Aubel Named 2015 Athena Award Winner
BOARDMAN, Ohio – Genie Aubel, president of St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital, was named the 2015 recipient of the Athena Award last night.
Selected from among 16 nominees, Aubel was presented the award before a crowd of more than 500 at the awards dinner held at Mr. Anthony’s Banquet Center.
The Athena Award, presented by the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber and The Vindicator/vindy.com, recognizes area business and professional women who have demonstrated excellence in their chosen careers, provided leadership in the community and mentored or contributed to the growth of other professional women.

The first tower of the 132-bed hospital, also a $100 million project, opened in 2007 and was the first new hospital built in the Mahoning Valley since 1958.
The keynote address at the event was delivered by Beth E. Mooney, chairwoman and CEO of KeyCorp.
