Past Award Recipients Barbara McNees Scholarship Host Committee
On behalf of the Pittsburgh Technology Council and the ATHENA Host Committee, we are excited to announce and congratulate the following recipients for the 2025 ATHENA Awards Program of Greater Pittsburgh:
2025 ATHENA Award: Beth Bershok – Chief Marketing Officer, Louis Plung & Company
2025 ATHENA Young Professional Award: Madeline Adamczyk – Senior Marketing Strategist, Schneider Downs
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 its annual luncheon: the traditional ATHENA Award—which since 1990 has celebrated women who demonstrate excellence in their profession, contribute to their community, and mentor other women—and 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 to thrive.
