GUIDELINES FOR THE DESIGNATION OF LEAD RE(fiTONAL ORGAI7'2ZATION3 IN NORT$ CAROLINA As a follow-up to the designation of 17 uniform, multi-county regions, Governor Scott, on May 11, 1971, issued a statement outlining a new policy regarding the State-regions relationships. Dne to the multiplicity and diversity of multi-jurisdictional agenaiea within the regions, it was felt that a single organisation should be recognized in cash region: an organization that could establish regional goals and objectives, and also serve as the regional agent is dealing with state and Federal agencies. Therefore, it was dedided that a Lead Regional Organization (LRO) would be designated in eaoh of the regions. This, hopefully, will result in a new relationship between State and Looal governments, a "Partnership in Leadership." Stato government will take an active leadership role by creating a planning and operation framevrork that will insure a consistent linkage oP regional plans and programs with State plena and programs. The Lead Agency policy should provide local governments with the ability to make a stronger and more effective response to the prpblems and opportunities facing them.
