The Illinois Township Senior Services Association 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 a 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.
Please stay tuned for the nomination form which is usually available in August.
