Board of Directors of GREATER KANSAS CITY

President
Amy Simmons
Amy Simmons, EdD, MSW, LCSW has spent her career in social work, education, and nonprofit leadership, always focused on advocacy, community outreach, and making sure people have access to the information and resources they need. She first got involved with the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Greater Kansas City in 2022, serving as a board member before stepping into leadership roles, including her current position as President. Through this work, she has seen firsthand how vital it is to help individuals and families navigate the often confusing and costly world of funeral planning.
Now, as a board member for the national Funeral Consumers Alliance, she is committed to expanding consumer protections, strengthening legislative advocacy, and supporting local FCA affiliates in their efforts to educate and empower their communities. Her background in policy, fundraising, and program development allows her to contribute to FCA’s national strategy, while her experience in writing, research, and technology integration helps enhance outreach and engagement. She believes in making funeral planning more transparent, ethical, and accessible for all, and is excited to help FCA continue its important work on a larger scale.
