It is headed by a team consisting of a Bishop Chairperson, two member Bishops and a National Executive Secretary. The Commission operates from the office of the National Executive Secretary. It has its own logo, depicting its vision, mission and core values. The Regional/Diocesan Commissions for Women may adapt it with the prior approval of the National Commission.
