The affairs of the Academy are directed by an Executive Committee, consisting of the President, the Executive Director, the Treasurer and seven other Fellows elected at a General Meeting, normally held annually.

A Finance Committee manages and supervises the general financial affairs of the Academy, and a number of additional committees oversea the various programs of the Academy.

In addition, the membership is divided into groupings which represent the regional interests of Fellows.
