This document lays out a four-year plan to ensure that this mission and philosophy remains intact. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page I �Summary The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has grown in scope and breadth since its creation in 1991. With this growth comes an ever increasing amount of responsibility for coordination, promotion and recognition of service and volunteer efforts throughout Michigan and the nation. MCSC began as, and to this day remains, a leader in the service and volunteer movement. Even with the rapid growth of programming, promotion and coordination and, in some cases, concerned that some MCSC . Nonprofit organizations do not thrive the profit sector. In short, and grow in an environment of nec:e~sarv MCSC, like so many other nonprofit mechanisms for sustainability due to some systems and inq})f!qJlate size and ' ,,'), ';,~~i diversify of MCSC'sfunding base; and inadequate ihwestment in To overcome these barriers and to best position MCSC effectiveness, the MCSC staff proposes that over the next four yeats: • MCSC work to maintain and enhance its leadership role at the local, state and national levels by emphasizing its role as a catalyst, convener, and broker; • MCSC work to reduce its overwhelming dependency on federal funding through both friend- and fundraising efforts; Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 2 �• MCSC restructure itself to: - emphasize programming, administration and outreach as its primary areas for action, - create a management structure that ensures focused efforts, efficiency, accountability, leadership and professional growth, - build a system of command and control functions; • MCSC commit to develop a process to determine the organization's progress, effectiveness, utility to the service and volunteerism field, and determine if a statewide commission on service and volunteerism is necessary, and; • If found to be necessary, MCSC will develop and implement a plan to ~stablish MCSC' s permanent physical and administrative home; ·i'~~:: ; · ' to a more diverse and stable funding base, and take on the assessing the state of: .

Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 3 �Background What is Michigan doing in the areas of youth development and volunteerism? That was the question many organizations were asking themselves almost eight years ago. To answer these questions, the nation, and especially Michigan began a series of dialogues. A national movement driven by the National and Community Service Act of 1991 and by the focussed attention of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on issues of youth, brought forth a series of meetings, held during the late spring and early summer of 1991. These meetings called togetherrepresentatives of K-12 education, Higher Education, community-based and \ · ·zfttions to begin a dialogue on youth and youth service programs some now familiar Ofl~antza:qpp~--l'.'Uc:m!~an Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Forum (now Association) Council.~'PMfphigan Foundations.

Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 4 �MCSC's frrst executive director, Diana V. Rodriguez Algra, continued the coalition building that was so evident in MCSC' s forming. Organizations from across the state were convened to help form and implement Michigan's state application to the CNCS and the state's charge to MCSC for promotion and coordination of service and volunteerism in Michigan. MCSC garnered regular and continuous input and support from a broad coalition including: ACTION, Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), K-12 Service Learning Center, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), ~:Yolunteer Centers of Michigan. Through a number Detroit, United Way of of task forces made uti\~fth . ;-.::~/>"/;<' ' ' r~!~~tioned organizations and a small yet effective staff, MCSC submitted a successffi. }~ries of a_nplic~ti6ns to CNCS.

This infrastructure, facilitated by MCSC, effectively responded to radical changes in federal legislation, frequent tum-over in leadership of coalition organizations, and priority shifts in corporate and foundation supporters.

Page 7 �MCSC's Critical Issues It would be easy for MCSC and its supporters to become complacent, but this is a dangerous time. MCSC enjoys the firm support of Governor John Engler and many members of the current legislature. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation supported MCSC even before its creation in 1991, through a grant to Youth Service America (YSA). This funding supported the series of meetings that served as policy planning meetings out of which grew the MCSC. The C.S. Mott Foundation supported MCSC's first youthoriented comm~nity-based technical assistance programs-Technical Assistance Program ·. ~ryjce.

Ameritech, MCSC' s larg~tfor-profit supporter, is going through merger plans with a non-Michigan corporation which may, or may not share Ameritech's strong local philanthropic philosophy. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 8 �This evolution of organizations may or may not play in MCSC's favor. CNS and AmeriCorps specifically, started out and remains in large part, associated strongly with the current presidential administration. This is a double edged sword with potentially lethal consequences given the current national political climate. CNS funding has become a partisan issue and is in constant turmoil and question. This situation threatens MCSC' s very existence given its large portfolio of high impact and quality national service programs and the reliance on federal support for their survival. Hence, all the positive assets that helped build the. MCSC into what it is today can quickly turn into liabilities. ·· · erously over-reliant on federal funding for administrative and /j- ~;:~'\:?:/ pro~r~~c suppo ver 85% ofMCSC's budget can be traced directly back to CNS. ·.~.a service and the focus Ollf:, · ·.· ',.i· :};t:~:- ,-', ~,,, for the survival and~~h strong supporter of CNS' s agenda including national tll+~gs done."

Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 9 �If MCSC is found to be a necessary part of Michigan's service and volunteer infrastructure, MCSC must develop a strategy to address the aforementioned critical issues-finding a stable administrative and physical home for MCSC that affords it meaningful access to the public, not-for-profit and profit sectors of our society; developing a diverse funding base; and maintaining a strong, non-partisan leadership role in Michigan's service and volunteer field.

Begin to craft a vision for the next five years that deals with: 1>• a. defining what the MCSC does. Are we just a grant maker? .What does it mean to be a Catalyst? Convener? Broker? b. MCSC's response to changes in key leadership positions (Governor, Chair of the Commission, national political scene) c.

Mr. Caldwell informed the MCSC that he, Mary Estrada and Lindy Lange would be staffing the event. A briefing packet was developed for each commissioner and was in their commission packet. Mr. Caldwell stated that a commissioner retreat would be held in September in conjunction with the Commission meeting. The dates have been set for September 24, 1999 for a Commission meeting in Mackinaw City and September 25, 1999 for the Commissioner Retreat at Mackinac Island.

