The Assembly is the supreme body of the Association and is made up of all AIIC members. It meets once every three years to define the general policy of the Association, adopt its triennial programme and budget, establish the annual membership dues and elect the President, Treasurer and Council Members. The Budget Committee and the Committee on Admissions and Language Classification are the only two committees elected by the Assembly and directly accountable to it. The Budget Committee has a watchdog role and ensures that the finances of the Association are properly administered. The President, the Treasurer and members representing the Regions form the Council and are elected by the Assembly.
Council meets at least once a year.
