Through sound administration and effective management, the public authority/agency achieves its mission and strategic goals; assures appropriate use of public resources for the public good; and remains responsive to the needs of the communities it serves.
Introduction

The responsibilities set forth in the standards represent the multi-faceted functions the leadership of a public authority/agency assumes in cooperation with relevant stakeholders.
Interpretation
Public authority/agency leadership can include the Chief Executive Officer, the public authority/agency director, the agency head, or the administrative team.
