Westhoff is from Genemuiden and has worked for the municipality of Zwartewaterland since 2018, in various positions and with a short interruption in 2023. In recent years she was an executive policy adviser. In that role she contributed, among other things, to the coalition agreement and to the council agenda, which has yet to be adopted.
She is a lawyer and, in addition to experience in public administration, has also worked in legal practice. From April to November 2023 she was council registrar of the municipality of Hattem.
"I know Zwartewaterland and the municipal organisation well. At the same time, working for the municipal council really is a different role. That is precisely what appeals to me," Westhoff says in a statement from the municipality.
According to the municipality, the employers' committee of the municipal council is pleased with the appointment. Chairman John Smits: "Ine Margriet knows local government well and brings legal and administrative experience with her."
The council registrar is the municipal council's first adviser and heads the council registry office, which supports the council and its members in their work. For residents of Hasselt, too, this is the point of contact: anyone who wants to get in touch with the council, address it during a meeting or put a topic on the council's table can turn to the registry office.
