“Older residents enrich our communities by contributing insight, experiences and achievements,” Glowiak Hilton said. “As residents continue to support one another through challenging times, the Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame is an opportunity to highlight local heroes for their successes and offer well-deserved recognition.”

Created in 1994, the Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame honors older adults’ accomplishments and contributions to their communities. Each year, four Illinoisans ages 65 or older are inducted into the Hall of Fame for their work in community service, education, arts or the labor force. 

Nominations for 2022 inductees must be submitted by June 1. For more information, visit https://www2.illinois.gov/aging/HallofFame.
