FLAIRS Committee
FLAIRS is the annual interbank event. You organize this amazing event together with the members of youth associations of other major banks. In 2021, a digital edition was organized in which networking, collaboration and personal development were the core theme. During FLAIRS we zoom in on what concerns you as a young banker, the influence you can exert on your own work and on your future. In addition we always discuss the future of the banking sector. Within the FLAIRS committee you will work on your sales skills, know what is happening behind the scenes, discuss on a high level with other young bankers from various backgrounds, nothing is too crazy, dare to ask and help organize the first physical FLAIRS meeting after the COVID-19 period. Next year we are looking for people who would like to collaborate with other banks and who come up with innovative ideas to make FLAIRS 2022 an unforgettable event again! Can't wait to get acquainted with other banks, to think along about major themes that keep us as young professionals within the bank busy? Sign up for this committee now!

Meet Your Company!
Did you know that Rabobank owns more than 20,000 works of art and there is also an 'art affairs' department? No? For example, there are many more departments that are less known within the bank. In order to introduce Jong Rabo members to the amazing departments that Rabobank has to offer, we have set up a new committee: Meet your company.
Where previously the Business Change Committee organized panel sessions with Rabobank’s board members, this committee takes a broader approach. In addition to sessions with GD members, you organize activities where our members get to know Rabobank better and increase their network within various departments. You will also discuss important themes within these departments. Take Future of Work for example: What do encounter as young professionals working from home and what skills do you need to be future proof? The Panel committee has organized sessions around these themes in the past few years and next year we will have the themes reflected in the activities Meet your company will organize. In other words: Do you and your committee members want to ensure that we talk to various different departments and ensure that Jong Rabo members can join in discussions on important topics? Then you've at the right place within the Meet the company committee.
The Meet Your Company! consists of:
- Deepika Kumari Dashrath
- Ben Olthuis
- Sonam Singh
