Get Involved

Being a business owner takes time and money. ATHENAPowerLink® Baltimore wants to be a primary tool in your kit—to help lighten the load by offering our expertise for an entire year. At no cost to you, an advisory panel dedicates their time and efforts to ensure a plan of action for your long-term business success.
According to a study by ATHENA International, client businesses showed an average increase of 88% in sales, 37% in business net income, 56% in personal net income, 75% in the number of part-time employees, and 36% in the number of full-time employees upon completion of the program.
Like those statistics? Then apply to be a participant or apply to be a panelist.
