| The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, UNC Health Pardee, Optimum, and Hunter Automotive are pleased to announce the 17th Annual ATHENA Leadership Award in Henderson County in memory of Vanessa Y. Mintz. Nominations are now being accepted for the ATHENA Leadership Award, which will be presented at the Professional Women’s Luncheon in April to an exemplary leader who has achieved excellence in their business or profession, served the community in a meaningful way, and, most importantly, actively assisted women to achieve their full leadership potential.
Vanessa Y. Mintz brought the ATHENA award to Henderson County in 2008 and she embodied the values underlying ATHENA International’s philosophy of incorporating the talent and expertise of women into the leadership of our businesses, our communities, and our government. Reflective of a quote attributed to Plato, “What is honored in a country will be cultivated there”, the ATHENA Leadership Award honors and illuminates the leaders and leadership styles of individuals others would emulate.
The program is facilitated locally by the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, a licensed ATHENA host organization. Nominations are sought throughout the community. Recipients are selected by a diverse group of out-of-town professional judges, based on Athena leadership criteria.
ATHENA Leadership Award Recipients hail from all professional sectors. The award’s rich history, international scope, and emphasis on mentorship make this award unique and amongst the most prestigious leadership awards one can receive. Past Henderson County ATHENA Recipients Include: |

Last year Vision held the 1st Annual Henderson County Leadership Conference. This year the Henderson County Vision Leadership Program is again offering a “no charge” event to support local leadership skills in our community!
This Annual Conference will refresh you and your organization through providing fresh leadership insights, skills and qualities to proactively successfully move into 2024. The conference will challenge and inspire you to become a better leader and strengthen your leadership teams through the conference keynote and breakouts. Leadership becomes even more important when there is uncertainty in the economy, rising prices, employee recruitment challenges, and supply chain issues.
This half day conference starts with a keynote panel of county leaders in the for profit, not for profit and government sectors that will share 2023 lessons learned and proactive ideas for moving into 2024.
The conference provides an opportunity to learn, share, connect, and have fun with like-minded leaders in Henderson County to help make better business decisions, increase operational efficiency, and build stronger teams. The end result is continuing to support Henderson County as a great place to live, work and play.
New: This year we have a new option, organizations can request a table for 5-6 people for leadership continued education.
– PARTIALLY SEATED SHOW
– GA SEATING IN FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.
THE MOTH
resumes their recurring monthly Asheville StorySLAM at The Grey Eagle at 7:30pm! This month’s theme is….
GIVE AND TAKE: Prepare a five minute story about the push and pull, an eye for an eye, a quid pro quo. The art of compromise-or lack thereof. Finding balance or disrupting the system. A tit for tat, giving in, or seizing the crown for yourself. What do you bring to the table?
