The functioning of the Anglophone Section of the CSI, is funded by a parents' association known as the APESA (Association des Parents d'Eleves de la Section Anglophone de la Cité Internationale de Lyon), supervised by an elected Board of Parent-members.
The APESA is registered as a non-profit organization with the Préfecture de Police du Rhône (Ministry of Interior), and the Parent Board is the governing body for the Association under French laws.
The Board can have up to twelve elected members, half of whom are up for election every year. Each board member is thus elected for two years.
Each year, after the new board has been constituted, the twelve members elect the the four executive members of the Board.
The four executive positions in the Board are:
- President
- Vice-President
- Treasurer
- Secretary
The board meets regularly with the Senior Management team of the APESA to discuss and review the functioning of the section. Board meetings are held as often as needed, typically every six weeks.
In addition, committees are formed to address specific issues and to prepare the ground work for Board review and decisions.
Currently the following committees are active:
- Vision committee, looking at the long term strategy of the APESA
- Communication committee, in charge of creating effective communication to and from current and future members of APESA.
- Further Education committee, looking at the service we provide to help students make the right choices post BAC.
If you have any suggestions, enquiries, concerns that you would like to be brought attention to the board please contact us via the APESA office or send an email to the board
