Golden Gurus means an idea submitted at the 2020 Summit with a catchy soubriquet to describe interested, successful older Australians who are "keen to give back" by passing on knowledge to businesses, communities and individuals in a mentoring role. 

Seniors represent a wide range of careers, from doctors to police officers to plumbers.  A lifetime of work develops a wealth of transferable skills, and retired people often thrive from an opportunity to pass on this knowledge.

Golden Gurus are recent retirees who have succeeded under the pressures of life and have acquired valuable life and business skills, and are "keen to give back" by passing on knowledge to businesses, communities and individuals in a mentoring role.

National Seniors runs INSTEP, the Indigenous Skills Transfer and Exchange Partnership, where seniors contribute their knowledge to Indigenous communities which is an existing application of the Golden Gurus concept with grey nomads travelling to remote Indigenous communities where volunteer Golden Gurus provide mentoring skills not limited to -

(a)        business development;

(b)        community management skills; and

(c)        market garden management.

On 22 April '09 then PM, Kevin Rudd, announced that Golden Gurus was one of nine ideas adopted by the 2020 Summit with employers, government and society needing to support the decisions of older people continuing to contribute to society, in whichever way they choose.

As noted in Philanthropy, if Governments wish to encourage individual Philanthropy,  Corporate Philanthropy and utilise Golden Gurus beyond say Rotary Australia and Lions Australia,  Governments need to create explicit structures which harness the particular skills and Gatekeeper attributes of successful business people, approaching retirement or having recently retired, to perform specific roles which utilise those particular skills.

Golden Gurus are Social Capital.

Only when the structure and operations functions of a humanitarian cause(s), such as the YELP  SPV, BTSCP  SPV, BTSOP  SPV, BTB&MD  SPV and ICDI-HELP  SPV, are set out in logical steps on websites such as YELP Website and ICDI-HELP Website can such successful business people approaching or in early retirement, maximise their hands-on contribution which may have a spin-off benefit of enhancing the Brand Name of their company (if the Golden Guru is still working full time or part time) if their company facilitated their generous support.

RECs and Pioneer FOFs fall within the terms of reference for the Golden Gurus programme as explained in -

*        Section 12 "Employing earl retirees......" ; and

*        Section  24.  Utilise the skills of RECs and Pioneer FOFs under the Golden Gurus programme.

Below is a schedule of the Golden Gurus required under the Two National Preventive Health Research Programmes.

• The Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme in the First National Preventive Health Research Programme draws on -
  32  Pioneer FOFs who possess Five Pioneer FOF Qualities; and
  20  RECs who possess Eleven Sports Administration Attributes.

• The  I Can Do It  -  Healthy Exercise Lifestyle Programme   Fifth Business Plan in the First National Preventive Health Research Programme draws on 32 Pioneer Other Fit Old Farts who possess Five Pioneer FOF Qualities

• The First BTAAP Business Plan known as Bohemian Teenager Show Choirs Programme draws on 32 Pioneer Seasoned Choir Devotees who possess Five Pioneer Seasoned Choir Devotees Qualities.

• The Second BTAAP Business Plan known as Bohemian Teenager Symphony Orchestras Programme draws on 32 Pioneer Symphony Music Fogeys who possess Five Pioneer Symphony Music Fogey Qualities.

• The Third BTAAP Business Plan known as Bohemian Teenager Ballet & Modern Dance Programme draws on 32 Pioneer Elder Dance Aficionados who possess Five Pioneer EDA Qualities

For the purpose of the Two National Preventive Health Research Programmes, Golden Gurus are Gatekeepers approaching or at retirement age who will generally come at a fraction of the cost of comparably talented executives say 10 years younger, because -

i)           Pioneer FOFs, Pioneer Other Fit Old Farts, Pioneer Seasoned Choir Devotees, Pioneer Symphony Music Fogeys and Pioneer Elder Dance Aficionados would represent their employer on the YELP  SPV, ICDI-HELP SPV, BTSOP SPV and BTB&MD SPV respectively, would be paid by their employer whilst working on associated duties; and

ii)         RECs would also be over 50, have nothing more to prove and be keen to be Philanthropic and would be remunerated at approx 75% of market rate for their skills with scope to donate up to 50% to YELP Disabled Equipment Fund as explained in Donation To YELP Disabled Equipment Fund.
