Career

Vedder-Wubben was born in the Hague on 20 May 1951.[2] She attended the Hogere Burgerschool in Rijswijk. She subsequently studied to become an actuary. She spent her career in the field of actuarial science and pension advisement.[2]

Vedder-Wubben became politically active for the Christian Democratic Appeal in The Hague.[1] She subsequently became member of the Senate for the party, serving from 10 June 2003 until 7 June 2011.[3] In 2010 a government plan to cut the Algemene Ouderdomswet partner allowance was likely to fail in the vote in the Senate, with Vedder-Wubben devising a new plan from which the government went ahead.[4]
