The ATHENA Awards Program of Greater Pittsburgh distinguishes itself from other regional awards through its emphasis on women mentoring other women and girls. Two recognitions are presented at this annual luncheon:

the traditional ATHENA Award that, since 1990, has celebrated women who demonstrate excellence in their profession, contribute to their community, and mentor other women and girls
the ATHENA Young Professional Award, created in 2011 to highlight a woman age 35 or younger who dedicates her time and talent to helping other women and girls thrive

Each recipient receives a handcrafted sculpture representing the Greek goddess Athena, known for her courage guided by wisdom. The ATHENA Awards event in Pittsburgh is one of the largest annual gatherings among the hundreds of ATHENA International events presented around the world!
