Past President's Message

Submitted by Executive Director on Tue, 11/29/2011 - 5:33pm

It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as President of the Colorado Funeral Directors Association this past year. I want to thank those who served on the board and our Executive Director for their time and efforts.
Overall I believe we had a good year. We instituted a scholarship program in conjunction with Arapahoe Community College, which will serve to benefit funeral service education in our state. The scholarship proceeds from our golf tournament , which by the way was a great success , and the auction during our recent convention have given us over $3,000 to start this program.
A new website was also put in place during this past year and a Facebook page was started, I hope you enjoy using them and they are helpful tools for our state association.
The annual convention which we just concluded was a huge success, the programs were very good, our keynote speaker, Karl Mecklenburg was excellent. I want to thank all the sponsors and vendors who helped make the convention a success.

President's Message

Submitted by Executive Director on Tue, 11/29/2011 - 5:31pm

I’d like to start with a sincere thank you to the CFDA and CAC Convention planning committee - What a wonderful convention we experienced in early September!

This year, it is my esteemed honor to be serving the CFDA as President. It is a title and job that I don’t take lightly. You see, in Funeral Service and the death care industry, we have a unique opportunity to serve families within crisis and celebration. We can be both the doer of good deeds and the voice of reason and direction. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I truly love this job.

In the same way, the CFDA exists to serve its members through education, collaboration, resources and representation. Through our membership and the strength our numbers provide, the CFDA can accomplish many great tasks. With new legislation on the horizon, electronic death registrations, pre-need reviews on the state level, and opportunities to share and network new ideas, we need each other now more than ever.

How may the CFDA serve you and your firm or organization and what can you bring to the table to strengthen our group? Yes, I do want to hear from you - ryan@hoodmortuary.com.
