Jack Mitchell: Exceptional Learning and Networking with the President of NFDA

 



In this episode of The Glam Reaper Podcast, Jennifer has an interesting conversation with the new President-elect of the NFDA (National Funeral Directors Association), Jack Mitchell. Jack is a sixth-generation funeral director with Mitchell-Wiedefeld Funeral Home in Baltimore, Maryland.


Even at a young age and after being exposed to the family business, he already has that appreciation for what funeral directors do for people, and how helpful they are to people. Now as the new president-elect, he is looking to expand on the effort and the work of the association, especially where regulations are concerned.


See for yourself how interesting the conversation turned out to be.  Enjoy!


“The number one thing above all others that our members are telling us is their challenge, right now is simply getting good funeral directors.”  - Jack Mitchell
