To keep the association running smoothly, there is a board consisting of 5 people that are chosen yearly. The board is made up of a Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Commissioner of Technical Affairs and a Commissioner of General Affairs. At the beginning of each academic year a new board is chosen and elected in a General Members Meeting. Want to know who are currently in the board? We’ll let them introduce themselves:
Chair:
Hey, I am Pien the chair of the 82nd board! Just started my masters in Food Quality Management, so I have been in Wageningen for quite some years now. On the board, I am most crazy about tennis, so I am looking forward to all the tennis-related activities! However, I also enjoy a drink, we don’t call ourselves the wine board for nothing🍷. I am very excited for the coming year and hope to see you at Walhalla🧡💙
Secretary:
Hello, I am Jort van Mulligen, and I am thrilled to be your secretary for this year! I am in the first year of my Master’s Food Technology. I have been a member of Walhalla since last year, and what an amazing year it has been! Most Tuesdays, I would cook for the kooko, play some tennis, and find every good excuse to end up at the bar🍻. The pinnacle of last year was definitely our “chateau weiland” WIP, of which I loved every minute.
For now, I hope to see all of you during one of many activities, parties, or racket evenings and make this a phenomenal (tennis) year!🧡💙
Treasurer:
Hoi! I’m Marlies, treasurer this year 💰. I have been a member of Walhalla for about a year now, and I’ve really found my place thanks to you. I hope this very serious job suits me well (😬).
Past year, I’ve had a lot of fun working in various committees and, at times, on the tennis court🎾.
I also like to travel the country to join all tournaments of other student tennis associations, very “gezellig”. (Recommend it!) 💙🧡
Don’t hesitate to come talk to me about budgets or other fun stuff. Looking forward to this year!
Commissioner technical affairs:
Hey! I am Tim, your Commissioner of Technical Affairs for this year! I am a second-year Bachelor’s International Land and Water Management student, which I get a lot of joy out of. I am also a second-year Walhalla member and a real tennis nerd🎾. The thing I love to do most is play tennis, but due to me always having injuries I have not played that much tennis this year:(. I also love to go to most of the external tournaments of other student tennis associations and I hope you guys are coming with me:) If you have any questions regarding tennis lessons or joining a competition, don’t hesitate to ask me! I hope to see many of you at the Toko soon! 🧡💙Houdoe!
Commissioner of General Affairs:
Hey, I am Lieve, and I am very excited to be your commissioner of general affairs this year! Right now I am doing my master’s in consumer studies and I have been a member of Walhalla for a year now. I am looking forward to contacting you with a spectacular email each week and keeping in contact with the committees of Walhalla. Coming year, I will show you that you don’t have to be a good tennis player to be active and make an effort for Walhalla🎾🧡. I really like to yap, so don’t hesitate to come chat with me coming year, I will probably be at the bar!🍻
