Members are required to join one of the five Regional Federations which are an integral part of the World Squash structure.

Members of the board are elected at general meetings and consist of a president and three vice-presidents, who each serve four year terms of office.

The board is supported by a number of committees, commissions and panels whose members are volunteers with specialist knowledge coming from the Regional Federations and Player Association.

World Squash employs professional staff who are responsible for implementing the decisions of these bodies whose main activities are described below.

The chairman, an athlete, reports to ExCo and represents the interests of the current players in areas such as Championship Regulations and implementation of the new WADA Code.

Committee Members identify needs for development projects in their regions and recommend activity plans to World Squash for resources and funding.

The committee also organises a management conference for senior executives in national associations so they can network, share resources and establish best practice on the World Squash website.

World Squash has established an independent Ethics Panel at the suggestion of the IOC.

It also has a well-established Disciplinary Committee supported by an independent Appeals Panel when necessary – this is called upon very rarely.
