The board of the tenants’ organization WijWonen Delft consists of six to eight part-time board members. We are all still students and are committed to ensuring comfortable housing for everyone who rents from DUWO Delft. We have weekly meetings at our monumental office building at Papenstraat 20W and spend several hours a week fulfilling our duties.
Every six weeks, we have a meeting with DUWO to discuss advisory requests, policy changes, major issues, finances, and other matters. At the national level, we work together with our sister organizations in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Leiden, and Delft. Here, we write “DUWO-wide” advisory requests and discuss DUWO’s overall policies.
