The Anchorage ATHENA Society is a program of the Anchorage Chamber that works year round to encourage the potential of all women as valued members and leaders of the business community. Most recently, the Anchorage ATHENA Society has reorganized and a number of committees were formed to work on the luncheon, raise money for scholarships as well as explore other activities which will give its members the opportunity to create leadership initiatives, link resources and establish local mentoring and scholarship programs.
The Anchorage ATHENA Society offers camp scholarships to local young women residing in Anchorage, who have finished their freshman year of high school through 18 years of age, for an opportunity to learn leadership skills, to learn about innovation, start-ups, entrepreneurship and gain business expertise.
ATHENA Scholarship Application
The ATHENA Society now approaches 325 members, representing a diverse group of professionals with new inductees each year. The first award was given to Dr. Joyce Murphy in 1988 and then in 1995 it was presented to Eleanor Andrews, the Founer of the Anchorage ATHENA Society. That year she traveled to the National ATHENA Conference which inspired her to start the local group. For more info, visit athenaanchorage.org.
