Congratulations to Board Member, Mary DuBuisson, winner of the 2009 Athena Award!


We are so excited to spread the news that our very own Mary DuBuisson was awarded the 2009 Athena Award. It was announced at yesterday's East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce 2nd Wednesday Luncheon.

Sponsored by Charter Business and Relay for Life East St. Tammany, the award honors those individuals who strive towards the highest levels of accomplishment in his or her business, who has served the community in a meaningful way, and has assisted women in reaching their full potential.

Presented annually in countries all over the world, the award is named for a Greek goddess of known for her strength, courage, wisdom and enlightenment. A Michigan businesswoman started the program in 1982, to recognize the accomplishments of women in the community, and to create a balance in leadership roles.

It has gone on to be celebrated in more than 500 communities around the world. The first award in Slidell was given in 1989, and since then the recipients have represented a broad spectrum of the community.

We are so proud of Mary and cannot think of anyone who deserves this honor more.
