Renee Mancer, who joined ASD more than 25 years ago, was promoted to Human Resource Administrator. Renee has trained more employees than any other person at ASD and has held many titles during her two and half decades with the company, including Training Specialist, Operations Supervisor and Training Supervisor. The guidance and support she has shown ASD’s new employees over the years is invaluable. Renee’s dedication and commitment to the company has been truly crucial to ASD’s success. In her new role within ASD’s Human Resources department, Renee will continue to support staff by communicating important information on health insurance, 401k plans, college tuition reimbursement and other ASD company benefits.

Ana Lopez has been named a Training Supervisor after demonstrating an exceptional work ethic and strong aptitude for teaching others. Ana previously held the title of Assistant Supervisor within ASD’s Operations department before her promotion. In her new position, Ana will help new ASD employees understand how to professionally and compassionately assist funeral home callers. This is a crucial role within ASD as the company’s Training Specialists are instrumental in helping staff to develop and refine their skills.

Tish Baker was also promoted to Training Supervisor to help ASD enhance its 6-month Training Program and provide new employees with added support. Tish joined ASD in 2017 and previously worked as an Assistant Supervisor within ASD’s Operations department.
