Board

Hi! I’m Thomas Levendig, and I’m very excited to have the privilege of being the Chairman of Panache. I’ve only started playing badminton (again after an 7.5 year break) last year at Panache, and I immediately fell in love with both the sport and the club. I’m studying Industrial Design and love to make things (especially 3D printed things :)). In my first year at Panache I’ve already become active within a bunch of committees, like ToKo, ProCo and SpoCo (and many more). This year, as the 64th board, my main goal is to share my passion for Panache, and get more members actively involved in the club, from helping to release cool new merch, to organising the yearly Panache tournament!

Hello, I’m Joey van Leuken, and this year I’ll be serving as Panache’s vice-chairman. I’ve been playing badminton since I was eight years old. After taking a long break, I eventually found my way back to the sport, and I’m lucky I did so at Panache. I’ve enjoyed many joyful years. This will be my fourth and final year at Panache, which makes this year extra special to me. I want to give it my best, so that I can look back on my time at Panache and leave with peace of mind.

Hi, I’m Ilja, and I’m very happy to be the secretary of Panache. I’ve been playing badminton since I joined Panache in 2023, and I’ve stayed because I felt drawn to the community. That’s why I’m honored to have been given the responsibility of helping new Panache members experience that same sense of belonging.

Hello my name is Nicholas. I lived in South Africa for all my life, outside of one year in the UK, and the last year I’ve been in the Netherlands. I’m currently entering my second year studying Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy at Fontys. I started playing badminton when I joined Panache last year, and hope to be improving for the next year as well. I’ll now be the treasurer for Panache and hope to help the association both on and off the court. 🙂
