Netherlands Chapter

My name is Julia Jelińska, I am the Chair of the LEAD Network Netherlands Chapter and I would like to tell you about our purpose and how we realise it through our activities. Freedom, equality and respect! These are the human rights and the values that I stand for and stand up for. Making a change in the world and ensuring these rights for everyone motivates me to pursue this goal actively and not to give up! The LEAD Network Netherlands Chapter Board held its first kick-off meeting in December 2017, and since then the Committee has been working on the delivering their strategy and plans for the Members and Corporate Partners of the Chapter. Since the creation of the LEAD Network Netherlands Chapter, the member base grew from 300 to over 600 members from more than 100 companies, including representatives of Corporate Partners of the LEAD Network present in the Netherlands. This region represents one of LEAD Network’s largest local Chapters. I look forward to meeting you at one of our events as well as in-between them.
