AN INVITATION TO CONVENTION ATTENDEES On behalf of the Florida Cemetery, Cremation & Funeral Association, I would like to invite you to attend the 2017 FCCFA Annual Convention & Trade Show! The theme for the 2017 convention is Sharing Solutions. The convention will be held at Turnberry Isle in Miami, Florida on June 22 24, 2017. The convention this year will kick off with a Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday afternoon, a Welcome Reception on Thursday evening and continue all day on Friday and Saturday providing attendees with outstanding speakers. On Friday evening there will be a networking reception in the trade show hall allowing extra time to visit the showcase of exhibits. The convention will conclude on Saturday evening with a reception, the Celebration of Life presentation and banquet dinner that will include the installation of the board of directors and officers, awards recognitions and entertainment from Latin dance performers. Make plans to visit the great showcase of products and services at the convention and support our supplier members. Carnival games and fundraisers will also take place in the trade show hall on Friday and Saturday during exhibit hours. Finally, I would like to thank the members of the convention planning committee for their time and efforts in planning this event.

2017 CONVENTION SPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, JUNE 23 10:15 a.m. 11:15 a.m. CAN WE REALLY BORROW BUSINESS STRATEGIES FROM WALMART? Presented by: Paul Seyler Competitive Resources, Inc. It s fair to say most independent operators want to be the opposite of Walmart - smaller, locally owned, and earning much better profit margins. But surprisingly, there are some strategy lessons we can learn from the retailing giant about leverage, facilities, collaboration and competitive advantage. This presentation looks at a few crucial factors in Walmart s success and unexpected ways that independent firms can use them to build a better, more competitive business. 11:30 a.m. 12:30 p.m. LEGAL INSIGHT FOR FUNERAL DIRECTORS Presented by: C. Glen Ged, Esq. Ellis, Ged & Bodden, P.A. This presentation with Glen Ged will provide attendees with an overview of timely and relevant legal issues facing the death care community. 1:45 p.m. 2:45 p.m. PANEL: BEST PRACTICES = BETTER BUSINESSES Panelists: Mark Kays Kays-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Homes & Cremation Services; Skip Knopke Baldwin Brothers Memorial Care Services, Inc. & Rusty Scott Lake Worth Memory Gardens Why reinvent the wheel when you can borrow proven techniques and strategies from your colleagues? This session will feature a panel of funeral professionals from around the state that will lead and engage in discussions about practices and processes that will lead to higher performance in your organization. Come learn and share with your colleagues! Mark Kays Skip Knopke Rusty Scott SATURDAY, JUNE 24 9:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. FUNERAL HOMES AND HOSPICES WORKING TOGETHER TO BETTER SERVE FAMILIES Presented by: Jim Monahan Former Executive Vice President of Tidewell Hospice This presentation will explore ways funeral home staff can enhance working relationships with hospices in their community to expand funeral and follow up services to the hospice patients and their families. Ideas come from positive and negative experiences that hospices have had when working with funeral homes. The results of a survey of hospice workers about working with local funeral homes will be presented. The needs of hospice social workers, chaplains and nurses that can be filled by funeral home services will also be presented with ideas about developing mutually beneficial relationships. 11:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS PANEL Panelists: Georgia McKeown GA McKeown & Associates & Wendy Russell Wiener, Esq.
