About The Advisory Panel

The Advisory Panel may be composed of professionals in banking, finance, accounting, law, marketing, IT or human resources. They offer guidance on critical subjects such as networking skills, achieving access to capital, implementing best practices and others—virtually any issue identified by a woman business owner as necessary to reach the goals she has for her business.

Panel Advisor for ATHENAPowerLink®

As a Panel Advisor for the ATHENAPowerLink® Program you will advise women business owners as they define and achieve their tangible goals. You will provide guidance and support in your area of expertise, such as finance, accounting, marketing, business strategy, business model refinement, and networking. Your time commitment as a Panel Advisor is estimated to be six (6) 2-hour meetings over a calendar year.

Panel Coordinator for ATHENAPowerLink®

The Panel Coordinator is the link between the Woman Business Owner (WBO), Panel Advisors, the ATHENA of the Triangle Executive Director, and the ATHENA of the Triangle Board. The top pre-requisite for a coordinator is to be detail-oriented with a strong understanding of small businesses. The Panel Coordinator is  responsible for the agenda, running the meetings, preparing minutes for the introductory meeting, and the first quarterly meeting. As the year progresses, the WBO will assume more of that responsibility, as she and the Panel-Coordinator feel appropriate.
