Bas has been treasurer of EAGT since 1995, with a break of two years. Bas received his Gestalt training from the Noord Nederlandse Gestalt Organisatie, which he began in 1992 and finished in 1995. In those days it was a three-year training. His Gestalt education was very important to him because he learned there the value, to integrate sense and reason and bring them into balance with each other” Bas is self-employed and guides people in developing. On the one hand he uses the supervision method and on the other hand he uses the Gestalt method. He has merged both methodologies into the field theory. Bas is a licensed and registered supervisor at the LSVB (Landelijke Vereniging voor Supervisie & andere Begeleidingsvormen) and as a career developer at the CMI (Career Management Institute.) The tasks of Bas within the committee move between: • supporting the purpose of the EAGT and that what the activities bring along with them • helping to access the available resources. Both of these issues are interdependent and require a balance of attention. Bas frequently mediates, occasionally slows down, always take care and sometimes rejects what comes his way. Besides that, he intervenes within the EAGT.
