Housing company Zetus has a new chairwoman: Liesbeth Verhaeghe takes over from Philip Konings. Fabienne Maes, councilor of Knokke-Heist, remains vice-chairwoman.

Liesbeth Verhaeghe, the newly appointed chairwoman of Zetus, intends to first focus on understanding the organization's internal operations. She aims to familiarize herself with the employees, processes, and challenges to collaboratively build a strong operation that serves tenants and prospective tenants.
The new chairwoman emphasizes the importance of listening and learning. She plans to continue investing in reducing waiting lists for social housing, given the ongoing demand for affordable and quality homes. Accessibility for citizens is also a high priority.
