General Member's Assembly at SamSam

On the 9th of October, we held our General Members’ Assembly at SamSam in Enschede. It was great to see so many familiar faces, and some new ones too, taking the time to think along about the future of our association.

During the assembly, the board looked back on the past period and presented its plans for the coming year. Both the annual report and the budget were approved.

There were also some changes to the board. Gerhold Runneboom has stepped down as chair. Gerhold, thank you very much for all your time and dedication to Bekader! Remco Siebelink will take over as interim chair, and Maarten Renkema stays on as interim faculty member. Kim Buursema, Jurre Spruijt and Tristan Ettema remain on the board as well.

We are also looking for enthusiastic members to join the Lustrum Committee! Would you like to help organise an unforgettable anniversary celebration, or are you curious about what being part of the committee involves? Feel free to reach out to the board!

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion. Your input helps us keep Bekader a lively and relevant association for all IEM and BA alumni.

Drinks at Craft District

Of course, a GMA is not complete without a proper drink afterwards. After the official part, we moved to Craft District Enschede, where the conversation continued over a wide selection of craft beers. Besides that, we got a small tour through the brewery. A perfect way to round off the evening!
