USS and the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) celebrate the contributions that older adults make to our community by nominating them for 3 awards. The AAA 2026 Outstanding Senior Citizen Award is presented to one resident of Clark County selected by a committee of Senior professionals. The award winner is announced at the Older American’s Day event for Older Americans Month on the AAA website and summer newsletter.
The USS annual awards are Excellence in Leadership & Inspirational Service. USS award winners are announced at our annual Older Americans Day luncheon. We encourage everyone to consider individuals who have made significant contributions to the Clark County community for these awards.
