opgegroeid.<br>\u00a0<br>Vanuit mijn bedrijfseconomische achtergrond heb ik in de financi\u00eble sector gewerkt en was ik geruime tijd als directielid verantwoordelijk voor een groot aantal economische opleidingen in het MBO. <br><br>Met de zorgsector heb ik kennis gemaakt vanuit mijn rol als lid van de raad van toezicht van de Zorgcirkel en bestuursvoorzitter van het Hospice in Middenbeemster.<br>\u00a0<br>Als voorzitter van Dorpswerk Noord-Holland ligt mijn hart bij alle dorpshuizen en dorpsraden in de kleine kernen van onze provincie, en ken ik de problematiek die daar speelt als geen ander.<br>\u00a0<br>Ruim 9 jaar ben ik actief in de lokale politiek als raadslid, fractievoorzitter, vicevoorzitter van de gemeenteraad, voorzitter van de vertrouwenscommissie en nu als lijsttrekker voor D66, de partij waar ik al bijna twee decennia lid van ben. In al die rollen is mijn inzet steeds geweest om de verschillen tussen de politieke partijen niet te vergroten, maar te overbruggen om te komen tot een constructieve samenwerking ten dienste van alle inwoners en bedrijven van onze gemeente, waar ze dan ook wonen of gevestigd zijn; Edam, de Zeevang of Volendam. Het kan namelijk wel!<br>\u00a0<br>Voor mij voelt D66 als thuiskomen want D66 is een sociaal-liberale partij die het individu en zijn of haar ontwikkeling centraal zet. De belangrijke thema\u2019s; een duurzame, veilige en economisch voorspoedige toekomst in een democratische samenleving gaan mij dan ook zeer aan het hart.\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--50 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--70 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--50  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--18 wrapper__width-desktop--22 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<section class=\"block-text-title\">\n\t<div class=\"block-text-title__title\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"heading  heading__color--black heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold  block-text-title__heading\" id=\"nav-1436\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"\">\n\t<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"block-text-title__content\">\n\t\t<p class=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-text-title__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1899,"featured_media":538,"menu_order":0,"template":"","search-tags":[29],"labels":[],"division-tags":[30,32],"class_list":["post-172","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","search-tags-fractie","division-tags-fractie","division-tags-kandidaten"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Edam-Volendam &#8212;
