They oversee the strategic planning, budgeting, and staffing, ensuring the services provided meet the community's needs and comply with government regulations. They also play a crucial role in creating and implementing policies, resolving conflicts, improving efficiency, and ensuring the satisfaction of both staff and service recipients.