Reports by Department from the MCSC staff- Kyle Caldwell A. Programming- Kyle Caldwell 1. Michigan's AmeriCorps Mr. Caldwell stated that, in their commission packet, were the results of the Michigan's AmeriCorps outreach and renewal application processes plus recommendations for the Michigan's AmeriCorps Application to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) for FY 1999-00. a. Competitive Funding Application to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell noted that the application included four Competitive Programs: Michigan Department of Agriculture: Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program, Oakland University: AmeriCorps Oakland, United Way Community Services: Detroit Academic Success Program, University of Michigan: Michigan Neighborhood AmeriCorps Program. These programs all showed satisfactory progress toward their goals and some areas for improvement. The MCSC staff will work with each program to develop plans for addressing challenges. Three programs requested modest expansions and one program remained essentially at the same level of funding. This is consistent with the MCSC' s goal of building self-sustaining and cost effective programs. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC staff received a Recompete Competitive Application from the Family Independence Agency (FIA). This program focuses on the goals of America's Promise by targeting children in Michigan and their access to the five fundamental resources. This is a large statewide corps that targets a needy population in a relatively cost effective manner. The FIA has been a grantee of the MCSC for three years with documentable successes. The FIA has identified anticipated challenges and articulated plans for addressing them. Several commissioners asked questions about the programs' challenges, improvements and what the MCSC can do if programs do not meet these items. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC can put programs on probation or discontinue their funding. The MCSC staff recommended that the four programs proposed requesting $1,269,722 in support of70 full-time and 111 part-time be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Competitive Funds Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. In addition, the MCSC staff recommends that the Recompete Competitive Application from the Family Independence Agency requesting $456,957 for 40 full-time members be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. 3 �'· Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Williams abstained from voting. b. Formula Application to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the staff recommended the continuation of funding for 13 of the programs currently funded through the MCSC's Formula Allocation from the Corporation for National Service for FY1999-00. Ofthe 13 programs, six requested modest increases to cover the costs of expansion efforts (American Red Cross, Creston Neighborhood AmeriCorps, Michigan Communities in Schools, Dreamcatchers, Rural Strategic Action Initiative, and Underground Railroad), two programs requested slightly less funding (Eastern Michigan University and SOS Crisis Center), and one program requested that it be allowed to expand to incorporate a program design presented as a new program, but was withdrawn by the applicant due to insufficient organizational capacity (BHK Child Development Board: Copper Country AmeriCorps). One program requested a $63,000 increase over the previous year with no increase in FfE's (Saginaw Public Schools). The MCSC staff recommended maintaining the funding level of the previous year for this program. Several programs identified a need to revise their objectives to more effectively guide and document the accomplishments of their programs. The MCSC staff contracted with Project STARR to provide training on how programs should work to create measurable objectives for maximum impact. Those objectives were reviewed by staff and incorporated into the renewal applications. Staff recommendations are based on at least one site visit, the program's first quarter report and a Year 2-3 plan. The MCSC staff recommends that the 13 Renewal Formula Applications requesting $2,144,236 for 567 members be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. c. New Applications to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC held outreach sessions for FY 1999-00 Michigan's AmeriCorps which included two full-day workshops and a statewide mailing. The MCSC received twenty proposals and only four proposals advanced from the peer review to staff review. The MCSC staff worked with the four programs extensively to help them develop quality program designs. Of the 4 �four, only two programs were recommended. One of the two programs dropped out of the process so the MCSC had only one which appropriately addressed the criteria of the application and formed a program design that fit within the AmeriCorps design-City Year Detroit. Michigan is the next host state for the model on which AmeriCorps is based-City Year. City Year Detroit is scheduled to start up in the Fall of 1999. The program has broad based support including the Kresge Foundation, Henry Ford Health Systems, United Way Community Services and many others. The MCSC staff want to ensure that, as with all of its programs, MCSC funds are utilized in the most cost effective way possible. To ensure a level of cost control, the staff recommend including the City Year Detroit program in MCSC's Formula Funds for FY 199900. This runs contrary to what other state commissions have done in the past. States have included City Year programs in their Competitive Funding pool thereby saving their Formula Funds for less competitive programs. By doing so, states have set up a quasidirect relationship between City Year programs and the Corporation for National Service. So long as the City Year programs were performing they could develop much of their programming, fundraising and operations as they deemed appropriate with less Commission involvement. Several commissioners asked questions regarding City Year funding: Who is their primary sponsor?, What are the pro's and con's of this program being located in Detroit? Mr. Caldwell explained that City Year's primary sponsor is the Kresge Foundation and the main City Year office is located in Massachusetts. Mr. Caldwell stated that this is a great opportunity for Detroit but that fundraising and recruitment has to be coordinated with existing programs. Chairperson Engler expressed concern about City Year corning to Detroit and taking attention, resources, and assistance away from existing programs in the Metro Detroit area. Commissioner Williams shares this concern, but supports bringing the program to Detroit. The staff of the MCSC recommend that the City Year Detroit program be funded for the requested $485,000 amount is support of 70 full-time members through Michigan's Formula Allocation from the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-000. Mr. Caldwell explained that this represents 30% of City Year Detroit's funding. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Orosz seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 5 �2. America' s/Michigan' s Promise - Mary Grill Ms. Grill reviewed the Michigan's Promise goals that are established to-date which are: • . To talk with key stakeholders and visit the Community of Promise; listen to the opportunities and challenges; provide feedback, information, and resources; and assist, as appropriate, in problem solving. • To provide networking opportunities and channel national, statewide, and local information to Michigan's Communities of Promise. • To assist communities as they explore and implement the opportunity to become a Community of Promise. • To provide a realistic assessment of statewide commitments so communities can utilize appropriate resources. • To explore and engage new commitment makers on a statewide level. • To support and monitor the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program. Ms. Grill also gave updates on the following: America's Promise-The Alliance for Youth 1999 Report to the Nation, Communities of Promise Site Map, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Summary by Site. Ms. Grill announced that Michigan has 17 Communities of Promise with two communities working to become official Communities of Promise. Ms. Grill stated that Head Start has made a commitment and that through a partnership with the Corporation for National Service office in Detroit we have 10 sites of promise in our Communities of Promise were VISTA's will be working full-time at Head Start agencies to promote the Michigan's Promise goals. Ms. Grill stated that at the present time she is working on building an Advisory Board for the Communities of Promise and is working with the local communities. Commissioner Williams asked how the MCSC will evaluate and measure the success of the program. Ms. Grill said the success will be measured at the end of the project when communities do their year end report and during the program with monitoring and evaluation. Commissioner Williams stated that United Way Community Services is working with Jack Moore and Associates to develop an evaluation process that will set a standard statewide. Chairperson Engler stated that evaluation of programs at the national level is a concern and that America's Promise is working on this issue. 6 �·. Ms. Grill stated that eleven AmeriCorps Promise Fellows have been placed in seven communities throughout Michigan. Michigan is also fortunate to host five National Direct AmeriCorps Fellows. These individuals are placed with the following organizations: Youth Volunteer Corps of AmericaEightCAP, Inc., National League of Cities-Michigan Municipal League, National Jewish Coalition for Literacy-Jewish Community Council of Metro Detroit, City Cares-Volunteer Impact. 3. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) Mr. Caldwell explained that at the December 11, 1999 commission meeting, the MCSC reviewed and approved the staff recommendations of the 1998 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant (MI-VIG) applications. At that time seventeen organizations were approved for 1999 MI-VIG program funding for a total amount of $805,000. In order to encumber the full one million dollar state allocation, the MCSC staff requested approval to offer a second round of 1999 MI-VIG funds. Mr. Caldwell stated that the following has occurred or will occur over the next quarter: grants were issued to all grantees, the MCSC hosted the first MI-VIG grantee meeting, the MCSC is developing a second round 1999 MI-VIG application, and visits to program sites will be scheduled to take place over the next three months. 4. Learn and SERVE Community-based Grants (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC sent out Notice of Funds Available postcards and hosted two conference calls to assist potential applicants with the application process. As a result, the MCSC received a total of five renewal applications and six new program applications. A staff review of all renewal applications and a peer and staff review of the new applications were conducted. Renewal applicants were provided with feedback sheets that included lists of both strengths and areas for improvement. Renewal applicants were given time to respond in writing to the areas for improvement. After conducting a peer and staff review, the MCSC staff recommends: 1. Renewal funding for Volunteer Muskegon, City of Portage/Portage Senior Center, MSU 4-H Foundation for MSU Extension 4-H Youth Programs of Oakland County, and Onekama Consolidated School Education Foundation. The four renewal applicants responded satisfactorily to the issues raised during the staff review. 2. Provisional funding for Youth Volunteer Corps of Alpena County. Due to illness, the renewal applicant was granted a three-day extension for responding to their feedback. The areas for improvement listed during the staff review were not of critical concern and the staff is confident that the weaknesses will be addressed by April 1, 1999. 7 �·- 3. That the new applications from the three Lake Huron Area Council #265, Boy Scouts of America programs, the Grand Ledge D.A.R.E./Grand Ledge Skate Committee, Camp Fire Boys and Girls Wathana Council, and EightCAP, Inc. not receive funding. Based on the approval of these recommended applications, $83,527 of the $157,500 FY99 Learn and SERVE-Michigan (CBO) budget will be expended. Our goal is to expend 100% of the available federal funds. Accordingly, a second round of grants will be made available to allocate the remaining $73,973 and any 1998 carry-over. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. Motion passes unanimously. Ms. Salas talked about the work she has been doing with Karen Todorov of the Michigan Department of Education. Ms. Salas stated that they had been working on a strategic plan and there would be a Service-Learning Leadership Council meeting at Sugar Loaf Resort which would involve Michigan Department of Education, Council of Michigan Foundations, W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the MCSC. Mter this meeting there will be a policy planning meeting in May to discuss the development of policies for the long-term sustainability of service-learning in Michigan. B. Outreach and Fund Development - Lindy Lange 1. Sixth Annual Governor's Service Awards Ms. Lange announced that the Sixth Annual Governor's Service Awards dinner will be May 17, 1999 at the Novi Hilton, in conjunction with Grantmak:ers-Grantseekers. Ameritech has graciously agreed to sponsor this year's dinner and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan will sponsor the reception. 2. Legislative Breakfast Briefing Packet The legislative event "Celebrating Michigan's Volunteers" will be April22, 1999 and will start at 7:30a.m. at the Lansing Center. Ms. Lange explained that the purpose of this event is designed to provide an opportunity for the MCSC and others to share information on the state of volunteerism in Michigan with the Michigan Legislature. 3. ConnectMichigan Campaign Ms. Lange gave an update on the ConnectMichigan campaign and stated that the latest newsletter was mailed to the MCSC database in January. At the present time there are 60 ConnectMichigan billboards posted throughout Michigan. Ms. Lange stated that the ConnectMichigan campaign will be working on some radio PSA which should ready in about a month. Ms. Lange announced that the campaign will be highlighted at the legislative event on April22, 1999. The MCSC in conjunction with the Volunteer 8 �Centers of Michigan will be taking the ConnectMichigan display to the Points of Light Foundation conference in Las Vegas in June. C. Finance and Administration - Garry Gross 1. Budget FY 1998-99 - New Format Mr. Gross explained his memo and revised financial statement contained in the commissioner packet. Mr. Gross stated that the one-page sheet totals up all the different funding sources to offer a simple one-page recap. Mr. Gross stated that an updated Comparative Financial Statement that includes a breakdown of funds with dates was passed out today for commissioner review and comments. Mr. Gross explained that the Commission general format has changed because it is based upon the standard State of Michigan budget reporting system. Mr. Gross stated that the MCSC has filled six positions (2-Michigan's AmeriCorps Coordinators, Training and TA coordinator, Communities of Promise Coordinator, 2-support staff) and only has two vacancies left to fill (Director of Programs and Outreach Coordinator). Mr. Gross updated the Commission regarding the two vacancies within the MCSC and explained that the process is going through the Civil Service system. 2. Grants Monitoring - Site Visits Mr. Gross stated that the MCSC has entered into an agreement with an outside vendor to perform a complete round of fiscal site visits to all our AmeriCorps sites. Due to the amount of time that a staff member would have to devote to this large undertaking, it was determined that it was in the best interest of the MCSC to contract it out and have them done in a short time period. Based upon the results of this test trial, we may look at utilizing a contractor for the financial monitoring of all our grants. Mr. Gross stated that he would still perform fiscal visits to sites encountering problems. 3. Michigan Auditor General - On-Site Audit Mr. Gross stated that the internal audit on the Michigan's AmeriCorps program was going well. The auditors are finalizing their work in our office and the MCSC should be receiving the internal memorandum with their findings within a month. Mr. Gross explained that this audit will help the MCSC because it will have give us a clear understanding of what systems have worked and what have not worked and provide an opportunity to change the systems to better serve the MCSC needs. VI. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of his Executive Director's Report which was included in their commissioner packet. Mr. Caldwell explained that his report was broken up into two parts which include: Making It Happen and Insights on the Vision. In the Making It Happen section, Mr. Caldwell explains the events and programs that are currently operating 9 �in Michigan from America's Promise, Michigan's AmeriCorps, Learn and SERVE Michigan, Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants, ConnectMichigan, Make A Difference Day, to Training and Technical Assistance to the strong staff at the MCSC and the development of commissioner boards which continue to make our commission even stronger. In the Insights on the Vision section, Mr. Caldwell explains that the MCSC needs to develop common principles and build a plan for sustainability not only for the MCSC but also for the field. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC needs to develop a plan on how to position the MCSC to deal with the loss of Governor Engler and Chairperson Engler as the Governor is serving his last term. Mr. Caldwell introduced the MCSC staff, new and old, and gave a brief description of their roles with the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell talked about the new standing committees that will be developed under the MCSC and how commissioners will then be working even closer with the MCSC staff. VII. New Business- Kyle Caldwell A. Michigan Community Service Commission Commissioner Retreat on September 24-25, 1999 Mr. Caldwell explained that the next commission meeting will be at Days Inn in Mackinaw City on September 24, 1999. Following the commission meeting there will be a reception at the Governor's Residence at Mackinac Island. On September 25, 1999 there will be a commissioner retreat at Mackinac Island. Mr. Caldwell stated that there will be a facilitator for the retreat and other experts in the field to assist with the retreat. Chairperson Engler stated that she hopes all the commissioners would be able to attend and that this will be a very important retreat for everyone to attend. Mr. Caldwell explained the briefing packet for the legislative breakfast that each commissioner received at the meeting. Mr. Caldwell gave a brief overview of how the packet was laid out and what information was covered in the briefing. Commissioner Cummings asked if commissioners would get a document that gave the history of our programs with a glossary of terms and an overview of the MCSC funding in preparation for the September Retreat.

