The work you do as a funeral professional is vital to your community. You offer support and connection to people when they need it most. It’s NFDA’s job to offer that same support and connection to members. NFDA is seeking candidates to help lead the association by serving on the Board of Directors.

Being involved in the National Funeral Directors Association has never been more important. With the many challenges the funeral service profession faces – evolving consumer preferences, potential federal regulatory changes by the FTC and EPA, issues finding qualified staff, and so many more – we are at a crucial point as a profession. You have an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution by serving on the Board of Directors.
