Vera Dalm facilitates dialogue on sustainability and organizational issues.

With her administrative and political experience, Vera Dalm moves just as easily in administrative circles as during meetings with citizens, residents, employees or relations. She always ensures an open and relaxed atmosphere, so that participants can have a good conversation with each other. However, when it is necessary and important to achieve the goal of the session, she asks further questions and helps the participants to search together for real answers to their specific issue. Vera Dalm quickly knows how to clarify the essence of what the client expects and always reads thoroughly.

After ten years as director of Milieu Centraal, Vera Dalm became director of VBNE, the partnership of nature organisations, forest and nature area owners. She is also chair of the Supervisory Board of consultancy firm CLM (working on sustainable agriculture) and a member of the Supervisory Board of Landschap Noord-Holland. Vera was a member of the Van Aartsen Committee, which provided advice on the VTH system. She was also chair of the professional association of environmental professionals (VVM) and, at the request of the House of Representatives, she provided advice on the circular economy. She is now active as a programme manager at RIVM.

Vera Dalm regularly acts as chair and discussion leader. She is an expert in sustainability, circularity, biodiversity, food & climate and consumer behaviour. During an introduction, she can give inspiring examples of how you can effectively influence people to get started individually or within a community. But she is also passionate about themes such as innovation, organisational development or collaboration. Vera Dalm works with many working methods, a personal interview, a panel discussion, active workshop sessions or a large World Café.

‘With my involvement, substantive expertise and humor, I add value to an interactive meeting.’

VERA DALM IS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD OF SUSTAINABILITY AND HUMAN BEHAVIOUR

Vera Dalm studied Environmental Science and ‘Strategic Management of Public Organisations’. She has earned her stripes in the field of sustainability and climate and was included in Trouw’s Sustainable 100 for a number of years. ‘Whether you are working on the climate and biodiversity theme from the perspective of consumers, legislation and policy or from the field; every effort is needed to preserve our world. And preferably to transfer it better to future generations’. The audience remains active and fully involved, because she constantly walks into the room to collect reactions. ‘With Vera, there is no chance of falling asleep,’ a client remarked after a conference. Vera Dalm speaks Dutch, German (native) and English at an international working level and can therefore be deployed for international conferences.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT VERA DALM

We look back on a successful meeting. Partly thanks to the pleasant manner and with the right focus, in which you as chair guided us through the session. Thanks for that! I also understood from colleagues that it provided great insights into the collaboration with the board.

Hans Hoeijmakers

We look back on a successful event regarding ‘the sustainable message’ for which Vera Dalm provided an inspiring contribution. Her contribution, which was well aligned with the objective of the meeting, was experienced as particularly valuable.
