Fwd: Funding DCI- NL

Funding ‘Stan Meuwese took over the chairmanship of the DCI-Netherlands board in 1988. He was working for the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports at the time and had experience in youth policy and juvenile justice. In 1991 the ministry was reorganising and gave him the opportunity to work full time for DCI-Netherlands. As of January 1992, he became the Executive Director of DCI-Netherlands. He stayed on until 2007. He was the first paid employee. In that way, the Dutch government, through the Ministry of Health, greatly contributed to the development of DCI-Netherlands. The subsidy of the Dutch ministry stopped in 1995 and the organisation had to look for other funds. It has been quite successful at that. DCI-Netherlands has grown slowly but steadily, with approximately one new paid employee per year over the last fifteen years.’
