Committees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Committees and commissions<\/a> play an essential role in defining AMAFI’s positions, under the supervision of the AMAFI Board. These bodies are made up of representatives of the Association’s members, as well as outside figures in some cases. Their members, who are often heads of activities within their institutions, contribute with their expertise and in-depth knowledge of the areas concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the documents produced by AMAFI are drafted in these forums, including industry positions prepared before regulations are drafted, as well as guides and interpretations to help members implement new rules once they have been adopted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissions are established in accordance with AMAFI\u2019s articles of association and meet under the leadership of a Chairman appointed by the Board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committees carry out their activities in areas of major interest for the Association. They meet regularly under the leadership of a Chairman, who is chosen from among their members. Committees may form specific working groups to tackle particular subjects, either on a permanent or ad hoc basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
