The Foundation Board delegates the actual management and running of the Agency, including the performance of activities and the administration of assets, to the Executive Committee, WADA’s ultimate policy-making body.

The 12-member Executive Committee is also composed equally of representatives from the Olympic Movement and governments.

WADA's Presidency – a volunteer position – alternates between the Olympic Movement and governments.
