Stephanie Bradley Wilson was honored with the ATHENA Award on Wednesday night, March 12, at Monona Terrace as The Business Forum held its largest fundraising event of the year.
The ATHENA Award Celebration honors both women and men who have achieved excellence in their profession or life’s work, devoted time and effort in their communities to improve the quality of life for others, and actively helped women realize their full leadership potential.
