The Région Rhône-Alpes operates as a regional government body, governed by an elected regional council serving five-year terms. It conducts its work in assemblies and permanent commissions, with competencies that touch many aspects of daily life, including transport, high schools, and employment. The council has established an executive led by a president, supported by fifteen vice-presidents and six delegated councillors, each responsible for a specific policy area such as culture and international relations. The CESER is a separate assembly consisting of 122 members from unions, associations, and the business community that reviews dossiers and provides opinions to the regional council and its president, and can be consulted on topics within the region's remit. Based in Lyon, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, the institution functions as a regional government administration that shapes policy across the region's major public services.
