Annual Dinner and the ATHENA Leadership Awards, is a night to honor women and girls in our community Wayne Bank and Indiana University East are pleased to present the Athena Leadership Award® Dinner. The event honors leaders who motivate, inspire and create positive change in the community, and the Athena Leadership Award® will be presented to one of a select group of nominees. Proceeds benefit l
ocal organizations dedicated to serving leadership building for women and will be announced that evening. Wayne Bank and IU East believe in the values underlying Athena International’s philosophy of incorporating the talent and expertise of women into the leadership of our businesses, our communities and our government. Reflective of a quote attributed to Plato, "What is honored in a country will be cultivated there," the Athena Leadership Award® honors and illuminates the leaders and leadership styles of individuals others would emulate. Athena Leadership Award® recipients are presented a hand-cast, bronzed and crystal sculpture that symbolizes the strength, courage and wisdom of Athena recipients. The Wayne County recipient will be invited to join Athena Leadership Award Recipients and other leaders at the annual Athena International Women’s Leadership Summit held each year. The award’s rich history, international scope and emphasis on mentorship make this award unique and amongst the most prestigious leadership awards one can receive.
