The Annie B. Rose Lifetime Award recognizes an individual citizen who has served seniors for at least ten years. A second award, named in honor of Alexandrian Lois Van Valkenburgh, honors an individual citizen with at least one year of service to seniors. The Excellence in Aging Award for an Organization recognizes an organization that has made an outstanding contribution to Alexandria seniors.
