Dirk van Toor
Vice-President
|
|
As a former army officer and presently a telecommuncations and IT developer, Dirk van Toor came to Minnesota 14 years ago to start a family
and a new career together with his wife Jocelyn.
By now we have two children, Winston and Suzanne and somewhere along the lines I started working for the State of Minnesota Bureau
of Criminal Apprehension.
We live on Saint Paul's West Side and have enjoyed hosting several NAAM events at our home.
I have been on NAAM's board of directors since 2004 and have in 2007 entered into my second three year term as a board member.
In my present capacity on the NAAM board, I perform logistic support for NAAM events, provide storage and keep the inventory of NAAM's goods and
assets other than the financial and human ones.
