A special panel of business and community leaders selects the ATHENA Award finalists from nominations submitted by the Colorado business community.

“I am extremely honored to be nominated for this award,” said Dr. Shelton. “The group of women who are finalists represents the best in Denver and I am proud to be included with them.”
