Join CORE

How can I become a part of CORE?

Participation in CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators) is open to all Ohio educators, both retired and active, and their immediate family members, both retired and active.

CORE is organized around an Advisory Board, and subcommittees are organized as the need arises. CORE supporters and the Advisory Board meet after each STRS meeting in Columbus. All educators are encouraged to attend the monthly STRS meeting and the CORE meeting.

CORE has also been meeting monthly with the director of STRS and his staff; a better understanding of the positions of both CORE and STRS has been a result of these meetings. Changes in the operation of STRS have occurred, but more change is needed. We must all work together to ensure the success of CORE and to preserve retirement rights for Ohio's educators.

To join, you may go to the CORE website (http://www.concernedohio.org/core.html) and download an application form by clicking on "Join CORE."

Dues are $5.00 (one-time), payable to Concerned Ohio Retired Educators, and may be sent to Concerned Ohio Retired Educators, P.O. Box 141358, Columbus, OH 43214.

Contributions to CORE Legal Fund are also welcome in any amount.
