Athena's Seat at the Table Initiative is a transformative global platform designed to bridge the connection gap for women in STEM. Rooted in Athena’s mission to advance one million women leading in STEM by 2030, this initiative creates intentional spaces for visibility, advocacy, and leadership development.

 

Through monthly virtual forums, women in STEM from around the world gather around the virtual table to share their achievements, challenges, and aspirations. Each session fosters cross-regional connections, offering participants a unique opportunity to expand their networks, elevate their profiles, and access a new community. The initiative ensures that every voice is heard, with curated introductions and peer-led nominations that spotlight diverse experiences and perspectives.

 

Participants are encouraged to forge meaningful relationships beyond the forum, building a global network that supports their professional journeys. By empowering women to advocate for themselves and for one another, A Seat at the Table Initiative is driving systemic change in STEM leadership, ensuring that no woman is left behind.
