Athena Leadership

Empowerment | Integrity | Philanthropy

Founded in 2011, Athena Leadership is a Manitoba based, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing women in leadership roles. Stemming from characteristics of wisdom, strategy, and heroism embodied by Greek goddess Athena, the organization allows women to cultivate leadership amongst peers and move forward with a common goal. Athena Leadership serves to foster inspiration, ambition, and success through mentorship, developmental opportunities, and community involvement; resulting in a more robust group of women leading our civic and economic endeavours.
