Will you be one of the 50?

Each year, NFDA randomly selects 50 members who are 40 years of age or younger, or new to the profession (first licensed within the last five years), to participate in an exclusive meeting with some of the profession’s leading funeral directors.


All you have to do for your chance to participate is enter the drawing! And here's the best part... thanks to a grant from the Funeral Service Foundation, the program is free to 50 people randomly selected to attend. (You only pay for your transportation to the program!) 

The registration fee, access to amazing mentors, two nights of lodging, a reception and meals during the program (more than a $799 value) are covered by the Funeral Service Foundation to provide support in your funeral Service career. 

The deadline to apply was 11:59 p.m. Central on Wednesday, January 8, 2020.

Winners will be announced the week of January 20, 2020.

Thank you for your generous support!

 

Mentees Say it Best!

"Meet the Mentors was beyond my expectations!"

"This experience was invaluable. I am grateful to have met the mentors, but especially to have met my peer group."

"It was a phenomenal experience! The opportunity to meet some of the greatest minds of Funeral Service was very valuable!"

 

The Fine Print

Meet the Mentors is held each March at the Emory Conference Center Hotel in Atlanta, GA. The names of 50 NFDA-member, licensed funeral directors/embalmers age 40 or under, or newly-licensed within the last five years, invited to participate in the program are chosen by random drawing held the last week of each January. The drawings may be viewed here beginning the week of the drawing.

One entry per person. Registration is not transferable. Spouses and guests are not eligible to attend. You must be 40 or under, or new to the profession (first licensed within the last five years), and an NFDA member at the time of entry. Previous Meet the Mentors attendees are not eligible to attend.

NFDA reserves the right to cancel the program due to circumstances beyond its control. NFDA’s liability for any cancellation shall not extend to claims, including, but not limited to, travel expenses, cancellation fees, lost wages, inconvenience and other related costs.
