Yesterday, the Indiana County ATHENA Awards were handed out at the annual Emerging Women Leaders Luncheon.
Indiana Borough Manager Nicole Sipos was named the ATHENA Leadership Award recipient. Sipos is the first woman to serve as manager in the history of the borough, and also serves as the chair of the county’s Solid Waste Authority. Outside of work, she is a member of Quota, a longtime coach for women’s basketball and a board member for the Wrestling Boosters.
The ATHENA Young Professional award went to Bree Hyde, vice president and project manager for S&T Bank. She also serves as co-chair of S&T Bank’s Young Professionals Employee Resource Group and chair of the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Organization.
Also awarded was the Spadafora Family Scholarship, which goes to a high school senior who is a member of an Indiana County ATHENA club. This year’s recipient was Sara Shahin, who earned a $5,000 scholarship.
