The Annual General Meeting is an essential event in the life of the Alliance Française of Pondicherry.
The recent meeting was held on August 26, chaired by Dr. Nallam in the presence of Mr Rene Marollier, Deputy Consul, Mr Michel Houdayer, Director, the members of the Executive Committee and general members of the Alliance Française.
The President presented a general report and pointed out how the Alliance Française of Pondicherry has an important place in India and worldwide with its history, its reputation, the quality of its courses and programs. He paid warm tribute to the Director and thanked him for the leadership and discipline and dedication he has shown to maintain the excellence and reputation of the institution.
The Director presented the activity report and the financial statement of 2009-2010. It comes out clear from these reports that the Alliance Française is a thriving institution and has financial reserves, which suggests its further development with equanimity. Members took part in debates and comment on the report as well as decisions taken by the Alliance leadership.
The director answered to various questions and then presented the changes that were made to some articles of the statutes. These changes were approved unanimously.
