Wagoner will accept the annual award along with the Athena Award winner May 12 at the 15th annual Athena Award presentation luncheon at the Hilton Garden Inn at Southpointe.

Each year, the event attracts hundreds of business leaders to recognize the role of women in Washington County’s economic, social and civic development. It is presented by Washington Financial Bank, an initiative of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce.

According to Jeff Kotula, president of the chamber, the Athena Award is an internationally recognized award that honors women’s leadership within the business and civic communities.

“The award promotes women’s leadership by honoring exceptional individuals in the community who contribute in significant ways to the achievements of women and women’s leadership issues,” Kotula said. “As our 2017 finalists demonstrate, we are very fortunate that Washington County’s businesswomen have taken leadership roles in both our civic and business communities.”
