Are you a woman entrepreneur ready to start your own business, wanting the reassurance of a proven system? Becoming an Athena Franchisee / Regional Director gives you a tested path to success, combining leadership, business growth, and community impact.
All within a supportive network of ambitious women.
Being a Franchisee / Regional Director with Athena isn’t just about business. It’s about creating opportunities where women can thrive confidently.
The Athena Story: From Vision to a Movement Empowering Women
In 2005, Jacqueline Rogers, Founder of The Athena Network, left a successful corporate career. She was seeking a networking community to support her new coaching and training business.
When she couldn’t find the right fit, she decided to create it herself.
“When I founded The Athena Network over 20 years ago, my vision was never simply about ‘networking.’ It was about creating commercially intelligent communities where women could build wealth through connection – intentionally, ethically, and sustainably.”
~ Jacqueline Rogers, Founder & Creator of The Athena Network
Within a year, Athena had 27 groups across the Home Counties. The growing demand for more communities made franchising the natural next step, giving women a proven business model rather than a leap of faith.
Why Athena is a Proven Path for Women Entrepreneurs
Today, Athena Regional Directors / franchisees operate across the UK, with Ambassadors internationally, leveraging a tested business model, repeatable systems, and ongoing training and support.
Joining the Athena leadership team means becoming part of a network that thrives on collaboration, empowerment, and business growth for women.
It’s not just about replication. It’s about creating opportunities for women to lead, connect, and make a lasting impact in their communities.
“Athena franchisees bring their passion, experience, and engaging personalities. We provide the systems and support. Joining Athena in the role of a Regional Director is a unique opportunity for women entrepreneurs to step into a business that already works. This allows them to focus on growth, leadership and meaningful connections.”
~ Lindsay McLoughlin, Franchise Recruitment Director
