The AASW is an incorporated company which is nationally managed by a board of directors, comprised of a director from each of the 10 branches, a national president and three national vice presidents. Branch presidents and other committee members are elected for three years at branch elections and national office bearers are elected every three years via a national ballot. Directors usually meet twice yearly and conduct additional business via teleconference and postal ballots.
Some branches have executive officers or project officers who work on specific tasks.
