Nurturing Tomorrow’s Leaders

Mannkal Ambassador Program

The Mannkal Economic Education Foundation has had an associated Ambassador group since the very early days of Mannkal. Originally the Ambassadors were a group of friends of Mannkal who were interested in progressing the cause of liberty here in Perth. They saw Mannkal as a mechanism to achieve this and were willing to provide some financial support.

As our numbers grew, we recognised the strength in the associated group and its potential to have a greater impact, so in 2022 we formalised the Ambassador Program to incorporate three streams:

1. A mentoring program for Mannkal Scholars

This is a voluntary scheme matching Ambassadors to Mannkal Scholars which typically sees the Scholar and Ambassador meet for a discussion every 4 to 6 weeks to help with career and personal coaching.

2. Direct involvement in the Mannkal Scholarship Program

There is potential for Ambassadors to present student seminars to our Mannkal Scholars sharing their professional expertise and wisdom.

3. An education program for Ambassadors

Every 3 months we aim to host an informal education and discussion session for Ambassadors. The topics reflect the Mannkal philosophy of promoting liberty and free markets

Opportunities for Alumni

Mannkal’s Ambassadors come from a wide range of backgrounds: business, politics, public policy, academia, entrepreneurs, finance, mining, law, agriculture, and retail. There is also a range of life experience, from recent graduates (and Mannkal Alumni) to retirees. Ambassadors provide a financial contribution to Mannkal. This is typically $1,000 per year (tax deductible) with a number of our Ambassadors willing to provide more based on their circumstances.

Affiliations

Mannkal has many global and domestic relationships with other like-minded organisations. We are not affiliated with any political party although many of our members are active in politics.
