Named for ACHE's executive director from 1942 to 1965, the Dean Conley Award was established in 1958 and is granted annually by ACHE to recognize contributions to healthcare management literature and to encourage healthcare executives to write and publish articles. Nominations for the award are solicited from editors of healthcare and management-oriented magazines and journals. Award winners are selected by ACHE's Article of the Year Awards Committee.

The 2011 winners have been selected: Anthony A. Armada, FACHE, and Marilyn French Hubbard, PhD, for their article “Diversity in Healthcare: Time to Get REAL!” published in the Spring 2010 issue of Frontiers of Health Services Management.
