With this medal of honour, the council expresses its appreciation for her long-standing and wide-ranging commitment to the city of Apeldoorn.<\/p>\n<p>Feng had been a member of Wittenborg\u2019s board since 2007 and played a key role in the university\u2019s development into an international educational institution with a strong presence in Apeldoorn. Under her leadership, Wittenborg became a major asset for the city, and she helped to raise Apeldoorn\u2019s profile as an international student city.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her work at Wittenborg, Feng was active in various social and economic networks. For example, she co-founded Topvrouwen Apeldoorn and served as a jury member for the Apeldoorn Business Awards for many years. She also holds positions at Rabobank as a member of the Members\u2019 Council and the Supervisory Board.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, she is committed to cultural and regional initiatives, including the Royal Light Festival and partnerships in the Stedendriehoek region, as well as international programmes such as Interreg and New Techpark.<\/p>\n<p>The municipality of Apeldoorn is praised for its wide-ranging social engagement, its role in bringing people together across various networks, and its ongoing commitment to the development of the city and the region.<\/p>\n<p>By awarding the Silver Medal of Honour, Apeldoorn expresses its deep appreciation for a contribution spanning many years, one that extends beyond a single organisation and is evident in the city\u2019s overall development.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div data-acfblock=\"Lijstblok-type-1\" class=\"section section--grey\">\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\r\n      <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-11 elementOnTop\">\r\n        <div class=\"editor__content-block editor__white-content-block\">\r\n<div class=\"editor\">\r\n<h2>The Silver Medal of Honour<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Silver Medal of Honour of the municipality of Apeldoorn was established in 1988.
