Residents of the Dubbo electorate are encouraged to celebrate the positive role seniors play in the community by nominating them for the 2024 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.
Local MP Dugald Saunders said the festival and the awards celebrate the contributions and achievements of seniors.
“If you know a senior who helps make our community diverse, inspiring and active, then I encourage you to nominate them for acknowledgement of their contribution.
“This annual festival is about celebrating the positive impact of older people in our families and society,” Mr Saunders said.
Nominations are now open for the awards program, and winners of the Local Achievement Awards will be announced during the NSW Seniors Festival which runs from 11 – 24 March.
To nominate a senior, visit my office to collect a printed form or send an email and request a digital form.
You can drop the completed form off to the Dubbo electorate office, post it to PO Box 1327, Dubbo NSW 2830 or email it to dubbo@parliament.nsw.gov.au
The awards program is part of an exciting schedule of events across the state.
“By highlighting seniors’ continued efforts in helping the Dubbo electorate thrive, we are continuing to challenge ageism and empower seniors to overcome social stigmas,” Mr Saunders said.
