IGI is an organisation driven by its worldwide membership of committed professionals.

The global organisation is registered in the United Kingdom, with a Board of Trustees drawn from UK and overseas. The Trustees are responsible for the ensuring that IGI fulfils its role and is administered in accordance with its constitution. They are therefore responsible for the overall leadership of the global organisation.

The individual national chapters (Focal Integrity Teams) each have their own national leadership. Most of the work of the IGI is initiated locally and managed by the relevant national leadership.

This being a reformed Christian organization, membership to the Board of Trustees is reserved for Bible-believing Christians with appropriate professional and occupational backgrounds. They are elected by Voting Members at Annual General Meetings, although sitting Trustees have the power to co-opt additional Trustees, should the situation require it.
