 This Committee now consists of 35 Members, comprising the Officers of the Association, the Chairperson of the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians and three Members as Regional Representatives from each Region except Africa, which, as a large Region, has six Representatives.

The Committee meets just prior to the General Assembly, to which it reports, and holds a second meeting in another Commonwealth country midway between General Assemblies.
