Speaking during her installation ceremony, Ogwang expressed gratitude to members of Inner Wheel District 900 for entrusting her with the presidency, describing the opportunity as both an honour and a call to serve with humility and dedication.
“I stand before you with great excitement and humility to accept the role of President of the Inner Wheel Club of Kampala. I am honoured and ready to serve,” she said.
Ogwang unveiled her presidential theme, "Grow and Flourish," which will guide the club's activities throughout the year. She said the theme will focus on strengthening friendship among members, expanding membership, and enhancing service to vulnerable communities.
Highlighting the importance of unity within the club, Ogwang said friendship forms the foundation of growth, likening the organization to a tree that depends on strong roots.
“A club cannot grow without members and friends. This year, we intend to root ourselves deeper in friendship while actively recruiting and mentoring new members who will help us flourish for years to come,” she said.
The incoming president also paid tribute to her predecessor, President Harriet, under whose leadership two new clubs—Seeta and Ntinda—were established. While describing the expansion as a significant milestone, Ogwang noted that it also reduced Kampala's membership from about 50 active members to approximately 30, underscoring the need for renewed recruitment and retention efforts.
