This annual event aims to recognize individuals aged 60 and older who have made significant contributions to the community through outreach, personal action, inspiration, public service, sports/educational efforts and civic humanitarian endeavors.

The council is seeking nominations for seniors whose passion for helping others is evident through their actions and the inspiration they provide. You are encouraged to nominate individuals who have successfully overcome personal challenges to meet the needs of others, as well as those involved in intergenerational efforts and community betterment.

Nominees must be residents of Northampton County and must be aged 60 or older.

To submit a nomination, complete the nomination form and attach an essay of 250 words or less, describing why the individual deserves to be recognized. Be sure to include as many volunteer activities as you can that highlight the candidate’s contributions.
