Centrepoint's New President Jan-Willem van Wijck - May 2024

Centrepoint is an English-language club in Basel with 600 to 700 members. Its new president, Jan-Willem van Wijck, is assuming leadership at a challenging time for membership-based clubs. The COVID pandemic pushed all of public life online, and groups that thrive on in-person connections and activities are trying to adjust by altering their activities and appealing to new members. We spoke with van Wijck about his plans to engage members and attract new members to Centrepoint through networking, socialising, professional development, and more evening events.
