SMI celebrated its second cohort of Mentees for completing their ground-breaking leadership program called Advancing Women Leaders (AWL). This 12-month program brings together a Mentor, Sponsor, and Mentee pairing from SMI member organizations for the advancement of women into senior level executive roles. SMI celebrated the second cohort of sixteen Mentees and launched the program’s third cohort at the SMI Fall Forum in Austin, TX.
SMI’s Advancing Women Leaders (AWL) program strives to elevate leaders into Senior Executive Positions by guiding women to leverage their networks, and work alongside a Sponsor and Mentor in unison, thus creating a more diverse healthcare supply chain. As part of this program, SMI members nominate a mentee and participate in the program as their Sponsor.
