Almost 60 years of family culture

On November 1, 1964, Mans Lejeune founded 'Bureau Le Jeune' as a one-person company providing secretarial and lobbying services to a small number of European associations. The company quickly grew into a fully service-oriented secretariat agency for national and European industry associations. In 2002, our company was named 'Lejeune Association Management.' With a small, experienced, and enthusiastic team of employees and partners, Lejeune embodies the family culture of loyalty, engagement, and flexibility that is characteristic of the small and medium-sized business sector and the associations it represents.

Our Mission

At Lejeune Association Management, our mission is to professionally support small and medium-sized national and European industry associations and collaborations in achieving their short, medium, and long-term objectives. We do this by providing tailor-made 'secretariat management' at a strategic, executive, and administrative level.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be the 'preferred partner' for our target audience regarding strategic development, project management, and operational support.

Lejeune contributes to a sustainable world

By relieving trade organisations of their daily basic provisions and guiding them with a future-oriented strategy, we ensure a more connected and sustainable world. In this way, we also actively assist our clients in deploying the SDGs within their sector.

The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals or Sustainable Development Objectives) are seventeen goals to make the world a better place by 2030. The SDGs were agreed upon by the countries affiliated with the United Nations (UN), including the Netherlands. The goals were established based on global input from organisations and individuals.

The Sustainable Development Goals started in 2015 and run until 2030. They serve as a global compass for challenges such as poverty, education, and the climate crisis.

Behind the seventeen goals are 169 targets. These make them even more concrete.

Lejeune Association Management creates value by consciously choosing one Sustainable Development Goal in which the organisation can achieve maximum impact. Our organisation specialises in managing trade organisations with an annual budget ranging from €75 thousand to €1 million. The primary role of a trade organisation can be divided into 4 pieces:

• Bundling forces
• Advocacy of collective interests
• Sharing knowledge with members
• Workshops and training

Therefore, Lejeune Association Management will focus on: SDG 17, Partnership for the Goals.

SDG 17 states that collaboration is necessary to enhance the capacity and resources to implement the sustainable development agenda. Achieving the goals requires coherent policy, a cooperative environment, and the establishment of new (global) partnerships.

Targets within SDG17 where Lejeune Association Management contributes concretely are target 17.14 and 17.16.

17.14, Enhance policy coherence for sustainable development.
17.16, Strengthen the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, supplemented by multi-stakeholder partnerships and mobilising and sharing knowledge, expertise, technology, and financial resources with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
