The Supervisory Board is pleased to announce that Ilse van de Pas will take over the role of director from Ruud Rabelink from 15 August. Ilse will form a collegial board with André Gehring to realise SintLucas’ ambitions together with the management and all employees. Ruud Rabelink chooses a new phase in his life after 37 years at SintLucas.
Van de Pas has a broad background in higher vocational education. She started at Fontys as director of the Avans-Fontys Legal College and has been responsible for Fontys’ economic, creative and sports domain in Tilburg since 2018. She studied Law and Economics at Utrecht University.
With her switch, Van de Pas consciously chose a new environment in which creativity and craftsmanship are central. Ilse: “It is a wonderful challenge to contribute to the future of young creative talent. SintLucas has a strong profile and I look forward to further building on that position together with students, pupils, staff and partners.”
Huub Dekkers, chairman supervisory board SintLucas: “We have found in Ilse someone with a clear vision, who knows how to connect and gives people space in the process. We look forward to her arrival and wish her every success.”
André Gehring: “Ilse has a long past in (creative) vocational education and she knows the region and the creative industry. With her experience, enthusiasm and innovative drive, she can put our vmbo and mbo even more firmly on the map and, together with me, steer the realisation of Vision 2027 Creating Opportunities.”
We warmly welcome Ilse to SintLucas.
