“There are two primary reasons we have partnered with the NFDA and the TFDA on this important career development initiative,” said David de Gorter, ClearPoint CEO and President. “The first is our shared passion and commitment to the advancement and success of funeral service professionals. The second reason is our desire to support organizations that are such a strong advocate for the profession.”
NFDA’s Arranger Training Program is a high energy, interactive workshop that provides funeral professionals with the tools needed to partner with families and design memorable life tribute events. Through a combination of small- and large-group discussions, problem-solving and creative collaboration, attendees will leave with fresh approaches and new ideas to transform arrangement conferences.

“I’m looking forward to facilitating NFDA’s Arranger Training Program once again in the great state of Texas prior to TFDA’s annual convention.” stated NFDA’s Lacy Robinson. “Having a respected company like ClearPoint step up to support our Arranger Training Program is very much appreciated and speaks volumes of their support for the profession.”
“As a company solely focused on providing products and services to the death care industry, ClearPoint values organizations such as the NFDA and the TFDA that are devoted to the profession,” added de Gorter. “Just as with our financial donation to the Funeral Service Foundation, we believe supporting such organizations is crucial to the future success of funeral service, which makes this a very meaningful initiative for ClearPoint.”
