Kiley McCarthy-Connolly Scholtz to Moderate Ally Townhall; U.S. Rep. Mike Levin Among the Participants
Jan 23 2026
Womble Bond Dickinson attorney Kiley McCarthy-Connolly Scholtz will moderate a panel discussion titled “Ally Townhall: The Future of Allyship.” The event is presented by Athena’s Allyship Committee and takes place from 4:30-6:30 p.m. PST on February 19.
As the STEM workforce navigates rapid technological change, political polarization, and rising social tension, the next era of leadership will be defined not by volume or ideology, but by judgment, credibility, and the ability to build durable systems that work for everyone.
Athena's Allyship Townhall brings together respected leaders from Congress, biotech, finance, technology, and community-building to explore a pragmatic question facing modern leadership: How do influential men and allies lead with strength, clarity, and conviction—without deepening division?
Joining McCarthy-Connolly Scholtz in the discussion will be:
• Dr. Nima Alamdari, Chief Science Officer, Ritual
• Sean Harvey, Founder, Warrior Compassion Institute
• Rep. Mike Levin, U.S. House of Representatives
• Bryan Pruden, Chief Financial Officer, Lindahl Reed.
