Dear Friend of the Aging Network:
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins and | invite you to nominate an inspiring person
to the Westchester Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. Those selected will be inducted at a
festive luncheon on Friday, December 4, 2026, from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm at the Westchester

This year is the 44th Annual Senior Citizens Hall of Fame, one of the Department of Senior
Programs and Services’ most empowering events, with over 700 people in attendance! It's a
wonderful tribute to older adults who have generously given their time and energy to improve
the quality of life in our community. Their contributions can be through their professional lives,
volunteer work, or both.
To be nominated, a person must:
e Be at least 60 or older, live in Westchester, and not be a past Hall of Fame inductee (a
list of past honorees may be found online at seniorcitizens.westchestergov.com
e Have made significant contributions to improving life in Westchester County;
e Be an outstanding leader or advocate;
e Have done professional work that reflects innovative solutions to fulfill unmet
community needs (if a nomination is based on paid professional work).
To nominate that special person, please complete the attached form. If you have questions,
please email Jill Sommer Stern at JillS@EventsRemember.com or call (914} 218-3968.
Nomination forms are due by Wednesday, September 9" and will be reviewed by a judging
committee. Please note: A nomination should be submitted once for each person, and organizations
and individuals will be allowed ONE nomination only.
Sponsorship opportunities and congratulatory ads in the commemorative journal are available. We
invite you to partner with us to honor the outstanding contributions of Westchester's older adults. For
sponsorship details and journal advertising opportunities, please visit

The Westchester Senior Citizens Hall of Fame is hosted by the Westchester County Department of

Thank you for helping us raise awareness of—and celebrate—the many ways Westchester's older

Sincerely,
Mae Carpenter
