The fib general assembly (GA) consists of the heads of delegation (one per country) and the additional delegates (or their deputies) as appointed by the national groups.  The number of delegates, and accordingly, the number of votes, for each national group is determined by the chosen subscription level.

fib members can find the current list of national groups and their respective delegates and deputies if they logged in the fib members' section of the website.

The GA meets at least once every two years and is the overriding authority of the association.  It is therefore responsible for approving:

• amendments to the statutes;
• resolutions and technical conclusions, including the fib Model Code;
• voting rights of national groups;
• operating budget, accounting, membership subscriptions and other financial matters; and
• honorary members and honorary presidents

In addition, the GA elects the following members of the presidium:

• President and Deputy-President
• Honorary Treasurer
• Four elected presidium members (for a four-year term)
