State Office for the Aging on May 14, 2024

WHEREAS, Each May, the New York State Office for the Aging pauses to
acknowledge the outstanding contributions made by older citizens during
National Older Americans Month; and

WHEREAS, Members of older generations have helped build and shape
our Nation to be the greatest in the world; they have defended our
freedoms and values to ensure that those who come after them may have
better lives; nowhere in the Nation is the legacy of their efforts more
visible and more a part of the lives of all citizens than here in the
State of New York; and

continually displayed the utmost competence, extraordinary intelligence,
and diligent leadership in her unwavering service to her community and,
consequently, has been selected for this most prestigious honor; and

SUNY Oneonta, crafted a deeply purposeful life working as a social
worker across many counties across New York State; she served as a case
manager and counselor for the Health Insurance Information, Counseling
and Assistance Program (HIICAP), which provides free and objective
counseling to older adults on Medicare with various health insurance
related questions; and

WHEREAS, This esteemed honoree also gives of her time to volunteer
during the agency's busy HIICAP season; her valuable and extensive
knowledge and genuine care for clients does not go unrecognized by all
those she serves with, as well as by all those she continues to help;
and

WHEREAS, In her leisure time, beyond her volunteerism, Kathy Miller
enjoys spending time with her family, including with her sons and
grandchildren, as well as traveling whenever possible; and

throughout her life; and

and colleagues through her love and respect for others, and through the
wisdom which comes from many years of living life to the fullest; now,
therefore, be it

recognition by the New York State Office for the Aging on May 14, 2024;
and be it further
