Composition and Operation of the Committee
THE FAMILY SUPPORT COMMITTEE
The Committee Chair, Brigitte Vahed
Nathalie Biencourt, Karine Millasseau, Willy Bonin and Maria Afonso
- The members of the Family Support Committee are drawn from the Board of Directors of the A.M.Mi association
- The President of the association attends meetings in an advisory capacity only: they do not participate in the vote.
- The Chair of the Family Support Committee is responsible for:
- Drafting requests to be submitted to the Board of Directors,
- Formulating and recording the decisions made.
Its mission is to review financial aid requests submitted by member families receiving support. Its operation is based on the following principles:
- The Committee reviews each request, taking into account that the A.M.Mi association only intervenes as a last resort, meaning only after all state aid or other schemes have been applied for.
- Applications are presented anonymously to ensure the impartiality of the decision.
- Once the request has been reviewed, the Committee makes a decision and submits it to the Board of Directors for validation (always anonymously)
- A written response (by email or mail) is sent to the family, whether the aid is granted or not.
- Any loan granted must be repaid. A repayment schedule is established between the family and the association. This schedule can be reviewed in case of a change in circumstances, upon a reasoned request. Any member who leaves the association with an outstanding loan must repay it in full.
Our commitment: to provide compassionate and rigorous support
The A.M.Mi Association is committed to supporting families, breaking isolation, improving daily life, and supporting research for a treatment.
