The Governor's Caregiver Recognition Award symbolically honors the thousands of volunteer caregivers who lovingly care for family and/or friends day-after-day. The award serves to heighten public awareness of the contributions of all caregivers.

Many of today's adults find themselves in what is now called the "Sandwich Generation." They may be full time caregivers to not only their children, but their aging parents, spouses, grandchildren and other loved ones. These caregivers step up to fulfill a needed role in Virginia's long term care system. Their contributions are tremendous.

The Virginia Council on the Status of Women, in partnership with the Secretary of Health and Human Resources and Virginia Department for the Aging, sponsors the annual caregiver award.

Nominations must be postmarked, received via fax, mail or e-mail no later than Monday Feb. 4, 2008. Winners will be honored on Wednesday, April 23 at the 2008 Virginia Conference on Volunteerism and Community Service in Virginia Beach.