On May 4, 1999, I served as the Executive Director (ED) of the MCSC for exactly one year. It seems appropriate that the members of the Commission provide feedback to the ED on his performance in carrying out his duties. I know that at one time there had been a system in place for evaluating the performance of the ED and that it was to be an annual ritual. I would encourage the Executive Committee to discuss this process soon so that a recommendation may be proposed at the September meeting. If there are no objections, I will add this to end of our agenda for Friday. I am attaching a more refined draft of the program/agenda for the September retreat for us to use as a point of discussion. Please add this to your materials for the Executive Committee meeting. Just as a reminder, the meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. EST via conference call. You must dial 1-800-659-8292 and inform the operator that Kyle Caldwell is the chairperson for the call to be tied into the call. Thank you. �• DRAFT working agenda - Sc he d ueI MCSC Ret reaL, t Sep1em t ber 24 25 1999 Time Activity Comments FRIDAY Evening Guests from Florida and Texas describe their commission in state context and what has worked for them Diana facilitate and also elicit any information from commissioners about other state commission structures 9 am Warm up Modified version of charadescommissioners in two teams, commissioners each write the most outrageous profession they ever thought of pursuing or wish they had thought of! Members of opposite team need to act out for their team 9:30 9:40 Review goals and agenda Review of our history, critical choices and benchmarks, key challenges and disappointments as well (What do we do most effectively? What do we do that no one else is doing?) We will want to give some important reference materials to participants so that they have some base knowledge. Sort of a brief generic history of the MCSC and allow them to fill in the blanks as they see fit. Break Who are we today? MCSC staff will provide a briefing of all the current initiatives of the MCSC so that participants have some reference materials. SATURDAY 10:45 11:00 11:30 Where do we want to be a year from now? four years from now? 12:00 1:00pm. Lunch What is the work we'll need to do this year? First, is there any old baggage that we need to leave behind? Get agreement on the large goals that need to be achieved (those that are the responsibility of the commission to lead) Commissioners in small groups, with at least one senior member in each. Each team brainstorms on post-its critical moments and decisions in the organization's history. Senior members then reconstruct timeline using the post-its (MCSC staff will act as recorders in each group) Elevator speeches-each commissioner has five minutes to draft the thirty second response they would give if they had a MCSC nametag on in the elevator and another rider said "what's that?" Ask about a dozen to perform, look for key words and phrases, get agreement from commissioners that this is an accurate description Michelle and Kyle share their visions, commissioners add theirs-lead into afternoon work-What will we need to do to get there? Burning bowl exercise if needed (What is this exercise? Burning paper messages of baggage items? Develop list of large goals that need to be achieved Divide into groups of three, choose three priorities �1:45 Are we organized appropriately to get this work done? What might we do differently? 2:00 Task work groups Combine into groups of six to agree on four priorities, into groups of twelve to agree on four Explore committee (and organizational) structures, make adjustments if necessary Choose six of the priorities, ask who has energy to spend the next twenty minutes doing some planning around that priority Task-in twenty minutes identify the benchmarks-what will be the product or result that will show success in one year and what are the quarterly measures along the way? Report out from groups 3:00 Wrap-up Reassign whatever priorities remain to other volunteers, give them fifteen minutes to work and then do final report out Each commissioner "stand and declare" what they can be counted on to deliver on behalf of the commission Thank vous and anv loose ends Do you feel there is enough activity around Espirit de Corps? What can people do in a quick exercise that will allow them to "build something" as a group and then reflect on their accomplishments? Or what can we do to further break the ice? What do you think about the participants filling out a questionnaire that will ask them some key questions in advance and that would include the information for the ice breakers and then using that information to set up some exercises in advance? I am thinking that we could have enough material to do a quick ice breaker between various parts of the day. In the NSLI training that I just completed we did a quick version of "What's My Line?" where the responses to "The strangest thing that ever happened to me was...... " were gathered in advance and the participants were choosen to be on a three-member panel to all tell the same story and the rest of the room had to guess which two were lying. It's a great way for people to share something about themselves while drawing others into the conversation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Alliance will initially consist of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) and the ConnectMichigan Campaign Partners. VCM and MCC will be permanently housed with in the Alliance along with a number of programs and funding sources currently housed in the MCSC and MNA. MCSC, VCM, MCC and MNA are permanent member of the Alliance. The graphic in Appendix 1 illustrates the changes (see Appendix 1). Essentially, the MCSC and MNA will modify their current respective functions to ensure that they are~ot competing and are executing support functions for the field that are effective and efficient. ?::~~;; . ~,_,_;,_,(~i,/ ('-' • The Alliance will be estaQ!i~h,ed as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization comprised a board of dire9tors consjstiilg of not more than six members nominated and approved by MNA .and MGSC.

