Like the network, the governance of Efus is representative of the geographical and political diversity of its members.
It is managed by a General Assembly which meets every year. The General Assembly elects an Executive Committee made up of around thirty local authorities elected by their peers, one third of which are renewed every year.
In order to represent the diversity of the network, no more than 5 cities or regions from a same country can be elected to the Executive Committee.
