“What is honored in a country will be cultivated there.” - Plato
These words by Plato underscore the philosophy of the ATHENA® Award, a national program that recognizes the accomplishments of local businesswomen in their profession and community. ATHENA® Award nominees are distinguished business leaders who have achieved excellence in their business or profession, served the community in a meaningful way, and assisted women in reaching their full leadership potential.
Since the program’s inception in 1982 more than 5000 awards have been presented in over 500 communities in the United States, Canada, China, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and most recently the United Kingdom. By honoring exceptional leaders, the ATHENA Award® Program seeks to inspire others to achieve excellence in their professional and personal lives.

ATHENA Award Recipients are individuals who:
- Demonstrate excellence, creativity, and initiative in their business or profession.
