Athena Leadership Award® Dinner
This event honors leaders who motivate, inspire and create positive change in the community. This year, three awards will be presented:
- ATHENA Leadership Award®
- ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award
- ATHENA Organizational Leadership Award (NEW this year!)
Proceeds benefit local organizations dedicated to serving leadership building for women of all ages. Event proceeds will equally benefit the Women’s Fund of Wayne County and Girls, Inc.
Wayne Bank and IU East believe in the values underlying Athena International’s philosophy of incorporating the talent and expertise of women into the leadership of our businesses, our communities and our government. Reflective of a quote attributed to Plato, "What is honored in a country will be cultivated there," the ATHENA Leadership Award® honors and illuminates the leaders and leadership styles of individuals others would emulate.
