The Con Hogan Award for Creative, Entrepreneurial, Community Leadership recognizes Con and his life’s work by encouraging and rewarding leaders who share his vision of a Vermont that places the highest value on the public good, and seize the responsibility for making that vision real by using data and measurement, monitoring a plan of action, and making strategic adjustments along the way.

Con Hogan was an important figure in Vermont. Sadly, he passed away in August 2018. From his work in the public, nonprofit, and private for-profit sectors, he exemplified the kind of thinking and leadership that Vermont needs as we address the challenges of a new century. Con’s down-to-earth management approach was always backed by both sophisticated, tested theory and a nuts-and-bolts practicality.

Whether the focus was corrections, child well-being, or health care, Con served his state by working to understand the fundamentals of the situation, finding experts who could educate him about what he didn’t know, setting a vision for what was possible, and getting to work to make that vision reality. Throughout this process, he kept his eye on whether his project was producing the desired results. If it wasn’t, he looked for another way to get the results. Learn more about Con below.
