It is headed by officers and directors who represent all geographic and organizational levels. Committee chairpersons are appointed annually by the president, subject to approval by the Board of Directors. All members can select a committee (or be assigned by their director).

All professionals with any Extension agricultural duties are eligible for membership. Membership is offered in both the State and National Associations. The Georgia association is among the nation's largest, with over 300 current members.
