It also serves as a sounding board and sparring partner for the director and advises the director on strategic and major operational decisions.

The position

The guiding principle for the composition of the Supervisory Board is that it should consist of generalists who complement one another in terms of knowledge and experience and together form a multidisciplinary team. The individual members are socially engaged, have an affinity for sports, and possess a relevant network that they utilize for the benefit of the organization. To ensure an optimal team composition, we are currently seeking a chairperson for the Supervisory Board of Sportief Capelle.
