Dear District 86 Members,
I’m thrilled and honoured to serve you as the Public Relations Manager for 2025–2026! We are a district rich with passionate leaders, brilliant storytellers, and inspiring voices and I’m here to help make sure the world hears them loud and clear! This year, PR isn’t just about promotion, it’s about celebration, connection, and community.
Together, we’ll spotlight the incredible work being done in every corner of the district, from club milestones and member achievements to life-changing workshops and contests.
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s ahead:
- Member Spotlight Series – Your stories. Your voice. Your journey.
- Behind-the-Scenes District Coverage – From contests to conferences, we’ll bring the action to your screens.
- Monthly Newsletters – Fresh, fun, and packed with opportunities and inspiration.
- Social Media Revamp – New platforms, more engagement, and a lot of YOU!
- PR Bootcamps & Tools – Helping clubs elevate their image and outreach with ease.
And yes, we want YOU to be part of the movement. Got an event? A success story? A member doing amazing things? Send them our way! Let’s celebrate each other and lift each other.
To serve with energy, creativity, and an open door. My team and I are always just a message away.
Let’s make this a bold, visible, and unforgettable year for District 86.
With excitement and purpose,
Chris Moses DTM
