Our Vision Statement

About MEORC
MEORC is a council of governments created under the authority of Chapter 167 of the Ohio Revised Code. The MEORC acronym stands for the Mid-East Ohio Regional Council. Eighteen county boards serving persons with developmental disabilities are participants in an agreement that creates and governs MEORC. The original by-laws were adopted on January 20, 1989.
In creating MEORC, the member boards recognize that they share common concerns and desire to provide the best possible services to persons with developmental disability in their respective counties. They determined that by cooperating with one another and coordinating their powers and duties their respective counties’ residents will benefit and be better served. The member county boards may deploy MEORC in any endeavor that they believe will improve services to their respective residents they serve.
