Some of you use the designations "National Board", "National
President" or "International President".
I understand the expectations of such use.
I would point out that the Board as the President, have the title of
"Board of the Académie Culinaire de France", “President of the
Académie Culinaire de France" for all members wherever they live in
the world.
By its statutes the Académie Culinaire de France, lives in oligarchy;
Emerites and Titulaires members represent all members. They elect a
Board and a President who manages the Académie Culinaire de
France.
The Board and the President report on their activities at the General
Meetings.
To ensure an effective run of the Académie Culinaire de France, the
President, in some countries, has given delegation. The Auditor
member is then “Delegate President” and his responsibilities are
reflected in the statutes.

OTHER TPOPICS:
Marc Foucher:
1) Why does the Admission Committee refused to recognize Mr. Christian DUBOIS as a
member Auditor while have just been accepted as such Mr. QUINAUT which has the same
profile, occupies a comparable position and works in the same company.
Answer:
The Board has registered the request. Being part of the Commission, the Board can not stay
the decision of this Commission. The rule to follow is to write to the Commission and the file
will be represented at the next Commission.
2) Why such an animosity against us for 3 years. This situation is not understood and
considered unacceptable by a large majority of the antenna and even by some members of the
National Office.
Answer: I personally have no animosity against the member of the antenn a. What bothers me
is a general lack of responsibility. It is an Auditor member who signs the letters and not
yourself. The antenna is assigned by one or two Emerite or Titulaire members.
3) A lot of members of the Antenna Bretagne Pays de Loire asked the National Office to take
into account the request made by Yvon GARNIER to reorganize the antenna. A project has
been submitted to the President DUPONT two years ago.
Answer: The antennas are driven by the representatives appointed by the Board and the
Board has all direct and administrative expenses. As you wish, we will send you later this
year, the late fee in order for you to join the laggards.
Gerard Dupont explains the organization of the Academy. He wants a moral report signed by
the Head of the antenna, to each Ordinary General Assembly, which has not been the case for
several years.
The meeting was closed at 12:10 pm.
Patrick Dufaud, Winner
