2022 ATHENA Nominations Set for May 2

Jasper - The deadline to submit a nomination for the Rotary Club of Jasper’s 10th Annual ATHENA Awards Program is quickly approaching. 

This prestigious event recognizes and celebrates the achievements of female leaders across the Dubois County region.

“While it may seem like there is a lot of time between now and the nomination deadline, you should really start the nomination process weeks in advance,” said Julie Dutchess, ATHENA Event Chair. “We have so many amazing female leaders in our community who deserve to be celebrated. Start your nomination today!”

The ATHENA Leadership Award celebrates exemplary leadership and is reflective of a quote by Plato: “What is honored in a country will be cultivated there.” Over 8,000 recipients have been honored globally with the ATHENA Leadership Award since the program’s inception in 1982. Presented to female 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.

Nominations are open until May 2, 2022 and the nomination form can be found on the Rotary Club of Jasper’s website: www.jasperrotary.com or on the club’s Facebook page.

ATHENA Leadership Award Nominees must meet each of the following three criteria:

· Demonstrate excellence, creativity and initiative in their business or profession

· Provide valuable service to improve the quality of life for others in their communities

· Actively assist women in achieving their full leadership potential

The Rotary Club of Jasper will proudly host its 10th annual ATHENA Awards Banquet on Thursday, August 18, 2022 at the Huntingburg Events Center where the finalists will be honored and winner will be announced. This year’s keynote speaker will be Patricia A. Koch, founder of the Santa Claus museum, Chief Elf for Santa Claus and a multi-generational inspiration.
