We are excited and pleased to launch the Mary Seacole Alumni – a new initiative that aims to enhance Mary Seacole’s legacy by creating an alumni network that will complement and strengthen the Mary Seacole Trust (MST) leadership programmes, including the Mary Seacole Storytellers program. We are optimistic that the Alumni will form a platform for sharing expertise and knowledge. The alumni will help to support and enhance capacity building and various skills for mentees, such as leadership and resilience.
Objectives of the MST Alumni network
- Create a Think tank – The Alumni will create a community of leaders and aspiring leaders.
- Provide mentorship and coaching for early-career health care professionals.
