Appointment of Laurien Timmermans to the Executive Board
The Supervisory Board of ArtEZ University of the Arts is pleased to announce that Laurien Timmermans has been appointed as temporary member of the Executive Board, effective 20 June 2025.
Laurien was already appointed as an advisor in March this year to support the interim Executive Board. With this appointment, she will – together with the President – help ensure a smooth transition period. This will give ArtEZ the space to carefully work towards a permanent and future-proof composition of the board. The new Executive Board is expected to be in place by early 2026.
Laurien Timmermans has been appointed for the period from 1 July 2025 to 1 May 2026.
The Supervisory Board is grateful that Laurien is willing to temporarily join the Executive Board. Her appointment brings valuable knowledge, expertise and experience within ArtEZ to the board – which is of great importance for the continuity of the organisation. The Executive Board will provide a separate update regarding the succession of Laurien Timmermans in her current role as Managing Director of the Academy of Music in Arnhem and Zwolle.
We wish Laurien every success in her new role.
On behalf of the Supervisory Board,
Louise van Deth
