The Village of Lombard is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the 20th Annual Senior of the Year Awards. These awards celebrate the dedication and impact of seniors in our community who volunteer or go above and beyond to make Lombard a better place.

Residents are encouraged to nominate seniors who have demonstrated a commitment to serving others. To be eligible, nominees must be 65 years of age or older and reside within the incorporated limits of Lombard. Nominations should include a brief statement (50 words or less) highlighting why the nominee deserves recognition, along with a short biography.

“We all know a senior who gives their time, energy and heart to others,” said Trustee Jessie Hammersmith, Chair of the Community Relations Committee. “This is a chance to celebrate them. Nominating someone only takes a few minutes, and it’s a powerful way to show how much their efforts are appreciated.”

All nominations must be received by 4:30 p.m., Friday, September 5, 2025, for consideration. The Community Relations Committee will vote for the winner on Monday, September 8, 2025. Nominees and winners will be notified and announced publicly.
