Athena and The Daily Transcript join in recognizing the executives, educators and companies committed to fostering the growth of women in the technology sector. This supplement serves as the official program guide for the annual Athena Pinnacle Awards celebration held April 28.
UCSD Athena is proud of its first scholarship winner, Erin Scott (1999 winner), who graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in molecular and cell biology, with an emphasis in genetics.
This year's Pinnacle Awards theme is titled "Follow Your Dreams." It is quite an appropriate theme, for the goal of Athena is to support San Diego's women executives in technology and business, helping them to follow their career dreams, exceed their goals and achieve success. At this year's awards celebration, five outstanding and accomplished young women graduating from San Diego high schools will receive college scholarships from Athena to help them reach their dreams. We have confidence in these young women that their scientific discoveries, technology advancements or medical breakthroughs will, in a positive and dramatic way, impact the quality of our lives and communities. In addition, Athena will recognize San Diego business leaders and a teacher who has embraced the Athena vision and mission in their daily lives by mentoring and supporting women to achieve their dreams, and be successful.
Athena is the organization for executive women in the San Diego technology and business communities. It creates a unique set of educational and motivational programs, professional and social networking opportunities, to foster the personal and professional growth of its members. However, it is the members of Athena that make it so special. We would like to recognize those members who have contributed to the vitality and essence of what Athena is today. These members have been a part of Athena's phenomenal growth to over 500 members in just more than five years.
Our first graduate!
This spring, Kathy Hedges, Deirdre Stewart and Christie Vail look forward to honoring outstanding women with the Athena Pinnacle Awards. As co-chairs of the Pinnacle Steering Committee, these three women have a key role in supporting and directing the Athena vision. They are part of a growing tradition of women in San Diego seeking to expand opportunities, promote diversity, and inspire the next generation of women.
Athena President: Sue Ebner, Marsh
