Our organisation

The Réseau Excellence organization is closely linked to France's craft and industrial ecosystems, of which it is now a key player.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The Ordinary General Meeting is held at least once a year and comprises all paid-up members of the association.

It deliberates on future orientations. It appoints or renews members of the Board of Directors. It also sets the annual membership fee.

After deliberation, the General Meeting votes on the annual report or activity report, and on the accounts for the financial year.

Decisions are taken by a majority of members present.

The association is managed by a Board of Directors made up of :
