The 2025 ATHENA Leadership Awards
March 7, 2025
The ATHENA Foundation is dedicated to creating leadership opportunities for women. The prestigious ATHENA Award Programs recognize individuals on local, national, and international levels.

The inspiration for the ATHENA Award Programs originated in Lansing, Michigan in 1980, when Martha Mayhood Mertz, owner of Mayhood/Mertz REALTORS® Inc., was asked to serve on the Board of Directors of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce. Finding herself to be the only working woman serving on the Board, she also discovered that, in the 75 years of presenting community awards, her Chamber had only once honored a woman.

Martha Mertz recognized that, “The world was changing, and the Chamber boardroom did not reflect the reality of the world outside.” The time had come to bring into focus the many outstanding professional and business women in the community and to incorporate them into leadership positions within the Chamber. Through the “voice of business,” they, too, would participate in guiding the present and shaping the future. The first ATHENA Award was presented in 1982.

2025 Nominations are OPEN UNTIL DEC 4!

The ATHENA Leadership Award® is presented to an individual or organization who demonstrates the qualities embodied in the ATHENA Leadership Model and who:

• Has achieved the highest level of professional excellence.
• Contributes time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community.
• Actively assists others, particularly women, in realizing their full leadership potential.

The ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award® was established in 2007 to honor emerging leaders who exemplify the ATHENA Award principles.

The ATHENA Organizational Award® actively supports and celebrates the ATHENA mission of supporting, developing and honoring women leaders, inspiring women to achieve their full potential—creating balance in leadership worldwide.

Those who are nominated will be contacted and then must complete the corresponding application below by DEC 13.
