Athena Trains Future Leaders in Mexico City

placeholder

On May 25th, the Athena Center co-sponsored the G(irls)20 Summit in Mexico City. The G(irls)20 Summit brings together one girl, aged 18-20, from each G20 country and the African Union, two weeks before the G20 leaders meeting to look at their agenda and develop a blueprint on how the G20 leaders can utilize and engage one of the best resources in the world – girls and women.

The Center’s Erin Vilardi attended the conference and provided leadership training to these accomplished young women. The intensive workshop, using a case study of women's participation in the Egyptian revolution and new media strategies for advocacy and activism, left the girls inspired and engaged. The final communique to the G20 Leaders, developed by the girls can be found here.

placeholder

On Saturday, June 9, 2012, the Athena Center held a professional development program -- Getting Your Financial House in Order -- a full-day financial fluency workshop on Barnard’s campus. Taught by Caroline Ceniza-Levine, Rhonda Gelb, and Galia Gichon, the workshop trained 15 adult women from across New York, providing detailed advice and practical tips on how to negotiate salaries, day-to-day finances, and retirement planning. As one participant shared, "I found it really useful . . . and actually walked away with several things I can put into place (one of which I did yesterday!)."

On the evening of June 12th, in partnership with the Urban Girls Squad, the Athena Center provided The Language of Power & Persuasion in the Workplace, a workshop on communications for 30 women from across the city.  In this interactive session, trainer and coach Raleigh Mayer, helped women learn how to use precise and powerful language to deliver a compelling message, organize content and deliver engaging presentations.
