State senior service award nominations open

By Courier-Tribune

The office of Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe is accepting nominations for the 2024 Lieutenant Governor’s Senior Service Award. The Lieutenant Governor’s Senior Service Award promotes and highlights the positive accomplishments Missouri’s senior citizens provide their local communities, according to a release from his office.

Nominations are open through April 1. The nomination form can be found at ltgov.mo.gov/senior-service-award-nominations. Nominees must be Missourians at least 60 years of age who volunteer a minimum of 25 hours per year.

“As Missouri’s official senior advocate, it is one of my highest honors to recognize seniors who positively impact their communities through service,” Kehoe said. “Hundreds of outstanding Missouri seniors have been honored since this award was instituted in 2005, and we are excited to give much-deserved recognition to this year’s winners.”

Kehoe’s office staff will review nominations, notify nominators if their nominees have been chosen and coordinate award presentations for the selected award winners. Winners will receive an official declaration and challenge coin from Kehoe.
