On Monday, August 17, 2020 the New York State Funeral Directors Association (NYSFDA) held their 2020 Annual Meeting at their headquarters in Albany, NY. During that meeting, they installed new Officers and Board members for 2020-21. We are excited to share that three of the 2020-21 NYSFDA Officers are current MetFDA members.

Please join us in congratulating:
