recognition
10:00- 10:15 -Staff expectations from retreat
10: 15 - 11:00- Celebrating Organizational Accomplishments
(Thought: Be clear about what we're celebrating. To celebrate success, we must define what
success is-for the organization, teams, or individuals.)

(Some notes for intro:
Celebrations connect deeply to our individual psyches and organizational culture, affirming and
developing identity, quality, value, and meaning. Each factor is an essential element of a
successful organization. In celebrating accomplishment, organizations are taking care to nourish
individuals and groups by:
•
•

•
•

Affirming identity, giving essential recognition affirming a sense of self and group;
Giving meaning to our work, bracketing significant experience and naming it as an
accomplishment to bring out meaning that might be lost or under-appreciated in the
flow of events;
Benchmarking quality, telling the entire organization that "this" is what we mean by
"good" or "excellent," "this" is how we judge quality in this organization; and
Assigning value to our accomplishments, saying that these accomplishments are
worthy, we value them, they are to be emulated.

Celebrating accomplishments provides support for staff undergoing change. Change is no
longer the exception but the norm for contemporary organizations. But remember that change
involves not just those obvious breaks from the past like starting a new initiative, appointing
a new executive director, or adopting a new curriculum. Contemporary organizations exist in
a sea of subtle or simple interactions, where, like organisms, staff interact in perpetual
evolution, change is the norm. We are constantly interacting with co-workers to interpret and
give meaning to ambiguous events. )
Let's look at our accomplishments: (Slide show?)

MCSC GOAL: Creating an "epidemic ofvolunteerism" in
Michigan.
Below is an overview of the three major Commission goals for 05-06 that were identified
at the MCSC Retreat. Each goal will have a sub-committee that will work on that goal
for the upcoming year. We have scheduled conference calls for ~ach of the committees
for next week. The conference calls are open to all Commissioners and MCSC staff. If
you were not at the MCSC retreat, please join a committee and meet us on the conference
call.
At the next MCSC Board Meeting (Wednesday, November 9), we will also set aside time
for the committees to have discussions.

1. Mentor Michigan. Use mentoring and service to create forward movement toward

the Cherry Commission goals and Department of Human Services Anti-Poverty Agenda.
We will challenge local communities to identify kids at risk of failing and/or dropping
out of school. We will link those students with corporations, service clubs and media
outlets to move the needle in 2006 toward personal success for kids .

2. Cool Companies/Cool Cities. We will broaden the definition of cool places to live
and work to include a service component. We will organize CEO-to-CEO outreach to
explain the value of volunteerism to companies to assist their organization's volunteer
efforts. We will invite these corporations to adopt a school, or kids, who are in need of
mentors to link them to successful futures.

Objective: In order to meet our Commission Goals (Mentor Michigan, Cool Cities and Great
Media), we need to develop customized structured marketing tools to engage any segment of the
community we decide to interface with. The development of these tools would afford us a
marketing model throughout the state that all volunteers, commissioners and others could easily
identify with and articulate. It is a model that is successfully utilized by the U.S. Census Bureau
and a model that was successfully used with Detroit's Promise.
I.

The tools would take form of customized volunteerism fact sheets/commitment forms
that encourage, identify and offer suggested forms of volunteerism for specific sectors.
a.
Recommended Sector Fact Sheets/Commitment Form could be for the
business community, faith-based entities, sports teams, education institutions,
specialty groups, sports teams, community groups, individuals, the media etc.

II.

Each sheet would be customized to speak to how volunteerism creates and nurtures
stronger communities in that specific sector.

Ill.

The second part of the sheet could be used to allow entity to explain how they are already
involved, ask them to step up more, solicit involvement if it does not exist, provide
examples of how and provide a entity contact who will have the time to interface with
commission staff or volunteers for ongoing dialogue.

IV.

Benefits of structured marketing tools: Any commissioner, staff or volunteer can pitch
volunteerism in a coordinated fashion anywhere in the state. The structure lends itself to
measurables because you would have a commitment form completed by the entity and
follow-up can easily be ensued. The commitments garnered from the entities can be
utilized for peer leveraging as an incentive for an annual report-out (perhaps during the
GSA).

Great Media Strategy
Objective: To gain more media partners to help tell our wonderful stories, create more
volunteerism awareness, create more volunteers and help make volunteerism a mainstay in all of

�our commumtles. Utilizing the above marketing tool strategy. I propose the development of
customized fact sheet/commitment forms for media partners. The sheet
could begin with a message about the need to create more awareness about various forms of
community volunteerism aimed at making and nurturing stronger communities.
I.

The tool would also allow the media partner to describe any volunteerism currently
undertaken by their agency and it would allow the commission to request additional asks
specific to our needs (i.e., Regular run ofpsa's, interviews on public affairs programming,
interviews with key announcers during major drive time hours, the recoding of public
service announcements around certain commission activities or events, the request for a
station promotion around a commission activity of event, editorials supporting a
commission event or activity, etc.).

II.

Comcast creation of public service announcements (Perhaps 3-4 that could be customized
for state regions) encouraging volunteerism throughout the state. I propose a doughnut
announcement. The beginning of the announcement would feature the governor and first
gentleman talking about the importance ofvolunteerism and its effect on our community;
their intro would be followed by a series of short cut-ways to 3-4 community residents
acknowledging their form of community volunteerism ( ex. bus driver leaning out his
bus window saying he is a mentor, a senior citizen saying they volunteer at the local
elementary school as a guest reader, a sports team player saying he or she is a brig
brother/big sister, etc.) the cut-away vignettes would be followed by the governor and
first gentleman providing information on how to connect to volunteering in one's
community.

Food for Thought

*

The U.S Census Bureau has local libraries where volunteers could be taught how to pull
census data on children in poverty throughout the state. The bureau, I'm told does a
yearly poverty report and they would be willing to train our volunteers to retrieve this
data and how to use it. This data could be crucial, if a community has not done a recent
"Needs Assessment". The U.S. figures are the benchmarks anyway. The information can
also be retrieved on-line once individuals are taught how to do so.

•

If kids in poverty are our nucleus for mentoring, we have to be careful in communities
were poverty is low and volunteerism is high. I would want to have some dialogue
around this issue, I think one of our ultimate goals is to nurture and create volunteerism.

•

Bob Kahle could be consulted on the fact sheet/commitment forms; there may be some
measurables that we need that he can identify.

•

Perhaps the first fact sheet/commitment form template examples should be for the
business community, media and specialty organizations who can solicit mentors since
these are the identified areas of outreach for the commission. If you agree, we can come
up with some examples for the next board meeting.

Janet ...
It was good to be a part of the recent conference call. As I reflect on some of the choices that we have for
connecting with our "cool CEO's" to promote "mentoring" I do believe that we are missing a key element. .. i.e.
the Michigan community colleges. There are 28 of these valuable institutions that typically are the most
respected, local resource for business development in their respective communities. Each of these institutions
will have a quite extensive network of advisory bodies directly linked to their business communities. Actually,
since most of the training which the business community receives originates with these institutions, the colleges
will have better connections with them than virtually any other entity ... including the ISD's. Second, my
impression from our visit was that we are concentrating most of our attention for promoting mentoring in the
southeast Michigan arena ... i.e. Compuware, Lear, GM, etc. Certainly, there are some substantial #'s within
these ranks, but I would suggest to you that if the concept is to be successful, we must also look aggressively
outstate. Again, I do not believe that we can find any substantial area of population outside of southeast
Michigan that does not have a well respected, community college.
Anyway, just a couple of thoughts. Please advise if you wish any assistance with contact with these institutions
and if you wish me to attend the Nov. 9 meeting? I do not wish to be seen as a "hanger on", but if there is
anything that you wish me to assist with in promoting the concept. .. ! will be pleased to help.
Best wishes ...
Don

                    <text>Great Media Conference Call Notes
October 27, 2005

Marketing Strategy:

Objective: In order to meet our Commission Goals (Mentor Michigan, Cool Cities and
Great Media), we need to develop customized structured marketing tools to engage any
segment of the community we decide to interface with. The development of these tools
would afford us a marketing model throughout the state that all volunteers,
commissioners and others could easily identify with and articulate. It is a model that is
successfully utilized by the U.S. Census Bureau and a model that was successfully used
with Detroit's Promise.
I.

The tools would take form of customized volunteerism fact sheets/commitment
forms that encourage, identify and offer suggested forms ofvolunteerism for
specific sectors.
a.
Recommended Sector Fact Sheets/Commitment Form could be for the
business community, faith-based entities, sports teams, education
institutions, specialty groups, sports teams, community groups,
individuals, the media etc.

II.

Each sheet would be customized to speak to how volunteerism creates and
nurtures stronger communities in that specific sector.

III.

The second part of the sheet could be used to allow entity to explain how they are
already involved, ask them to step up more, solicit involvement if it does not
exist, provide examples of how and provide a entity contact who will have the
time to interface with commission staff or volunteers for ongoing dialogue.

IV.

Benefits of structured marketing tools: Any commissioner, staff or volunteer can
pitch volunteerism in a coordinated fashion anywhere in the state. The structure
lends itself to measurables because you would have a commitment form
completed by the entity and follow-up can easily be ensued. The commitments
garnered from the entities can be utilized for peer leveraging as an incentive for
an annual report-out (perhaps during the GSA).

Great Media Strategy
Objective: To gain more media partners to help tell our wonderful stories, create more
volunteerism awareness, create more volunteers and help make volunteerism a mainstay
in all of our communities. Utilizing the above marketing tool strategy. I propose the
development of customized fact sheet/commitment forms for media partners. The sheet
could begin with a message about the need to create more awareness about various forms
of community volunteerism aimed at making and nurturing stronger communities.

�I.

The tool would also allow the media partner to describe any volunteerism
currently undertaken by their agency and it would allow the commission to
request additional asks specific to our needs (i.e., Regular run of psa's, interviews
on public affairs programming, interviews with key announcers during major
drive time hours, the recoding of public service announcements around certain
commission activities or events, the request for a station promotion around a
commission activity of event, editorials supporting a commission event or
activity, etc.).

II.

Comcast creation of public service announcements (Perhaps 3-4 that could be
customized for state regions) encouraging volunteerism throughout the state. I
propose a doughnut announcement. The beginning of the announcement would
feature the governor and first gentleman talking about the importance of
volunteerism and its effect on our community; their intro would be followed by a
series of short cut-ways to 3-4 community residents acknowledging their form of
community volunteerism ( ex. bus driver leaning out his bus window saying he is
a mentor, a senior citizen saying they volunteer at the local elementary school as
a guest reader, a sports team player saying he or she is a brig brother/big sister,
etc.) the cut-away vignettes would be followed by the governor and first
gentleman providing information on how to connect to volunteering in one's
community.

Food for Thought
The U.S Census Bureau has local libraries where volunteers could be taught how
to pull census data on children in poverty throughout the state. The bureau, I'm
told does a yearly poverty report and they would be willing to train our volunteers
to retrieve this data and how to use it. This data could be crucial, if a community
has not done a recent "Needs Assessment". The U.S. figures are the benchmarks
anyway. The information can also be retrieved on-line once individuals are
taught how to do so.

*

•

If kids in poverty are our nucleus for mentoring, we have to be careful in
communities were poverty is low and volunteerism is high. I would want to have
some dialogue around this issue, I think one of our ultimate goals is to nurture and
create volunteerism.

•

Bob Khale could be consulted on the fact sheet/commitment forms; there may be
some measurables that we need that he can identify.

•

Perhaps the first fact sheet/commitment form template examples should be for the
business community, media and specialty organizations who can solicit mentors
since these are the identified areas of outreach for the commission. If you agree,
we can come up with some examples for the next board meeting.

