It captures the spirit and collaborative leadership style often exemplified in women leaders, while also recognizing the importance of traits such as courageous acts and fierce advocacy in the pursuit of excellence. The ATHENA Leadership Model tenets include Authentic Self, Celebration and Joy, Collaboration, Courageous Acts, Fierce Advocacy, Giving Back, Learning and Relationships, and provide a model for 21st Century leadership.

The ATHENA Award is represented by an original bronze and marble sculpture inspired by the goddess of Greek mythology known for her strength, courage, wisdom and enlightenment - qualities embodied in the ATHENA leadership model. The Award is unique in both scope - local, national and international - and the ATHENA mission upon which it is based. The ATHENA Award is presented to a woman  - or man - who is honored for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills.
