Lori Hogan co-founder of Home Instead Inspires women!

Home Instead Co-Founder Lori Hogan inspires women
Women attending an annual conference for women business professionals in Omaha listed Lori Hogan among their most-admired female leaders in the community.
More than 1,800 women attended the ICAN 2011 Women’s Leadership Conference on April 7th at the Qwest Center Omaha. (ICAN stands for Institute for Career Advancement Needs.) Lori was one of the women attendees named, when asked to identify female leaders in the community they most admired. Others also listed included CEOs, a Nebraska Senator and an executive director of a non-profit organization. When attendees were asked what characteristics they admire most in a leader, they ranked the top five in the following order: inspirational, supportive, authentic, intelligent and flexible.
At last year’s ICAN conference, Lori on behalf of Home Instead, Inc. accepted the Best Places to Work for the Advancement of Women Award, which is given by Omaha’s Baird Holm, LLP and ICAN. The award recognizes companies that support and develop women in leadership roles and is based on a survey measuring employee engagement and perception of advancement opportunities.
The recognition at both last year’s and this year’s ICAN conference shows Lori’s enduring influence as a thought leader and an inspiration in the Omaha community. Congratulations, Lori!
