OUR BOARD
A CLUB FOR MEMBERS, BY MEMBERS
A board for the IWCE? That sounds so official and formal, yet it's an important part of the club. Every two years, the board is elected by the general membership, and our role is to govern and represent the club and its members. Being on the IWCE Board involves behind-the-scenes repsonsibilities so the club functions smoothly and all members can enjoy our community. We are here for you!
Our club is registered at the Chamber of Commerce as an association, called a vereniging in Dutch. With that status, we must follow certain laws and regulations. To maintain a financially healthy club guaranteed to continue in the future, we must manage the budget and make informed long-term plans. We organise and attend events, communicate with SIG leaders and Area Representatives, maintain our website and social media and welcome members when they join. Within the board we strive to have fun together while we get the job done.
We look forward to meeting you at an upcoming monthly meeting or club event!
