MADISON, WISCONSIN – AARP is now accepting nominations for its 2022
Wisconsin Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors Wisconsinites
aged 50-plus who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the
lives of their community members.
“We’re excited to shine a light on Wisconsinites who are using what they’ve
learned in life to make a difference in the lives around them,” said AARP
Wisconsin State Director Martha Cranley.
Nominations will be evaluated by AARP Wisconsin’s Executive Council based on
how the volunteer’s work has improved the community, reflected AARP’s vision
and mission, and inspired other volunteers. The award recipient will be
announced in early fall.
AARP Wisconsin Andrus Award for Community Service nominees must meet the
following eligibility requirements:
Nominee must be 50 years or older.
The achievements, accomplishments, or service on which the nomination
is based must have been performed on a volunteer basis, without pay.
Volunteers receiving small stipends to cover the costs associated with the
volunteer activity are eligible.
The achievements, accomplishments, or service on which the nomination
is based must reflect AARP’s vision and purpose.
The achievements, accomplishments, or service on which the nomination

considered.
Couples or partners who perform service together are also eligible;
however, teams are not eligible.

This is not a posthumous award.
