A Brief History
Recognising the need for sound leadership and the impact this has on community outcomes, Kevin Hardy and Jean Fagan embarked on a journey. Their vision was simple, to find and grow great leaders. To date, HG has placed over 4,000 Health & Human Service leaders and played a key role in the professional development of over 5,000 executives. Here’s a brief history on how we got to this point.
