The Women’s Empowerment and Leadership Initiative (WELI) is dedicated to assisting pediatric anesthesiologists with gaining skills, knowledge, confidence, and opportunities to achieve their career goals. A key component of this mission is to connect  protégés with an advisor. The advisors have a history of mentoring and personal career success, and they offer guidance tailored to each protégé’s area of interest. Advisors may draw on advising, mentoring, and coaching approaches. WELI also fosters collaboration and connection through group discussions and networking to facilitate professional advancement and build a sense of belonging. Additionally, advisors and protégés join in-person and virtual workshops led by executive coaches and content experts throughout the year.
