News : Wallace & Beverly Winkie Foundation: Lifelong Learner Hall of Fame

Iowans can jump on the chance to honor their mentors or role models by nominating them for the Lifelong Learner Hall of Fame by September 19, 2023. All Iowans, past and present, of all ages, who have created a lasting impact on lifelong learning are eligible for nomination-as are Iowa organizations-and anyone can submit a nomination.

The Lifelong Learner Hall of Fame was established to celebrate Iowans who have contributed to making Iowa a stronghold of lifelong learning and to help promote lifelong learning through recognizing, documenting, and sharing their accomplishments.

Past inductees in the Lifelong Learner Hall of Fame include State Representative Ruth Ann Gaines, Ambassador Mary Kramer (ret.), Rowena Crosby, Jacquie McTaggart, Kathy Good, Nancylee Siebemann, Martha Quint, Terry Hernandez, Betty Andrews, Iowa Public Television, Tim Charles, Izaah Knox, and Jacquie Easely McGhee.

The Lifelong Learner Hall of Fame is sponsored by the Wallace and Beverly Winkie Foundation. For more information or to submit a nomination, visit parkitvirtualmuseum.com or the Facebook event page (www.facebook.com/LifelongLearnerHallofFame). A $500 donation to the charitable organization of the inductee's choice accompanies the award.
