The member association Platform BK was founded in 2012 by Mariska van den Berg, Yvonne Grootenboer, Rune Peitersen, Jack Segbars and Yuri Veerman. The daily management is in the hands of a small core team that coordinates the programme with the board. Platform BK also works with a number of specialists.

Members
Because the base of the platform consists of a small group of people, the members around it are incredibly important. They actively participate in the platform, come up with ideas and make us financially independent. Anyone can become a member and thus have a say in the annual members’ meeting.
