The Community Office for Resource Efficiency (CORE) is celebrating its 30th anniversary dedicating resources to addressing sustainable energy use in the Roaring Fork Valley.

CORE, a 501(c)(3) organization hosted its first of two anniversary events on Wednesday, Aug. 14. The “Celebrating 30 Years of Impact” event at the Backyard of Buttermilk Lodge paid tribute to three decades of commitment from CORE and the community in working together to tackle climate change, according to a news release. CORE also launched a new initiative honoring founder Bill Stirling at the event on Wednesday.

“CORE is not just an organization; it’s a reflection of our community,” said CEO John Doughtery in the release. “We are your community office for resource efficiency, and our achievements are a testament to your support, advocacy, and action.”



It launched the Stirling Giving Society in honor of Stirling to recognize and support the organization’s most loyal donors. With a gift or pledge of $2,500 or more, members of the Stirling Giving Society will provide CORE with essential support to conserve the region’s natural resources, reduce carbon emissions, and continue the work that Stirling began 30 years ago, according to the release.
