Valley Legacy Nominees and Recipients 2005 – 2011
Nominations for 2012 Valley Legacy Awards
You know them. You work with them. They are dedicated to making the Mahoning Valley a better place to live. They volunteer their time. They started programs that have improved people’s lives, the arts, the economy, and so much more. They are advocates for the elderly and speak for them when they cannot.
We will be seeking nominations for people who should be recognized for a lifetime of working to improve the Mahoning Valley or who have provided exceptional support of older Americans through their professional, volunteer, or civic roles. To be considered, nominees must have left a lasting legacy for our community and inspired others through their work ethic, concern for others, and enthusiasm for the betterment of our community.
We will post the nomination forms here and on the Latest News section of this site when they become available.
If you have any questions or want clarification on the nomination process, please contact Lynn Miller at either LMiller@ShepherdoftheValley.com or call 330-530-4038, ext. 2057.
A MAHONING VALLEY TRADITION
Each year since 2005, the Valley Legacy Awards program has honored civic-minded seniors and senior advocates for their dedication to the Mahoning Valley.
A luncheon event is held in the fall at which we celebrate both those who have established a lasting legacy of service, and individuals who inspire others through their actions and deeds. Recipients are nominated in one of two categories by members of the community. These categories are Outstanding Senior and Outstanding Senior Advocate.
Outstanding Senior Award
Individuals nominated in this category have demonstrated a lifelong commitment to the community through professional, volunteer, or civic activities. Each must be considered a positive role model and be at least 60 years of age.
Outstanding Senior Advocate Award
Nominated in this category are individuals of any age or a volunteer group that demonstrated an exceptional effort to assist seniors through professional, volunteer, or civic activities.
