The association is made up of Regular Members, Members by Correspondence, Honorary Members and Corporate Members and Personal Members.

The association is directed by a Board of Directors, made up of at most 12 Regular Members of the General Assembly, each elected for three years by the General Assembly.

No more than 2 persons from the same country can be members of the Board at the same time. One third of the Board members are elected every year by the General Assembly. The Board elects once a year by secret ballot the following officers among its members: a President, if need be, up to 3 Vice-Presidents, a Secretary and, if need be, a Deputy Secretary, a Treasurer and, if need be, a Deputy Treasurer.

The Board is empowered to run and administer the association, subject to the powers of the General Assembly. A General Assembly convenes once at the Annual Congress. The rules and guidelines to which the association is subject to are listed within statutes and the internal rules.
