n4a annually identify and showcase our members’ innovative and successful programs to encourage their replication by other agencies. These awards are sponsored by Critical Signal Technologies (CST).

The Program

The Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards Program, launched in 2005, recognizes AAA and Title VI aging programs that exemplify innovation and sound management practices. Member AAAs and Title VI aging programs submit applications in a variety of categories, and representatives from n4a Board of Directors review eligible applications to select the winning programs.

The Aging Achievement Awards highlight outstanding programs in the field, and the Aging Innovations Awards honor the most innovative programs. n4a showcases winning programs at our annual conference and summarizes the programs in a publication about the awards program.
