About Us

EPOC was formed in 1996 to represent the interests of Connecticut's Licensed Environmental Professionals (LEPs) by providing information, training and updates regarding the LEP program in Connecticut. EPOC welcomes the participation of all members in our activities and recognizes the strength of drawing on a membership of diverse careers, interests and backgrounds.

Membership is available at a professional level for CT LEPs and a separate associate membership is available to anyone interested in the organization's activities. In addition, special rates are available for students and government employees. Membership benefits include substantial discounts to all EPOC programs, Email notifications of current news and program announcements, and "members-only" content on our web site.
