I know I'm passed the deadline, but I'll play along anyway. I'm interested to see what is posted on this subject. Kristine Hillmer, CAE Senior VP - Association Services National Funeral Directors Association Our greatest challenge is meeting the needs of our members who include many long-term professionals who have not embraced technological advances, while also meeting the needs of our progressive members who have not only embraced, but require us to be cutting edge. We have had to add to the delivery mothods that we use with our members while maintaining the tried and true ways of communicating. Ultimately a key lesson for us is that no matter the delivery method, we need to continually communicate all of our messages in multiple times and in multiple ways. We have also learned that we need to continue to offer the breadth of delivery methods and not expect that all of our members will follow suit with the latest is technology advances. Email, websites, blogs, wikis, webconferences and such will never totally replace snail mail, phone calls and in-person gatherings. There is a need and a place for all delivery methods and mixture thereof. Happy Birthday, Jeff! I know I’m passed the deadline, but I’ll play along anyway.

Thanks Jamie and Jeff for the offer.
