About Cremation Association of North America - CANA
CANA is a 110-year-old startup with a nimble, responsive, fast-paced culture. There is a seasonal flow to the work so every day presents new challenges and opportunities. The office environment is hybrid/remote and most staff maintain the ability to work from home as well as the office. An open-door atmosphere to facilitate collaboration is maintained via MSTeams and in the office. Some staff travel frequently, so flexibility in communication is an advantage.
Each of the six current staff members are valued and form a strong team. Their individual backgrounds, education and experiences strengthen the association. In addition to paid staff, the association is led by volunteers who serve on the board of directors and advisory groups.
All employees are expected to stay informed of all association activities and assist each other with projects and tasks as needed. This is a flexible work environment. While we maintain set office hours each week, flex time is an option when needed, as well as a hybrid environment to work from home. Staff are held to high standards and enjoy regular opportunities to advance the profession.
