The Women in Executive Leadership Solomon Islands (WELSI) joins in mourning the passing of Dr. Alice Pollard and extends our heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, and the many people whose lives she touched.

Dr. Pollard made a significant contribution to womenโ€™s empowerment, financial inclusion, and leadership in the Solomon Islands. Through her work and mentorship, she encouraged women to build confidence, strengthen their voices and take on leadership roles in their communities and workplaces.

We were privileged to have Dr. Pollard as our keynote speaker and panelist at our International Womenโ€™s Day Breakfast this year. We will remember not only the wisdom she shared with us, but also her genuine belief in what WELSI is seeking to build. She recognised the potential for WELSI to create pathways for women to lead, from rural communities through to corporate and senior leadership.

Her encouragement and belief in the importance of creating pathways for women to lead will remain meaningful to WELSI as we continue this work.

May she rest in eternal love and peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Wednesday 29 July, Honiara -The eighth delivery of the Solomon Islands Senior Executive Women in Leadership Program is currently underway with the last two days scheduled for Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th in Honiara.

The program was initially devised in partnership with the Solomon Islands Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI), the Solomon Islands Women in Business Association (SIWIBA), and the Institute of Solomon Islands Accountants (ISIA) with support from the Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI).

Since 2025, the program continues to be delivered by the Women in Executive Leadership Solomon Islands (WELSI) after its registration as a professional network that supports and connects women in senior leadership and executive roles across the Solomon Islands.

The objective is to advance gender development and social inclusion in terms of providing relevant professional development of women in senior executive roles, providing support and networks to advance professional women into CEO and board positions.

As Lead Facilitator of the program, Ms. Lilly Lomulo is passionate about empowering women executives with knowledge, confidence and cultivating opportunity for them to be transformative leaders, be better versions of themselves and be positive changemakers as professionals.

โ€œโ€œIt has been inspiring to witness our executives recognize their potential and embrace the value they bring to their workplaces and communities,โ€ she said.

This four-day program is designed for women who are already making an impact in their organizations and communities, and who are ready to strengthen their leadership journey even further.โ€

Eighteen (18) participants are currently attending the current delivery representing different organisations mostly from the private sector, State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and the public sector.

Over the four-day program, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of governance, sharpen their financial and risk management skills, and strengthen their professional brand.

They will hear from leaders who have walked the leadership path who will share insights that will inspire participants and guide them on their own professional and leadership journey.

WELSI hopes that after the four-day training, these aspiring women leaders will not only leave with new knowledge, but also with stronger networks, greater confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
