Autorenporträt
Hendrik Slegtenhorst's executive and senior management work has been for local governments, post-secondary education, and heritage institutions, and on board directorships for cultural, community, and economic development. In addition to his work as a writer, speaker, columnist, and editor, Slegtenhorst has held corporate appointments in project management, information technology, and human resources. Soon after being brought to life in Rembrandt's university city of Leiden in the Netherlands, his parents emigrated to Canada, where, by design, Slegtenhorst has worked in its largest cities-Ottawa, Montréal, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver-and many of the country's smaller communities. He has also worked in the United States, Europe, and Africa, and resides in Vancouver, Canada.
