Who are we?
The Small Islands Organisation (SMILO) was officially established on December 7, 2016. It is an association under the French law (1901 law) and works at the international level.
It is composed of a representative body (the General Assembly), a decision-making body (the Board of Directors) whose members are elected by the General Assembly, a management body (the Bureau) and finally an operational body (the Secretariat).

Bureau
The Bureau is responsible for the association’s day-to-day management and preparation of the Board of Directors meetings.
It is formed by:
- PRODROMIDES Maxime, President
- ESTEVE Roger, Treasurer
- DE ABREU Antonio, Secretary
General Assembly
The General Assembly includes all members of the association.
It meets at least once every year when convened by the Board.
Decisions are made with 50% plus one of the votes cast.
The founding members of the association are:
- BERNARD Fabrice
- ESTEVE Roger
- PETIT Sylvain
- PRODROMIDES Maxime
The President, assisted by the members of the Board of Directors, chairs the Assembly and presents the association’s state of affairs and activity report.
The Treasurer presents its management report and submits the annual accounts (balance sheets, income statements and annexes) for approval by the Assembly. The Secretary prepares the minutes and signs them.
The Assessment committee
Operation
The Assessment Committee is composed of 10 qualified personalities, representative of SMILO themes of interest (Water, Energy, Waste, Terrestrial and Marine Ecosystems, Landscapes, Governance and Human Activities). These members, called Reporters, were approached by SMILO Administrative Council for their skills and experiences. Coming from all around the world, Reporters meet at least once a year in person to carry out the ongoing intermediate and final assessments. In this context, they issue a common opinion, after study of applications, which they transmit to the Administrative Council, the only decision-makers of Label granting. They are all independent, non-adherents to the NGO and sign a cooperation convention defining their role within SMILO NGO.
Reporter's Role
On the occasion of an intermediate or final Assessment, the Assessment Committee mobilizes one of its members (a Reporter) directly on the candidate island. The latter checks in situ the conformity of all labelling steps preceding the assessment. Available and open-minded, Reporter’s role goes beyond a simple review of required minima. He/She can advise and carry the island, via its Island Committee, to modifications of its project for more consistency with objectives of achieving Sustainable Island Label.
