Mandate: The YMCA Community Development Board will provide expertise, best practices, partnerships, program innovation, and funding to promote community prosperity.
Governance: The YMCA of the Greater Houston Area is one corporation, with a governing board responsible to the membership for the total association. The by-laws of the YMCA allow the board of directors to establish centers in order to serve the various communities in the YMCA’s service area. The association board of directors delegates responsibility for the operations of the centers to center boards. Center boards are responsible to the board of directors. The YMCA Community Development Advisory Board is equivalent to a Center Board.
