Enabling progress through
entrepreneurial action via projects such as …
Minimbah Project: University of New England
“Programs for Aboriginal inclusion are to, for, on and about. They are rarely with. True
reconciliation is about the with … “
Gina Milgate: Kamilaroi and Wiradjuri Daughter, sister, Aunty and BAB Member
The Minimbah projects are about working ‘with’ our local Aboriginal community to
empower them to take small steps to overcome the barriers which are contributing to their
economic and social disadvantage. In 2012 the focus has been on legal identity. Without a
legal identity our indigenous people are unable to take on many of the roles and activities
which to the rest of us are a normal part of Australian life.
This year 120 Aboriginal and refugee students at the Minimbah Indigenous Pre and Primary
School in Armidale took part in a” Birth Certificate Access Event” in collaboration with 3
government agencies; 2 non-profits and 2 private enterprises. As a result, 95 Aboriginal
children were provided with their very first birth certificate. This means that these 95
Aboriginal children can now participate in sporting teams; access financial services; acquire
a driver’s license; and travel overseas.

Enactus Team Structure
Teams can be structured in many different ways; there is
no right or wrong way!
• Executive Team: may include a President (or CoPresident), Vice President, Finance Director,
Marketing/Public Relations Director, Human Resources
Director, IT Director, and Measurement/Auditing
Director
• Project Managers handle the daily running of projects
• Some teams use Committees to cope with operational
issues such as Fundraising and Sponsorship
Enactus Team - Measurement
• Teams with long-term, self-sustaining projects
have assigned people to focus on measurement
and auditing of the team.
This can be done by:
• Having a measurement and audit team, or a
person on the Executive Team devoted to this role
• Dedicating one individual in each project group or
committee to measurement and auditing

How does an established enactus team
know if their projects are enabling
progress through entrepreneurial
action???
All enactus projects should meet
the enactus judging criterion
“Considering the relevant economic, social,
and environmental factors, which enactus
team most effectively empowered people in
need by applying business and economic
concepts and an entrepreneurial approach
to improve their quality of life and standard
of living?”
See page 44 of the 2013 Enactus Team Handbook for more information on the criterion
But what does this mean??
“Considering the relevant economic,
social and environmental factors”
• Did the team consider how these factors may
affect the project, or what impact their project
will have on these factors
All enactus projects should aim to effectively
empower people in need.
The enactus empowerment philosophy is
focused around the idea:
“Give me a fish and I will eat for a day.
Teach me how to fish and I will eat for a
lifetime.”
Use entrepreneurial action to increase the
quality of life and standard of living for its
projects participants
Self-Auditing
To ensure your projects are meeting the
enactus criteria and your team is performing
at it’s best ability, enactus International
recommends self-auditing.
