2026 Senior of the Year Letter and Nomination Form
Dear Friends,
Each year, Ulster County recognizes two (2) individuals as Seniors of the Year for their enduring commitment to Ulster County in their important and vital roles as volunteers.
We ask that you consider nominating individuals who have made a commitment to excellence in our community and submit their names for the 2026 nominations for “Senior of the Year.” Selected seniors, two (2) from every county across the entire State of New York, will be honored as part of the annual Older New Yorkers’ Day on May 26, 2026, at The Crowne Plaza Hotel - Desmond in Albany. The celebration includes a luncheon to recognize the seniors of the year and inclusion in the printed book of biographies.
Please consider nominating a notable senior in your life that has demonstrated a long-term commitment to Ulster County. Please use the attached nomination form. If you have any questions, you may contact our office at (845) 340-3456.
All nominations must be received by February 27, 2026.
Sincerely,
Susan C. Koppenhaver Director
