Interested ATHENA Leadership Award and ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award nominees can attend the application workshop as an opportunity to review your application with past ATHENA Leadership Award recipient and EWLC alum, Debby Ballard, as well as current EWLC members, prior to submission. Please come with any questions you have regarding the application. As a best practice, we recommend you also come with a hard-copy or digital-copy of your completed application.

The ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award is an extension of the ATHENA Leadership Award presented annually by the KC Chamber.
