LTO Noord appoints Eisse Luitjens
Ms. Van Velde (Geborgd ongebouwd-VVD-CDA political party) will be replaced on the recommendation of LTO Noord. This is the appointing authority for this guaranteed seat on the water board.
LTO Noord has appointed Mr. Eisse Luitjens (71, Loppersum). Luitjens is well known to the water board. From 2015 until June 2023, he was a member of the general and executive board on behalf of the combined CDA-ChristenUnie-VVD faction.
Luitjens will take over Van Velde's entire portfolio. This includes water safety, sufficient and healthy water in the northern part of the working area, freshwater availability, and muskrat and beaver management.
As of November 12
During a brief meeting scheduled for November 12, the general board will decide on Luitjens' admission to the general board and on his membership as a temporary, substitute board member.
