Each year the UFDA board selects up-and-coming promising funeral professionals to receive the UFDA Emerging Leader award. We are always looking for nominations from funeral home owners/managers, co-workers and others who notice new funeral professionals going above and beyond to make a difference in the profession.

• Licensed funeral director
• Current member of UFDA
• Licensed 5 years or less

• The UFDA board strives to select up to four individuals to receive the award each year.

• A member(s) of the UFDA board comes to the funeral home and presents a plaque to recognize the nominee.
• They also receive a free registration to an upcoming Annual Convention or Midwinter Meeting.
• Their achievements are recognized in UFDA’s Post e-newsletter and at UFDA’s Annual Convention.

• Contact the UFDA office at 801-263-3286 or at ufda.org@gmail.com or a member of the board at any time throughout the year.
