Will County State’s Attorney Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

WILL COUNTY, IL — Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Senior Services of Will County at its annual meeting in March. The state's attorney's office said Glasgow was recipient of the award for contributions to the community spanning nearly three decades.

“Serving as State’s Attorney has given me the incredible opportunity to help those who are the most vulnerable in our communities – including our seniors, who are victims of crimes ranging from physical abuse to financial fraud by criminals who prey on the elderly,” Glasgow said in a release. “As someone who was adopted at birth, I understand firsthand the importance of a sense of community and of reaching out to help others. That’s why I have stressed not only prosecution, but counseling and rehabilitative services, and have worked closely with members of our community to find creative solutions to help address the challenges faced by vulnerable people who need our help.”

Glasgow has started several initiatives during his time as state's attorney, including: Will County Children's Advocacy Center, Will County problem solving courts, and the League of Extraordinary Canines & Friends.

“It is especially meaningful for me to receive this recognition from Senior Services of Will County, an organization that enriches the lives of seniors throughout Will County and works with selfless dedication to ensure our seniors receive the assistance they need in all facets of their daily life,” Glasgow said. “I look forward to working with Senior Services as it expands to its new facility in Romeoville. We are in discussions exploring how our office can further assist our seniors by joining forces with Senior Services at this location.”

Senior Services of Will County’s Executive Director Barry Kolanowski presented Glasgow with the award at the organization’s annual meeting. The state's attorney's office said the Lifetime Achievement Award is presented each year to an individual over the age of 60 who has provided a lifetime of service while continuing to be engaged in the community.
