2 ELECTED UNOPPOSED AS IIW PRESIDENT CHARLOTTE DE VOS KNOKKE-HEIST OOSTKUST 62 BELGIUM & LUXEMBOURG Approx 2020 members I am a former Rotaract member and have always been involved in Service clubs alongside the members of my family. When my husband joined Rotary I became an Inner Wheel member in Taking offices at Club, District, National Council and International level gave me the opportunity to serve our wonderful organisation. As a Master in Law and Notary I worked in an office of Notary, till my husband died 15 years ago. I have 3 daughters and 7 lovely grandchildren (6 grandsons and one little princess ) I would like to share with my team, the vast and varied experience I have gained as the International Inner Wheel Treasurer and member of the Executive Committee , and as IIW Vice-President. By using our new communication tools, especially the new database and website, which I was involved in creating, I feel we can now promote our organisation much better. The Inner Wheel organisation has spread into so many countries around the world, yet, due to our website and electronic communications we feel like a family unit. I wish to develop that sense of belonging to one of the largest women s service organisation as one family, working on the same ideals, respecting our different backgrounds and cultures.

3 NOMINATION FOR IIW VICE PRESIDENT OLUYEMISI ALATISE LAGOS 911 NIGERIA Approx 770 members Inner Wheel has been my way of life and the way to be since I joined the first IW Club in Nigeria in I have always seen the organisation as a platform for development, an avenue for friendship and an umbrella to serve the less privileged. Every step up to IW office is usually new opportunity to actualise an inner zeal to prove myself. I have made marks in all key offices held, trailing a blaze of success stories for those coming behind to build on. As President of my Club I started the project that still stands as the biggest IW project in Nigeria for lost and found children. As District Chairman I started the Vocational Centre building for training and empowering indigent women. As National Representative dozen of women were empowered, and through "Women for Africa Seminar" I laid a foundation for a strong Microcredit project. Internationally I have made friends, meeting IW members is a passion. I intend to strengthen our international understanding, to make IW open door to sincere friendship. In the process of making friends, we serve and bring smile to faces of needy, leaving an indelible mark in the minds of the served. My vision is to make members feel at home with fellow members globally, without losing our value of self respect, integrity, sharing Jove, improving self development and actualisation in the process. I will work to strengthen the hard work and contribution of our Past Presidents and be the pride to our founding mothers.
