Senator William J. Larkin, Jr. (R-C-I, Cornwall-On-Hudson), today honored Ann Marie Maglione, Director of Orange County Office for the Aging and a resident of the Town of Montgomery as a New York State Senate “Woman of Distinction” for her exemplary contributions to her community.
“Ann Marie exemplifies what it means to be a public servant,” said Senator Bill Larkin. “It truly was my honor to have this opportunity to recognize Ann Marie’s service to our seniors and to celebrate her lifetime of accomplishments which have improved the quality of life for all Orange County residents.”
“Being here in Albany to witness our government in action and to be recognized by Senator Larkin has been an experience I will never forget,” said Ann Marie Maglione. “I love my job and I love having the opportunity to serve others. I was very pleased to share this day with my two daughters, Nicole and Danielle. It was important for me to show them that being a strong woman is something that is very much appreciated in today’s society.”
Through Ann Marie’s leadership, the Orange County Office for the Aging saw a $3.5 million centralized kitchen project become a reality. Her office was also able to successfully streamline their senior dining program into a state-of-the-art cook/chill process that currently serves more than 250,000 meals annually. Ann Marie served on the Indian Point response team, planning and implementing programs that helped to improve emergency preparedness for Orange County residents. Ann Marie has also served as a Board Member of RECAP, NYS Workforce Investment Board, Mount Saint Mary College and the NYS Association on Aging.
Past honorees have included leading women from the business, academic and civic communities, as well as those who have exhibited heroic or selfless acts. The Women of Distinction program was created as part of the Senate’s celebration of Women’s History Month. In addition to recognizing present-day women, the Senate hosts a display that honors other distinguished women from New York’s past, from leaders of the 19th century suffrage movement to pioneers in education, science and the arts.
