Education, Leadership and the Spirit of ATHENA

June 27, 2025 By quadcities Leave a Comment

We look forward to welcoming you!

Education is not just a tool; it is a catalyst that empowers individuals and transforms communities. As we highlight education in the months of July and August, it’s fitting to recognize the incredible achievements of ATHENA women – those who lead with integrity, elevate others and use knowledge as a force for positive change.

The ATHENA Leadership Model, inspired by the Greek goddess of wisdom and courage, celebrates women who excel professionally, give back generously to their communities, and actively mentor others. These principles are at the heart of our Chamber’s mission, where we see the profound impact of education – formal and informal – on personal growth, entrepreneurial success and civic advancement.

In the Prescott area, many ATHENA women are shaping the future through their commitment to lifelong learning and leadership. They are educators inspiring the next generation, business owners innovating in their fields, and community leaders ensuring that knowledge is accessible to all. These women do not merely succeed – they lift others along the way.

At the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, we are proud to support initiatives that provide educational opportunities and celebrate female leaders who embody ATHENA values. Through our partnerships with local schools, colleges and workforce development agencies, we are working to build pathways for students and professionals alike. We also proudly host programs that recognize the achievements of ATHENA women who are paving the way for others.

This season, we encourage our community to reflect on the role education has played in their journey and to celebrate the ATHENA women in their lives. Whether it’s a teacher, mentor, colleague or friend, these leaders are the foundation of a stronger, more inclusive Prescott.

Let us continue to champion educational initiatives that unlock potential and empower all individuals – especially women – to lead with vision, courage and compassion.
