The organization is governed by an eleven-member board of directors with members from Brazil, Bulgaria, Gambia, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, South Africa, Tunisia, and the United States. Four US-based officers further contribute to the volunteer leadership of the organization. Thirty-eight prominent global leaders serve as honorary chairs for WJP providing a wealth of expertise on key strategic issues.