America's/Michigan's Promise The MCSC held a two day meeting September 30 - October 1, 1998 in Lansing for the Communities of Promise and those Michigan communities interested in becoming Communities of Promise. More than 80 individuals representing twenty communities attended the meeting. Several staff members from America's Promise participated in the meeting. Ms. Kaiser stated that on October 24, 1998, she and Kyle Caldwell attended a meeting of select state commissions, hosted in Fort Worth, Texas, by the Association of State Service Commissions (ASSC) and America's Promise. The purpose of the meeting was to help develop an America's Promise best implementation practice guide. The guide is due to be published in late winter or early spring. The MCSC in cooperation with Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF) will be establishing a Communities of Promise coordinator position. This position will coordinate the activities of Michigan's Promise including heading up the Michigan's Promise Fellows program, the coordination of the 15 Communities of Promise, brokering of state level commitments, and working on the development of tracking mechanisms for local communities. Resumes are being accepted until December 23, 1998. The position is expected to be filled by January 31, 1998. On September 10, 1998 the MCSC submitted a grant to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) for the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program requesting 20 fellows be placed throughout the state in Communities of Promise to coordinate local efforts. The MCSC received notification from the CNS that we will receive a grant of $145,000 to fund 13 fellows. The MCSC issued a request for proposals to all Communities of Promise for the 13 fellows. The MCSC received seven applications requesting a total of 13 fellows. 4 �The MCSC staff recommended the following: A) Funding for Marquette Alger Intermediate School District for one AmeriCorps Promise Fellow. B) Provisional funding for the Capital Area United Way, the Volunteer Center for Isabella County, Pathways to Healthy Living, Eastern Upper Peninsula Community Foundation Alliance, Heart of West Michigan United Way, and EightCAP provided the applicants fully address the issues outlined in staff review comments. The application revisions are due to the MCSC on December 16, 1998. Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Wesaw seconded the motion. The motion was approved by unanimous vote with one abstraction by Commissioner Brandell. 3. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) The MCSC mailed more than 6,000 postcards announcing the availability of funds for the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants. The MCSC hosted two conference calls on October 5, 1998 to assist potential applicants with the application process. The MCSC disseminated more than 550 copies of the application materials. A total of 24 applications were received by October 21, 1998 requesting more than $1.3 million in state support. Of the 24 organizations that applied, 13 are previous recipients of a Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant. The MCSC conducted a peer review of the applications on November 9, 1998 and a staff review on November 16, 1998. After conducting a peer and staff review, the MCSC staff recommends: a) Provisional funding at the requested level for the Volunteer Center of the Tri-Cities, the Volunteer Center of Isabella County, Lighthouse of Oakland County, the Resource Center, the Volunteer Center of Northwestern Michigan, ENRICH of Ionia County, the Jackson Nonprofit Support Center, Dickinson Community Resource Center, the Barry County United Way, and the Voluntary Action Center of Midland County provided the applicants fully address the weaknesses outlined to them through the staff and peer reviewer comments. The application revisions are due to the MCSC on December 7, 1998. Commissioner Newport moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Scott Smith seconded the motion. The motion was approved by unanimous vote with one abstraction by Commissioner Brandell. b) Provisional funding at the requested level for the Marquette County Volunteer Center, Volunteer Muskegon, the Southwestern Michigan Volunteer Center, Volunteer and Information Services, and the Albion Volunteer Service Organization provided the applicants fully address the weaknesses outlined to them in the peer and staff reviewer comments and fulfil the endowment obligations of the FY97-98 Michigan's VIG agreement. 5 �Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion. Commissioners approved the recommendation unanimously. c) Provisional funding at a reduced level for the Keweenaw Children's Museum (requested $1 00,000/MCSC recommendation $50,000) and the Volunteer Center of Otsego County (requested $50,000/MCSC recommendation $25,000) provided the applicants fully address the weaknesses outlined to them in the staff and peer reviewer comments. This recommendation was based on the organizations demonstrated capacity to raise funds. If the organizations demonstrate their ability to meet the $1-to-$1 match for the approved amount, they may then be eligible to apply for a larger amount in a second round of funding for FY99. Commissioner Newport moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Meg Smith seconded the motion. Commissioners approved the recommendation unanimously. d) That the Alpena Volunteer Center, Volunteer Center of MidMichigan, Save Our Sons and Daughters, Cass County Council on Aging, Branch County Community Foundation, Lenawee County United Way and Volunteer Center, and the Alliance for Safer, Greater Detroit do not receive funding. Commissioner Scott Smith moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Lenz seconded the motion. Commissioners approved the motion unanimously with one abstraction from Commissioner Newport. e) An additional $500 to cover the travel costs to attend the Michigan's VIG program's training and development opportunities be granted to all applicants that did not request the maximum amount of $100,000. Commissioner Meg Smith moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. Commissioners approved unanimously. Based on the approval of these recommended applications, $862,000 of the $1,000,000 FY98-99 budget will be expended as of December 11, 1998. Staffs goal is to expend as much of the state allocation as possible as the funds may not be carried over to the next fiscal year. Accordingly, a second round of grants will be made available to allocate the remaining $138,000 as well as any funds remaining as a result of program attrition. Second round funds will be available to a combination of current and new applicants. Commission Newport suggested that extra VIG funds to go to new programs instead of increasing the funding of existing successful programs. 6 �C. Finance & Administration - Gany Gross 1. Budget FY 1998-99 Mr. Gross updated the Commission on the vacancies within the MCSC and explained the process through the Civil Service system. Mr. Gross updated the Commission on fiscal year close out activities and explained that as in the past the MCSC faces many of the same issues affecting it's fiscal year close out including numerous grants ending at different times, closing out sub grants from grantees, working with the CNS on the administrative application and budget for the next grant year, reconciling with the state budget process as the state does not close out its books and accounting until after the end of the calendar year, and working with the Department of Management and Budget to process both a budget request/increase for General Fund support (GF) and requesting a work project extension for fiscal year 1998 funds. Mr. Gross explained the two Comparative Financial Statements for both fiscal year (FY98) ending September 30, 1998 and the new fiscal year (FY99) starting October 1, 1998. Mr. Gross informed the Commission that the MCSC has been notified by the Michigan Jobs Commission that it will be part of the department-wide federal funds audit being conducted by the Inspector General of the State of Michigan. Vice Chairperson Pruitt suggested that the budget reporting form be modified. Mr. Gross stated that he will look into changing the format as the current structure doesn't allow for easy reading. 2. VIG FY 1997-98, 1998-99 Mr. Gross stated that the VIG reports had been covered by Ms. Kaiser in her VIG program reports. IV. Executive Director's Report and Status Update- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell explained how the new executive director's report will be written and what they will cover. There will be two separate components of the MCSC. One will cover "Insights on the Vision" which will detail what progress the MCSC is making toward meeting the goals of its vision for service and volunteerism in Michigan. The second will cover "Making It Happen" which will detail how the MCSC commissioners, staff, partners and constituents are all working together to make service and volunteerism a way of life for all Michigan citizens. Mr. Caldwell suggested that the Chairperson present a formal resolution to Paula Kaiser thanking her for all the excellent work she accomplished for the Commission. Vice Chairperson Pruitt moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Cummings seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 7 �Mr. Caldwell also suggested that the Chairperson present a formal resolution to Daphne Wells thanking her for her fine work on behalf of the Commission. Commissioner Orosz move to approve the resolution and Commissioner Cummings seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. A copy of the MCSC Service Performance Survey Results was handed out to Commissioners and Mr. Caldwell explained the findings and that the data collected points to two glaring findings. First, the MCSC staff are demonstrate a willingness to be flexible on budgetary matters and in the application process and timely responses to phone calls in general inquiries. Second, the data demonstrated that the MCSC staff, specifically within the AmeriCorps area, did not provide adequate and timely feedback to programs on reports or applications submitted to MCSC. In general, this data points to an issue of which the MCSC is keenly aware--the staffing levels assigned to the programming area is inadequate to support the programs MCSC funds. Commissioner Pritchard asked if the grantees will get a report on the total results. Mr. Caldwell responded by that they will receive a copy of the report at the Program Director's meeting. Mr. Caldwell also stated to insure confidentiality all results will be reported in the aggregate and no individual program will be identified in the results. Mr. Caldwell informed Commissioners that all of them would be involved with the Legislative Breakfast. And it was important to have everyone involved with their support and knowledge in assisting legislators to understand who we are and what we are trying to accomplish at the MCSC. Commissioner Cummings suggested that Commissioners visit with their local legislators and wanted the MCSC to give them talking points regarding key issues. Commissioner McCarthy stated she would be willing to talk with her legislators about the work of the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell informed the Commission that he is working with the Governor's Office to provided them with information on Michigan's Promise and the MCSC for possible inclusion in the State of the State address. Governor John Engler made a special appearance and presented resolutions to departing members of the Commission and staff members of the MCSC. The following were honored: Commissioner Pritchard, Commissioner Scott Smith, Ms. Paula Kaiser and Ms. Daphne Wells. Governor John Engler applauded the Commissioners and the staff of the MCSC for all their work and dedication in the field of volunteerism and service. Vice Chairperson Pruitt asked Governor Engler if he had any suggestions on putting together the Legislative Breakfast. The Governor suggested that the breakfast be on a Wednesday or Thursday, and one or two people from each district assist the MCSC in getting legislators to attend. The Governor also suggested that down the road the MCSC might plan a Legislator Aide luncheon to help to familiarize them with the MCSC . Vice Chairperson Pruitt proposed a resolution to acknowledge the support and dedication of the Governor to the MCSC. Commissioner Cummings made a motion to support the resolution and Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 8 �V. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Vice Chairperson Pruitt Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated that the items he was going to discuss had already been covered during the Executive Director's Report. B. Board Development Committee - Dorothy Johnson (Terry Pruitt) Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated that the Board Development Committee (BDC) had expected to submit a formal list of proposed new commissioners today but the process has not been completed. A formal list of recommendations should be completed in the next thirty days and will be sent to Commissioners in the near future. Vice Chairperson Pruitt explained the MCSC Commissioner Roles and Expectations document. Vice Chairperson Pruitt noted that if approved, the document will be incorporated into the MCSC Operating Procedures. Vice Chairperson Pruitt asked that the Commission approve the BDC recommendations. Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve and Commissioner Williams seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Orosz asked if commissioners can recommend people to the BDC to be consider for the Commission. Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated that commissioners were more than welcome to suggest new commission members but explained that they are appointed by the Governor and the MCSC would forward any new member resumes to the Governor's Office for consideration in the appointment process. Commissioner Cummings suggested that present commissioners might mentor new commissioners. Vice Chairperson Pruitt agreed and will discuss with theBDC. VI. New Business A. Commissioner Retreat Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated the MCSC is working to have the commissioner retreat at Mackinac Island in the fall of 1999 and notification will be sent to them as soon as all details are confirmed. B. Future MCSC Meeting Dates (secure host sites) Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated the 1999 meeting dates had been approved and that staff are looking for commissioners to host the April and September meetings and asked that commissioners interested in hosting a meeting should contact Mr. Caldwell. VII. Public Comment Mr. Sam Singh gave a special thank you to Paula Kaiser and Daphne Wells for the hard work and support they have given to the Michigan Nonprofit Association over the past few years. 9 �Commissioner Williams offered Paula Kaiser a special thank you for her contribution and work as she was instrumental in the development of Detroit's Promise. Ms. Jocelyn Yanda thanked Paula Kaiser and Daphne Wells for their work and continued support to Family Independence Agency AmeriCorps program. Commissioner Pritchard thanked the Commission for allowing her to be a part of the MCSC and work in the field of volunteerism and service.

