CISU's board serves as the top political leadership of the organisation, operating under the mandate from the General Assembly. Comprising 7 members, the board is elected by CISU's General Assembly, and individuals affiliated with any of CISU's member organisations are eligible to stand for election.

All member organisations have the opportunity to attend board meetings as observers, provided arrangements are made in advance with advisor Helene H. Kannegaard.
