Annual Awards

The Illinois Township Association of Senior Citizens Services Committee accepts nominations for the "Commitment to Senior Services Awards" annually. These awards are given in recognition of outstanding commitment to meeting the needs of older adults within the community. Winners from the previous year are not eligible to receive the same award category in the following year. All award winners will be announced at the Annual Awards Breakfast at the TOI Educational Conference in November. Nominations for 2020 are available.
