Proposed History section addition

[edit]

Hello — I'm proposing the addition of a structured History section to this article. The current article body covers the organization's founding and recent developments but lacks a coherent chronological narrative of the intervening decades. The proposed section draws on publicly available sources and the organization's own documented history, covering the following periods: * 1975–1981: Founding by Robert T. Davis under the SIFE name * 1982–1984: Near-collapse during the early 1980s recession and rebuilding under Alvin Rohrs * 1985–1994: U.S. campus expansion and corporate partnerships * 1995–2000: International expansion, including Central Asia, led by University of Nebraska–Lincoln * 2001–2011: Inaugural SIFE World Cup in London (2001) and growth to 45+ countries * 2012: Rebranding as Enactus at the Washington, D.C. World Cup * 2013–2016: Growth to 1,700 campuses; Rohrs' retirement * 2017–2019: Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals * 2020–2024: Pandemic adaptation, organizational crisis, and Resolution Project partnership * 2025: 50th anniversary and 25th World Cup in Bangkok The section retains all existing cited references in the article and adds three additional citations: the 2012 renaming announcement (archived on Wayback Machine), the Resolution Project merger announcement, and a March 2025 Stanford Social Innovation Review op-ed by Resolution Project CEO George Tsiatis detailing the merger. I am affiliated with the organization and am disclosing that here in accordance with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. I believe the additions are factual, neutral in tone, and improve the article. I welcome any feedback or edits before the section is added. <span data-dtsignatureforswitching="1"></span> ~2026-22044-86 (talk) 13:53, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
