The AGWA is intended to be a co-operative of window manufacturers whereby all members are encouraged to be involved in the decision making process.

The AGWA operates through a committee system which allows for the views of the smallest manufacturer to be heard. Large Australian window manufacturers have the same voting rights as the smallest.

Although there are State representatives on the Board, any Member or Associate Member can at any time liaise directly with the Executive Director or the Board of Directors.
