Eight of the nine RDAs reported to the [[Department for Business, Innovation and Skills]] (BIS), the exception being the [[London Development Agency]] (LDA), which reported directly to the [[Mayor of London]] and the [[London Assembly]].

Each RDA was led by a chair and a board of 15 people, appointed by BIS ministers (except in London, where the mayor appointed). The RDA chairs were all business people, while the boards were made up of representatives of business, local government, trade unions and voluntary organisations.

The day-to-day running of the RDA was the responsibility of the Chief Executive who was appointed by the board, subject to approval by BIS ministers (or the London Mayor in the case of the LDA).
