This
is the local pivotal body of the alliance and lays down the parameters
for development of the institution. It is this body which undertakes the
civil and penal responsibilities of the association and which determines
the overall functioning, in accordance with the agreements entered into
with the MEA.
The freedom enjoyed by these committees in the elaboration and implementation
of their plans confers upon them a great deal of autonomy which is conducive
to relations with French enterprises dealing with an international public.
More and more agreements entailing well-defined programs allows for a
closer association amongst the French and foreign staff within these enterprises.
Every year, these programs are subjected to a financial audit conducted
by an independent chartered accountant.
The General Assembly is convened at least once every year. It is made
up of all the registered members of the association as on the day of the
convocation. The general assembly appoints one or several statutory auditors
independent of the Governing Body and can be re-elected every year. Through
a secret vote, it also elects Committee members for a period of two years
and the committee in turn, through a secret ballot nominates a Board,
comprising a President, two Vice-Presidents, a Secretary, a Joint Secretary
and a Treasurer. The activities undertaken within the scope of these functions
are not remunerated. The cases wherein the Director has been appointed
by the French Government, he automatically becomes a member of the board,
in an advisory capacity without voting rights. The committee meets at
least four times a year.