Michigan Community Service Commission OperatingPr '<;••V es �Introduction Michigan is a leader in national service and volunteerism. Michigan has an solid reputation for building an infrastructure of relationships, programming and funding support mechanisms that bolster the ethic that posits that service to community and one's fellow citizenry is one our nation's greatest assets. Part of that reputation was built by the participation of key leaders and leader organizations. Outside of the tremendous contributions of the Michigan citizens, a significant contribution to that reputation can be traced the work of Michigan's public service leaders and philanthropic institutions. Michig~;:hommunity _,.- <:>>~< Service Commission (MCSC), a fundamental component of ','"'' Michigan'~Serlice anevolunteer infrastructure, grew out of an extensive planning process hosted~f?ythe W.K.. Govem~r JobA,E~~tin gg ~Qundation and was officially created by an executive order of ... · i 1991. Established in state law with the overwhelming bipartisan support oftheMlchigan~gislature in the summer of 1994, MCSC is chaired by ' ., '·' ~ ' -;, '' Engler and serv~s as a nonpartisan commission that Michigan's First Lady;;Mic A '<\ //,<' promotes, supports and admuU§ters national arid community service programs and various <:~:-~. ;_-·-': . ~~~r~c other volunteer efforts across the great sUtle,:~f Michigan ........ .' ">>''' ' ' "''i'/ MCSC current operates with the support of ~'itttetsive network of profit and ""/?' • ·.·,·\vy : "• nonprofit organizations. It is because of its ~orkto.:4evel~p meaningful partnerships that MCSC is seen as a convener. From its very beginnings, MCSC has wt>})ced with -<t:·:::·;:;:;:.;~· .··:·:''.>·/·;·. . organizations from the various sectors of our society to build a m~gful and lasting relationships that serve the fields of national service and voluntoorism. Contributions, advice and support from organizations including Ameritech, Council of Michigan Foundations, C.S. Mott Foundation, Dow Coming Corporation, Lovelight Foundation, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, United Way of Michigan, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and many more, have developed an idea into a reality. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page I �MCSC survives in a stable political landscape. The re-election of one of Michigan's most popular Governors has provided the MCSC a secure leadership with the continuity of the First Lady's role as chairperson and the continuing administrative support relationship with the highly successful Michigan Jobs Commission. On several levels, the MCSC is well positioned. That positioning, albeit surprisingly comprehensive, is extremely fragile. Several factors, working together or independently, can threaten the success and even future existence of the MCSC. Threats M<;JSC:is thre~ltfned by several very real potential factors: 1. l:.oss of ~rshi"Q~ .While Michigan's Governor Engler was recently re-elected to an third tel.lU (~on&~~:higan' s Chief Executives and a ringing endorsement by the v.·.· ,<--;>:X::tK·-~,;· voters to his vision, le~e~p and dedication), this will serve as his last due to term limits. No one individualha~,~~n supportive of tqe Michigan Community Service Commission than John Engl~l+with the poS$iple exception of his greatest ally and life, .·.·. ;:<·>>:·· partner, First Lady and MCSCChair, Mic~etleEngler. Thegovernor has committed to serving out his full four-year term. How~v:er, given . vernGl;' s overwhelming popularity both in Michigan and nationally, there will no·~bubt be a long succession of national leaders courting the Governor to join their team of innovators ~dlstl:iange agents. The loss of this leadership team. whether in four years or sooner.";Btllll~~ve tti;MCSC in <S-<:'~:>•v:: •• an extremely vulnerable position. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 2 �2. Administrative Home and Stability. The MCSC was initially housed in the Michigan Department of Labor and transitioned to the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) in 1993. In 1994, with overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature, the MCSC was codified in statute and permanently assigned to the MJC. MJC has provided exemplary logistical and administrative support to the MJC in areas including personnel matters, financial management, federal and state reporting, access to the legislature, and many other staff time intensive tasks. Unfortunately, the MJC's future could fall prey to changing political whims and morays of future administrations and legislatures. It is unclear if the ¥GSC. as a body codified in law within an agency that is not. would survive if the MJC W~~ redes}ined or eliminated. ;)-~'\- ' ;:~> .,a. ,Financial.ltesources. <\:>';'': • lean and cost-e /)'~;(,.:::-,., • Since its inception in 1991, the MCSC has operated on a "v . ,:~e ad .· ./ 'ft~t finance model. Currently, the MCSC administers over $5 million in priv·~~$~t~ andf,~deral funds. The staff support over 70 separate grantees; host several$~tewjq~ev~~~ including the Make-A-Difference Day campaign, the ConnectMichigan Campaign1 ,~ovemor' s SeMce Awards, Volunteer Superconference, :> statewide signature service projects for natiO'!'J.al service pt:(j}$fams, and many others; publish over a dozen widely distributed vqlunteer field y,,:;,: -.and other communication mechanisms; orting documents, websites, and.~UPE9!1 tbe vqlgnteerfi,ld. in several other 'A'o~C·'/<">'"''' ways generally. The MCSC does all of this on a rdughly $350,000 sta~e admipistrative budget. Clearly, this is not typical among state governmental org~tions. The MCSC prides itself on its work versus cost rate. One of the many facto~ithat support this philosophy is the tried and true dedication level of the MCSC staff and their willingness to work beyond the traditional 9 to 5 work parameters. Other factors include free office space, free computer technical assistance and support, and a myriad of other overhead costs from which the MCSC if freed by its current fortunate administrative support position. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 3 �MCSC' s current $350,000 financial support through state appropriations is woefully inadequate should the MCSC need to pay for costs currently not billed to the MCSC. Should the MCSC need to secure office space. logistical and financial management support and the need to secure quality personnel through increasing salaries and benefits an additional $1.5 million in annual state appropriations will be needed. 4. Name Recognition. A chronic dilemma for the MCSC has been how to balance its purpose and drive to support the field of volunteerism without being self serving while also modestly promoting itself to secure support in various sectors of society including the state legislaturt;(, local leaders in communities and the national and community service field nationally. 'fli~ MCS~ is a major player behind the scenes on many programs and initi~t~v~~;around the.; stAte and in many communities, but does not promote its own press in :<:),;:.. ;c · In<~desty has lead the MCSC to an enviable and an effort to re simultaneously unenvij and key communicy · "'sitiqp+4h.e MCSC is unknown by most Michigan legislatures f~~rs .. ;i[{~'isenviable because the MCSC is rarely in the spot light <>> of the annual appropriationsP.r.ocess. This is unenviable because as the MCSC needs to articulate a need for increase in sfllte approp~ations, it ha§gpqtried and true ties to key legislative leaders nor to their local consti~hts. Th~.~~need.s to gain recognition for ;)~/<~,', vv"v c<; c its comprehensive and excellent support of the field.of~olYJlteerism in Michigan and •'" •• cc";,<?:(J" d.;< '• nationally and articulate that work to the state legislature and key cornmunity'l¥aders. 5. Closely tied to the state's current chief executive. It is ~~~ge to p~se this very productive relationship as a threat, however it is a relationship thatby its very nature (close tie to an elected official) is unstable at best. Many have stated that the MCSC is vital and valuable because of its ability to have access to the leadership of state government. It (MCSC) is also seen as unique in its ability to play a convener of all sectors of our society (public, private and social) to discuss openly the issues related to national and community service. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 4 �The MCSC is the one place where all may come to discuss issues of community problem solving because the MCSC does not take a particular political position. Rather, the MCSC acts as the hub for this type of dialog. Without its close ties to the state's chief executive and leadership of the legislature. it will be handicapped in its ability to gain the attention of policy makers on matters related to the field. Access and influence ability of the MCSC must constantly be analyzed. visited. bolstered and secured. MCSC must transition. Here are two possible options: 1. Continue to develop intimate and meaningful relationships with the Governor's Office, Lie"@~Jlant G.·· rnor' s Office and leadership of the legislature in hopes of building , --;~_:;.lc::~~-, ; similar r~lationshipsu e one. that currently exists and MCSC hopes to develop in the near future. 2.

As we discussed, we need to form strategies around the following: 1 Who should be invited and by whom? 2. What should the point of contact be for RSVP's? 3. Where are programs located within voting districts and who are our key contacts in those communities? 4. How will we gauge turn out size and who will be responsible for making key decisions? 5. What are our primary goals for this event? I am only able to answer the last point at this time. The MCSC will be seeking increases in its state appropriations for the 2000 fiscal year to support its state and national volunteer support initiatives. Additionally, the MCSC will be seeking to revise its legal status. Public Act 219 does not provide for the MCSC's future should the Michigan Jobs Commission cease to exist in its current form. In fact, the MCSC is codified in law, where the MJC is not. We will need bipartisan support if we are to ensure passage of any new legislation. Finally, and most importantly, the field will need the support of legislators as we enter a new age of devolution. I have asked Kathy to reserve the Radison for the 24th and 31st of March. I would like to request your help in ensuring the success of this initiative given that the MCSC is short staffed and you are uniquely qualified. We have to ensure that we conduct this event to gain support of the new legislature. May I suggest that we meet to discuss how we "divide and conquer" these tasks. Thanks. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.

How many legislators nominated outstanding volunteers, and how many attended the recognition breakfast? 2. To what extent did the awards help build support for service and volunteerism across the state? 3. What are the prospects for continuation of the awards program in the future? �BWK.KillOCC ~-, FOl.Jl'.O\TJON FINAL REPORT GUIDELINES The final report from your project to the Kellogg Foundation is an important document. It is a permanent record of what you have achieved and what you have learned in the process. This report helps to shape future grant-making directions for the Foundation. The final report has two parts. First, it should address the results of the just-completed project year in terms of what was planned, what was accomplished, and what factors helped or hindered the attainment of goals. Second, it represents a thoughtful, critical synthesis of the important lessons learned and outcomes over the life of the project. (See ''Project Director's Opinion.") The format below may help you prepare a final report by providing a checklist for the critical thinking process. You should be especially attentive to addressing within this format, the important evaluation questions for your project. Project Summary This introduction to the full report tells the reader what to expect by "setting the scene." Succinctly restate the project's intended goals, the strategies you have undertaken to achieve them, and the methods by which you are evaluating these efforts. Weave into this brief summary the important questions for evaluation which were stated in your commitment letter. Note if changes have been made in any goals or strategies. Progress Toward Goals A. Outcomes Respond to the specific outcomes questions for your project. In addition, if not already addressed, please consider the following: 1. Summarize your achievements. 2.

KELLOGG FOUNDATION News Release Guidelines To help people help themselves A well-written news release can be an excellent tool for generating media interest in your Kellogg Foundationfunded project. You will want to provide the media with thorough, accurate, and clear copy. The following guidelines will help you in preparing a news release. 1. State the grant's overall purpose clearly and precisely. Focus on how your project will improve the lives of people; relate the project to people, not institutions. 2. Give the source(s) of funding for the project, the dollar amount of the grant(s), and the period or duration of funding. 3.

Provide more detail on the objectives given in the lead paragraph. If appropriate, succinctly say why your institution is uniquely qualified or equipped to deal with the identified issue or problem. 4. Your draft could include brief, direct quotes from key spokespersons if such quotes offer additional newsworthy information. 5. Add standard paragraphs on the Kellogg Foundation, provided below: The W.K. Kellogg Foundation was established in 1930 to "help people help themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and that of future generations." Its programming activities center around the common visions of a world in which each person has a sense of worth; accepts responsibility for self, family, community, and societal well-being; and has the capacity to be productive, and to help create nurturing families, responsive institutions, and healthy communities. To achieve the greatest impact, the Foundation targets its grants toward specific focal points or areas. These include: health; food systems and rural development; youth and education, and higher education; and philanthropy and volunteerism. When woven throughout these areas, funding also is provided for leadership; information systems/technology; efforts to capitalize on diversity; and family, neighborhood, and community development programming. Grants are concentrated in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and southern Africa. If your project is funded through the Kellogg Foundation's Youth Initiatives Program in one of the three target areas in Michigan, also include the following information: This grant is a continuation of the Kellogg Youth Initiatives Program (KYIP), which is a long-term commitment by the Kellogg Foundation to help communities establish environments for young people that promote positive growth and development. KYIP serves three focus areas in Michigan, including Calhoun County, the Upper Peninsula counties of Alger and Marquette, and an inner-city segment of Detroit. Please note: The W.K.

