To date, COFEM has operated as a global network. Team members connect virtually and work across time zones and continents, and make up a wide range of age and experience. This global team is cross-generational and made up of diverse experiences and expertise, and has a practice of working inclusively and collaboratively. The COFEM Secretariat does the day-to-day work of running the network and is made up of a Coordinator and several other consultants, who focus on advocacy, communications, inclusion, internal communications, regional activities, research, and more. The Secretariat team also chairs the various Working Groups that all members are able to join on a monthly basis.
A Coordinating Committee of six women serves a two-year term as an advisory group to the Secretariat, and this group supports decision-making processes and provides strategic oversight.
The entire COFEM Secretariat and Coordinating Committee commit to the practice of feminist leadership as well as shared Guiding Feminist Principles in all workspaces and relationships and are currently located across seven different countries.
