The Ms.
Senior America Pageant is the world's first and foremost
pageant to emphasize and give honor to women who have reached
the "Age of Elegance." It is a search for the gracious lady
who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of
all senior Americans. The Ms. Senior America philosophy is
based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of
America, and our most valuable treasure. It is upon their
knowledge, experience and resources that the younger
generation has the opportunity to build a better
society.
