Transparency & Accountability Documents

The conflict of interest policy and standards adopted by the board of directors ensure that regional center board members and employees act in the course of their duties solely in the best interest of the regional center clients and their families, without regard to the interests of any other organization with which they are associated or persons to whom they are related.
