The NextGen selection committee faced a difficult task in selecting this year’s recipients. Says Abbie Hudgens, Administrator of the Tennessee Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and IAIABC President-Elect, “The NextGen Award recipients all had very impressive resumes of work and were held in high esteem by their nominators. The IAIABC applauds the hard work, dedication, and new ideas they are bringing to the industry, and we look forward to seeing the great things this group will accomplish in the future.”
Recipients will participate in a special session at the IAIABC 104th Convention on Tuesday, October 3, “A Conversation with the NextGen,” in Williamsburg, Virginia. Recipients will also be profiled in the October issue of Perspectives, the IAIABC’s quarterly digital magazine.