Post-Retreat Update

Greetings to all: At the end of this e-mail message you will find a conference call schedule for all
Commissioners and staff who are eager to start working on the goals that came out of our retreat. As a
summary for those Commissioners who were not at the retreat, I will review the work of the retreat.
This e-mail message is an invitation to all to help create an "epidemic of volunteerism" in Michigan . We
want to create a state where every child has a mentor, every senior makes a commitment to serve
somewhere in their community, every corporation is civically engaged and every community has a
volunteer center or a place to go for volunteer referral.
Mentor Michigan has created some "best practices" for creating such an epidemic . Through Mentor
Michigan we have:
Created benchmarksDeveloped partners and championsDeveloped a brandCreated quality program
standards with input from the field Developed a diversified funding plan Made reasonable promises
regarding quality and quantityThanks to Russ Mawby who set the tone at the retreat with his explanation
of the importance of service and volunteerism in a democratic society.
Our conversations helped us identify three major Commission goals for 05-06. Those goals are :
Mentor Michigan. Use mentoring and service to create forward movement toward the Cherry Commission
goals and Department of Human Services Anti-Poverty Agenda . We will challenge local communities to
identify kids at risk of failing and/or dropping out of school. We will link those students with corporations,
service clubs and media outlets to move the needle in 2006 toward personal success for kids .
Currently these MCSC Commissioners and friends have pledged time to support this committee:
Jerry Seese
Mike Thomas
Kyle Caldwell
Don Newport
Dan Mulhern

This group will connect the dots to ...
2. Cool Companies/Cool Cities . We will broaden the definition of cool places to live and work to include a
service component. We will organize CEO-to-CEO outreach to explain the value of volunteerism to
companies to assist their organization's volunteer efforts . We will invite these corporations to adopt a
school, or kids , who are in need of mentors to link them to successful futures .
Currently these MCSC Commissioners and friends have pledged time to support this committee :
Larry Williamson
Donna Niester
Russ Mawby
Jimmie Comer
Ken Whipple (in abstentia- Ken, your fellow Commissioners thought this would be a perfect committee for
you)
This group will connect the dots to ...
3. Great media . We will tell the story of Michigan's national leadership position and prototype the
Michigan volunteer infrastructure. We will let others know what's great and strong about volunteerism in
Michigan. We will tell the positive Michigan story of this coordinated initiative using community and
corporate volunteerism to solve large Michigan problems . We will demonstrate the cooperative model
between MCSC , CMA, VCM , MNA, MCC and Michigan's Promise .

Currently these MCSC Commissioners and friends have pledged time to support this committee:
Kathy Young-Welch
Rob Collier
Shaun VanHorn
AI Swain
Larry Williamson
Mike Thomas
Additionally, Kathy-Young Welch wants to design a set of deliverables that would be available for all
"pitches" to anyone who wants to help. A separate package for religious communities, corporations,
government or municipalities and service organizations.
To begin our committee work I have scheduled three conference calls for October. I have also planned
some committee work time for the November 9 MCSC meeting. The conference calls are open to all
Commissioners and MCSC staff. If you were not at the MCSC retreat, please join a committee and meet
us on the conference call. Janice Harvey will send out conference call reminders, phone numbers and pin
numbers.
Monday October 24 - 3:00 p.m. - Mentor Michigan Committee
Tuesday October 25-9:00 a.m.- Cool Companies/Cool Cities Committee
Thursday October 27- 9:00a.m.- Great Media Committee
Looking forward to talking to you then.

MCSC Organization Values

Commitment and awareness of DIVERSITY in all areas of MCSC.

Comments from Commissioners:
• Other diversities we should be addressing (faith-based, disability, seniors, etc.)
• Strategic plan for contacting key organizations (colleges, foundations, etc)
o Identify gap
o Strategic plan to deal
• Use legislators as key contacts - (JH to create email list)
• Should be moved up to on-going goal
• What's our baseline, where are we now (due to Janet by Nov. 22)
• Look at ethnicity of staff
• Some diversity training for Commissioners and staff (JL-Dec. Meeting)
• Increasing applicant pool
• Outreach better
• Needs assessment of who we need to further develop the board
- Need a media/PR person
- Anchor person
- Publisher from newspaper
• Re-establish Board Development Committee
• Proactive Board outreach

