DCCQ Board Update 2026–27 — a new Board for the year ahead

Following the 2026 Annual General Meeting in June, the Dutch Chamber of Commerce Queensland has confirmed several changes to its Board for the year ahead.

Thank you, Ralph Vossenberg

After nine years of dedicated service, Ralph Vossenberg has stepped down as Treasurer. As a founding member of the Chamber — serving as President for the first seven years and as Treasurer for the last two — Ralph has been instrumental in bringing the Dutch and broader European communities together in Queensland.

The DCCQ sincerely thanks Ralph for his tireless commitment, leadership and passion over the past nine years.

Your Board for the year ahead

Kees Hertog has been re-elected as President of the DCCQ.

Sean Beattie, currently serving as Secretary, takes on the additional responsibilities of Treasurer and will continue supporting the Chamber in both capacities.

Aegir Brands, Andre Loodewijk and Paul Budde continue as Board Members, providing continuity and expertise across our programs and initiatives.

Looking ahead

The Board is committed to strengthening engagement with our members, shaping the strategic direction of the Chamber, and delivering meaningful value back to the Dutch and European business community in Queensland and beyond.

If you would like to get involved — whether that is joining us at an event, partnering with the Chamber, or simply sharing an idea — we would love to hear from you.
