ATHENA Leadership Award® Nomination Form.

 

This award reflects a “new” kind of leader and is given annually to nominated individuals who:

  • Have achieved the highest level of professional excellence;
  • Contribute time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community; and
  • Actively assist others, particularly women, in realizing their full leadership potential.

 

We believe that honoring these values benefits our shared professional community. ATHENA, St. Charles is proof that this community is a place where women’s accomplishments and contributions are valued.

 

When organizations and leaders participate in the ATHENA award process, they demonstrate:

  • A value for raising up quality role models for other professionals to follow
  • A commitment to working to create leadership opportunities for women and to support the empowerment of women leaders
  • An appreciation for the networking and collaboration that naturally results as part of ATHENA, St. Charles activities
