Welcome to the post-2022 Annual Convention edition of The Director’s Digest. As detailed in more depth
herein, I am pleased to write that the MFDA annual
state convention and tradeshow were held in Helena as an in-person for the first time in three years. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Association was forced to cancel the 2020 and 2021 conventions. But, with the lifting of the various government mandates and the
drop in COVID-19 numbers, the MFDA restarted this popular and informative member benefit. And what a convention it was!

Greetings members. Thank you all for the opportunity to serve as your association president. It has been a rewarding experience and humbling at
the same time. I have had some great experiences and met some great people, and I feel we did well during my time as president.

What a fantastic convention we had in Helena! It was full of positive conversation and interaction being able
to meet face-to-face. A big thank you to Jim Brown and Terri James for putting together another successful convention. The speakers were all outstanding
with very good information. An additional note of thanks to our vendors for their support, attendance, and excellent booth setups. We all appreciate the partnership we share in Funeral Service.
