ATHENAPowerlink® Selection Process

The process is simple!
A woman business owner (WBO) applies to the program by submitting a confidential application to determine eligibility. If the application is accepted, the WBO advances through selection process, which includes an interview, site visit and needs assessment. If selected for the ATHENAPowerLink program, a panel of business advisors will be hand-picked that best match the WBO’s development needs. They may include a banker, lawyer, accountant, personal coach, human resource expert, insurance agent, marketer, or other specialist. Each panel is unique, and tailored to match the challenges and opportunities facing the WBO.

All financial and personal information is kept strictly confidential throughout the entire process.
When a WBO is accepted into the program she can choose to give permission to publicize her participation in the ATHENAPowerLink® program, or remain anonymous.
