Word from NER TAC I am Edwina Lam and I’ve been working in the TAC team for more than a year.
It’s been hectic months for the TAC team to review the projects. The peak season for the review process is the beginning of the year since most of the teams would like to go out to the site during the summer.
In April, the regional TAC team reviewed a record 20 implementation trips. Thanks for all the TAC members who attended the calls and provide feedback to the chapters.
EWB has been trying to format the project report to become more professional. So the chapters have been informed to use the new project report document (525) for their future submission.
At this moment, we are in the transition between the old forms (507) to new forms (525). If you have any question and comment, feel free to contact me and I will try my best to answer your questions. Thank you for supporting EWB.
