Please attend the ATHENA International Women's Regional Leadership Summit on Sept. 15th at Disney's Boardwalk. We're excited about welcoming Martha Mertz, the founder of ATHENA International, to serve as the keynote speaker. Martha is the author of Becoming ATHENA: Eight Principles of Enlightened Leadership. She offers a distinctive, transforming approach for leading in the 21st century. With survey research and real-life stories, she demonstrates how time-tested "women's ways" of leading have become the gold standard for great leaders of both genders, and the building blocks for success in today's global economy. She will be followed by two panel discussions featuring women of influence such as Karen Dee, Florida Regional CEO and President of Fifth Third Bank, and successful women entrepreneurs who have graduated from the ATHENAPowerLink program throughout the country

The event is open to business leaders, entrepreneurs, and women who are interested in volunteering for the ATHENAPowerLink mentoring program. The e-vite is below. I hope you can join us!
