Lodewijk Govaerts to leave Board of Governors as of 1 April
As of 1 April 2025, Lodewijk Govaerts will be standing down from the Board of Governors due to other commitments that will demand a significant part of his time and attention within the foreseeable future. Govaerts does not want this to affect his ability to fulfil his role on the Board of Governors.
Govaerts is fond of Leiden University and has proven himself to be an expert and dedicated governor. He has held this role since December 2021 and has done so with great energy, enjoyment and focus. He also held the important role of chair of the Audit Committee. The Executive Board and the Board of Governors are most grateful to him for the valuable contribution he has made these past years.
The Board of Governors will start a procedure to fill the vacancy.
