Nominations for the Prestigious LEN AVARD Award Project Manager Reports The Website has sent an email to 171 Project Managers in Eastern Region Districts. So far 69 have been submitted and 21 are in progress and 81 have not been started. If the reports are not received by the end of May the Board will have to look at marking these projects completed as the Reports are required to be available for the auditors to inspect. We know that there is learning process for all but Nationally we have had 179 reports submitted. RAWCS District Chairs have a role to play in insisting that Project Managers from their Districts complete and submit the reports. I have included details of how the RAWCS District Chairs and all Project Managers can access the RAWCS Directory to see which of their projects have submitted their reports.
