Antarctic adventures

Join Jodi Salmond at Friday Environment Forum on July 26 on a journey through Antarctica, when she will be exploring leadership, environmental stewardship, and the power of awe. Oh. And Penguins. As a participant in the Homeward Bound Women in STEMM program, Jodi embarked on a transformative expedition to Antarctica, delving into the intersection of science, leadership, and sustainability. With a background in Marine Science, she is passionate about promoting diversity of thought and empowering women in all industries. The Antarctic journey underscored the critical importance of global collaboration in environmental conservation. This awe-inspiring experience provided Jodi with profound insights into the significance of Antarctica for global environmental stewardship and personal growth.

Jodi continues to advocate for sustainable practices and inspire others with her experiences, emphasising the role of strong direction in addressing climate challenges. Discover the lessons learned and the impact of this extraordinary journey on personal development and environmental advocacy in her presentation.

The forum is at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville and starts at 10:30am with morning tea available at 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by ‘tap & go’ at the door which includes morning tea/coffee.
