Make A Plan to Attend the 2026 Management Trustee Training

Program will equip management trustees with a clear understanding of their fiduciary responsibilities.

The 2026 Management Trustee Training will take place on April 22, 2026, at the Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois.

This one-day program is designed to equip management trustees with a clear understanding of their fiduciary responsibilities and the best practices required for effective benefit fund oversight.

Appropriate for both new and experienced trustees, the training will address key legal, financial, and regulatory obligations facing trustees today. Industry experts will provide practical, real-world guidance to help trustees remain engaged, informed, and compliant in their roles.

Federal regulators continue to emphasize trustee education as a critical component of sound fund governance. This training supports both trustees and appointing entities in meeting those expectations and maintaining strong oversight standards.
