Leadership Greater Hartford's Polaris Awards

A Celebration of the individuals who assist citizens living and working in Greater Hartford

Every year, Leadership Greater Hartford recognizes individuals who provide a powerful light and example for others to follow. These Polaris Leaders demonstrate the vision, courage, and innovation in undertaking important community endeavors that produce lasting and meaningful results.

We named this award for the Polaris Star, or North Star, considered to be one of the brightest lights in our sky. Known for guiding pioneers, explorers and travelers on their journeys.

Proceeds from this event allow Leadership Greater Hartford to continue researching and developing new programs and providing tuition assistance to participants of current programs.
