The AAAI functions through the active, voluntary services of a President, a Vice-President, an Honorary Secretary, an Honorary Treasurer and an Executive Committee assisted by a full-time Secretary-General and his staff. The Association maintains a permanent office, which is located at: 35 Maker Tower 'F', 3rd Floor, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai 400 005.

Conventionally, a very senior agency person represents each member agency in the AAAI.

The President and other office-bearers are elected every year by the General Body, which comprises all representatives of member agencies. In addition, some Executive Committee Members are co-opted to the Executive Committee and an effort is made to ensure that all zones and groups of agencies (by size) are represented on this Committee.

Assisting the above groups are various Sub-committees, each looking after specific activity areas of the Association, and Regional Convenors who co-ordinate members' activities in different regions of the Country.

The Executive Committee, the Regional Convenors and various Sub-Committees meet very regularly and information is constantly shared with all members.

The AAAI is thus a true association, in the sense that nearly half of all members are directly involved with one or more of the active committee groups and the remaining members are in touch through direct communication.
