Emulation and reward work has been given attention, promptly discovered, encouraged, and exemplified by active collectives and individuals... thereby positively impacting the work of consolidating the organization, building the association, and developing members in recent times.

However, the development of the association's organization, members and the work of ensuring the implementation of tasks as well as the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic have significantly affected the effectiveness of the association's operations; however, with a high spirit of determination, the District Association Executive Committee, leaders of branches and members have united, overcome difficulties and successfully completed the targets set by the Resolution of the 9th Congress of Delegates, term 2018 - 2024.
