At a state level, he has spoken at the Minnesota Association of Cemeteries (MAC) and attends their annual meetings. In 2019, Harens joined the ICCFA sales and marketing committee and went on to co-chair the 2022 DEAD Talks sales event. Outgoing chairman John Bolton, who served with distinction during his extensive tenure, expressed confidence in Harens, stating, “After many years of steering the sales and marketing committee ship, the time has come for me to hand the helm to fresh hands. I am filled with immense gratitude for the opportunity to have served as chairman of this great ICCFA committee, and for the wisdom and camaraderie of the entire team. I leave behind a legacy of dedication and a spirit of collaboration. As I pass the torch to Mike Harens, I do so with immense confidence in him, and our next generation of leaders on this committee. Their shared vision and energy will propel the educational opportunities for the January event to even greater heights.” “I am truly honored to step into the role of chairman for the sales and marketing committee at the ICCFA,” said Harens. “As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the funeral service and memorialization profession, I am excited to collaborate with the talented committee members and build upon the groundwork laid by Bolton. I look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and I am grateful for the trust placed in me by the ICCFA.” Order Your Favorite Plush Animal! “I Love My Funeral Director” Now is the PERFECT TIME to order the PERFECT GIFTS “I Love My Cemeterian” Order Online at NomisPublications.com or call 1-800-321-7479
