NEX GEN nominations due by July 15

There are just 10 days left to nominate your "rising star" to participate in the 2016-17 SNPA NEX-GEN Mentor program. 

This year-long program offers newspaper professionals with executive potential the opportunity to develop their industry knowledge, analytical skills and aptitude for innovation.

Each of the eight selected protégés is paired one-on-one with one of the brightest talents in the newspaper industry. 

The rising executives who are chosen to participate will meet for the first time with their mentors at SNPA's News Industry Summit in Sarasota, Sept. 14-16.  The 2016-17 NEX GEN experience will culminate with a presentation at SNPA's 2017 News Industry Summit in Colorado Springs.

The SNPA Foundation will subsidize most of the costs of participation by the selected executives, including their conference fees, hotel rooms, meals and up to $300 for airfare to attend each of the two meetings.

Don't miss this opportunity to nominate the best and the brightest from your newspaper. 

The payback for your nominee and your newspaper is significant.
