ABODA is managed by a committee of dedicated volunteers who represent ABODA members in the day-to-day running of the organisation. These dedicated individuals organise ABODA events, liaise with other organisations, publish newsletters, and manage the affairs of the organisation.

ABODA is both a State and National organisation, with State and National arms. The National Constitution and individual State Constitutions are primary resources which define this structure. The information below summarizes the officers described in the constitutions.

If you need to contact the officers below, consult the The main contacts page for physical and electronic contact details.
