Goodbye Leo Kroon, welcome Gert-Jan Steeneveld

January 1 marks the end of the second term of Leo Kroon as board member of the Harry Otten Foundation. In 2014 Leo became a Board member after the untimely death of chairman Hans Reiff. Leo served the Board from 2015 to 2020. During his second term he was chairman of the Board. From 2021 onwards Pamela Emch will chair the Board. She thereby starts her second three-year term on the Board. Leo’s successor as board member is Gert-Jan Steeneveld from Wageningen University, the Netherlands. Gert-Jan was a finalist in the 2017 Harry Otten Prize. He presently acts as session convenor at the EMS annual meeting. We wish Gert-Jan lots of success during his time on the Board.
