Episode #94: Special edition - Three women in the presidency

In this special episode of GeogPod, we turn the microphone over to the current presidential team:

Hina Robinson - GA President 2024-25,
Denise Freeman - Immediate Past President 2023-24, and
Catherine Owen - GA Vice President and upcoming president for 2025-26.

Join them as they talk about their special roles not only with the GA but as women leading geography in state schools and how their relationship with the geographical community has developed over time. Hear about their personal passions for working with other teachers and geographers, inspiring the next generations and how geography teachers are continuing to bridge the gaps to support each other and know the importance of the subject.
