Immediately following the Council of Chapter Representatives Meeting, SMACNA will conduct a Local Joint Adjustment Board (LJAB) Training. This training offers essential guidance on how to properly conduct an LJAB hearing and equips chapters and contractor panelists with the knowledge and resources needed to effectively navigate the process. This free half day program will show you how to:

• Conduct a proper LJAB hearing
• Handle common procedural objections
• Maintain arbitrational immunity

You’ll also learn how to prepare for complex legal issues that often accompany grievances. Plus, you will leave knowing how to draft binding decisions. There is no charge for this program, so please let your management LJAB members know about this training opportunity and plan to attend. When you register for Council, please indicate if you would like to attend this program.

Don't miss this chance to connect with fellow chapter representatives and shape the future of our industry. Please note: be sure to make your hotel reservation by no later than November 14, 2025 to qualify for the negotiated room rate.
