In 2019, Mandy sat on a panel at APEC Chile in the Women and the Economy Forum and in 2020 was a coach in the global Cartier Women's Initiative. She has also been voted one of the 25 most inspiring and influential people for the for-purpose sector as a Pro Bono Australian Impact 25 winner for 2022, and also won the Judges Award for Innovation on top of this outstanding accolade.
