On Saturday, 9 December, in Nieuwegein, Utrecht Province, the Royal Dutch Baseball Softball Federation (KNBSB) Congress elected Gregor Rossen as its new President as part of a new Federal Board.
Rossen, a Senior Portfolio Manager Alternatives at Aegon Asset Management, has worked as a coach and executive for the Dutch clubs TIW Survivors and Amsterdam Capitals.
Elliott Rivera was elected Treasurer. The Board includes Simone Willemse, Nicole van de Graaf, Garmt Kolhorn and Paul van Kimmenaede.
The new Board was proposed by a selection committee chaired by Diana Remmers. The clubs approved almost unanimously.
Before the vote, the Supervisory Commission chair Jan Kuipers said that Dutch Baseball and Softball now needs "a connection" between the Board and the clubs.
