Overall corporate dues goals have been adjusted to reflect more appropriate levels given M&A concerns. On track to reach current target of 80 members; M&A may affect sponsor performance up to $25K. CRM /communications score down slightly from last year and a primary overall concern was number of "don't know" answers from state members. Low response rate on CLC satisfaction survey.
