Board and Committees

The Board
The board of 2022-2023 is the 82nd board of Hucbald, under the name ‘À Volonté’.
The 82nd board consists of five members:

Jeroen Henderix – Chairman
This year Jeroen Henderix is the chairman of Hucbald.
All the way from Den Bosch he comes to update you on hip-hop, jazz and funk, but also on food, drinks, poetry and abstract art.
His secret weapons are his questions and his answers to questions he once asked himself. So stop by and ask him something about himself, like his work as a bartender at theaters.
Just don’t mention musicals…

Annelotte Marechal – Secretary
Annelotte Marechal is the secretary of Hucbald this year. She grew up in a small village in Brabant. Her hobbies are Karate, going to concerts and festivals! Interesting is that she does not play any instrument.
Due to the book “1001 Albums you must have heard” Annelotte has gotten familiar with musicology. For questions about activities, the board and social media you can come to her.

Judith Wijers – Treasurer
Judith Wijers is this years treasurer for Hucbald. Being born in Berlin, she is the only not fully Dutch board member, but luckily being a Hucbladian almost counts as its own nationality. 
Going into this year with earlier experience in the Studyrip Committee, she is looking forward to all the activities other committees will organise for Hucbald this year. Judith is easily convinced to have a drink at the pandje or to dance away her energy and sing away her voice when going out. 
Overall, she is looking forward to this year as board member and is always happy to help in any situation.

Anne Goorhuis – Commissary of Internal and Educational Affairs
This year, Anne Goorhuis is Hucbald’s Commissioner of Internal & Education. A proud Amsterdam native who went to study in Utrecht against everyone’s expectations, but she is having a mega fun time here with fellow Hucbaldians. 
She is always up for a game of cards, visiting museums, discovering new music, speaks a word of Italian, and loves going out with friends. You can always approach Anne for a friendly chat and anything to do with studying.

Floris Luijendijk – Commissary of External Affairs
Let me introduce you to the Commissary of External Relations, Floris Luijendijk. Proudly born in the city of Leiden, you can always wake him up for a meal of hotchpotch (hutspot), and he’ll gladly talk about the ‘sleutelstad’.
He is also very passionate about the blues, Norse mythology and his amazing band called Rochel. If you have a question about any of these subjects, then he’ll certainly have an answer most of the time. So please stop by once in a while, and you can ofcourse always ask him other questions as well!

Committees
Hucbald would be nowhere without our amazing members and the committees they take place in!
Hucbald has seven committees and a band.

Alumni Committee – This committee is always busy with the alumni from Musicology in Utrecht, and makes sure Hucbald stays in touch with them.

They also organise a ‘Bedrijvendag’, a day where we visit companies or institutions where alumni are currently working.

They take care of the sponsors, mobilise the orchestra and look for choir members.
