Nominations Open for Third Annual Age of Excellence Awards

LONGMEADOW — Celebrating achievement, purpose, and possibility at every stage of life, Glenmeadow announced the opening of nominations for the Age of Excellence Awards: Celebrating Success Over 60 — now entering its third year of honoring remarkable community members.

Building on the success of the past two years, this signature event continues to spotlight older adults whose lives reflect vitality, resilience, and meaningful contribution.

“Each year, we are honored to celebrate extraordinary people whose stories remind us that purpose, passion, and achievement grow richer with age,” said Kathy Martin, president and CEO of Glenmeadow. “The Age of Excellence Awards shine a light on those who continue to inspire, lead, and make a lasting impact in our community.”

The Age of Excellence Awards honor individuals age 60 and above who are making significant contributions in a wide range of pursuits. It may be through innovative career achievements, active community involvement, ongoing personal development, or outstanding commitment to others. Rather than serving as a lifetime achievement recognition, the Age of Excellence highlights those who continue to engage and inspire, even after the traditional age of retirement.

Anyone who knows someone whose journey motivates, uplifts, and reminds others that success has no age limit is encouraged to submit a nomination.

Nominations are open through June 14 and may be submitted online at glenmeadow.org. Paper copy nomination forms are available at Glenmeadow’s concierge desk, or a PDF may be downloaded from the event page and mailed to: Age of Excellence Awards, 24 Tabor Crossing, Longmeadow, MA 01106. A distinguished panel of community leaders will thoughtfully review all submissions and select this year’s honorees.

Award recipients will be celebrated during an inspiring ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at Twin Hills Country Club. The evening will bring together honorees, family members, friends, and supporters for a memorable celebration of exceptional achievements and lasting impact.
