The CCRPC is governed by a board of eleven commissioners who represent member governments and the minority and low-income populations in Champaign County. The members currently include Champaign County, the cities of Champaign and Urbana, and the villages of Rantoul, Mahomet and Savoy.

To date, the Commission’s work has extended into more than 18 counties throughout East Central Illinois.
