Lombard seeks nominees for 2024 Senior Man and Woman of the Year Awards

The village of Lombard is taking nominations for the 19th annual Senior of the Year Awards. These awards celebrate the dedication and impact of seniors in our community who volunteer or go above and beyond to make Lombard a better place.

Residents are encouraged to nominate seniors who have demonstrated a commitment to serving others. To be eligible, nominees must be 65 years of age or older and reside within the incorporated limits of Lombard.

Nominations should include a brief statement (50 words or less) highlighting why the nominee deserves recognition, along with a short biography.

“Each year, the Senior of the Year Awards give us the opportunity to recognize and thank seniors in our community who are making a difference — no matter how big or small,” said Trustee Dan Militello, chair of the community relations committee. “It only takes a few minutes to nominate a neighbor, friend, or family member that has contributed to making Lombard such a great place to live, and we look forward to recognizing their contributions.”

All nominations must be received by 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, for consideration. The community relations committee will vote for the winner on Monday, Sept. 9. Nominees and winners will be notified and announced publicly.

Nominations can be submitted by mail to Village of Lombard, Attention: “Senior of the Year,” 255 E. Wilson, Lombard, IL, 60148, or via email at communications@villageoflombard.org.
