ATHENA International is a global nonprofit based in Lansing, Michigan, focused on advancing conscious leadership that improves outcomes for individuals, organizations, and communities. Its work rests on the ATHENA Eight Principles of Enlightened Leadership, a values-based framework that calls for living authentically, learning continually, building relationships, fostering collaboration, acting courageously, advocating fiercely, giving back, and celebrating progress. Through leadership development programs, community initiatives, awards, and international partnerships, the organization seeks to empower leaders across genders, ages, and backgrounds to lead with integrity and care, especially amid complexity and change.

ATHENA International is best known for the ATHENA Leadership Award, which recognizes excellence in professional achievement, service to the community, and mentoring future leaders. It emphasizes leadership as relational and ethical rather than tied to formal position, and it offers immersive learning experiences that integrate self-awareness, systems thinking, trauma-informed practice, and evidence-based tools to support human-centered leadership. While its work has a global scope, the organization maintains a base in Lansing and collaborates with partners and chapters worldwide; recent activity includes ongoing partnerships with local chambers, such as a ninth-year collaboration with the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce.
