The $15,000 annual award—to be spent however the selected individual chooses—was established in 2015. It intends to recognize Con Hogan's life’s work and commitment by encouraging and rewarding mid-career leaders who share his vision of a better Vermont—one that places the highest value on the public good—and who seize the responsibility for making that vision real by using data and measurement, monitoring a plan of action, and making adjustments along the way.
Monte also served as CEDO director under former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle.
