WHO
WE ARE
Yup, that's (some of) us!
As a whole, we are a happy, passionate, and
pro-active young group. Get to know our personal background in more detail below!
MEMBERS.
At TREATS there are two types of members: we have active members and punctual members. Active members commit by sharing their passion more regularly and also have a direct influence on the way the association is run. Punctual members, or as we like to say "pop-in members" are just as important but they share their passion in a less regular manner.
The commitment and enthusiasm of the TREATSquad is something that we are proud of, and we are happy to have a platform to share our positive energies and actions on!
Lauriane Boosten
Passion: Dance
Founder and President of the TREATS Association
With a Master in Humanitarian Project Management and a deep love for dance, Laurie could not be more happy and grateful to be a part of the initiative. As a strong believer in the general social power of sports, she hopes to co-develop a platform for people to feel good, and do good. The ultimate motivator is to play a role in improving the life of vulnerable children and empowering them by building their self-confidence and self-worth through the practice of passions.
Jessica Barbaranelli
Passion: Music
Co-President of the TREATS Association and Treasurer
Passionate about events and management, Jessica is our “event planner” and oversees the management of ongoing projects.
