2019"There was a case of imposter in other 2019 . The Royal FloraHolland Management Board directly informed the Finance Committee of the Members ' Council . That ’s when I knew that the Members ' Council was being taken severely . The Management Board experience us as an important player . "

" The most of import object lesson I learn last year is to always guess critically . That means that you should n’t just blindly accept whatever the Management Board or the Supervisory Board says . We are here for and on behalf of our members . Our core task as a Members ' Council is to constitute them . "

2020"I am apprehensive about Floriday , both personally and as a Members ' Council extremity . There are still too many idle ends in the hard-nosed writ of execution , when it comes to creating delivery forms , for example . The auction bridge ’s kinship with the software program providers is still far from idealistic . "

" I ’m glad that I can cut that length between cultivator and the Management Board as a Members ' Council fellow member . I cognise what mold in pattern and what does n’t . My New Year ’s resolution is to become even more visible to our extremity as a Members ' Council member . We are here for you . So if you need anything , call us or send us an email ! "

Marco Mol | Mol FreesiaMembers ' Council Committee : scheme

2019"In the past twelvemonth , the Royal FloraHolland Management Board asked us for advice on multiple occasions . About sustainability , for example . As Members ' Council , we gear up conditions with our interests as growers necessitate priority . Sustainability is important , but it has to be viable . This advice was taken into account when the net policy was formulated . That is the strength of the Members ' Council , in my view : we comprise the cultivator . The cooperation between craft chopine Blueroots and Floriday was also an important moment of 2019 , if you ask me . "

2020"Next year will be very exciting due to the creation of the nationwide auction clock . How do we ensure an optimum sales position for our growers ? That is one of my top priorities for 2020 . The biggest problem is that everyone has a dissimilar vista . This means that the Members ' Council ca n’t make all members 100 % happy . That is why we seek to do what ’s best for everyone . I have faith that we will be able to do that , because the Members ' Council is a near mental representation of the cooperative . Everyone ’s interests are talk over . "

Rieneke van der Houwen | Amaranthos FlowersMembers ' Council Committee : Member involution

2019"On behalf of our members , I cogitate and work towards a hard co-op . That feed me a lot of energy ! Every Members ' Council member takes on their role base on their own expertness . It took us a slight while to realise that . Confidence has increased greatly in the group over the class . "

" My knowledge of communication and day-by-day pattern as a grower issue forth in handy . I was involved in the organisation of Cooperative Day , amongst other things . It was a nice first variant of Cooperative Day , although there is always room for melioration , of form . I am proud that I , as a grower and a Members ' Council member , can be the data link between our cultivator and the organisation . "

2020"Royal FloraHolland is worthful to us all . Still , I ’m worried about the understructure of support for our cooperative . That is why I ’m going to do my good to make our member truly find this engagement . To make them believe in it . And it pass without saying that the organisation needs to make this . With our current Management Board , and of course our effort as the Members ' Council , I am confident that we can accomplish this . I trust this is say even well in 2020 . The cooperative consist of all of us together . "
