The Muhammad Subuh Foundation is managed by a board of eight Trustees dedicated to the long term development of Subud worldwide. The World Subud Association appoints seven Trustees from nominations put forward by national organizations through their zonal representatives, World Subud Council members, and by the the Muhammad Subuh Foundation Trustees.

The Chairperson of the World Subud Association (WSA) serves as ex officio Trustee for a term concurrent with her term as WSA Chairperson. The Trustees meet at least annually and have teleconferences as needed.

Olvia Reksodipoetro is the Chair of the Board. Currently, the Administrative Office is in Rotterdam, Netherlands and is managed by Leonard van Willenswaard, who serves as Administrator and Treasurer. Contact information for the trustees is available in a pdf list.

To promote the work of the Muhammad Subuh Foundation, national representatives are appointed to act as sources of local information and expertise on the Muhammad Subuh Foundation.
