Modern Women in the Third Act of Their Lives

Today’s women have a whole new take on retirement, centered around giving back and board service. To further understand women and their approach to vocational freedom — when she has the time, treasure, and talent to pursue any passion or interest she desires — Athena surveyed our community of women executives.

Giving back becomes first priority

  • 81% of survey respondents were between ages 45 & 65 – with 70% reporting that they’ve achieved vocational freedom or are within five years of it. Yet, more than half of respondents report that they still work full-time.
  • 60% of women look for help from organizations like Athena Alliance to make the transition to vocational freedom. “Traditional means of ‘retirement’ support, such as books or groups are not necessarily the right fit for these modern, ambitious women,” Liz Tinkham, host of Athena’s Third Act podcast (which inspired the infographic), observed.
  • 90% of women are interested in for-profit or non-profit board service.
