What is the ultimate responsibility for all center programs typically assigned to?

The ultimate responsibility for all center programs is typically assigned to the board of trustees. This governing body oversees the overall direction and management of the center's programs to ensure they align with the organization's mission and goals. The board's role includes making high-level strategic decisions, providing accountability, and ensuring that proper policies are in place for effective program implementation and monitoring.

While other roles, such as the executive director and various committees, play significant parts in the day-to-day operations and oversight of specific areas, it is the board of trustees that holds the ultimate authority and responsibility for the center’s comprehensive programmatic efforts. They ensure that there is adherence to standards, ethical practices, and effective program delivery, making them pivotal in the governance and success of the center’s initiatives.
