Vermont Business Magazine Kevin WDonovan, CEO of MtAscutney Hospital and Health Center (MAHHC) was recently selected to join the inaugural class of Arthur Vining Davis Fellows at the 2015 Aspen Ideas Festival. Fellows were selected from a competitive field of national nominees who are emerging leaders with diverse backgrounds and who represent the entrepreneurial spirit, intellectual curiosity and leadership qualities of Mr. Arthur Vining Davis, the longtime CEO of the Alcoa Corporation and supporter of the Festival.

Since 2005, the Aspen Ideas Festival has been the nation’s premier convening of leaders from around the globe and across many disciplines to engage in deep and inquisitive consideration of ideas and issues that shape and challenge the times. And for nearly 65 years, the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations have provided philanthropy across America to higher education; medicine and health care; theological education and religious pluralism; public educational television for children and historical and scientific documentaries for national distribution through PBS and other producers of film.

Through funding provided by the Board of Trustees of the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, Aspen AVDF Fellows will have the opportunity to network with other Festival attendees, including more than 400 thought leaders in science, health, business, politics, religion, technology, the arts, the environment and academia. The Fellows’ presence will enrich the Ideas Festival and their insight will then inform the philanthropic plans and priorities of the Foundations in the coming years.

“It was an honor to have been chosen for this Fellowship, and to share experiences and insights with so many distinguished colleagues in Aspen,” said Donovan. “The field of health care today is alive with creativity and energy, and I left the Festival with fresh ideas for Mt. Ascutney Hospital and for our community.”

Founded in 1933, Mt. Ascutney Hospital is a critical access hospital in Windsor, VT. For more information, please visitwww.mtascutneyhospital.org
