Your Athena profile plays a critical role in connecting you to opportunities, content, and the Athena community. Athena members search for each other based on keywords, industry, role, and more. Completing your profile ensures you can be discovered by other members. But it also ensures that Athena can discover you for career opportunities like board seats, exclusive events, networking opportunities with other members, and so much more.

To easily access and edit your profile, go to the 'Community' tab located on the top bar of your screen or click here.

When you access your profile, you will see several attributes that require your input. Keep an eye out for a small icon resembling an eye next to each attribute. This icon indicates who can see the information you provide. Below are the descriptions of the three visibility options:

The Profile section helps us understand what you’re all about. This is the area that is most important when it comes to mapping you to opportunities, to each other, and to events and targeted learning content - the information entered here factors into your opportunity match percentages based on how the opportunities have been tagged, is used in the search filters in the member directory, and informs the 'Recommended For You' section of our Library.

The Goals section is private. Only you and the Athena team can view your answers. This area is also essential for us to recommend the right opportunities, connections, and learning content for you.

The Account is where you can update your account information: email address, password, and billing details.

It is important to keep your profile information up-to-date because it's what we use to customize and enhance your experience. If your organization, title, or skills change, please update all relevant information immediately. We recommend auditing your profile at least every 3 months to ensure we are continually connecting you with the right resources and opportunities.

💡Pro tip: Every field you fill in on your profile will increase your Profile Completion percentage. We understand you may not be able to fill out every profile field, and we consider a profile completion percentage of 80% or above to be very good! Your Profile Completion percentage is only visible to the Athena team.

If you’re experiencing formatting issues with your profile, this is likely due to copying and pasting information from documents with formatting that isn’t compatible with your Athena profile. For example, if you copy the information from a resume with bullet points and paste it into your profile, this will cause formatting issues. The same thing often happens if you copy from a webpage and then paste it into a Word doc - the formatting looks off.

To resolve this, first copy/paste as plain text into a Word doc to remove any HTML/formatting, and then copy again and paste into your profile.

All member profiles require logged-in access to www.athenaalliance.com in order to view. Your profile is not visible to external search engines and will only appear to other Athena members and staff within the site’s Find & Connect Directory.

If you are having trouble updating your profile, please contact us via the chat box in the lower right-hand corner of your screen or reach out to [email protected].
