Three focus points
The 20th board

Chairman
Tijmen Massier
BioMedical Engineering
Track: Neuromusculoskeletal Biomechanics
I am Steven de Munck, As the chairman of this year’s board, I am responsible for group cohesion. I also play a key role in helping the board set targets and goals on both personal and group levels. Furthermore, I am tasked with keeping an eye on the planning and policies throughout the year, serving as the first point of contact in the association. In September, I started with the Medical Physics track of Biomedical Engineering. In addition to my academic pursuits, I decided to join AvL’s 19th board.

Secretary
Rutger Mayer
BioMechanical Design
I am Paul van der Valk, the secretary of board 19 of AvL. Not only am I the one keeping the whole study association up to date through e-mail, I also write the monthly newsletter. I make notes of every meeting to make sure everyone is able to look up import mentions during these sessions. As a first year BMD student I am also easily reachable for my fellow students and always up for professional and fun activities with my board.

Treasurer
Nina de Bruin
BioMechanical Design
I am Per van Wolfswinkel. As treasurer, I manage the money, keeping account of what we spend and receive over throughout the year. I am responsible for setting up the annual budget and accounting operations, keeping track of acquisition and making sure all financial matters run smoothly. My biggest priorities are ensuring full transparency regarding AvL’s finances and strategic budgeting to ensure AvL’s sustained growth in the years to come.

Commisioner of internal affairs
Laura van der Hart
BioMedical Engineering
Track: Medical Devices
I am Lieke, commissioner of internal affairs of board 19 of AvL. My job is contacting students and members, answering their questions regarding both educational and social matters. I also make sure our members are excited about activities. Besides the secretary's newsletter, we'll use Brightspace, Instagram, LinkedIn, the website, and Whatsapp.

Commisioner of external affairs
Belle Loogman
BioMechanical Design
I am Niels, the Commissioner of External Affairs of AvL from the BioMechanical Design (BMD) side. Together with Sanne, we are responsible for the acquisition of the study association to ensure adequate funding for all activities. Besides that, we are working on building a bridge between the students of AVL and interesting companies. This will help students find internships and create possibilities for their future careers. As a first-year BME student, I will be in contact with companies involved in the medical technology sector.

Committees
AvL has 3 active committees that all carry very different tasks. These committee members all commit 1 year to fulfilling these tasks. In addition, the committees consist of fun groups that also do a lot of fun things together! When composing the committees, an attempt is made to have an even split between BME and BMD students. The committees are all supported by 2 board members of AvL.

Studytour
The Studytour is a committee, of 6 members, responsible for a study tour that takes place during the summer. Throughout the year, this committee is busy planning this trip. This involves finding interesting locations for the trip, contacting local companies for company visits, and filling the planning of the trip with fun activities. In the summer of 2024, the trip went to Estonia and Latvia, a very successful trip with many interesting visits and a fun group that undertook fun activities together!

Eduboard
The Eduboard committee handles all educational matters of AvL, their main task being the feedback of the courses. Nowadays, the study association is not allowed to send surveys to students but nevertheless, it is very valuable to get feedback in order to improve education. The Eduboard therefore organizes panels at the end of each quarter in which the content of the courses, the structure of the courses, the learning objectives, the teacher, and all other topics can be discussed. The Eduboard committee consists of 5 or 6 members.

Activity committee
The activity committee is dedicated to fun activities for our members throughout the year! The activities committee consists of 5 members on average and changes every six months. A few examples of activities organized by or with the AC:
A beerpong tounament, dancing class, lasertag, a Pub quiz, ect. In summary, a very nice group of people who radiate their enthusiasm on the activities they organize!
