PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS

Devin Limpert | President

Enactus Calgary is a student run organization at the University of Calgary that focuses on creating positive social change through community projects and entrepreneurial action. Our programs are designed to foster entrepreneurial development, economic and environmental sustainability, youth empowerment and financial literacy education in Calgary and its surroundings.  In 2016, Enactus Calgary had over 75 active members, who volunteered over 15,200 hours, ran 7 independent projects, and directly impacted over 4,500 people.  

Our projects also focus on the five livelihoods of Enactus: Financial, Social, Natural, Physical and Human. From May 9th to 19th, Enactus Calgary competed in the Enactus Canada National Exposition in Vancouver.  Annually, the exposition brings together students, academic, and industry leaders from across the country to celebrate the achievements of Enactus teams from across Canada. The team has continued our success at the exposition, with our fourth semi-final appearance in a row. Empower was named Walmart Women’s Economic Empowerment runner up project of the year.

This year we are keeping the momentum and have clear goals for our projects, as well as a goal to represent Calgary in all of Enactus’ expositions. The targets for the 2016/17 year include:

- Finalist team at National exposition
- 8-12 executing projects
- $500,000 economic activity
- 50 events
- 10,000 lives directly impacted

Enactus Calgary is a passionate student group dedicated to bettering (or improving) our community. We hope you will join us in our mission of “Helping Our Community Move Onward”!
