Karen Smith, BWC Aberdeen business owner, said: “We are a relatively new networking organisation in the Aberdeen business community, who has quickly established itself as a trusted and supportive group of diverse women.
"We have so many wonderfully talented female entrepreneurs and leaders, and I feel very privileged to provide a platform for us to come together at every stage of a career across varying businesses.
"The Athena Awards are a great demonstration of this, and we welcome members as well as non-members of BWC Aberdeen to enter and join us on the day.
"If last year is anything to go by, it’s going to be a very special afternoon. We have so much planned for the future. It’s a very exciting time for our organisation.”
As well as nominations, some sponsorship opportunities are still available in some of the categories.
