Young Athena

Since 2007, The Business Forum has been proud to host The ATHENA Young Professional Award Luncheon every November, which actively supports and celebrates the ATHENA mission of supporting, developing and honoring women leaders, inspiring women to achieve their full potential.

The ATHENA Young Professional Award honors emerging leaders between the ages of 25 and 40 who strive toward the highest levels of personal and professional accomplishment, who excel in their chosen field, devote time and energy to their community in a meaningful way, and serve as a role model for young women.

The ATHENA Young Professional Award Luncheon is also an important fundraising event, which directly benefits our scholarship program. The continued success of both the event and our scholarship giving is due to considerable community support and sponsorships.
