Leadership Ontario knows the power of community-driven leadership. We’re proud to support the Ontario County Chamber of Commerce in celebrating the incredible women shaping our community!

Know a woman who inspires others and creates lasting impact? Don't let her hard work go unnoticed. Check out the details below and nominate her by June 8th!

Leadership that creates impact doesn't happen by chance.
It's found in women who lead with purpose, support and mentor others, strengthen the community around them, and inspire future generations to lead.

These are the qualities that define ATHENA honorees — and the reason the Ontario County ATHENA Leadership Award has celebrated outstanding women leaders for more than four decades.

As we prepare for this year's nominations, think about the women making a difference in your workplace, organization and community.
