District Chairman 2025-2026

My Mantra: “Inspire through Action, Influence through Integrity”
True leadership is never about position, it’s about presence. It’s found in the way we show up for others, the consistency with which we uphold our values, and the courage to walk the path we ask others to follow. This year’s IIW theme, “Step Up and Lead by Example,” is a powerful reminder that every gesture, however small, has the potential to spark meaningful change when led with sincerity.
Each of us has a story, a strength, and a voice. When we choose to lead with authenticity, we invite others to do the same. Leadership is not reserved for the few, it is nurtured in the everyday decisions we make: when we extend empathy, when we uphold fairness, and when we act, even when no one is watching. That is where true influence begins.
As members of Inner Wheel, we are united not just by our commitment to service but by our shared vision of a more compassionate and empowered world. This year, I invite each one of you to lead not only through initiatives, but through your mindset by setting standards of excellence, resilience, and grace.
Our district has always been a space where ideas are welcomed, collaboration is celebrated, and purpose is pursued with passion. As we embark on this new journey together, I am confident that with open hearts and strong intent, we will create meaningful outcomes—rooted in impact, strengthened by unity, and remembered as a lasting legacy.
Let us be the kind of leaders who don’t just plan the way forward but walk it first. Together, let’s create a year that reflects the best of who we are and all that we stand for.
Here’s to a purposeful year of living, leading, and lifting by example.
With warm Inner Wheel regards,
Aruna Sree Gudla
