AARP Louisiana is now accepting nominations for its 2020 Andrus Award for Community Service, which honors 50-plus Louisianans who are sharing their experience, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of their community members.

Nominations are due by Tuesday, Sept. 15. You can submit your online nomination HERE. The winner will receive $500 to benefit a non-profit of his or her choosing.

Nominations will be evaluated based on how the volunteer’s work has improved the community, supported AARP’s vision and mission, and inspired other volunteers. The nominee does not have to be an AARP member.

“AARP Louisiana is excited to shine a light on 50+ Louisianans who are using what they’ve learned in life to make a difference in the lives around them,” said Bobby Savoie, AARP Louisiana State President.
