Former President Carter (search) and his wife, Rosalynn, have left the top posts on the board of trustees of the center they founded in 1982 to promote peace and health programs around the world.
They called the move a step toward ensuring The Carter Center's (search) existence beyond their active lives. They remain members of the board.
The Carters resigned as chairman and vice-chair at a meeting Monday. John Moores (search), owner of the San Diego Padres baseball team and a trustee at the center, was elected the board's new chairman.
In a statement Tuesday, the 80-year-old Carter said he and his wife are in good health and plan to continue with the center.
"As its founders, we know The Carter Center will always be linked to our identity and personalities, but we proudly recognize the center has expanded its reach beyond what the two of us contribute," he said.
Center staff have worked at combatting disease in Africa and South America, monitoring elections in nations with emerging democracies and on other projects.
Moores created a foundation in 1989 to distribute treatment for blindness in Africa. It became part of The Carter Center in 1997.

Well, well, well...Three guesses what I'm thinking.
He's going to run again?!
He's dying?
Oil for Food subpoena's to follow.......
That some Oil For Food money found its way into the Carter Center.
He's buying a vacation home in Cuba?
Jimmy's just the tip of the tentacle...
That would rock! 'Bout time that phony got his due...
Check this out.
Yeppers. I bet we won't know the depth of his involvement until after he passes on...
I'll say it again...Jimmy Carter as all of us at FR well know...is the greatest president of the 20th century. Thank God, for him. I mean look at what he did to promote peace in the middle east by not supporting the Shah of Iran and our security in SE Asia during his four years in office with his unilateral disarmament initiatives.
My parents were esp happy with him, because inflation was so high they were able to unload their silver dollar collections for five or six times what they could sell them now for.
Rule number one:
On any given political or social topic...find out where Jimmy Carter, the greatest president of the 20th century, stands on the issue then take the opposing view for the right answer.
They're a waste of good food and water?
more likely Venezuela..
Don't let the door hit you on the way out...jackass
