Established in 1986, ACCESS is a not-for-profit organization committed to supporting
the International Community in The Netherlands. |
|
From humble beginnings, ACCESS has grown to become
a leading source of free, personalized information in English
for the International Community. Our offices in The Hague
and Amsterdam are staffed by an enthusiastic team of around
160 volunteers who have all experienced the relocation process
and are able to provide comprehensive
information and support, as well as empathizing with the experience
of individuals on all aspects of living and working
in The Netherlands.
In 2005 alone, ACCESS received over 20,000 enquiries and is
widely recognized as the primary source of free information
in English in The Netherlands. ACCESS is actively supported
by local authorities and government ministries, and provides
regular feedback to such bodies on the experiences and expectations
of the International Community living in The Netherlands.
ACCESS is governed by an Executive
Board made up of representatives from the
business community, community organizations and an Executive
Director responsible for overall management.
Additionally, ACCESS is recognized and supported by the Mayors
of The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, by several leading
Ambassadors and representatives from the commercial sector,
all of whom make up our Honorary
Board.
Each office has a Management
Team comprised of heads of departments. Each
Management
Team is responsible for the general organization
and administration of its office.
ACCESS is supported by both Dutch and International organizations
through donations and varying levels
of sponsorship, each providing benefits to the
sponsors in return.
