Management Board
The organization is represented by two chair persons. By the statute decided during the business meeting of the 2009 Conference, one chair is always the organizer of the previous meeting and the second chair is the organizer of the following meeting. The two chair persons are supported by the webmaster. During the business meeting of the 2015 Conference it was decided to reconsider hosting and mastering of the website after three years during the next Conference business meeting. The ICVF Management Board addresses issues relevant to the ICVF between conferences.
The current chair persons are:

Scientific Committee
The Management Board is supported by a Scientific Committee. It has a maximum of 25 members, who must be active researchers in their field of expertise, and who should be selected so as to provide a balance of representation across geography, crops and specialty. Retirees will automatically leave the Scientific Committee at the next conference and, at the same time, a total of five members will be replaced by newly elected members. The Scientific Committee will propose the appointment of new members, who must be approved at the Conference Business Meeting.
The members of the Scientific Committee discuss and advise on scientific, policy and organizational issues that are relevant to the continued development of the ICVF. They are also responsible for peer review of proceedings from the ICVF meetings and all other scientific information that is posted on the ICVF website.
