2026-2027 Athena Leadership Members
Athena Leadership members are career-driven women and gender diverse individuals (entrepreneurs and professionals) who are actively involved in their community. Members formally gather for ten events through the year which are a mixture of discussion nights and mentor nights.
Athena maintains strong networking and close-knit relationships in its membership, and fosters collaborative, trusting environments where members can learn from candid mentor talks, and also grow amongst interactive peer collaboration. Athena members maintain a high attendance record to facilitate candid discussions.
