Nominate Someone You Admire for an ‘Inspire Positive Aging’ Award

Nominations are now open for Sound Generations’ annual Inspire Positive Aging award but the deadline is soon—Friday, May 8, 2020. An award nomination may be a meaningful way for you to honor an older person during Older Americans Month (May). Who do you know who fills this bill—age 60 or older, a resident of King County (Washington), and a model for:

• Community Service (someone who is a frequent and consistent volunteer, formal or informal)
• Advocacy & Activism (someone who promotes a cause or whose advocacy and civic participation has brought about positive change)
• Health & Wellness (someone who promotes fitness, healthy living, caregiving and/or emotional support)
• Intergenerational Impact (someone who improves life for younger people)
• Lifelong Learning (someone who inspires others to broaden their horizons through classes, creative expression, public education, or other endeavors)
• Defining Inspiration (someone who has inspired you in a unique way)

In previous years, the Inspire Positive Aging awards program has included a luncheon at a local hotel. Due to COVID-19, Sound Generations made the decision to hold a virtual LunchIN (online event) on June 10, 2020.
