FCERA staff has prepared an implementation plan for approval at the next board of trustees meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Kidd said.
"Since this will take quite a bit of time and several steps, there will be several points of consultation with the board to make sure they are OK with the implementation of their vision," Mr. Kidd said. "Some changes, such as with real estate and private equity may even take years to achieve."
