The Stichting Board
Roland Pechtold
Chairman
I am proud to have a "Kiwi Connection" which I want to maintain through my work with the Stichting. Working for Shell from 1997 till 2007 took me to New Zealand in 2001. My wife and I moved to New Zealand where we worked and lived till 2005 and two of our three children are native Kiwis.
Peter Kremer
Secretary and Treasurer
Two small countries, miles apart, connected for centuries. I've had my New Zealand experience, working and living there, raising a family, making friends for life, unforgettable. ; Now I offer the Dutch Experience to the contemporaries of my children. Come and stay in Holland for a while and feel connected, for life.
Ernst Jansen
Advisor
My wife Jos and I have family down under and we are both very interested in intercultural relations and activities. As the associate member of the Board I provide legal advice and assistance for special projects.
Dr. Fanny Wonu Veys
Board Member
Ever since my first visit to New Zealand for my MA dissertation, I keep returning for study, work and to visit friends. I now have the opportunity to foster that relationship between the two countries. One visit to New Zealand and you'll feel connected for life, too...
Niels Meinderts
Board Member
I moved from the Netherlands to New Zealand, aged 5. I worked as a lawyer in Wellington before moving back to Amsterdam in 2010 to complete a Masters Degree. I have always valued the importance of both the Dutch and Kiwi cultural influences on my life and I look forward to helping build bridges between these two dynamic and complementary cultures.
