| Words of the JCC Chairman |
|
 To those who know me, greetings, to those who don’t welcome. My name is Maurits Hilwig, the chairman of the JCC. I’m both Swedish and Dutch. I live in Amsterdam and as an account manager Business I work at the Rabobank. I personally look forward to meet you all and to share knowledge, have fun and expand our great network in a Dutch-Swedish environment.
Last year we had many interesting events both social and businesswise. With a lot of energy our trainees helped the Committee members to achieve new goals starting the mentor program, celebrating the JCC’s 5 years anniversary, organizing interesting business events and don’t forget to mention the pub crawls. I would like to take this opportunity and thank them for their great efforts.
Within the JCC committee also a lot of action took place. To start, on behalf of all of us I would like to say a great big thank you to Adam Larsson for his work being the chairman of the Swedish junior chamber of commerce over the last few years. I would like to thank you for your charismatic enthusiasm and the energy you brought during opening speeches, singing events and meetings at the Swedish chamber office. Your ideas, experience and knowledge will always be welcome and we will build forward on the map you and previously Kathy Dolk started. Good luck in the future and all interesting opportunities ahead of you. Thanks again and I personally hope we will stay in touch, of course I will see you during our upcoming events!
