Homeward Bound (HB) is a major international initiative aimed at empowering women to step into leadership roles. The program supports women in STEMM in the areas of leadership development, strategic planning, and visibility. Antarctica serves as the backdrop for this work. In this talk you’ll get a peek at the HB professional development program and hear the story of the third HB journey to the Antarctic Peninsula in January 2019. You’ll see photos of penguins, whales, and icebergs, and hear stories about the women of HB and what they hope to do together.
