Within each Presbytery every branch of the PWA sends three representatives to their local Presbyterial Committee now called PWA Link. There are 21 such committees which meet twice a year and give branch members a sense of belonging to a much larger group.

The annual meeting of the Association takes place in May each year when annual reports are presented. This meeting has to be held twice to accommodate the 2,400 ladies who come from all over Ireland.

PWA members from each Presbytery serve on the Overseas, Mission in Ireland and Social Witness Boards of PCI.

The PWA is administered from:

PWA Office,Church House,
