Registration, confirmation, organization procedures
One form to fill out, valid for all speakers, but with one “text box” per speaker.
One form to fill out for each performing art show / exhibition.
All details concerning these registration procedures can be found following the documents to be filled out.
Thank you for reading these conditions carefully before filling out the forms, printing them, then signing them and eventually sending them by post.
Following these rules, especially as far as the calendar is concerned, will make it possible for you and us to work more efficiently. Thank you for your cooperation…
Partnerships
You will find here as an example, the template of a letter which can be used to forward the calendar of our speakers for 2006 2007 to your usual partners (or potentially new partners). You may be surprised to find out how many university departments or museums are willing to cover the expenses and the organization of some of these lectures when given on their premises. These high profile lectures can benefit your members and enhance the visibility of your Alliance, which will remain our sole contact. The mere mention, “Lecture organized in partnership with the Alliance francaise” can be a major benefit to your Alliance and bring attention to it, even if your involvement is restricted to being a middle party or to holding the welcoming speech alongside the Head of Department on the day of the lecture.
In conclusion
I look forward to working with you, and invite you to get in touch with either myself or Charlotte for any questions you might have concerning the upcoming season.
Bien cordialement à toutes et à tous,
Thierry Lagnau
Délégué général adjoint
