LEPC Organizational Structure
The LEPC is an unincorporated non-profit with no staff of its own.

The Rutland Regional Planning Commission (RRPC) administratively supports LEPC #2. RRPC acts as the LEPC’s bookkeeper, prepares minutes, organizes meetings, facilitates communication, and at times facilitates the group’s activity. RRPC also has separate agreements with Vermont Emergency Management to provide additional services directly to local towns and the region to help meet the emergency management and planning needs.
