As of January 1, 2025, Paul Rosenmöller has been appointed as interim chairman of the Supervisory Board of Mental Health Caribbean (MHC). He replaces the members of the Supervisory Board who were in office until the end of 2024. His main task, in addition to supervision, is to guide the procedure for the appointment of a completely new Supervisory Board.
The previous Supervisory Board consisted of chairman Jurenne Hooi and members Don Olthof, Theo de Kool, Giullitta Anthony and Gerald Simmons – de Jong. This board collectively stepped down from office on December 31, 2024.
Why a new Supervisory Board?
In the past period, the Supervisory Board has reflected on the development of MHC. They have noted that the organization has developed into a professional organization that employees, management and the Board can be proud of. This marks an important moment: MHC is ready for the next phase of its development. An important first step in this was the appointment of a new director-manager. A well-functioning Supervisory Board remains crucial to support the new director and to guide the further growth of MHC.
To make room for this transition, the entire Supervisory Board has decided to make its position available. This decision was in line with the fact that three members of the Supervisory Board had reached the end of their second term, making succession necessary. This offers a unique opportunity to put together a new Supervisory Board, guided by an interim chairman, that fits in with MHC’s future plans. The Supervisory Board has appointed a new interim chairman for this task, Paul Rosenmöller.
