The program is currently offered by application to up to 6 professional women who live and/or work in St. Charles County. The Mentoring Program is for women who have the potential and desire to not only develop their leadership skills but to connect with like-minded women executives to ultimately advance St. Charles County’s effectiveness through business and industry. By optimizing professional women, ATHENA leaders prove to be instrumental in building economically healthy, robust, and vibrant communities and families.The focus of the program is transformational leadership. Transformational leaders are positive, inspiring, empower and focus on developing their followers. They are leaders who are valued and enjoy a higher-performing team. The structure of the program includes monthly one-on-one coaching with a mentor from the ATHENA membership or their network and leadership development group mentor/mentee meetings. The group meetings are facilitated by coaches and leadership development materials are provided to all participants.
