ATHENA Award
For more than three decades, the Greater Flagstaff Chamber has presented the ATHENA & ATHENA Young Professional Awards to local businesswomen who have achieved excellence in their field, served the community and assisted other women in the attainment of their goals. In 2023, the award was expanded to differentiate the unique challenges and achievements inherent to the public sector and private sector work respectively. The ATHENA awards are presented every February at the Chamber's Annual Meeting luncheon, one of Flagstaff's most highly-anticipated business gatherings.
