Experience Works searches for Indiana's outstanding older worker
Comet staff report

Experience Works, the nation's largest training and employment organization for mature workers, is searching for Indiana's outstanding older worker. Experience Works Prime Time Awards program is part of Experience Works' national effort to raise awareness of the contributions made by older individuals and to break down barriers associated with the hiring of all older workers. Outstanding older workers from every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico will be honored in Washington, D.C., and in their home states for their contributions to the workforce and local communities.

Nominees or applicants must be 65 years of age or older, a resident of Indiana, currently employed, and working at least 20 hours each week for pay. The honoree must be willing and able to travel to Washington, D.C., the week of Sept. 22-26 for the Prime Time Award events.

The visit will include meetings with congressional representatives, a tour of the city's landmarks, and the awards banquet and ceremony. Honorees have an opportunity to meet, share their stories, and celebrate their accomplishments.

Family, friends or colleagues can send in a nomination, or older workers can self nominate. An online nomination form or a printed nomination form can be accessed at www.experienceworks.org. The deadline for nominations is June 1.
