The supreme body of the Federation is the General Assembly (GA) which consists of delegations from all National Member Organizations (NMOs), each one having equal rights and equal voting power. As of July 1999 IFAC has 49 NMOs; their complete list is to be found on the pages of National Member Organizations.
Between meetings of the General Assembly, the management of the Federation is vested in the Council. To deal with the technical and executive activities respectively there are two working organs of the Federation, both reporting to the Council: the Technical Board (TB) and the Executive Board (EB). These Boards are chaired by the two IFAC Vice-Presidents. All the Technical Committees report to the cognizant Coordinating Committee Chair on the Technical Board. Four Executive Committees report to the Executive Board.
The President legally represents IFAC.
All services to IFAC by any IFAC officer or official are voluntary and unpaid.
IFAC officers for the period 1999-2002 are listed on the pages Officers and Officials of IFAC.
