The Global Secretariat, housed at Arizona State University within the Center for Innovation in Healthy and Resilient Aging, coordinates the Network’s strategic initiatives and day-to-day activities.

An Executive Council, which is composed of the Secretariat, representatives from the three founding partner universities, and the Regional Leads representing each continent, supports the Secretariat’s work.

An international Advisory Council, composed of representatives from global, regional, and national forums, actively guides initiatives that advance the mission of the AFU Global Network.
