==Structure==

Each guild has a national, provincial, and local structure. On the national level, each guild is governed by their National Guild Authority, which of comprised of a "''Gilder Assembly''" which is made up of elected representatives of vested members, and the "''Governing Board''", which holds some executive decision-making power within the Guild. The Gilder Assembly's members are elected from each province by each province's vested members and seats are apportioned based on how many vested members there are per province. In the Guild Law, no distinction is made among [[Urcea]]'s three [[Government_of_Urcea#Subdivisions|kinds of subdivisions]] and are all referred to as "provinces". According to the Guild Law, each province must send an equal number of members representing capital and labor to the Gilder Assembly, and under the Guild Law these two groups form a "Labor Caucus" and a "Capital Caucus" respectively within the Gilder Assembly. Elections are typically held annually, with most vested members voting either at their labor meeting, their chamber of commerce meeting, or at the workplace. In addition to being the overall governing body of a guild, each guild's Gilder Assembly is responsible for appointing individuals to serve on Provincial Investiture Boards. The Governing Board of the guild nominates individuals to serve at the Provincial Investiture Board, in consultation with each caucus, and the Gilder Assembly is responsible for confirming the nominees. The Gilder Assembly is also responsible for electing members of the [[Gildertach]], which serve at the pleasure of the Guild. These members are typically chosen from among the Assembly's own membership, with five members representing each guild.

Provincial Investiture Boards are not administrative bodies but are primarily responsible for maintaining the process of investiture happens at the local level, but since the late 1980s the Provincial Investiture Board is increasingly responsible for being a resource on guild law and various guild developments, working as an intermediary between the National Guild Authority and local labor unions and chambers of commerce. Like the Gilder Assembly, Provincial Investiture Boards are made up by equal representation of labor and capital within their province, with membership varying based on the number of vested members within the province in the guild. The Provincial Boards have two direct tasks deputed them by the Guild Law, the first of which is to oversee and ensure the ethical working of the Diocesan Investiture Boards, holding regular audits of their business and supervising their general proceedings. Secondly, the Provincial Investiture Board is responsible for appointing the members of Diocesan Investiture Boards based on the nomination of vested members within the province. Any vested guild member can nominate an individual to fill a vacancy on a Diocesan Investiture Board, and the Provincial Investiture Board is responsible for consideration and approval of these nominations. Members of the Provincial Investiture Board can serve one ten year term on the Board which may not be renewed following the end of their term.
