Celebrating 2020 ATHENA nominee Kory Wells
Join us in celebrating our Athena award nominee Kory Wells, who was recognized at the 2020 ATHENA International Leadership Award® Program organized locally by Rutherford CABLE on Wednesday, September 16.
ATHENA recognizes and honors outstanding business and professional individuals for excellence in their chosen fields, for providing valuable service to their community and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional goals and leadership skills.
This year’s celebration, originally scheduled for April, was presented as a hybrid live/virtual event; Kory attended virtually.
