Board 2022/2023
Chair: Daniëlle Smit
Secretary: Carolijn van de Vliert
Treasurer: Julia van Lingen
Commissioner Internal: Joline Witjes
Commissioner of competition: Margo Schippers
The 43rd board is pleased to introduce itself to you:
Daniëlle Smit:
My name is Daniëlle Smit, I am currently 20 years old and I get to be the president of ‘t Haasje this year. After finishing my first year of administration at ‘t Haasje last year with great success (even if I say so myself), I decided to just add another year. I am currently in my third year of studying Pedagogical Sciences of Primary Education and this is also the third year I have been a member of ‘t Haasje. Before this I have never set foot on an athletics track, so I am still learning new things about this beautiful sport every day. Hopefully I will learn many more things during my board year, both in athletics and in the tricky area of keeping an association running. In training, I can be found mainly in the throwing events and I have also definitely set my sights on being able to attend sprint training again.
Besides athletics I like to read a good book and drink coffee until I reach my daily tax. Sometimes I try my luck on the tennis court, as I have been playing this sport for more than 10 years.
I am incredibly looking forward to my board year and I am sure I can make it a fun year with my fellow board members as well! Above all, I hope to see you all at the trainings and at the activities and if you ever feel like chatting or you have a question, don’t hesitate to app me or email me at voorzitter@haasjeatletiek.nl. See you soon!
Carolijn van de Vliert:
My name is Carolijn van de Vliert, I am 20 years old and I get to be the secretary of our beautiful association this year. This is my third year at ‘t Haasje. Last year I was on the training weekend committee, but this year I wanted to get even more involved in the association and just do lots of fun things. Before joining ‘t Haasje, I did gymnastics and trampoline jumping for a long time. When I moved to Nijmegen I decided it was time for a new sport. I found that new sport in athletics, because what could be more fun than running really fast? I do not have much athletics experience, but this allows me to keep improving myself (relatively easily), which keeps me motivated to train. I mainly train with the sprint group, but I am planning on joining the technical group this year. After training I prefer to warm up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a good book.
Then some more facts about me: I grew up in Twente and I feel completely at home in the east of the country. I love playing games and reading books. Besides my board year, I am also studying law, but I don’t want to become a lawyer. By the way, my board believes I have no backbone, so if you have a fun or crazy plan and are looking for people to join: you can always try to persuade me 🙂
Besides training regularly on the track, I can also be found at all the get-togethers, activities and haasjehaps. I hope to see you all there as well and if you have any questions or comments, or just want a good chat, talk to me before! Furthermore, you can always app or email me at secretaris@haasjeatletiek.nl
Julia van Lingen:
Hello, I am Julia, 24 years old and your treasurer. I have been at ‘t Haasje since February 2022 and this is also where my athletics experience began. I participate in the sprint group here. I also play field hockey and go to the gym regularly.
If you have any questions about competition clothing or money related issues, please email: penningmeester@haasjeatletiek.nl.
Joline Witjes:
I am Joline, 21 years old and this year I fulfill the position of commissioner internal within the 43rd board of ‘t Haasje #bestfunction.
Originally I come from beautiful Pannerden, a village so small that nobody knows it, but I have been a proud resident of even more beautiful Nijmegen for two years now. So this year is already my third year at ‘t Haasje. After more than two years I am still trying to find what I like to do and what I can do ;), I often do a bit of everything, but in general I can be found in the sprint group. I’ve been around the sport before, I used to do athletics as a child.
Before I joined the board I was an active member of the media committee, so I enjoy taking pictures and keeping the socials within ‘t Haasje up to date.
I am also studying nursing, where I still have one and a half year to go until I can call myself a nurse. At competitions you can sometimes see me with a first aid bag on my back.
This year I am responsible for a number of fun committees and hope for a successful year with these committees, but of course with all members! I hope to see you at the trainings, but of course also at the drinks and activities! If you have any questions about a committee or activity, please mail to commissarisintern@haasjeatletiek.nl.
Margo Schippers:
I am Margo, your competition commissioner for this year. I am 21 years old, originally from beautiful Twente but have been living in Nijmegen for over 3 years now. I am in my 4th and hopefully last year of the ALPO (combo between pedagogical sciences at the RU and pabo at the Han). Meanwhile I’m already in my 3rd year at ‘t Haasje. You can find me at the sprint/horns and the technical group. Of course you can also find me at all the activities. Feel free to talk to me because I’m always in for a nice chat!
