As the Women’s Business Conference enters its third decade, we are proud that this has become the premiere women’s business event in the region. We want this to be an event that reverberates all year long. We do this by working hard to foster a sense of celebration, connection, empowerment and engagement – through our programming and speakers, and by recognizing ATHENA® and YPL ATHENA® Award winners who embody these characteristics. This year we’ve captured the spirit of Athena in our theme, “Heroic Endeavors, Everyday Lives.” The Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena was a master strategist with a calm temperament who fought for just reasons and created art with her hands and through her spirit in all that she accomplished. We celebrate the “Athena” in each of you, whether in the board room or the corner cubicle; in the spotlight or behind the scenes; in established companies or brave startups. Your heroic endeavor is what connects you and drives you. It’s what sets you apart and defines you. It’s what calls to you each day, and how you respond throughout life. To be an “Athena” is to be you, every day. Through storytelling, conversations and thoughtful exercises, today’s program will help you reflect on the heroic endeavors in your own lives, and challenge you to identify, define and embark on your personal and professional passages ahead. I’m so glad you are here with us today.