This second and last grant request to the Ford Foundation will enable nn infonnal network of state service commissions to transition into a formal, nonprofit, member service organization serving all fifty state service cormnissions. The Ford Foundation grant will be matched by suppon already n::c~~:i ved from the Corporation for National Service and the Ev.ing Kauffman Foundation, as well as by investment support generated from state commissions. Background In 1990, President George Bush signed into law the first significant piece of domestic servke legislation in nearly a quarter of a century. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 provided a modest level of federal funding for state and local service corps, school~age youth service programs, college-based service programs, and competitively selected national service demonstration progrmns. Notably, much of the momentum behind the passage of this legislation can be: traced to the Ford Foundation's commitment to, and investment in youth service since the early 1980s. Leaders from Ford Foundation funded youth service program organizations such as the Constitutional Rights Foundation, the National Association of Service and Conservation Coxps, md Youth Service America were instrumental in shnping the key provisions of the 1990 Act. In fact, it was through Youth Service America and its working group on youth service policy that the term "Streams of Service'' was coined in order to bring greater coherence to what had been dispEU'B.te groups of programs that involved youth and shared a common commitment to service. The Youth Service America working group helped to cha:rmel the Streams of Service together to feed the youth service field and define the -basic elements of the 1990 Act. A linle noted, but strategically critical provision in the 1990 Act called for states to develop strategic plans for service, and encouraged states to fonn advisory councils or commissions to oversee and cootdinate the development a.o.d implementation of these plans. The idea behind the:sc: advisory commissions grew out the experience of successful state service coordinating entities in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The Massachusetts Youth Service Alliance, then directed by Joe Madison, functioned as a nonprofit coalition of programs commhted tn youth servict:. PcMServe, the Pennsylvania Office of Citizen Service, housed in the state's Department of Labor and Industry, which was then run by Harris Wofford, coordinated state funded youth service programs, primarily youth corps and the Peo.nsylvania Conservation Corps. T-he apparent success of these state entities was found in their ability to bring a level of coherence and coordination to state and local youth service programs and the effir..:acy of their s~e and national youth service advocacy. �Sent By: ASSC; 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:14AM; Page 7/13 Recognizina the strateiic value ofastate-levc:l coordinating entity for service, Youth Service America (YSA) worked aggressively to organize and facilitate the development of state service plans and state service commissions. While YSA invested a level of com:mi~ent in support of planning efforts in more than twenty states, Kansas and Michigan proved the most fertile territory for this denlopment work. In 1991, both states with the support of their aovemors, established service commissions in order to coordinate planning and development of state service activities. By linkini the function of these coaunissions to the broader strategic development of service as a strategy for community improvement, including its connection to job training, youth development, community and economic development, and volunteerism, planners hoped to avoid the programmatic segmentation that often occurs with federally funded initiatives. A related and cautionary example of program segmentation can be found in the development of state offices ofvolunteerism..Funded through grants ftom the federal ACTION Agency in the late 1970s, state offices ofvolunteerism were intended to support and assist in the coordination sentice and volunteer activities in the states, pnrticularly as they te!ated to ACTION programs like VISTA, RSVP, Senior Companion, and Foster Grandparents. These offices, by design mostly housed in the offices of governors, were also intended to promote a more energetic level of state support for :5ervice and voh.mteerl$m. Contrary to these intentions, the state offices developed unevenly. Federal funding stopped, governors' intere:;ts were never adequately piqued, and the offices drifted toward support of traditional volunteer activities without making the $trategic coimection to publicly funded service or service related programs. Most offices folded. Those that survived did so by be<:oming coopted by, or colUlected to state volunteer administrator networks. A!3 a result, as state service commissions began to emerge in the 1990s, govemors, state policy leaders, and even service s.d:vocates were hard pressed to see i.tnmediately the connections among the activities of the remaining state office of volunteerism and the service programs of the state service commissions. On the other hand, states like Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Kansas, California., Arkansas, and Pennsylvania viewed service as a strategy with many locally derived permutations for merging youth and community service, volunteerism, educational improvement, and community problem solving. These sta.te~ with well-developed service plans, effective capacity building strategies, strong collaborative networks, and established systems for program coordination proved to be most succc.ssful in taking advantage of the resources made available through the 1990 Act. Each state enjoyed a strong institutional body conceived for the purpose of supporting and coordinating service. The commissions of :Michigan and Kansas as well as PennServe and the Massachusetts Alliance became models for what the drafters of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 hoped would be a more robust commitment from the states to partner in support of the substantially increased federal commitment to national and community service. The Trust Act of 1993 began as the reauthorization of the 1990 Act and became the vehicle for fulfilling newly inauiurated President Bill Clinton's campaign pledge to launch the most ambitious national service program since Franklin Roosevelt's CCC. ln addition to creating the program that wa.o; later named AmcriCorps, the Trust Act fonnaliied a national system for 2 �sent sy: Assc; 843 723 6051 ; Jul-9-96 9:14AM; administering national service that relied heavily on an administrative partnership with the states, specifically state service commissions. States were no longer encouraged, but required by the Trust Act to establish service commissions or specifically designate an alternative administrative agency in order receive and then administer national service program fimds. The success of coordinated state service plans in places like Michigan and Massachusetts helped lead the Trust Act drafters to believe that the best way to institutionalize service in the states was through the institutional development of state commissions. State commissions were given responsibility for administerin~ two~ thirds of AmeriCorps funding, Learn and Serve community-based program fundina. as well as overseeing the coordination of. and statewide capacity buildil'l_g for all streams of national and community serv;ce and voluntcerism. The Trust Act also marked a shift from an emphasis on youth service to the more encompassing national service model. Yet advocates for using state service commissions as the administrative infrastructure for the national service system saw some peril in. this sudden reliance on the states for making national service work. Most states were Wlprepared, some were even resistant, while even those with the best track records were in a relatively fragile stage of development. Accordingly, YSA, along with Public/Private VentW"es, and the National Governors' Associationjoined in a Ford Foundation funded project to support the basic admi.'listrativc development of sti!.te service commissions and assess the effectiveness of their progress in launching and administering the national service program. This project led to a series of meetings with incoming commission directors and commission members. Th~ topir;;s of these meetings were concentrated around issues related to the oraanizationa.l start-up of state commissions and effective program practice. Commissions were concerned with how to run a competitive grant proce5S, administer AmeriCorps, and interact with the Corporation for National Service, which had been newly created by the Trust Act. For the majority of states national service was a relatively new concept. At the last of th~se n1eetings in St. Louis in February of 1995, a number of commission directors agreed that tbe agenda tailored to the unique needs of commissions and positive infonnational exchanges among commission peers provided by these meetings were an important complement 10 the periodic Corporation for National Service gatherings that concentrated on the technical aspects of administering AmeriCorps. In St Louis. the commission directors agreed that if commissions were to position themselves effectively in their states to support the broadest range of activities related to service and volWlteerism, then they needed opportunities for information sharing and peer technical assistance. The WJchigan Commission agreed to take: the lead in coordinating the development of this peer 5upport effort through monthly conference calls, regular mailings, and outreach to the Corporation for National Service and the Ford Foundation. The d~tor of the Michigan Commission. Frauk Dirks, who had worked~ a field operative for YSA durin& its early state commission development efforts, recruited Joe Madison, who had recently relocated to Michigan after resiping from his tenn a.or; ·director of the Massachusetts Commission, to assist with the inter-state coordination effort. Dirks nlso approached ~ Ford Foundation about building on the work of the fU"St grant by supporting the development of a peer support network among state service commissions. 