The ultimate directive authority of the FISM is vested in the General Assembly, consisting of all the Presidents of the Member Societies and which is presided over by the International President.
The International President and two International Vice Presidents constitute the BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
The International FISM President is ANDREA BAIONI (ITA); the International FISM Vice Presidents are SATORU YAMAMOTO (JAP) and PETER DIN (FRA).
The members of the General Assembly are subdivided in six continental divisions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania. Each continental organization is run by its own Continental President.
The six Continental Presidents together with the Presidium constitute the FISM EXECUTIVE BOARD (FEB).
The FEB decides on all affairs, except for
• the election and appointment of the International President and the International Vice-Presidents
• the dissolution of the FISM
• alterations of the Statutes and of the FISM Competition Rules and Procedures
• the approval of the accounts and the budget for a new period, including the entrance fee and the contribution to be charged to the Member Societies
• the election of the venue of the next FISM convention, which issues are determined by the General Assembly.