Establish Commissioners as KEY CHAMPIONS AND SPOKESPERSONS for
the MCSC through:
• A Commissioner investment process that asks each Commissioner to align with
one of these three goals.
• Inviting each Commissioner to join Mentor Michigan in 2005 by becoming a
mentor. The MCSC will provide match assistance and follow-up support.
• Aligning Commission meetings with key MCSC events to obtain more
Commissioner participation in 2005-2006.
i. February meeting at time of AmeriCorps Grant Approval Process
ii. May/June meeting at the time of the Governor's Service Awards
iii. Late August meeting/retreat at time of Learn and Serve Grant approval
process
iv. Late November meeting at time of AmeriCorps Swearing-in Ceremony

Mentoring - develop mentoring funding partnership
Membership component
Corporations pay $1000 for membership
Partner with State of Michigan for mentoring
Bring Ford, Chrysler and other corporations on board for fund development
What amount of money is coming from ConnectMichigan Alliance
Make sure we're not targeting same/similar targets
Need professional fundraiser
Thinking decentralized
It's hard for Corporations to give beyond their own communities
Partner with foundations around local sources
Fundraising- Board member host reception in their home
Work with local community organizations (Kiwanis, Lions Club, etc) to establish
funding priorities
Look at contributions and who we're targeting
Inform Commissioners of funding practices
GSA &amp; Mentor Michigan - once a year do fundraising
As fund base shrinks - be more creative
Innovative ways to have partners
Too many messages to "Asks" - need clear message
GSA - Marketing piece
Get message to corporations
Increase awareness of awards for corporate competition
GSA - Fundraising event
Silent Auction
$10,000 table I $1,000 person
GSA- Significant individuals to serve as honorary chairs around State of
Michigan
GSA - Academy Awards type event

�2004-2005 Michigan Community Service Commission Goals
3rd Priority

Expansion of STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS to further develop the mission
of the MCSC through:

funding, and evaluation.
• Development of champions for mentoring, service-learning and homeland
security.
•
Develop new partnership with ConnectMichigan Alliance to create an AmeriCorps
program to place members in local and regional mentorship programs.

Comments from Commissioners:
• AARP, retired teachers- champions of MCSC programs
• Work with other state agencies
• Indentify significant mentor activities from key leaders and build on them
Competition between Corporations
• Break out by legislative district all things commission does.
• Develop high profile mentors- others will follow
• Get quotes from significant mentors and use them
• Expand partnerships with CMA and other organizations
• Develop sustainability of Mentor Michigan
• Training - so many corporations focus on training - use their expertise to help
our grantees
• We have expertise among grantees - invite corporations to sit in on our training
so they have interest and knowledge (form specific partnerships with them)

1 Q 1998

Michigan Nonprofit Association
July 7, 1998
Mr. Kyle Caldwell
Executive Director
Michigan Community Service Commission
George W . Romney Building, 4th floor
111 South Capital Avenue
Lansing, MI 48913
Dear Kyle:
It was a pleasure to see you and your staff take an active role in the Points of
Light Foundation's (POLF) annual national service conference. Michigan was
well represented both from the corporate community and the nonprofit sector.

1 .

While we didn't have time for this year's conference, I believe it would be
valuable for the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and the
Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) to jointly host a hospitality room for the
Michigan delegates at next year's POLF conference. This would provide the
conference attendees from Michigan the opportunity to network with one another
as well as to learn more about our two organizations. Please let me know if this is
an idea you would like to pursue and we can start making arrangements in the fall
with the conference staff at the Foundation.
On another note, prior to your appointment, the First Lady and I discussed the
potential of appointing a Volunteer Center director to the MCSC. Enclosed is a
resume for Christine MacNaughton, the director of the Lenawee United Way and
Volunteer Center. As you can tell from Christine's resume, she has a depth of
experience in national service programs and volunteer center activities . She
would be an excellent volunteer center representative and would serve the MCSC
well.
If there are other names and resumes you would like to review, please let me
know.
Sincerely,

Enclosure
