From 1993-2001 I was member of Genius, the Dutch netwerk for gay professionals, 3 years of which as member of the board and vice-chairman. In this period the board realized important changes in the structure of the association, among which growth in the number of members, the set-up of monthly meetings, the creation of Special Interest Groups and the admittance of female members.
I was also the founder of two Interest Groups, of which especially Promo is worth mentioning. On behalf of this group I organized one of the monthly meetings, with the theme Gay Marketing. This meeting was sponsored by 30 sponsors, with a total value of € 250 per participant.
The success of this meeting stood at the basis of my PhD Research “Marketing the Rainbow“.
