ATHENA Award

ATHENA_Blue1

For more than three decades, the Greater Flagstaff Chamber has presented the ATHENA Award to a local businesswoman who has achieved excellence in her field, served the community and assisted other women in the attainment of their goals. The Young Professional Award was added in 2007, and recognized women who are emerging business leaders and clearly serves as a role model for young women both personally and professionally. The awards are presented every February at the Chamber's Annual Meeting luncheon, one of Flagstaff's most highly-anticipated business gatherings.

2023 ATHENA Awards

With an incredible breadth of nominees from across the Flagstaff region this year it was determined to award two women, one from the public/non-profit sector and one from the private sector.  Congratulations to our 2023 ATHENA® Award recipients Jenny Siess of Westside Veterinary Clinic and Ross Shaefer of Flagstaff Shelter Services and to all of the award nominees!
