ODA Seeks Nominations for Senior Citizens Hall of Fame
The Ohio Department of Aging (ODA) has issued a call for nominations for outstanding older individuals to be inducted into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. The hall honors Ohioans age 60 and older for their extraordinary achievements and contributions. Individuals and organizations interested in nominating a neighbor, colleague, family member or friend may do so online. The department will accept nominations through July 31, 2010. Honorees will be inducted to the Hall of Fame in the spring of 2011. Nominees must be age 60 or older and be native-born Ohioans or a resident of the state for at least 10 years. Posthumous nominations will be accepted. Self-nominations are not accepted. Nominees will be evaluated on the impact of their current contributions, or a continuation of contributions begun before age 60, in a variety of areas of endeavor. Those selected will join more than 350 older Ohioans who set examples by leading active and positive lives not defined by age or barriers, and who demonstrate significant contributions to their communities.
