The Association’s daily operations are led by the Executive Committee and the Youth Leadership Executive. Members of the Executive Committee are elected periodically by Yoruba BC members in good standing. The Youth Leadership Executive, introduced in 2025, provides young members with leadership opportunities through a periodic election process modelled on that of the Executive Committee.

The Board of Advisors provides counsel and oversight to the Executive Committee while promoting unity, accountability, and the continued progress of the Association.

Past Presidents are honoured for their wealth of knowledge and experience, through which they continue to guide and support the Association’s leadership.

The title of Àgbà Akin is conferred, in collaboration with Egbe Omo Yoruba North America—an organization affiliated with Yoruba BC—upon men aged 60 and above who have made significant contributions to the development of the Yoruba BC community.

The title of Yèyé Ààfin is similarly conferred upon women aged 60 and above who have made significant contributions to the development of the community.

The title of Ìyá Ààfin is conferred upon women below the age of 60 who have demonstrated outstanding service and commitment to the development of the Yoruba BC community.

Although there is currently no established honorary title for men below the age of 60, in August 2026, the President of Yoruba BC, Adebola Ige, conferred the honorary distinction of “Honourable” upon Opeoluwa Adebakin in recognition of his selfless and consistent dedication to the work of the Association. He is now formally recognized as Honourable Opeoluwa Adebakin.
