Want to feature an article? 

Anyone with an Athena Forum account is able to post announcements to the news feed or events on the website calendar. After logging in, use the links below to:

All content is moderated by the Athena Team. We encourage you to proactively post content whenever you have information applicable to a statewide audience. If something is posted on the website, it will be added to the newsletter.

If you do not have an Athena Forum account, you may email the Athena team with a full draft of the item you'd like featured.

Announcement considerations: 

  • Website announcements do not have a limit on words or characters.
  • Newsletter announcements are limited to 100 words. If there is an important yet lengthy message, we will post it to the website in full, then provide a summary in the newsletter that directs back to the online article. 
  • When writing a draft, include key details of who, what, when, where, and why. Items that are often forgotten include: contact information, sponsor, registration deadline, and whether the opportunity is in-person or virtual. 
  • The website and newsletter are not able to publish photos or flyers. If a PDF flyer is not professionally formatted for accessibility according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensure announcements include every detail listed on a flyer, rather than prompting the reader to refer to a flyer for more information.

Event considerations: 

  • The following information is required at minimum: title, type (meeting, training, conference), date, and description.
  • The following information is encouraged: contact information, registration link when applicable, learning objectives, pre-event requirements, cost, and an agenda if the event requires travel.
  • Description can be as short or long as you prefer. 
  • You may also post upcoming events as a save-the-date, so long as you update the event later with a registration link.
