The Council on Aging believes that aging should be celebrated and embraced and that older adults have a lifetime of wisdom and experience to offer communities. The Sage Awards is one way that they hope to change the conversation about what it means to be part of the emerging – and vital – senior generation. The Sage Awards presented each year since 1991, are given to mature adults who have made outstanding contributions to Middle Tennessee through a lifelong commitment of working to improve the quality of life in their communities.
