Functioning

Life in Sainte-Anne depends on two entities: S.A. "Immobilière Château Sainte-Anne" and A.S.B.L. "Royal International Club Château Sainte-Anne".

“S.A. Immobilière Château Sainte-Anne” owns the estate. Its capital is held by the A.S.B.L., who orchestrates the whole life of the Club.

Some of the “A.S.B.L. Royal International Club Château Sainte-Anne” members are Associate Members and a few others are Honorary Members. The A.S.B.L. is represented at the Annual General Meeting by an unlimited number of Associate Members.

The General Meeting is the sovereign power of the Association. It approves, in particular, the previous year’s financial statements as well as the budget for the coming year.

It elects the Board members for a term of three years. Board members can be re-elected for a single additional term.

The Board elects the President and the General Secretary from among its members as well as a consultative body, the Bureau.

The Board of Directors is invested with the most extensive powers to carry out all acts of administration or disposition which interest the Club. It entrusts the daily management to a General Manager, supported by the Bureau.
