Press Releases
In an effort to recognize Iowans who are celebrating 100 years or more of life, the Iowa Department on Aging are launching a call for centenarians and are planning Centenarian Recognition this fall.
For the purposes of this program, a centenarian is any older adult who will be 100 or older by Dec. 31, 2018, and whose primary residence is Iowa.
To assist the State of Iowa in recognizing centenarians, the public is encouraged to inform a centenarian, or the person’s family or caregiver, about this call for centenarians and where to access and submit an application. The application is posted on the Iowa Department on Aging’s website at https://www.iowaaging.gov/about/get-involved/honor-centenarian.
Each centenarian will receive a signed certificate from Governor that is suitable for framing and will be invited to attend a Centenarian Recognition event being held this fall.
The deadline for submitting forms to the Iowa Department on Aging is June 30, 2018. Forms may be emailed to janny.miller@iowa.gov or mailed to the Iowa Department on Aging – Centenarian Project, 510 E. 12th St., Ste. 2, Des Moines, IA 50319-9025.
