District 9815 Changeover 2026

Join Rotarians, partners, and guests for an inspiring evening of connection, recognition, and vision as we honour a magnificent year under the leadership of District Governor Peter Behm and welcome the new District Governor, Emma Clark, and the leadership team for 2026–2027.

A Rotary District Changeover is far more than a formal handover of badges and titles — it’s one of the rare moments where the whole District 9815 story comes alive in one room. Clubs from across the District gather together, friendships reconnect, new ideas spark over dinner tables, and suddenly you realise your club is part of something much bigger. It’s equal parts celebration, inspiration, reunion, and glimpse into the future.

You’ll hear stories that remind you why Rotary matters, meet people doing extraordinary things in their communities, and discover opportunities you never knew existed. One conversation can lead to a new project, a lifelong friendship, a youth opportunity, an international connection, or the confidence to step into a bigger role yourself. Even the most experienced Rotarians often leave a Changeover saying, “I had no idea Rotary was doing all this.”

And yes — there’s also the fun part. The laughter, the photos, the stories that get better every year, the accidental networking, the elegant chaos of people trying to find their tables, and the shared excitement of a fresh Rotary year beginning. A District Changeover is where optimism becomes contagious. You don’t just attend to watch leadership change hands — you attend to reconnect with the energy, purpose, and people that make Rotary worth being part of.
