Jim Allen

Optimistic, realistic, team player

We live in challenging times, but the mutual trust needed to meet these challenges is sometimes hard to find. It doesn’t need to be this way. Much can be achieved if we look for opportunities instead of obstacles, for shared interests instead of antagonism. I joined M:OED because I believe that real change starts from the ground up. By engaging with fellow residents in an open, honest and realistic way, I believe that we can build a community where every voice matters. My passion for creating a city that prioritizes the well-being and prosperity of all its inhabitants drives me to actively participate in M:OED’s initiatives, knowing that together, we can contribute to making Maastricht an even better place to live.
