Online Vault Portal Jeff Miller, Director of Business Development BOOTH #3537 A Vision for the Future By Jeff Holcomb, founder of Continuing Vision A few days ago, I glanced at my New York State funeral license and noticed the date: June 23, 1980. I realized my 44th licensure anniversary had just passed. Over these four decades, I’ve witnessed tremendous changes in our profession, from my own growth to the evolving landscape of our industry. In 2007, I founded Continuing Vision with a mission to make continuing education more convenient and accessible for all funeral professionals. Our goal is to provide informative, enriching, and practical instruction delivered by carefully selected expert instructors. These courses cover a wide range of topics, addressing many facets of the funeral industry. Continuing Vision is committed to supporting the growth and development of every professional in our field. On behalf of Continuing Vision, I am excited to make the following major announcement. Continuing Vision is launching a dynamic mentoring program for funeral service students and young licensed professionals! This initiative will provide vital support to those embarking on their new careers, many of whom are first-generation funeral professionals. We have assembled an exceptional team of seasoned experts dedicated to mentoring and nurturing our future leaders. I invite all to join us on this journey, Continuing the Vision: Mentoring the Future, to secure the future of our profession and vocation. Let’s make a difference and leave a legacy of promise and growth. Through education we can shape the future. To learn more, visit www.continuingvision.com or email Jeff at continuingvision@aol.com.
