As a member
of the Florida Funeral Directors Association, you receive
valuable benefits not available elsewhere to help you, your
profession and the families you serve. Here are some of those
benefits:
Impact over laws and rules governing the profession
There has been a lobbying team in place for many years and
with the same lobbyist for over 25 years; thereby providing
continuity and insight found nowhere else. The FFDA team either
works independently or in coalition with other groups such
as cemeterians, pre-need representatives, funeral industry
consultants, and other public interest groups, depending upon
the issue. The laws and rules affect your profession more
than anything else. Membership in FFDA puts you in the loop.
FFDA Political Action Committee
The PAC raises money and is a focused source of support for
legislative campaigns and causes that the Association feels
would be most beneficial to the Industry and the public it
serves. For further information, or to make a contribution, please contact Leigh Ann Bradley at leighann@executiveoffice.org
Florida Funeral "Director"
This professional quarterly magazine discusses timely issues,
new laws and rules, information about activities of others
in the profession, new products and services, happenings of
national and international scope, and the activities of your
Association and its members. It comes with your membership;
otherwise the subscription rate is $30.00 per year. For further information, or to request a non-member subsrciption, please contact Leigh Ann Bradley at leighann@executiveoffice.org”
Relevant Continuing Education Opportunities
Through the yearly District tour, the Annual Convention and in partnership with ArcMesa Educators,
you have a number of opportunities to secure the required
continuing education credits and updated education courses
to improve your skills and renew your license. ArcMesa also

FFDA can simultaneously fax information on legislative matters,
special meetings, death notices, and other immediate information