3 Page 8/13 �Sent By: ASSCj 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:15AM; Page 9/13 This peer support network became known as the State Service Commission Network as its members gained greater self-awareness. The Network developed a productive relationship with the Corpora.tiont offering constructive, consensus recommendations for irnpr,oving policies and procedures as they related to the states. The Network also served as the vehicle for the Corporation to ensure that state commissio.o.s could provide oversiaht and guidance to its contracted technical assistance providers. The Corporation agreed to allow a Network work group to closely coordinate the activities of the Corporation's new state commission technical assi$Ul.Ilce provider, Aguirre International. Concurrently, in the early summer of 1996, the Ford Foundation awarded a ifMt to the Michigllfl Commission for the purpose of supporting the development of the peer network. Through meetings, conferences, and resource materials development, the grant enabled commissions to develop a areater self reliance while learning from each ether how to lailor their activities to meet the unique needs of states. The grant also enabled the network to develop a peer resource directory, which has been fUrther refined into a catalog ofbe:st practices for state eonunissions. At the Ford Foundation fUnded meeting in Midland, Michigan, Governor John Engler, and First Lady Michelle Engler, chair of the Michigan Commission, spoke compellingly of the need for states to develop strong service commissions. . The Midland meeting also marked the convergence of efforts by commission chairs and commissions directors to orpnize national netwocl<.s. Six weeks before the Midland meeting, chairs gathered for the fast time in Kansas City at a meeting funded by the Ewing Kauffman Fou!'lds.tion. Commission members, like commission staff recognized the importance of developing a strons national peer network to support their development in the states. At Mi~ commission members and staff agreed to join forces and undertake a process to transition the Network into an effective organization. A Steering Committee of commission members and directors was formed and set out to develop plans for organizing the network of commissions. At the same time the Steering Committee agreed to move slowly before committing to the formation of a formaJ organization. The Steering Committee is chaired Hershel Lamirand, a member and former chair of me Oklahoma Commission. The Vice Cb&r is Sue Donaldson, chair of the Washington State Commission and President of the Seattle City Council. Frank Dirks, who left the Michigan Commission in the fall, served as a volunteer coordinator before being the first staff retained by the Steering Committee in May 1998. While the Steering Committee produced newsletters for the network through the winter and worked closely with the Corporation on a number ot' issues it was not W1til the spring of 1998 that the activities of the Steering Committee accelerated. Tiris was due to the Cotporation' s commitment of resour~s to support peer exchanges among commission members and staff using the Steering Committee as the service delivery system. in addition, the Kauffman Foundation awardecl the Steering Comm.inee, by way of the Oklahorr.a Commission. a $50.000 ~t to support the network's organizational development. It was thi:s award that enabled the Steering Committee to retain Dirks. 4 �Sent By: ASSC; 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:15AM; Tn June of 1998, the Steering Committee met in Washington, D.C. to develop its plan for fonnally organi;Ung the service commission network. This meeting produced a mission statement and organizational goals and objectives conteined in the enclosed p~ket. The Steering Coll1Il1ittee agreed to rename the Network the Association of State Servic~ Commissions. The Steering Committee unanimously agreed to raise an initial funding goal for the Association of $25,000 from among 5tate commissions. Every member of the Steering Committee agreed to support the Association through their commissions. Also at this meeting. the Steering Committee prepared to unveil its agenda at a meeting of commission representatives from all the states at the National Service a.1.d Volunteer Conference cosponsored by the Corporation and the Points of Light Foundation. Th~ National Service and VolWJteer conference marked the highlight of the development of a formal network of state conunissions. The Steering Committee presented every commission representative with a presentation packet (enclosed). The Steering Committee also presented resource materials developed in cooperation with Aguirre International (as an outgrowth of the Network·s longstanding relationship with Aguirre) that included an Effective Practice Guide for State Commissions and a commission member "Tool Kit." Conunents back from commission members zmd staff were very positive. Everyone indicated an appreciation for the services provided by their new Association, and everyone present indicated general support for the ·direction set by the Steering Committee, although effective follow up communication will be critical. Throughout the development of the Association, the Corporation for National Service has been an enthusiastic advocate for a strong network of state service commissions. At every step in its development, even when uncomfortably prodded by the network of commissions, the Corporation has always worked to enable and suppott its development. Since early in 1997, th~ Corporation bas made a significant comminnent to what it calls devolution, what is effect is the transfer of increasing responsibility and flexibility to the state commission$ for administering and coordinating national s=:rvice in the states. Through its support of compreben~i Ye state service plans a.nd the tbllow on to the Presidents' Volunteer Summit, the Corporation has worked to position comm.i:ssions as the vital conduit linking all national service and volunteer programs in the states. I.n addition, the Corporation has looked to service commissioru; as the access point to governors, whom it hopes will become invested in service through their commissions and then, in twn lend their bi-partisan political support to the legislative agenda for national service in Washington. Because of the policy implications, and because it recognizes that for service commissions to excel they must be as attuned to the policy opportunities in their states as much as in Washington, the Corporation is limited in what it can do to directly support the development of the Association of State Service Commissions. The Corporation can provide a level of support for Association facilitated peer exchanges, but the Corporation cannot support the kind of organizational development activities necessary to make an effective member servic~ and public policy awareness organization. To be successful, the Association must have the capacity to keep 5 Page 10/13 �Sent By: ASSC; 843 723 6051; Page 11/13 members infonned about new program and policy developments, research, highlight, and disseminate examples of state policy initiatives in support of service, and conduct outreach to state and federal policy makers on the status of service in the states. Acco,r9.ingly, the Michigs.n Commission. on behalf of the Association is seeking this final grant from the Ford Foundation as an appropriate capstone to the Foundation's investment in the development of the state service conunissions. If the first gnnt could be viewed as getting the commissions up and nmning. and the second grant creating a network of like-minded peers1 this final gmnt will enable the commissions to fully form an association capable of carrying their interests forward and support the continued institutionalization of national and community service in the states. The grant will help create a unique national orsan.ization that in many respects fulfills the dreams expressed by members of the Ford Foundation funded YSA working group nearl)l' a decade ago. ·· Design The Michigan Commission will serve as fiscal aget1t for the grant and C()ntract with the Oklahoma Commission, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which serves as the administrative agency for the Assooiation of State Service Commissions. The grant will support internal conununications among corrunission members and staff from every commission in the country. The principal mechanism for this couununication system will be a monthly newsletter to the more than 1,000 individuals serving as commission members and sta..if across the country. The Association also will develop a highly detailed member data base for the purpose of targeted outreach. The newsletter will contain information items on program and policy developments in the states and at the federal level. The newsletter will also hi&hllght the effective practi(.:es of state commissions. The grant will support external commurueations to Association stakeholders including national service programs, Corporation staff, nonprofit oraanizations, grant makers, and state and federal policy makers. The principal mechanism for this communication system will be a quarterly newsletter (which will subsume the monthly) that highlights service and volunteerism in the states and effective practices for coordinating and collaborating among programs and networks. The quarterly newsletter will operate with an initial target circulation of 5,000 nationally. The grant will support targeted informational updates to governors. These quarterly governor updates will feature special achievements of state service commissions, and the governors role in support of them. These updates will also be used to introduce a performance renking system for commissions that is intended to foster constructive competition among states. Finally, the grant will support a share of the time of the Association's public affairs director, Frank Dirks. The public affairs director will coordinate development of strategic relationship::~ with such organizations as the Grant Makers' Forum for National and Community Service, America's Promise. and the Corporation for National Service. 6 �Sent By: ASSCj 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:~6AM; Page 12/13 Outcomes The grant will produce the following outcomes: 1) A highly developed internal communications system for the membership of the Association including a -'Ophisticated member data base. 2) Increased awareness among nonprofit organizations, national direct service programs. grant makers, and state and federal policy makers of the role and value of state service commissions. 3) Increased awareness of the role and value of state service commissions among governors. 4) A mirumum of sixteen internal network newsletters and eight quarterly 5ervice field newsletters. 5) A refined reader survey instrument for continuous quality improvement Sustainability The network has already received a. $50.000 grant from the Kauffman FoWldation to support organizational development. In addition, the Corporation for National Service bas committed support for peer exchanges facilitated by the Association, as w~ll a.s travel for commission members and Association Steering Committee members. This support recently enabled state commis5ions to send rcprcsenta.tives to the National Service and Volunteer Conference meeting. Beyond this support, the Steering Committee bas committed to raising an initial $25.000 from within the Association. In the long term, the Steering Committee is considering self~ financing mechanisms that could provide sufficient funding for sustaining the organization. In one model, commissions, based on budget size, would contribute between $500 and $3,500 annually producing an annual baseline operating budget of$120,000. The Steering Committee is confident that it will be able to provide the quality service that will make corrunissions want to contribute. However, the capital investment from sources like the Ford Foundation is critical. These funds make it possible for the Association to provide a level of setvice that will eventually entice every commission to want to invest as well. The Association has effectively captured the attention of every commi$siOn in the country. With the help of the Ford Foundation, the Association will be able to tum this interest into whal it hopes will be the nation's most effective support system for national and community service.

