SIDNEY — The Outstanding Senior Citizen Award aims to recognize older adults who go above and beyond in their county, and nominations for the 2022 Outstanding Senior Citizens are open.

The Area Agency on Aging, PSA 2, is accepting nominations for Outstanding Senior Citizen for each of the nine counties in their region: Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Shelby. Service in any field of endeavor should be considered. Please check nomination guidelines on the form for eligibility requirements. Previous award recipients cannot be considered.

Older Americans Month is celebrated every May and this year’s theme is “Age My Way.”

The deadline for all nominations is March 25. Each county’s Council on Aging will select its Outstanding Senior Citizen, who will be recognized in the local media and the Area Agency on Aging’s website and newsletter.

The nomination form is found on the Agency website at https://info4seniors.org/now-accepting-nominations-for-2021-outstanding-senior-citizen-awards/. Nomination forms can also be mailed by contacting Kelsey Haus at 937-341-3020 or [email protected].
