About Kim Stacey, Founder and CEO
“As an anthropologist, freelance content and copy writer and funeral home marketing strategist, I’ve had the privilege of working with, and writing for, funeral service professionals for the past seven years. During that time, the respect I have for the work, and those who do it, has only deepened.
“In fact, in 2010, I became a licensed funeral director, and my license hangs in the offices of a woman-owned firm, A Special Touch Funeral & Cremation Service, in Dublin, California. Owner Sharon Mace is a long-standing member of the AWFP.
“It has been my desire to more completely support the women in the field, who are facing challenges in the workplace, and in balancing their domestic and professional lives. I invite you to join the AWFP, and bring your personality and professional expertise to our membership. Let’s make 2011 a wonderful year of significant change in all our lives!”
Currently, Kim is the Coordinator for the AWFP Mastermind Groups Program. She has extensive experience in leading mastermind groups so that each member receives the unique benefits of a weekly “meeting of the minds.” Contact Kim today to learn more about the 2011 Mastermind Groups.
