AGM, EGM: Take part in your Section’s Governance As engaged parents, we naturally focus much attention on our children: how are they doing? How is school going? How are their classes? etc. We don’t necessarily preoccupy ourselves with strategic questions about the American Section of the Lycée. But the Annual General Meeting on
November 19th at 8:00 p.m. brings us all together to hear about the state of the Section and the future of our children’s education. There are many demands on your time for different needs concerning your children. However, once a year the Section’s Board of Trustees needs your participation to join in the governance of the American Section. At the AGM each year, parents approve the current year’s budget as well as appoint new officers. In 2012 we have another important request for the Section members. This year we are holding an Extra-ordinary General Meeting, because the Board is proposing a number of changes to the Section’s bylaws to improve governance and operations. For this meeting to be valid, one-third of all Section children must be represented. I encourage you to join us on the 19th; if your schedule does not permit you to do so, please arrange to have another Section family present your proxy. On behalf of the American Section Board of Trustees, Beth Heudebourg President
