“I didn’t do anything on my own, always together with others,” says Jetta Klijnsma in her farewell interview as King’s Commissioner in Drenthe. She is passionate about collaboration and connection.
Klijnsma sees himself as a bridge between Drenthe and The Hague. During her work for the province of Drenthe over the past eight years, she was also in The Hague one day a week on average. On the tricycle to ministries, state secretaries and ministers to advocate the Drenthe or Northern cause. ‘Paving the way’ for deputies, residents and politicians who wanted to achieve something for Drenthe or the north.
