Hi person reading this, my name is Justin. Originally from Curacao, I moved over to the Netherlands for studies. I’m a third-year International Business student (Somehow I’ve yet to fail a year). I’ve been part of the Panache community for over two years and It’s truly an honour to step into the Chairman position for the 2025-2026 season. I’m currently part of the Division 5 mens team and hopefully, like the year prior, we’ll make it to the Badminton Netherlands Finals! My goals for the board year are to make Merchandise more accessible (Panache Web shop ;o) and making it easier for newer members to integrate into our badminton community! If you see me on court, feel free to chat up a bit 🙂

To the dear Panachers, my name is Bradley Wong and I am your vice-chairman of this year’s board for Panache. I was born in Malaysia but raised in Qatar when I turned 6, where I lived in the desert nation for almost 12 years. I moved over to the Netherlands around 2 years ago to study Mechanical Engineering in TU/e. Here, I rediscovered my passion for badminton, and joined ESBV Panache the same year I started my study (2023), and ever since then, I’ve felt very connected with the association and the community: I began playing competition the following year and stepped into important committees such as the ToKo and the TOK, which became huge successes! With the opportunity to be a board member of this very association, I look forward to help Panache progress and improve, as well as helping members connect with each other to grow our community

Hello everyone, my name is Roxana Pașca and I am the secretary of Panache for this year. After doing karate for 10 years, I switched to badminton when I moved to the Netherlands in 2024. I joined Panache in September 2024, and immediately felt right at home. Throughout my first year in here, I fell in love with both the sport and the community. I am looking forward to continue helping this community thrive and help people discover the joy of badminton in the same way that I did.

Hi hello, my name is Michelle van den Hoorn and I am very excited to be this year’s treasurer of Panache. I’ve been playing badminton since I was just 8 years old and still love it today. When I joined Panache in 2024, I loved that there were activities and an amazing community alongside the badminton too. I want to help continue this in my board year and have a great time on court and beyond the net.

Hello Everyone, I am Ata Chaga and I’m excited and honored to step into the role of Chairman at Panache. Badminton has always been a big part of my life and joining this amazing community has only fueled my passion for the sport. Over the years, I’ve not only enjoyed playing but also connecting with fellow members, and now I look forward to leading Panache into an exciting new chapter. My goal is to ensure that everyone, from newcomers to long-time members feels welcome and valued. Together we can continue to grow both as players and as a community

Hello everyone, My name is Luc Broeders, originally from Curaçao, and I’ve been a part of Panache for the past year. During this time, I’ve rediscovered my passion for badminton, and I’m eager to contribute to the growth and success of our association. This is why I’m excited to step into the role of Vice-Chairman. Along with being a very competitive player, I enjoy connecting with our diverse members and building strong relationships within the community. I believe that, together with the board, we can make the upcoming year both memorable and successful for everyone involved. I’m looking forward to working with all of you and helping the association thrive.

Hello fellow Panachers. My name is Tycho Brouwer and I am the secretary of this year’s Panache board. I was first invited to play badminton at Panache in early October 2023 after which I started to love not only the sport but also the people and activities at the association. As a board member, I am looking forward to helping the association improve and giving other people the same enjoyable environment to find a new hobby.

Hello there, I’m very excited to be the treasurer of Panache for the coming year. I’ve been playing badminton throughout high school and when I started my studies at TU/e in 2023 I decided to join Panache. I felt very welcome here and became more and more active within the association over the year. I don’t only enjoy playing badminton here but also doing fun activities with fellow members! I hope to make you feel as much welcome as I did last year!
