Governance
World Archery is governed by its member associations, who meet every two years at World Archery Congress and have the ability to make changes to the World Archery Rulebook and Constitution via motion.
To manage the federation’s activities in between each Congress, members elect a President, an Executive Board – and a smaller Executive Committee – and individuals to a number of permanent and temporary committees.
