Community members have submitted nominations for the 2010 DeKalb ATHENA Award and Wo/Men of Accomplishment and this year’s elegant recognition event will be this Thursday, November 4th, at 6pm at the Best Western Inn & Suites in DeKalb. The event cost is $25.00 per person and is open to the community.
The ATHENA Award recognizes an individual for business and professional accomplishments, for community service, and for serving as a role model to encourage women to reach their full leadership potential. Both women and men are eligible for the award. ATHENA nominees must live or work in DeKalb and still be active in their careers. The Wo/Men of Accomplishment Award recognizes those who embody the ATHENA criteria but who are retired or no longer working.
