FAQ - Question 3

The RDC, as a regional organization, is self-governed by the local communities in Middle Georgia.  The RDC has a Board of Directors that is derived from a select group of local officials and private citizens from each of the counties and incorporated areas (cities) in Middle Georgia.  Also, the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) appoints one non-voting regional representative to serve on the RDC Board.  This Board is responsible for establishing RDC bylaws, making rules and regulations, setting policy and providing general oversight to the RDC.  In sum, the RDC is governed by the very communities it serves.

In addition to the Board, the RDC receives specific oversight from other agencies regarding non-local work program elements.  For example, if a grant or contract is awarded to the RDC from a state or federal source, the RDC is required to follow the requisite standards and guidelines put forth by the funding agency.  Therefore, various audits and other requests for information are a routine part of the RDC work program.
