the RDA was to analyze, develop solutions to
the health, education, general and economic welfare problems
of the rural and urban Indian poor.
On December 6, 1970, the Regional Development Associates, Inc
charter was amended to change the name to Lumbee Regional
Development Association, Inc. (LRDA). The mission stayed
the same.
We are forty years old and still serving our people in
Robeson and other counties. We look forward to
celebrating this milestone in LRDA’s history throughout the
year and to serving our community for the next seven
generations to come.
