The Funeral and Memorial Information Council (FAMIC) has earned a 2016 ASAE Power of A Silver Award for its Have the Talk of a Lifetime® consumer outreach initiative. Have the Talk of a Lifetime® is a national public awareness campaign aimed at motivating families to have conversations about life and what matters most to them.
“Congratulations to FAMIC and its partners for their hard work and for helping to make the world a better place,” said Sharon J. Swan, FASAE, CAE, Chief Executive Officer of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics and chair of the Power of A Awards Judging Committee. “Their initiative exemplifies how associations are a positive force in our everyday lives – not just to the profession or industry they represent, but to society at large.”
“FAMIC is honored that Have the Talk of a Lifetime® has been recognized with this prestigious award,” said FAMIC President Kathleen Berry. “We are proud to bring the funeral service profession together and encourage consumers to share their unique life stores. Through these stories we hope that when the time comes, families can experience a more meaningful memorialization.”
