Why AFDA Membership Pays..

The value of membership goes well beyond your dues. Shrinking revenues may cause funeral home owners and managers to call into question the value of membership in AFDA. In light of this challenge, we ask you to consider operating your business with or without the resources and support only available from AFDA. Ask yourself, "When is it that I need support?" "When do I need the fastest answers?" "When do I need a network of friends whom I can turn to?"

While considering these questions, think about the fact that AFDA has 3 employees, and several volunteers, searching, analyzing, reading, publishing, debating, investigating, solving, and winning-all working to make your businesses more productive and efficient! Do you want to do all this on your own? What would the costs be in terms of your time, money and effort? AFDA membership starts to look like the bargain it is when framed in this light!

We hope this helps you understand why AFDA membership really does pay! Your contribution to, and participation in, AFDA is significant because it not only contributes to your business growth and professional enhancement, but also furthers the mission of the industry as well.
