Description

Celebrate with us as we honor 11 outstanding businesswomen at the 38th Annual Greater Phoenix Chamber’s ATHENA Awards Luncheon. View ATHENA nominees here.

The ATHENA Awards, an internationally prized honor, recognize the achievement of businesswomen across the Greater Phoenix region.

Over the past 37 years, 71 accomplished and compassionate Valley businesswomen have earned the title of ATHENA. Their contributions to our business community are immeasurable and help propel Phoenix forward.

ATHENAs are challenged across industries to continue their dedication to leading, serving, and mentoring. The award highlights three women every year who are at the top of their field and who invest in their careers, their community, and especially other women. ATHENAs demonstrate inspiring leadership within their industry, mentor women throughout their career, and dedicate themselves to the community.
