View MB composition 

We wanted to take this opportunity to explain to you how MB members are nominated and also to explain why these three individuals were nominated. 

How does the MB nomination process work?

As an investor lead association, the majority of the board is nominated by the Investor Advisory Council (IAC) and must be a representative of an investor member. Other proposed board members are nominated by the Management Board itself. We look for members who hold a senior management position and have an outstanding reputation in the industry.

The board should be a reflection of the INREV membership, by membership type, region and/or country. Ideally one MB member should be located in the Netherlands, for logistic and administrative purposes, given that INREV is legally a Dutch association. 

Also, a good understanding of INREV work, either via earlier involvements via committees, councils, events or training courses is an absolute bonus as this helps to support the team and drive the agenda. Ideally, we also look for individuals who have not previously served on the MB. 

The high prerequisites, that we set, do not make it an easy to find the right candidates, but ensure that we find the high caliber members that play an important role in steering the association forward.

Three fitting new members 

These three fitting candidates have been long standing members of INREV and have been actively involved in the activities of the association for many years through committees and councils and through presenting at events, and speaking at training courses. 

Amilcar and Jaap will be known to many of you through their active involvement in the development of the INREV Due Diligence Questionnaire, having both served as Chair of the INREV DDQ Committee. Jaap is currently on the Fund Manager Advisory Council and is a member of the new Operational Real Estate Committee. And Keith will be a familiar face to anyone who has been involved in the area of tax or who has come across the INREV Code of Tax Conduct, he also served for several years as Chair of the INREV Tax Committee. 

As an Investor, Amilcar was nominated by the Investor Advisory Council. Both Jaap and Keith, were nominated by the Management Board. Their track record and biographies speak for themselves and both Jaap and Amilcar are located in the Netherlands.
