USA Archery is led by an elected fifteen-person Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors must be members of USA Archery who are at least eighteen years old and U.S. citizens. Members of the Board of Directors hold office for a four-year term and are not eligible to be elected to serve more than two consecutive four-year terms, but may, after a one-year absence from membership on the Board, be re-elected.

The USA Archery Board of Directors represents the interests of the Archery community and its athletes by providing the organization with policy, guidance and strategic direction. The Board oversees the management of USA Archery and its affairs, but it does not manage the organization. The Board focuses on long-term objectives and impacts, empowering the Chief Executive Officer to manage a staff-driven organization with effective Board oversight.