For the f1tst time since the reorganization of the service and volwueer field in 1993,48 state commissions on national and community service have come together to discuss how their unique and innovative efforts on behalf of the citizens of their respective states can be shared and perhaps improved. Of particular significance is the fact that these commissions have met, not solely as grantees of the Coql<>ration fnr National Sei.'Vice (as bas been the tradition), but as autonomous entities promoting community and national service in their stateS. Oearly, the state commissions' participation in the planning and forming of this network demonstrates the need for and utility of a coordinating and convening organization that can continue lh.is work. And while MCSC has played this role to date, another organization must be developed to speak for all state commissions. Michigan's support to this ~citing initiative-a network of state community service commissions-is demoll$tratcd in our participation in the attached proposal. but also in our two yeus of hard work and our commitment of .\lubstantial financial and human resources in developing the network. This is why we are proud and pleased to send you the enclosed proposal respectfully reque!iting a two--year commitment from the Ford Foundation in the amount of $100,000. 1bis support will allow ASSC to continue its efforts to sttengthen commissions, support the development of SllStainable community service initiatives, and infonn state commissions and their stakeholders of the impottance and value of national and corrununity service.

In addition to the attached renewal application, the below analysis is based upon: • • • • One Site Visit Progress Reports: 2nd quarter Weekly Phone Contact Other: Monthly Program Directors' Meetings 2 • Does the Commission believe that the program is meeting its annual objectives? If not, explain why. MCSC believes the Coordinating Literacy for America's Student's Success (CLASS) program is on track to accomplish their annual objectives. Progress is indicative of all objectives being met or exceeded. 3. Provide a concise summary of the program's service activities for the next year. The program's mission is to improve the reading/writing performance ofK-5 children through a tutoring/mentoring program, parental involvement, and community volunteerism. The goals of the program include increasing volunteer and parent participation in the literacy of children, establishing partnerships between institutions of higher education and the community, and promoting civic mindedness and community service among those involved in the program. 1 i 4. Pro.vide a clear analysis of this program's strengths and accomplishments which support the Commission's decision to request 1998-99 renewal funding. EMU and other CLASS partners have been dedicated and committed to helping CLASS accomplish its goals and objectives. They have further helped recruit volunteers, help members to find space for their programs, circulate flyers, and provide access to their supplies, materials, and computer equipment for preparation of flyers, handouts, and lessons. Efforts such as these have allowed the program to accomplish the following: • • To date, 221 kids have participated in the tutoring program at the school and community-based sites. More than 100 pre-service teachers are serving as volunteer tutors at the school sites. �• • • • • In addition to the 100 pre-service teachers, the program has recruited ~4 other volunteers The program has received a limited amount of in-kind community support through the donations of items for the program. The program is in the process of developing the parent component. Two parent workshops will be conducted in the next quarter. The program has addressed many of challenges of a first year program. During the ' first two quarters the program has enhanced overall program development, the recruitment and retention of the members, the overall quality of the tutoring program, the overall quality of member development, the communication channels among staff and sites, and the parent component of the program. The program has a broad understanding of MCSC' s overall evaluation expectations. They have collected all of the necessary information to report on the overall impact of the program at the end of the year. 5 . What challenges is this program currently facing? Describe the Commission's strategy for assisting this program with these challenges in the next program year. The primary challenge that the program has faced has been the recruitment and retention of one year part-time members. In order for the program to ensure that the one year part-time members will complete their 900 hours in a years time, the program needed to implement a summer program. MCSC has increased the formula award to EMU by $17,000 for year 2/3. Budget modifications were made to provide a honorarium to pay the program directors for the summer months. This funding was provided by EMU matching support due to the fact that the Volunteer Coordinator position had not been filled and six months of half-time salary and associated benefits were unexpended. MCSC has encouraged EMU to collaborate with AmeriCorps Oakland which has been successful with attrition for their one year part-time member slots. MCSC will assist the program with two formal site visits throughout the year. As a follow up to the site visit, MCSC will provide written feedback detailing strengths and weaknesses as well as recommendations for improvement. Support to address the areas of improvement includes phone consultations, sample documents, resource information, discussions at the monthly director meetings, and referrals to the national technical assistance providers 6. Hpw does this program support the Commission's vision as stated in the s~ate plan (or Unified State Plan)? Describe how it complements the state's existing portfolio. The program is consistent with the priorities established within the MCSC state plan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave . Bldg., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Executive Committee, Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director ~~ RE: Advisory concerning Michigan's AmeriCorps part-time member policy DATE: November 16, 1998 An unique and unforseen circumstance has recently come to the MCSC staffs attention concerning the multi-year, part-time member policy adopted by the Michigan Community Service Commission on February 14, 1997. As you may recall, the policy states that: "part-time members serving 900 hours over a two-year period may receive an education award, but are not eligible to receive a living allowance." The rationale for this policy revolved around the philosophy that the living allowance is intended to aid members in their ability to serve their nation and community through national service and that it was never intended to serve as a wage for services rendered. Additionally, the members of the MCSC felt that those members serving on a multi-year, part-time basis would be serving fewer than 10 hours per week in order to meet their required 900 hours and that many people serve in that capacity without major sacrifices to living standards. The Michigan 's AmeriCorps, CLASS program sponsored by Eastern Michigan University (EMU) recently brought to staffs attention, the unique circumstances that students in higher education experience. Briefly, the majority of students enrolled in the Michigan's AmeriCorps program and enrolled in classes at EMU come from traditionally non-represented demographic groups (i.e. moderate to low income levels) and need to earn money over the summer in order to pay tuition costs and living expenses incurred over the academic year. For students to remain enrolled in classes and serve in an AmeriCorps program, they must enroll as part-time members. EMU administrators claim that these circumstances (multi-year part-time enrollment combined with income needy students) create massive barriers to the retention of members. Members cannot complete their hours because they need to work and earn funds during the summer. Additionally, EMU notes that students would have to pay their own room and board over the summer if they are not enrolled in classes due to the requirements of work study funding, adding to the resistance of students to remain over the summer months to complete their term requirements. Overall, members weight the consequences of losing their $4,700 educational award against the income they could earn during full-time intensive work over the summer. �The MCSC staff have offered to work with the EMU administration to seek outside financial support for members of the CLASS program. EMU was asked to provide the MCSC staff with a detailed budget outlining the costs associated with housing members over the summer and providing enough financial incentive to retain members in the program. The MCSC staff still awaits EMU's response to this offer of support. The MCSC staff request the Executive Committee's advice and counsel as to whether it should craft a formal recommendation to the full commission or continue to strictly adhere to the aforementioned policy. The staff offer the following menu of options for your consideration: a. a one-time waiver to the multi-year, part-time member policy for the CLASS: Michigan's AmeriCorps program sponsored by EMU; or b. a re-examination of the policy; or c. a firm reiteration of the multi-year, part-time member policy. �Member Benefits Living allowance Full-time Members • Generally, all full-time corpsmembers must receive a living allowance between $8,730 and $16,680. • The living allowance is considered taxable for FICA and income tax. • The amount of the living allowance that may be paid using CNS and other federal funds may not exceed 85% of the minimum living allowance, or $7,420. • Programs that want to provide a higher living allowance, in excess of $8,730, must provide a grantee match for all funds over $7,420. • Programs that want to pay a higher living allowance must demonstrate compelling circumstances for doing so, such as cost of living. Higher living allowances must be approved by MCSC and CNS. One Year Part-time Members • Part-time members completing 900 hours of service in one year could receive up to $4,622 for the year with the maximum CNS match being $3,929 ($4,622 x 85%). The $4,622 was calculated by multiplying $8,730 by (900 service hours/1700 service hours). Two Year Part-time Members •· MCSC policy states that part-time members serving 900 hours over a two year period may receive an education award but are not eligible to receive a living allowance. Summer Only Members • Summer Only members completing a minimum of 300 hours of service are eligible to receive a living allowance of up to $1,541. The CNS share must not exceed $1,310 ($1,541 x 85%). The $1,541 was calculated by multiplying $8,340 by (300 service hours/1700 service hours). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director /);(_ RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: November 12, 1998 This month's Executive Director's Report will have a "good news/bad news" theme. First, the good news. Michigan retains two of its greatest cheerleaders for service and volunteerism in the recently re-elected Governor John Engler and First Lady Michelle Engler. Our state can look forward to maintaining its leader status in empowering individuals to serve each other through an ethic of service. Now the bad news (for Michigan anyway). On January 1, 1999 Ms. Paula Kaiser, Director of Programs for the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), will be leaving us to work for the Association of State Service Commissions (ASSC) headed by its newly appointed executive director, Mr. Frank Dirks. Ms. Kaiser will be working on member services for ASSC and will be moving back to her home state of Indiana. We will miss her energy and wisdom, but we should all be encouraged that Michigan will be well represented as another of its own goes to work for a national organization that serves the field of volunteerism. Consequently, I will be playing a more direct role in the programming area as we search for a replacement for the Director of Programming. The MCSC will be conducting a national search over the next several months to fill this positi9n. The remainder of this report highlights the progress of the MCSC, by department, over the past 30 days. Outreach and Fund Development • The Board Development Committee will be meeting on November 16, 1998 at the MCSC offices. A reminder, all recommendations for MCSC membership should be addressed to the Board Development Committee c/o MCSC and should include a letter of interest and a resume (if possible). The Executive Committee will meet that same day, prior to the Board Development Committee. �• In an effort to promote volunteerism across the state, the MCSC recently sent a mailing that included information on the ConnectMichigan Campaign and Adopt A Part of Michigan Campaign. The mailing included the ConnectMichigan and Adopt A Part of Michigan posters and was sent to Michigan's 6,000 schools as well as volunteer centers, colleges and Michigan's national service programs. • The MCSC's 1997 Annual Report is finished and was distributed to the friends and members of the MCSC. This report features the fine accomplishments of Michigan's citizens. It also is a fine tribute to the work of the Interim Executive Director, Terry Pruitt, the MCSC staff, commissioners, and supporters. I hope that you will take a few moments to read the various stories and commentaries included in the report. • Make A Difference Day in Michigan was an overwhelming success! More than 73,890 volunteers participated in 516 projects on October 24, 1998. Mrs. Engler participated in the "Make A Difference For Learning Disabilities 5K Walk/Run" project at Potter Park Zoo in Lansing. Mrs. Engler was joined by two of her three daughters, Hannah and Maggie. • The latest ConnectMichigan newsletter was distributed this week. This issue marks the beginning of the newsletter's new format and focuses less on MCSC news and more on stories that are relevant to the larger field of service and volunteerism. The ConnectMichigan newsletter is a Michigan publication, created by and for the state's volunteer and national service network. • See the attached update on the overall status of the ConnectMichigan Campaign. Finance and Administration • The MCSC staff will submit the MCSC' s Administrative Funds application to the Corporation for National Service by November 17. This application will also include the Program Development And Training (PDAT) funds request. Although the Corporation for National Service has yet to announce the amount of funds available for states, we have been advised to seek funding not to exceed the previous year's allocation. Programming • On October 24, 1998 MCSC staff attended a meeting of selected state service commissions, hosted in Fort Worth, Texas, by the Association of State Service Commissions and America's Promise, to help develop an America's Promise best implementation practices guide. The guide is due to be published sometime this winter or spring. • The MCSC conducted a number of trainings including a fundraising seminar for current VIG grantees, a web-based reporting system for Michigan's AmeriCorps programs, and a service-based curriculum development session for Learn & SERVE Community-Based grantees. • The MCSC programming staff are currently conducting the VIG review process. A total of 24 applications were received requesting nearly $1 million in state support. • The MCSC distributed the Request For Proposal (RFP) for Michigan's Promise Fellows. A copy was sent to all commissioners and friends of the MCSC. Michigan is eligible for 13 Promise Fellows. The deadline for submission is November 20, 1998. �• In cooperation with the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) the MCSC will establish a Communities of Promise Coordinator position. This position will coordinate the activities of Michigan's Promise including (eventually) heading up the Michigan's Promise Fellows program, the coordination of the 15 Communities of Promise, brokering of state level commitments, and working on the development of tracking mechanisms for local communities. The position is expected to be filled by December 31, 1998. Our next MCSC meeting is scheduled for December 11, 1998 in Lansing in the Michigan Room, George W. Romney Building, 111 S. Capitol Avenue, First Floor. Thank you. �*Michigan is proud to announce a new three-year campaign to promote volunteerism- ConnectMichigan. The campaign encourages individuals of all ages to get active in local volunteer activities. The campaign is designed to promote and support existing volunteer programs and initiatives, not to create new programs or duplicate existing services. It is sponsored by the Volunteer Centers of Michigan in association with the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. The campaign includes: *a toll-free volunteerism hotline 1-800-VOLUNTEER. By dialing this phone number individuals interested in participating in volunteer activity are connected with their local volunteer center. Those without a local volunteer center are connected to Volunteer Centers of Michigan. *television and radio public service announcements which will begin running later this year. *written support materials (brochure, posters, a volunteer resource guide) that are available now. *outdoor advertising. There are currently more than 60 ConnectMichigan billboards up across Michigan. Not only do the billboards promote the campaign they also encourage local participation in Make A Difference Day! For more information on the ConnectMichigan campaign contact Robin Lynn Schultheiss of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan at (517) 353-5038. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The campaign encourages individuals of all ages to get active in local volunteer activities. The campaign is designed to promote and support existing volunteer programs and initiatives, not to create new programs or duplicate existing services. It is sponsored by the Volunteer Centers of Michigan in association with the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. The campaign includes: *a toll-free volunteerism hotline 1-800-VOLUNTEER. By dialing this phone number individuals interested in participating in volunteer activity are connected with their local volunteer center. Those without a local volunteer center are connected to Volunteer Centers of Michigan. *television and radio public service announcements which will begin running later this year. *written support materials (brochure, posters, a volunteer resource guide) that are available now. *outdoor advertising. There are currently more than 60 ConnectMichigan billboards up across Michigan. Not only do the billboards promote the campaign they also encourage local participation in Make A Difference Day! For more information on the ConnectMichigan campaign contact Robin Lynn Schultheiss of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan at (517) 353-5038. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
