The LRE Foundation announces a change within its International Supervisory Board, the body that oversees the Foundation’s management, activities, and financial accountability.
After several years of valuable service, Herre Dijkema is stepping down from his position as a Board Member. Throughout his mandate, Herre contributed his time, knowledge and strategic thinking with remarkable dedication, helping guide the Foundation through key stages of development and international growth.
As we look ahead, we’re pleased to welcome Jorrit Volkers as the newest member of the Board.
Jorrit is a Dutch executive with a legal and tax background and significant boardroom experience. He has held leadership roles in various foundations and international organizations, dedicated to economic and cultural development. He brings a broad perspective and a strong sense of civic engagement, qualities that will enrich the work of the Board moving forward.
Rémi Praud, Managing Director of the LRE Foundation, commented on the transition:
“Herre has been a thoughtful and steady presence on our Board. We deeply appreciate the time and attention he has devoted to the Foundation over the years – always generous, always constructive. While our formal collaboration comes to an end, we know his support will not be lacking. At the same time, we are pleased to welcome Jorrit to the Board. His expertise and strategic mindset will be valuable as we continue to grow across Europe.”
Moments of transition like this are part of the Foundation’s strength. They bring fresh ideas while staying rooted in the long-term vision that connects our network, our mission, and the people behind it.
