The Amalgamated Transit Union is lead by an International President, International Executive Vice President, an International Secretary-Treasurer, and 18 International Vice Presidents who form its General Executive Board.
All of these international officers are elected by the ATU's triennial International Convention. In addition to these elected by the Convention, the International employs International Representatives who, like the International Vice Presidents, do much of the International's work throughout the United States and Canada. Delegates of the ATU Canada convention also elect a President of ATU Canada to focus specifically on Canadian concerns and work with ATU International.
