The Executive Committee of the NZMGA is a voluntary group of 10 guides elected by the membership.

The Administrative Officer and the Training Officer are employees of the Association and are non-voting members of the committee.
The Technical Subcommittee is those committee members who are IFMGA guides. Their responsibility is the technical qualifications of the Guides Association.

The committee may appoint any persons who may or may not be members of the Association, because of the special knowledge, advice, service or skill they can offer.
