ATHENA Leadership Awards recognize outstanding women and allies, pioneering leaders, and organizations.

“The ATHENA Award is a bronze sculpture hand-cast by designer Linda Ackley at her foundry, Third Millennium Fine Arts, in Tampa, Florida. Each is a unique work of art. The marble base represents the recipient’s solid foundation. The cut glass crystal symbolizes the many facets of character and light emanating from the recipient. The outstretched arms suggest both celebration of achievement and the nurturing side of leadership reaching out to others. To date, nearly 8,000 leaders have been recognized with the ATHENA Leadership award in more than 500 regions, representing 48 states and 11 countries, including the USA, Bermuda, UK, China, Canada, Greece, India, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Ghana and Mexico.” — Melody Burri
