The Next Gen Group

The Next Gen Group is a network of young professionals preparing to become the next generation of operators, managers, and owners. Through our annual meetings, we collaborate, share ideas, and develop the skills needed to lead our companies into the future.

Our members consistently introduce innovative ideas and improvements within their businesses, driving meaningful change and embracing new efficiencies and technologies. We understand that change is inevitable. The way companies operated 20–30 years ago is not sustainable for the next 20. As technology continues to evolve rapidly, we must be prepared. The Next Gen Group helps ensure we are ready.

Next Gen Cares: Who Are We and What Do We Do?

Next Gen is the next generation of NEMEON — a thriving group of inspired individuals committed to making a difference. In 2018, former Next Gen Representative Brett Barry sparked a philanthropic movement by uniting members to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

That year, NEMEON raised over $16,000 for St. Jude — but we knew it was only the beginning.

Later in 2018, the Next Gen Philanthropic Committee was formed. Under the name NextGen Cares, we expanded our mission and began creating branded merchandise and long-term fundraising initiatives. Our goal was to make a greater impact by supporting not only St. Jude, but also organizations that serve military heroes and families in need.

Today, Next Gen Cares raises funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Wounded Warrior Project, and Habitat for Humanity. We officially launched our expanded program at the NEMEON Annual Meeting in Dallas, where we raised over $5,000 in just four days through shirt and raffle sales.

We are grateful for the continued support of our members and look forward to growing this initiative even further. We encourage every member to participate in supporting one — or all three — of our philanthropic partners.
