INDIANA – Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith announced today that nominations are open for the 2025 Golden Hoosier Award, the state’s highest honor recognizing senior citizens for their lifetime of service to their communities. The deadline to submit nominations is August 10, 2025.
“The Golden Hoosier Award celebrates the quiet heroes among us – those who have spent decades giving back, lifting others up, and strengthening our communities,” Lieutenant Governor Beckwith said. “I encourage Hoosiers across the state to nominate someone whose selfless service deserves to be honored.”
Presented in partnership with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, the award is open to current Indiana residents aged 65 and older who have volunteered in their communities for three years or more.
The nomination form can be found at www.in.gov/lg/lt-governor-initiatives/golden-hoosier-award/ on the Lieutenant Governor’s website. Once completed, forms should be emailed to GoldenHoosiers@fssa.IN.gov.
It should include the nominator’s contact information, the nominee’s details, and a summary describing the nominee’s service and impact.
Award recipients will be honored at a special ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse in September 2025.
