Molly Seals receives ATHENA Award

BOARDMAN – Molly Seals pulled out a ripped and tattered piece of paper before giving her acceptance speech as the 2007 ATHENA Award recipient. She didn’t need it. Her most memorable words came from her heart.

“So many women, like me, do it not for the recognition, not for any kind of award or reward, but we do it because we care,” said Seals, senior vice president of human resources and organizational development at Humility of Mary Health Partners.

Nearly 700 people were on hand Thursday at Mr. Anthony’s when Seals was selected from among 33 nominees. The award, sponsored by the Regional Chamber and The Vindicator, honors women for professional achievement, community leadership and mentoring.

Not looking at her paper, Seals promised not to let up in any of those areas. “I’ll do everything in my power to earn and re-earn this distinction,” she said.
