Carrie McFadden will be presenting at the California Public Employers Labor Relations Association (CALPELRA) Annual Conference in Monterey, California!
On Wednesday, November 18, 2026, alongside fellow workplace investigators Megan Amanda Miller and Arti Bhimani, Carrie will present the following session sponsored by the Association of Workplace Investigators, “The Investigator’s Edge: Using Human Judgment to Weigh Evidence and Reach Findings With Confidence.”
The session will explore the challenges investigators face when they receive conflicting accounts, incomplete documentation, and evidence that does not clearly support one side over the other. In these situations, investigators can become stuck when the available evidence feels like a “close call.” This session will explore practical approaches to collecting and evaluating different forms of evidence and assessing credibility, especially in “close call” situations. Through a mock investigation scenario with recorded witness interviews, attendees will gain practical tools for analyzing close evidentiary calls, working through investigative “sticking points,” and reaching well-supported findings.
If you are attending CALPELRA’s annual conference this year, please stop by and say hello!
