SCHENECTADY – The deadline for submitting nominations for the esteemed 2024 Hon. Karen B. Johnson Schenectady County Older New Yorker of the Year Award is fast approaching, with the final date being this Friday.
This prestigious award, facilitated by the county’s Department of Senior and Long Term Care Services, was established to acknowledge and celebrate the older adults in our community who selflessly devote their time to various community initiatives. In 2019, the award was rechristened in memory of Johnson, a dedicated worker of the department.
Eligible nominees are any Schenectady residents who are 60 years of age or older. The nomination form is readily available on the county’s official website.
“Our senior residents are a treasure trove of wisdom and experience, and their contributions to our community are immeasurable,” expressed Schenectady County Legislator Omar McGill, who also serves as the Vice Chair of the Health, Housing & Human Services Committee. “These awards are a heartfelt expression of our appreciation for their significant contributions and the positive influence they exert on our community.”
Disagree with the deadline #Friday, its unfair to close so soon.
Disagree with the short deadline, give seniors more time to submit their nominations.
