On August 21, 2023, the Council of Members of the NWPCS unanimously approved the nominations of the Confidential Committee. With the appointment of Anneke Dijkstra, she will fill the position of secretary, and of Jaap Sloof, who will look after the NWR/Partbred breeding portfolio as board member, the main board is almost back to full strength.

Experience and expertise

“We are delighted with these appointments,” announced President Henriette Fraser. “With this team we can continue to work on the objectives of our studbook.” Chairman Richard Dekkers is also pleased with the arrival of Anneke and Jaap. “They bring a lot of experience and expertise which is of added value to our studbook”.
