NODA North West District Awards

NODA North West is the only region nationally to hold district level award events. Not all of our districts have these: the Regional Respresenative decides whether to have one based on the needs and wants of the membership in that area, and as long as the Rep has time to organise the event, as it's their time that goes into making this happen. The events usually consist of a gala dinner with an awards ceremony, followed by an after party.
