FA Update March 2015 Team Training It’s time to ensure that all our active universities, particularly our new teams whom we are delighted to welcome into Enactus, start working towards having strong teams and projects so that all can compete this year. Regional Coordinators have advised of upcoming training times and I would encourage as many as possible of our FAs and team members to attend. We will be going through the revised judging criterion which will be used for the competition, as well as many other topics which will assist you in developing your projects and preparing for NCC. Full details on all aspects of team operations are provided in the Team Handbook for 20142015 which is available on our website under Universities/Operational Information. Team Recruitment Competition We are currently conducting a recruitment campaign competition for teams who most effectively use the Updated Campus Recruitment Material. Details are available on Facebook and our website under Universities/Setting up a Team. It’s easy to enter and there’s prize money for this one, so I’d encourage you to take a look. Brambles/CHEP Sponsored Project – Food Waste Challenge CHEP are offering grants and prizes for projects addressing Food Waste issues which could win a team up to $7,500! Details are readily available again on Facebook and on the website under Universities/Projects. This is a real chance to showcase your team’s entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a better more sustainable world. Applications for the first $1,000 instalment of the grant are required by 5 June 2015, so get started now! There are plenty of guidelines and recommended resources available to you. National Conference and Competition Plans are well underway for the NCC to be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Melbourne from 7 – 9 July. Initial information is available on the website under Conference and Events, and further details on the program as well as some international changes to team registration processes will be provided in the April Update. In the meantime a very safe and happy Easter to all. __________________________________________________________________________ A copy of this Update can be found on the website under Universities/Operational Information.
