ADAGP is a non-profit-making civil company, of which each member, artist or beneficiary, is an associate. At the annual general meeting, the members vote on the activity report, the management accounts and the results of the cultural action. The operation of ADAGP, like any other collective management organisation (CMO), is governed by articles L. 321-1 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code.
General Assembly
The ADAGP General Assembly is composed of all of its members and meets each year on the third Thursday of the month of October. Members are convened individually via postal mail in July. The General Assembly approves the Transparency Report, which includes the Annual Activities Report, the Annual financial statements, information on cultural action and other subjects on the agenda.
The Members in General Assembly are also called on to elect the members of the ADAGP Board of Directors and the Supervisory Commission.
Board of Directors
The members of the Board of Directors (between 4 and 16) are elected by the General Assembly for a three-year term of office, renewable. The Board of Directors elects from among its members a President and two Vice Presidents, who constitute the officers or “bureau” of the society.
The eligibility criteria are defined in the ADAGP Statutes.

The Supervisory Commission
According to Article 34 of ADAGP's Statutes, the Supervisory Commission guarantees the transparency of the society's management. The mission of the Supervisory Commission is to monitor the activities of the Board of Directors and to ensure the implementation of the decisions passed by the members in General Assembly. The Commission hears appeals after a refusal by the ADAGP manager to release documents referred to in Article R. 321-18 of the French Intellectual Property Code and must issue an opinion giving grounds for such refusal.
Composed of 6 members, authors and rightholders, elected by the General Assembly for a 3-year term of office, the Supervisory Commission decides on the following points: risk management policy, real estate transactions (acquisition, sale, mortgage), merger or alliance (creation of affiliates, takeover of other entities, etc.), borrowing operations, granting of loans or loan guarantees.
At each General Assembly, the Commission presents an Annual Report outlining the work and tasks accomplished over the previous year.
The elected members of the Supervisory Commission are:
- Alain GALET, President
- Rémy ARON
- Diane ARQUES
- Anaïd DEREBEYAN
- Jennifer ORHELYS-BRUGER
- Élodie-Anne TÉLÉMAQUE
