MISSION, STRATEGY & STRUCTURE
HOMEWARD BOUND MISSION AND STRATEGY
Homeward Bound was created to increase the influence and impact of women leading with a STEMM background in making decisions that shape the future of our planet.
Its goal is to give 10,000 women by 2036 the skill and will to lead with impact and influence for the greater good. By connecting influential women in STEMM and putting them through this leadership initiative and creating global collaboration, Homeward Bound will ensure that there is greater diversity at the global leadership table.
Guiding us is our Strategy Map, which outlines the key needs and deliverables of the initiative. The strategy is reviewed annually and updated as required to reflect any new developments or changes in priority or focus.
