Now Accepting Nominations: NextGen Professional of the Year Award

Do you know someone making a difference in the funeral profession? Now’s the time to nominate them—or yourself—for the 2027 NextGen Professional of the Year Award.

As 2026 recipient David Mayne Root shared, being recognized by fellow professionals is "a meaningful honor," and he encourages others to "nominate themselves or their colleagues so that this recognition can continue to highlight the outstanding people we work alongside every day."

This prestigious honor will be presented at the 2027 NextGen Seminar in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with complimentary registration included. Nominations close on October 1, 2026.
