Members’ Council committees

The Members' Council deals with many different topics and areas of focus. To give all these areas the proper in-depth attention they deserve, there are four committees.

On 1 January 2019, the Members' Council was established to replace Royal FloraHolland’s General Members' Meeting (GMM). To fulfil its duties effectively, the Members' Council has four committees. These committees delve into topics within their respective areas of focus. They prepare recommendations and decisions for the Members' Council. Where possible, they actively seek the opinions and wishes of members or consult experts. Final recommendations to the Management Board or decisions always come from the full Members' Council.
