ARA Feedback Sessions

Available by arrangement -
register with your 2026 Awards Entry or at the ARA website from April 2026

A Feedback Session is a private discussion held online via Zoom (or the equivalent) with a senior ARA Adjudicator who participated in the assessment of the annual report entered in the Awards. The discussion will identify the strengths and weaknesses of the report, and provide constructive advice and guidance on how to make improvements in your next annual report. This feedback will help you to produce a better report - or make a good report great!
