Nominations open for Rotary Club of Dubois County 2023 ATHENA Award

Dubois Co.- The Rotary Club of Dubois County is accepting nominations for the 11th Annual ATHENA Awards program, which recognizes and celebrates the achievements of female leaders across the Dubois County region.  

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 from now until June 7th, 2023 and the nomination form can be found on the Rotary Club of Dubois County’s website, www.duboiscountyrotary.com, or on the club’s Facebook page. Women who live in work in Dubois County are eligible for nomination.

“I firmly believe that leadership has many forms and I see women lead every day by their actions, words, service, and mentorship,” said Manda Combs, ATHENA Event Chair. “You may be inspired by your mother, sister, co-worker, or friend -why not nominate them so they may be celebrated publicly? We have so many talented female leaders in Dubois County who deserve this recognition.”

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

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

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

· Actively assist women in achieving their full leadership potential

The Rotary Club of Dubois County will proudly host its 11th annual ATHENA Awards Banquet on Wednesday, September 13th at the Huntingburg Events Center where the finalists will be honored and an award recipient will be announced.
