ASTRON has a new Board member - Albertiene Hadders. Abertiene's background is in finance, (interim) management and business strategy. She lives in Groningen, and is also keenly interested in sport, indeed she has represented the Netherlands in hockey. Albertiene also sees sport as a vehicle to help under privileged children - in addition to being a member of many different boards and oversight bodies, she is currently chairperson of the "Jeugdsportfonds Groningen".

Albertiene recently visited ASTRON as part of her introduction to her Board duties, and was given a tour of the building and our facilities - one of her personality traits is to be "interested in everything" - she certainly seemed impressed with the work going on in our labs and is clearly very much looking forward to her new role on the ASTRON Board.

In addition to Albertiene, the current ASTRON board now includes Prof. Karel Gaemers (chair), Sipke Swierstra (also chair of the LOFAR RvT), Prof. Johan Bleeker (former General Director of SRON), Prof. J. de Hosson (Professor of applied physics at the University of Groningen) and Prof. Josee van Eindhoven (Professor in Sustainable Management at the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions, DRIFT, Erasmus University Rotterdam).
