Can you believe….?

Posted on: 08-19-2010 Posted in: Uncategorized

…it has been one year since AWFD was founded?

…the AWFD is the first ever association for women in the funeral industry?

…the AWFD has done 7 podcasts with 5 professionals in the funeral industry covering topics to help you and your professional journey?

…the AWFD has presented 4 teleseminars featuring a diverse array of experts in their respective fields?

…the AWFD has 63 members in 22 states?

…through publication of over 13 columns in Mortuary Management, and one full-length article in American Funeral Director, the AWFD has played a major role in advocating for women in funeral service?

…the AWFD has an advisory board of 8 women leaders in the funeral industry who are dedicated to nurturing other women in the industry to become leaders in their field, their businesses and their communities?

…the AWFD was founded on the simple perception of that there was a lack of support and advocacy for women in the funeral industry – women who have been subjected to a time-worn good ole’ boy business environment?

…the AWFD is growing, and wants to help you grow? You can believe it, because that’s our commitment to you.  Join us! Add your powerful voice to the mix, and help support one another. We want YOU!
