Congress
The federation’s governing body meets every two years.
Congress is the governing body of World Archery.
It meets every two years to elect officials, vote on motions to change the rules and receive operations reports. Delegates that attend congress represent the federation’s member associations and are joined by the executive board and representatives from permanent committees.
Continental associations, associate international federations and associate members can also attend but cannot vote at congress.
World Archery was founded at a meeting in Lwow, Poland in 1931, which is now referred to as the first congress. The 50th edition of congress was held in Belek, Turkey in 2013.
Congress is currently held in odd years.
