What are Athena Goals?
Athena Goals are designed to help us understand how we can better support you in your Athena journey.
Upon setting up your profile, you will be prompted to answer a variety of questions that will help us understand how we can better support you. You will be asked to select your career/learning goals and barriers/obstacles you are encountering that are prohibiting from reaching your goals. You can edit this information at any time during your membership. To edit your goals/barriers, go to your Athena Profile > Edit Profile > Background & Experience > Goals. Make sure you select save changes once you are done.
What does Athena do after I've selected my goals?
Once you have selected your goals, they will remain private to the community, but will be used by the Athena team to offer you tailored resources that will help you in your journey.
We will use these goals to:
Offer salon recommendations
Send targeted emails that contain new and relevant information for you
Send you notices about upcoming salons, peer groups and learning circules that you may be interested in

Help identify networking opportunities
