Join us for a cocktail reception followed by a sit-down Awards Presentation to honor exceptional leaders and inspire others to achieve excellence in their professional and personal lives in three categories:

The internationally-recognized ATHENA Award® Program was founded in 1982 in Lansing, Michigan by ATHENA International Founder Martha Mertz. More than 8,000 top leaders in over 600 communities have received this prestigious ATHENA Award in nine different countries.
The award actively advocates and celebrates the ATHENA mission of supporting, developing and honoring women leaders, inspiring women to achieve their full potential—creating balance in leadership worldwide. The ATHENA Award honors women who strive toward the highest levels of personal and professional accomplishment, who excel in their chosen field, devote time and energy to their community in a meaningful way, and forge paths of leadership for other women to follow.
