JILLIAN ESTROP

Warmest Greetings to All Inner Wheel Members,

It is with immense joy and deep gratitude that I welcome you to the new Inner Wheel year, 2025–2026. I am truly honoured and humbled to serve as the 45th District Chairman of District 330, Malaysia. Thank you for the trust you have placed in me—I am committed to doing my very best to lead our District with integrity, purpose, and vision.

I invite each of you to join me on this journey of progress, unity, and meaningful impact as we work hand in hand to achieve the goals we’ve set for this term.

This year’s International Inner Wheel theme, “Step Up & Lead by Example,” speaks powerfully to the heart of what it means to be an Inner Wheel member. Leadership isn’t defined by position—it’s defined by action, by the example we set, and by the difference we make in the lives of others. As women of Inner Wheel, we are uniquely positioned to lead with compassion, inspire through service, and uplift our communities through genuine connection and purpose.

At the club level, I encourage every member to embrace leadership in your own unique way and to support one another wholeheartedly. Let us focus our collective energy on:

Strengthening membership and fostering growth
Deepening friendships and club unity
Promoting good governance and accountability
Providing quality training for those stepping into leadership roles

Together, let us create a culture where more members make things happen, fewer simply watch things happen, and even fewer are unaware of what’s happening. A vibrant, engaged, and empowered membership is key to our success.

To my dedicated executive committee—Vice Chairman Saraswathy Veloo, Immediate Past District Chairman Vimalavathi T Pillai, Hon. Secretary Lucy Barrock, Hon. Treasurer Jasbir Kaur Sarjit, Extension Chairman Krishnaveni Mutthiah, ISO Sumitra Sundram, Editor Jaya R Samuel, and Webmaster Merlin Gasper —congratulations and thank you for your commitment. Your readiness to serve and uphold the values of Inner Wheel is truly commendable. Together, alongside our National Representative, Datin Gillian Lee of D331, I am confident we will support our clubs with strength and synergy throughout this term.

Thank you once again for the privilege to serve. Let us make 2025–2026 a year of meaningful growth, lasting impact, and shared success.

In friendship and service,

Jillian Estrop
District Chairman 2025-26

National Representative's Message (July 2025)

Dear friends in Inner Wheel,

My heartiest Congratulations to you on a successful 2024-2025, and Welcome to a brand new Inner Wheel year! As we kick off 2025-2026, I am incredibly optimistic that it will be another year of remarkable achievements for our Clubs in Districts 330 and 331, driven by dynamic and inspiring leaders - both new and seasoned.

Having worked as an accountant in Singapore, London and Malaysia, joining Inner Wheel some 15 years ago was one of the best retirement plans that I could have made. My contributions, both personal and professional, to my Club and the District over the years, however, appear humble compared to the well-rounded growth that I have acquired and the many friendships that I have made since my induction into Inner Wheel. This amazing Organization is ever-evolving, with each year surpassing the last, and it all begins with our Clubs.

Each of our Clubs is unique, with its own incredible strengths. Some are blessed with vibrant and visionary leaders, while others are guided by leaders who, despite their initial hesitations, courageously stepped up, embraced their roles brilliantly, and built upon the inspiring foundations laid by those before them. This diverse leadership is our collective strength.

Inner Wheel offers each of us the opportunity to STEP UP and become champions for women and girls. Through our dedicated and collective efforts in community service, we have brought hope to the less fortunate, empowered fellow women, and paved brighter futures for the children. our leaders of tomorrow.

Yet, as we continue this vital work, let us remember that our lasting legacy lies not just in what we accumulate, but in the communities we build together. It is not in what we receive, but in the compassion and knowledge that we generously share; not just in our abilities, but in our unwavering character; and ultimately, not in our personal success, but in our collective significance.

The future of Inner Wheel rests with each and every one of us. So let us STEP UP AND LEAD BY EXAMPLE, be an inspiration to our younger members and everyone around us, and let us proudly promote the Inner Wheel brand through our impactful actions and passionate commitment.

Together, we can make an even greater difference. Let us make 2025-2026 our most impactful year yet!

Looking forward to working with you and wishing you all the very best.
Yours in Inner Wheel friendship,
