I am an Australian expat and have been living in Amsterdam for the past 18 months. Since arriving, I have felt so welcomed and have met a wonderful group of women through the IWC. This has prompted me to join the board as Membership Officer. I like the idea of welcoming new members to our group as warmly as I was welcomed. Relocating can be a stressful time and I hope that I can relieve some of that stress for our new members by showing them around the city, introducing them to new people and recommending activities they might like to join, based on their interests.
