Interim Executive Committee

The Interim Executive Committee was assembled in 2024, with the goal of overseeing a transitional phase of ESP, after founder and long-time chair of the partnership Dolf de Groot stepped down from his position. The resignation of the executive committee and inauguration of the interim executive committee took place at the ESP Europe 2025 Conference in Wageningen, the Netherlands.
