FuneralVision.com's recent article delves into the impressive career of our very own Jay Dodds, exploring his long-standing contributions to the funeral industry. Check it out below!
He and a co-worker left a publicly traded company to start a company of their own … only to sell it a few years later to a different publicly traded company altogether for about $123 million. He wasn’t done. Then, he climbed to the top of the ranks of his new employer and helped broker its transition to private ownership. As a boy, he was often called to the office at school not because he was in trouble … but because a hearse was waiting outside, so he could join his dad or sister on a first call. Throughout his career, he has given tirelessly – of both his treasure and time – to the ICCFA - International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association's Educational Foundation, the Funeral Service Foundation and to the growth of his fellow funeral professionals, many of which are much more than colleagues … they are his loyal friends. He is a maverick and one of the good guys. His name is Jay Dodds, and he’s the ICCFA Educational Foundation’s Lasting Impact Award winner. And his story is on FuneralVision.com. https://lnkd.in/eZBy-UhA
