Elected officials serve annual terms and gubernatorial appointees serve three-year terms. TCRPC is made up of nineteen elected officials and nine gubernatorial appointees. | | | | | | Council operates a number of programs and services for regional planning and economic development designed to satisfy the needs of its public and private sector customers and foster the healthy and orderly growth of the Region. | | |

| | TCRPC is a not-for-profit organization created by and for local governments to provide planning and technical assistance services to assist in carrying out Florida's growth management programs. TCRPC was established in 1976 through an interlocal agreement between Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach counties. Membership includes all four counties and 49 municipalities. | |
