The Executive Committee is the IFAJ’s administrative body.
Each country represented by an IFAJ-affiliated guild or association is allocated one seat on the Executive. The Presidium is also included within the Executive Committee.

The Executive is responsible for initiating and executing the programme of IFAJ activities, and its general affairs. These include recommending applications from new members; carrying out decisions made by the Delegate Assembly, and overseeing the sub-committees and their work.
The Executive meets at least twice each year, with one occasion being during the Annual Congress.
