FM’s Fleming Featured Speaker at Statewide Towns Conference

FM's COO shares governance and fiscal policy changes with New York's leading municipalities.

FM’s CCO, David Fleming, was a featured speaker at the Association of Town’s annual conference and training school in New York City.  The conference is an annual tradition for the leadership of New York’s 933 towns.

David is widely recognized as a state expert in cemetery regulation and management. During his more than thirty years of advocating cemetery interests, David has negotiated some of the most significant changes in cemetery and cremation policy in New York which are now utilized as national models for cemetery regulation. During the pandemic of 2020, he was an emergency management resource to state and national organizations in death care planning and response while also managing cemetery and crematory operations. He is frequently tasked by state representatives, local governments, religious organizations, and trade groups, to handle complex and high-profile death care issues.

The annual conference provides a unique opportunity for FM to update officials from across the state on policy and governance matters that directly impact their residents and their fiscal plans.
