The document summarizes decisions made at a strategic retreat of the CORE Group Board of Directors regarding growing membership, revising fee structures, establishing organizational and individual associates, and modifying the board's composition. Key decisions included allowing organizational and individual associates with similar rights as members except voting; increasing annual fees starting in 2012; and allowing up to 25% of board members to come from outside the membership to provide additional needed expertise. Next steps involved reporting on the retreat and taking action on the agreed upon decisions.
