Easter Seals South Florida invites the community to submit nominees for its Second Annual Edith Lederberg Senior Advocate Award, which honors individuals who have made significant contributions to policies, programs and services for older adults in South Florida.

The award is named for Edith Lederberg, chief operating officer of the Aging and Disability Resources Center, who was its inaugural recipient in 2011.  Each year, the award is presented to a local resident who serves as an example by giving time, energy, passion and expertise toward making a difference in the South Florida seniors’ quality of life.

All nominations must be submitted by October 14.  The 2012 Edith Lederberg Award will be presented on November 14 at a commemoration of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, featuring a butterfly release.

To submit nominations and receive more information about the Edith Lederberg Senior Advocate Award and the Easter Seals Alzheimer’s Awareness Month commemoration, visit http://southflorida.easterseals.com, or contact Martha Castilleja at 954-450-6855.
