Leadership and governance are the bedrocks of effective management. Head Start program leadership consists of three key entities: the governing body/Tribal Council (i.e., legal and fiscal responsibilities), Policy Council/parent committees (i.e., set program direction), and management staff (i.e., day-to-day operations). These entities work together to provide leadership and strategic direction. Explore resources to help grantees navigate these tasks and relationships.

The Hatch Act
The Hatch Act restricts political activity of federal, state, and local government employees.

Grantees and delegates should be mindful of this policy and avoid any violations of the law with regard to their staff members’ political activities.
