Public Assets Institute This will be the eighth annual award, a tribute to Con’s life’s work and commitment to public service. The goal of the award is to encourage and reward leaders who share his vision of a better Vermont—one that places the highest value on the public good—who seize the responsibility for making that vision real, and who mentor emerging leaders.
The 2022 winner will have demonstrated the following characteristics: focus on results, using data and measurement to mobilize action, working with people across diverse perspectives, taking risks in pursuit of the vision, and persisting
through setbacks. The $15,000 cash prize provides a unique opportunity for the recipient to nurture and further their own leadership capacity. It may be spent however the awardee chooses. The awardee must be a Vermont resident who has not yet received the prize and must be nominated by another individual.
Nominations will be accepted online by the Vermont Community Foundation until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 27, 2022.
