District Chairman Susan Ramsden

I have been a member of Inner Wheel since 2004 when I joined the Banff Club in District 1. My first husband had been a member of Banff Rotary since 1999 but work commitments meant that I was unable to join at that time. I was a teacher and in 2004 I was appointed Head Teacher of Peterhead Academy in Aberdeenshire and was able to become a member of Inner Wheel. I was honoured to be President twice while in Banff and I was very grateful to my Inner Wheel friends when my husband passed away suddenly in 2008.

In 2010 I married my second husband and in 2013 we sold up in Banff and moved to Ellon where I joined the Ellon Club. In 2015 we both retired and moved to Duns in the Scottish Borders.  I joined Eastern Borders and became President there. When that club disbanded I transferred to Galashiels where I have just completed my year as President.
I joined District 2 Executive in 2021 as District Treasurer and I am honoured to now serve as District Chairwoman.

This year is an exciting one for District 2 as we are merging with District 23 and we eagerly look forward to welcoming all the clubs and members of District 23.  I am looking forward to the challenge, working with my Executive Team to ensure a smooth transition. As a District we are looking forward to promoting and celebrating the work that the clubs do at the heart of their communities and further afield.
