Jelte Jansen

Jelte Jensen

Statement of interest:

As some of you hopefully still know, I already have experience of being in the PC, having had the honour of serving as a member from 2016 to 2018. My motivation remains the same, and I would love to keep up the great quality of the plenary program, and see if we can make it even better. Additionally, having been both on and off, I think I have an additional goal, which is to improve the PC nomination process, and both general diversity and age diversity within the PC. I will duly note here that I am a white western male approaching the second half of the average
lifespan. But hey.
