Turner encourages residents to submit nominations for Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame
SPRINGFIELD – To commemorate the achievements and contributions of older adults, State Senator Doris Turner is encouraging residents to submit their nominations to the Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame.
“We all have a senior a senior relative, friend or neighbor that helps brighten our community,” said Turner (D-Springfield). “Their kindness and acts of service deserve recognition. Let’s give them the respect they deserve by nominating them for the Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame.”
The Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame celebrates outstanding accomplishments in community service, education, the labor force and the arts. Each year, four candidates — one from each category — are inducted. Eligibility is based on an individual’s past and present accomplishments, and the candidate must be a current Illinois citizen or a former citizen for most of their life. Posthumous nominees are also considered.
Nominations for 2022 inductees must be submitted by June 1. For more information or to submit a nomination, visit www2.illinois.gov/aging/HallofFame/Pages/default.aspx.
