OUR SUPERVISORY BOARD

MAARTEN STIKKELORUM

I became involved in the foundation through my wife who suffers from Usher Syndrome. As partner I see and experience the limitations that this disease brings along for my wife and our family every day again.

At this moment, I am working at the Dutch Heart Foundation, where I am responsible for the finances and business operations. Additionally, I am a member of the Finances Committee of the sector association Goede Doelen Nederland [Good Causes Netherlands] and I am in the Fund-raising Organisations working group of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board. With all this experience and knowledge I can support the foundation in its fight against this disease as a member of the Advisory Board.

STIJN BELT

Stijn Belt, involved in the foundation from the very beginning and closely familiar with Usher Syndrome . As a member of the Advisory Board I like to make a contribution in the form of knowledge and experience in the areas of project management and fund raising.

Stichting Ushersyndroom has a Supervisory Board in accordance with its statutes. The Supervisory Board  has the legal responsibility to oversee the management of the organization and can be regarded as the employer of the board.
The Supervisory Board monitors and advises the foundation’s board, both upon request and on its own initiative. Each member effectively leverages their personal and professional networks when necessary to achieve the foundation’s goals. Like the board members, the members of the Supervisory Board do not receive any remuneration for their work for the foundation.
