Annual Awards Nominations Open for 2026 Conference

LeadingAge Ohio is now accepting nominations for its 2026 Annual Awards, which recognize member organizations and individuals whose work reflects leadership, innovation, service, and a strong commitment to older Ohioans. Awards will be presented during the LeadingAge Ohio Annual Meeting this fall, and nominations are open through May 29, 2026. Member organizations may nominate colleagues, staff, volunteers, or their organizations across five categories: the Aging Services Impact Award, Emerging Leader Award, Excellence in Caring Award, Visionary Leadership Award of Honor, and the Heart of Hospice-Rose and Sam Stein Award.

LeadingAge Ohio is also accepting nominations for the 2026 Hall of Changemakers display at Annual Conference. Created for this year’s conference theme, Celebrating the Changemakers, the recognition highlights individuals or member organizations whose influence has made a lasting difference in a life, workplace, or community. Honorees will be featured in the Hall of Changemakers display during the conference.
