The ATHENA Leadership Award celebrates exemplary leadership and is reflective of a quote by Plato: "What is honored in a country will be cultirated there. Over 7,000 Recipients have been honored with the ATHENA Leadership Award since the program's inception in 1982." Presented to leaders across professional sectors, the ATHENA Leadership Award's rich history, international scope, and focus on mentorship distinguish it as one of the most prestigious leadership awards one can receive.
