At Carter & Associates we believe that the board is most effective when it works collaboratively with institutional leadership. 

The chair of the board of Trustees and the Executive Director/ President have substantial influence on how board members are engaged and seek to facilitate full and necessary board leadership. Board leadership, in turn, accepts ultimate responsibility while properly delegating authority.  

The Board ensures shared governance with attention to executive director / board relationship and trustees’ engagement. They have clear expectations for the progress that the organization will make under Executive Director/ President and evaluates the leader annually. Additionally, the Board addresses changes in finances and the imperative to deliver financial controls and stability.
