AgeSpan Recognized for Excellence by 2026 National Mature Media Awards

 

AgeSpan is gaining national recognition for excellence in communications aimed at older adults. AgeSpan took home two top honors in the 2026 National Mature Media Awards, which are presented by the Mature Market Resource Center.

AgeSpan’s Impact Report: AgeSpan in Action earned a Bronze Award in the Annual Reports category. In the Miscellaneous Marketing/Communications category, the AgeSpan 2025 Inspiring Lifelong Learning Honoree video, produced in partnership with Markins Media, was presented with a Silver Award. With powerful stories and imagery and easy-to-understand information, the Impact Report tells the story of how AgeSpan delivered on its mission in 2025. The Inspiring Lifelong Learning Honoree video features interviews with five older adults from the Merrimack Valley and North Shore whose passion for learning serves as an example for us all.

“It’s an honor to be recognized with these awards,” said AgeSpan CEO Joan Hatem-Roy. “We share this recognition with all of the older adults who shared their stories with us – as well as the staff, volunteers, board and advisory council members, community partners, and generous donors who have contributed to our impact.”

The Mature Market Resource Center is the nation’s largest program recognizing excellence in marketing and educational materials for adults age 50 and older. The National Mature Media Awards draw hundreds of entries from leading local, state, and national organizations each year. Winners are selected by a panel of mature market experts who evaluate entries on content, creativity, format, relevance, and overall excellence.
