De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Sept. 23
The Greater Green Bay Chamber has announced the recipient of the 2021 ATHENA Leadership Award, presented by Wipfli, ahead of the 139th Chamber Annual Dinner. This year’s recipient, chosen by past recipients, is Bobbi Webster.
Bobbi Webster, an Oneida citizen, has spent her career as a communications professional and is currently the PR director for the Oneida Nation. In her work, she has helped set the standards for communication within Indian Country and for tribal communications with the surrounding communities, their leaders and residents. Webster has been an integral part of the growth and progress of not only the Oneida Nation but also Brown County and its residents.
Webster has mentored many young women who have gone on to do incredible things within the Oneida Nation and other tribes. She is a role model for women and provides coaching and advice on careers and communication to those who ask. Wisconsin news publication Madison 365 named Webster as one of the most influential Native Americans in Wisconsin. She is also a member of the Green Bay Packers Board of Directors.
She was the first Chairwoman of the Oneida Golf Enterprise and was instrumental in the effort to bring the LPGA to the Thornberry Creek at Oneida Golf Course. Bobbi has been employed by the Oneida Nation for more than 40-years, established Oneida Communications and served as former editor of the Oneida Tribal newspaper, the Kalihwisaks.
Bobbi Webster will be honored with the 2021 ATHENA Leadership Award at the 139th Chamber Annual Dinner on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center. Registration is still available at GreaterGBC.org/AnnualDinner.
