This annual event honors the life and work of an older American who models productive aging, well beyond the “age of retirement.” Local dignitaries, government officials, entertainment celebrities and generous JCA® supporters enjoy a special evening each spring, to pay homage to an outstanding senior. The 2010 award went to Phyllis Richman and the 2010 Humanitarian Award was presented to Joanne and Norman Goldstein. To see the advertising sponsors of the 2010 Productive Aging Dinner, click here.
