Neill Hogg Award for Excellence
The Neill Hogg Award for Excellence serves to promote and celebrates the outstanding work being undertaken and delivered by individuals and teams working in the public sector using Infor products and services.
Recognition is given each year at the Infor Public Sector User Forum Conference with the awarding of one award to an individual or team.
Nominations close Sunday 28 July 2024.
Winner will receive $5,000 towards Infor Consulting.
This award honours the memory of Neill Hogg, Senior Business Consultant at Infor who sadly passed away from cancer in 2017. For many customers, Neill was the face of Pathway that they first met when he “demo’d” the product and then continued to be supported by Neill through his involvement with Special Interest Groups, the User Forum and direct consultancy. Neill had a passion for his role, professionalism, commitment and unwavering support for the Infor Public Sector Products. This award is a true reflection of the characteristics that Neill displayed and recognises the service he provided.
