Connecticut’s First 60 Over 60 Awards Deadline Approaching

The deadline is approaching for those who want to honor Connecticut residents over age 60 who make a difference in the lives of others or in their community. The deadline to submit is Feb. 13.

The first “60 Over 60 Awards” were created by Duncaster as a way to showcase the lives of people 60 or better who continue to have a unique impact on their world, their communities or the lives of others.

“Our state has so many remarkable people who are 60 or better and we want to recognize them for their continued accomplishments,” says Carol Ann McCormick, VP Sales and Marketing at Duncaster. “We’ve all heard of 40 Under 40 awards that highlight the successes of this group of people. We created these awards in recognition of the ongoing inspiration and achievement of those 60 or better.”

Anyone may nominate someone age 60 or better. Self-nominations and multiple nominations are encouraged. Nominators need not live in Connecticut, but nominees must have residency. Nominations are open until February 13, 2017.
