Last fall, the board of the Friends of CODART foundation said farewell to Rob Vellekoop. Earlier this year, the board also welcomed two new members: Dorien ter Haar and Michiel Scherpenhuijsen Rom.

Rob Vellekoop joined the Board of the Friends of CODART Foundation in 2012. He is a passionate art collector of Dutch and Flemish old masters and has been a Patron of the Friends of CODART since 2010.

Michiel Scherpenhuijsen Rom has worked in various capacities in financial services since the early 1990s in the UK and the Netherlands. He currently runs his own advisory firm. He also has a keen interest in classical music and Dutch art. He and his wife have been Patrons of CODART since 2019.

Dorien ter Haar fulfilled a number of communications roles on various continents. She studied in the United States, where she received degrees in Art History and Business Administration. Back in The Hague, she worked at Royal Dutch Shell before starting as a freelance communications advisor. Dorien ter Haar has been a Patron of CODART since 2020.

We warmly thank Rob Vellekoop for his much appreciated efforts, and we look forward to working with the newly appointed board members.
