President's Message
I would like to extend my New Year’s greeting to the OEA members. Can you believe another year has gone by so fast? We had a good turn out in Cincinnati last September and it was an informative group of speakers. I hope that many of you can attend our Winter Seminar in Batesville, Indiana. Please remember to save your Certificate of Continuing Education Hours for the past two years for auditing purposes so that you are prepared for the new procedure that the State of Ohio Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers has established. I’ll see you in April.
Sincerely,
Bruce Borowski
Important Procedures & Info
Please save your Con Ed Certificates for previous compliance period
and start a new folder for the current period that began January 1,
2009. If you are audited by the Board of Embalmers you will need to
show proof of attendance. Those of you who attended the venue at
Mountaineer Racetrack in Sept of 2006 do not need a certificate of
completion. The Board of Embalmers has instructed members to write in
060920 OEA Fall Seminar on the CE Audit form. Another method that is
helpful for tracking hours is to create a spreadsheet on a computer and
enter place held, sponsor, # of CEUs and date.
Dues are due. Membership is still just $40 per member.

David Hicks was elected as Chairman of the BIE, North American
Division at their annual meeting in Orlando, FL, fall of 2008. He
encourages OEA members to consider joining the BIE and those who are
already members of the BIE to be sure to “re-up” when dues
notices are sent.
