New Website Format Offers Latest News and More Service n an effort to provide association members with the latest state of the arts information services, the National Concrete and Burial Vault Association has upgraded its Internet website to an all new dynamic, interactive format. Members logging on to the site will be able to utilize new features usually only available to the largest U.S. associations and companies. The site located at http:// www. ncbva.org , now allows members to establish their own home page which includes the latest information that can affect their businesses in many ways. A feature of the member home page provides instant access to industry news as it happens, bringing the latest information to the member almost immediately. "We want our members to know of changes affecting the burial vault industry all over the country that could affect our businesses. We need to let them know what's going on as soon as we get that information," said NCBVA President Jack Swihart. The updated information is a compilation of stories from wire services and other services condensed for easy and quick reading by the vault manufacturer. Once at the NCBVA site, simply click on "My Home Page" on the index on the left hand site. The NCBVA is using the largest part of the home page for promotion to funeral directors and consumers on the value of utilizing a concrete burial vault over that of other materials. Members may also utilize the membership directory which includes a listing of all companies belonging to the organization cross referenced by type of vault and dealership/franchise. You can also verify the plant certification status on any member with the new system. "We're hoping this might be of assistance to the vault manufacturer member in facilitating vault transfers to other parts of the country," said Swihart. Members may also check in to get the latest updated information on the NCBVA convention including program and the ability to register on line. Members interested In communicating with the leadership of NCBVA will be able to do it through a new leadership section.
