Ever since 1979, our president has been professionally closely involved in Bruges' heritage conservation, architectural projects and urban planning.<\/p>

From 2009, Ingrid Leye was head of Department of Monuments and Heritage Affairs of the city of Bruges. Since September 2015, on her retirement, she dedicates herself to Brugge Foundation. Her thorough knowledge of the Bruges\u2019 city centre and her technical expertise make Ingrid Leye the best chairperson Brugge Foundation could wish for. \n\nIngrid Leye studied architecture at Sint-Lucas Hogeschool (Ghent). She is alumna of the Raymond Lemaire Centre for Conservation, then at the College of Europe in Bruges.<\/p>

Her commitment to Bruges' patrimony also translates into her participation in the Consultative Commission for Urban Landscape (until today) and in the UNESCO Experts Commission for Bruges (until 2023) . \nIn 2014, she was appointed chairman of the jury for the Flemish Heritage Award, a mandate she held until the end of 2022.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Johan Debyser has lived and worked in Bruges since 1972. His attention and interest in Bruges' heritage date back to that time.<\/p>

The secretary of Brugge Foundation is an alumnus of KU Leuven (Law) and devoted his professional life to public service. From 1976 until his retirement in 2014, Johan Debyser worked for the federal and Flemish governor's departments. In 1991, he became district commissioner and from 2001 on he was the head of cabinet of governors Breyne and Decaluw\u00e9. In the latter position, he contributed to the realm of Bruges by upgrading the governor's residence.<\/p>

Asked why he is committed to the Brugge Foundation, Johan Debyser said: \n\"Bruges should be a modern, vibrant city with respect for its past. Brugge Foundation can become an instrument to give substance to this in a contemporary way.\" \nBrugge Foundation is proud of the commitment, dedication and expertise of our secretary. After all, who is better placed than him to support the Foundation's social interest with meticulous experience?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Eric Van Hove was born, worked, and lives in Bruges. He studied sociology, was a critical city journalist in Bruges from 1980 to 2000 and then made the move to the Bruges city council, first as head of cabinet of mayor Patrick Moenaert and then as the responsible person for the City\u2019s Urban Policy Department.<\/p>

His interests mainly focus on the livability of the city. Thus, he has been and still is formulating sustainable alternatives for the future.<\/p>

Since his retirement from office, he has been taking up his journalists\u2019 pen and remains aware of what is going on in and around the city. \n\nHis motivation for participating in the Brugge Foundation? \n\n,,Bruges is a monastic city, one-fourth of the historic city centre is religious heritage. But churches and monasteries are emptying. What happens to these ancient and valuable heritage sites? Surely you cannot leave their future to real estate developers. Finding new uses for old buildings, helping to outline a vision for the future, finding partners and allies to realize projectsf\u2026 that seems like an exciting challenge to me.\u201d \n\nUrgent too: the next twenty years will be crucially demanding for many heritage cities, as well as for Bruges. So, this concerns all Bruges\u2019 residents, and also people with a heart for Bruges.\"<\/p>

Since 1 November 2019, Eric Van Hove has been joining the Executive Board of Brugge Foundation as an extraordinary board member.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Guido Verhaeghe is a native of Bruges and currently lives in Damme. \nHe had an active career in the financial sector. He was active with several banks (including private banking) in various management positions and executive committees.<\/p>

Given his recent retirement and his interest and love for his hometown of Bruges, he wants to actively contribute to the future preservation of this fascinating and living city.<\/p>

Today, he wants to use his experience as a financial expert and manager as well as his network for the benefit of Brugge Foundation and its objectives. \nOr as he puts it himself, \"The motivation to engage for the Brugge Foundation is inspired from a day-to-day admiration and wonder for our heritage. After Jan Van Eyck's stay in Bruges in 1431, the epithet \"Brugensis\" is synonymous with artistic quality. We should cherish all those silent monumental witnesses of our glorious past. After all, Oscar Wilde said \" the only duty we have towards history is to rewrite it.... \" .<\/p>

Kristof Lataire calls himself a 'future explorer' of religious sites. Together with communities, he searches for the future of their parish church, monastery, abbey - in short, rich religious patrimony that is often heritage. This is why he founded Kapittel in 2018. Today, in a world searching for a new future for religious patrimony, Kristof Lataire wants to add real value. He brings people together around this complex issue, engages in conversation, conducts research and shares his expertise and experience.<\/p>
