District Chairman
District Chairman Dorothy Lee-Ogden
Welcome
When I was approached to be District Chairman for 2025/26 I felt very honoured to have been asked. I will do my best for District 18, being very conscious of the experienced members who have held this role over the years.
I am committed to Inner Wheel, having been a member of Southport Club since July 2011. I always enjoy the Club Meetings, Association Conferences, International Conferences (especially Manchester last year), and the District Meetings which I do not like to miss. I have been President of Southport and Secretary for several years.
Inner Wheel is a friendly organisation, and I have made many friends over the years.
I am looking forward to the coming year, working alongside members and enjoying friendship and fun.

Who we support
For my charity I was very conscious that our District covers two large areas and wanted a charity that worked in England and Wales. I have chosen the North West Air Ambulance and Wales Air Ambulance. The two organisations work well together and are delighted to divide any money raised equally.
