Women who hold leadership positions in the Central Florida community know that networking and the development of mentor/mentee relationships are crucial to success and career advancement. Ready to share their best practices and provide guidance for those who may one day fill their shoes, these women leaders will gather for the second annual ATHENA International Women’s Leadership Luncheon, featuring honorary chair, Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs. The event, which will take place Wednesday, November 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Ballroom at Church Street in Orlando, will unite Central Florida’s established and emerging women leaders to emphasize the importance of mentoring and foster successful future leadership.
“As women leaders, it’s truly our obligation to support one another and pass the baton to the next generation. It is through this forum of collaboration, listening and learning, that younger, emerging leaders will come away equipped with a new perspective and meaningful relationships,” states Karen Keene, member of the ATHENA International Board of Directors and co-founder of the ATHENA International Women’s Leadership Luncheon in Orlando.
To promote dialogue between established leaders and their emerging counterparts, the event will incorporate roundtable discussions addressing ATHENA International’s eight leadership principles: Live Authentically, Learn Constantly, Advocate Fiercely, Act Courageously, Foster Collaboration, Build Relationships, Give Back and Celebrate. Table discussions will be lead by Host Committee members, women who have been recognized as outstanding role models in the Central Florida community.
The event will also recognize exemplary leadership by presenting the Orlando ATHENA Leadership Award to one outstanding Central Florida woman leader who has attained and embodies the highest level of professional excellence in her business or profession.
