Podcast Series to Help Servicewomen & Veterans Returning Home from Deployment Launched This Week


Series Includes Army Women’s Hall of Fame Inductees—Army Women Who Served in Vietnam

During March, military leaders, government officials, academics, and corporate and non-profit leaders assembled in Washington, D.C. with one question:  how do we use our collective knowledge and resources to help servicewomen successfully transition back into their homes, jobs, and communities?   This question was the focus of the Army Women's Foundation’s 4th Annual Army Women in Transition Symposium & Hall of Fame Luncheon

The answers offered by these leaders are found in a podcast series and are based on their experiences, research, knowledge, lessons learned, and best practices.  Starting today, podcasts of the Symposium will be available for free viewing and download from http://podcast.awfdn.org.  The podcasts will provide servicewomen and veterans returning home from deployment with real advice.  A schedule of podcasts is below.  These podcasts are made possible through support by Booz Allen Hamilton and Stars and Stripes.

         Monday, June 4:  Symposium Panel One, “Beyond the Battlefield: Coming Home”        
         Tuesday, June 5:  Symposium Panel Two, “Beyond the Battlefield: Back to Work”
