The International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) has opened nominations for its 7^th annual NextGen Awards. The IAIABC NextGen Awards recognize individuals under the age of 40 who are having a positive impact on the workers’ compensation industry and are doing exemplary work for their organizations. Since its inception, the IAIABC has honored 45 individuals with a NextGen award.

IAIABC NextGen Award winners are positively impacting every facet of the industry, such as claims management, business operations, data reporting, and public administration. The IAIABC NextGen Awards are an excellent opportunity to recognize exceptional employees who go above and beyond. They also have a significant impact on the NextGen recipients. “The IAIABC has given the NextGen Award recipients the opportunity to be visible in our industry and discuss what's valuable to each of us. Presenting at the annual Convention was the most fun and rewarding experience I had all year,” said Alex O’Neal, NextGen Class of 2022.

Nominations can be made for any individual under the age of 40 who is working in the workers’ compensation industry. Colleagues and peers nominate those in the industry whose work has gone above and beyond. Nominees do not need to work for IAIABC member organizations.

NextGen Award nominations are open now and can be submitted through March 10, 2023. Finalist statements of support will be requested beginning April 4 and close on April 28. Winners will be notified and announced by June 2.
