Athena Leadership Award® Dinner

Hosted & Sponsored by Wayne Bank and Indiana University East since 2014
Recognizing leaders who motivate, inspire and create positive change in the community.

Wayne Bank and Indiana University East are pleased to announce the 2018 ATHENA Leadership Award® Dinner.

The event honors leaders who motivate, inspire and create positive change in the community, and the ATHENA Leadership Award® will be presented to one of a select group of nominees. New this year is the ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award!

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.
