What our members say

Athena, in their own words.

Athena opened doors and created the network trust I needed to access opportunities that otherwise would have remained hidden, and then encouraged, sometimes pushed when required, and supported me to go after them with the knowledge and mentorship of the broader Athena community.

— Member, CEO + Board Directoron the Athena network

I loved the real world stories shared by the faculty. I feel very grateful to hear from these immensely qualified and exceptional leaders and board members. They are dispelling a lot of myths, illuminating the role and responsibility, as well as giving me a great deal to think about as I step into board roles of my own.

— Member, Founder + Board Directoron the Modern Boardroom course

Athena has given me an incredibly high-quality peer group to network with and learn from — people who truly care about supporting each other, with the wisdom and experience to add value.

— Member, SVP + Board Directoron the Peer Groups

Great connections and conversations. The perfect prompts that led us to find common ground quickly.

— Member, Chief People Officeron the Member Mixers

Athena's Virtual Salons provide invaluable information you won't find in any book. Suddenly topics I needed to know — but didn't know I needed to know — are being discussed.

— Member, CEO + Board Directoron the weekly Salons

I attended my first Athena Alliance Summit in New York and had the opportunity to connect with an inspiring group of women founders, executives, and investors. Having a safe space for real, powerful conversations is what will stay with me most.
