World Physiotherapy holds elections for regional board members as required in accordance with the constitution. At the general meeting in May 2019, member organisations agreed to stagger the terms of board members.
In 2021, member organisations elected a board member from each of the following three regions for a 4-year term ending in 2025:
- Europe
- North America Caribbean
- South America
There was a further election in 2023 to fill the casual vacancy for the member of the Europe region, who was elected to serve for the remainder of the term.
