INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced Monday that nominations are now being accepted for the 2023 Golden Hoosier Award. It is the 16th year of the program.
“Our state is filled with generous Hoosiers who are constantly giving back to their neighborhoods and communities,” said Lt. Gov. Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “The Golden Hoosier Award is an opportunity to honor those who have dedicated their lives to serving Indiana communities.”
The award began in 2008 and annually observes senior Hoosiers for their lifetime of commitment and service to their communities. Since the program began, over 200 Hoosiers have been honored.
To be eligible, the nominee must currently be an Indiana resident, age 65 or older, and have been a volunteer in the community for the past three years.
The deadline for submitting applications is Sunday, July 9. Nomination forms can be accessed electronically by visiting in.gov/lg/lt-governor-
A ceremony honoring those selected will be held later this year.
