Robert Kolt Koft Communications Michael Lavoie Butzel Long Law Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Fred Mester The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Carolyn Bloodworth, Rob Collier, and Donna Niester. Guests included Diana Algra and Rachel Bruns. Staff present: Paula Kaiser VanDam, Janice Harvey, and Garry Gross. Fred M. Mester P.C. Law Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures David Price MARO Employment & Training Association Larry Romanelli Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Jerry Swartz Lansing Schools Education Association John Truscott Truscott Rossman Ella Kate Wagner Youth Commissioner Judy Watson-Olson Great Lakes Center for Youth Development Larry Williamson Comcast Cable E. Miles Wilson Johnson Center for Philanthropy State Service Plan Ms. VanDam shared a draft outline ofthe Michigan State Service Plan. The MCSC has contracted with Rachel Bruns (Volunteer Wisconsin) to facilitate the development of the Michigan State Service Plan. We are also working with our partners (Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, The LEAGUE of Michigan, and Volunteer Centers of Michigan) to have a comprehensive plan. The plan outlines priorities for the MCSC and the implementation of those priority areas with partner organizations. Key focus areas include economic opportunity, education, veterans and military families, disaster preparedness, and serving underserved areas of the state. There will be four strategic priority areas. We will take into account MCSC capacity due to staffing/funding and will also designate whether the MCSC or partners will be responsible for action and measurements for each of the areas. We hope to have �• the plan finalized by late May/early June then are required by the Serve America Act to obtain the Governor's approval on the plan. Statewide Volunteer Campaign Through funding from the Volunteer Generation Fund and the CMA Endowment, the MCSC is partnering with Volunteer Centers of Michigan and other MNA affiliates to launch a statewide volunteer campaign that will also include the launch ofthe statewide portal. A public relations firm has been selected to assist with the campaign, Red Head Design. Commissioner Bob Kolt is also serving as an advisor to the campaign. MCSC Executive Director Search The Executive Director position was posted and the MCSC received 94 applications. The applications were reviewed and seven candidates will be interviewed. Commissioners Carolyn Bloodworth, Diana Algra and Miles Wilson will serve on the selection panel. CNCS Update Ms. VanDam gave an update on the FY13 budget. The Continuing Resolution (CR) ends March 27 and it is expected that the CR will carry through the full year. State Commissions took a cut to admin from $13 million to $12.6 million and the PDAT and Disability funding has been cut 50% since FY11. The MCSC is in a unique position as the Executive Director and Executive Secretary positions have been vacant which has freed up a significant amount of federal admin funding . The MCSC will not have a funding issue for FY13 but will need to work on FY14 to fix the Commission line item for admin. Sequestration will not immediately affect currently funded MCSC programs as they are funded with FY12 dollars so there will not be any mid-year adjustments. The MCSC may have to make adjustments in the fall to program funding once we receive our formula funding allocation in May/June. The MCSC has typically received $500,000 to $1 million in supplemental AmeriCorps funding but that funding may not be available this year. The Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) is currently in the third year of a 3-year grant. The President has zeroed out VGF funding in his FY13 budget so we are unsure if this program will be funded again. Michigan's VGF funding ends this fall. AmeriCorps - School Turnaround - Ms. VanDam shared information on a new CNCS funding opportunity. The CNCS is working with federal agencies to support AmeriCorps and will be working with the U.S . Department of Education to use AmeriCorps as a strategy for school turnaround. They will be granting out $5 million through AmeriCorps to School Improvement Grantees (SIG) or priority schools with an embedded turnaround strategy (minimum of20 members). The MCSC has promoted the opportunity and will be accepting proposals. There may be more opportunities for specialized funding in the future with little notice and/or little turn-around time. The MCSC will draft a policy for the board to enact to deviate from traditional grant making process for opportunities around key strategic areas . The Governor met with CNCS CEO Wendy Spencer in February at the National Governor' s Association meeting. The Governor is interested in national service and feels that it could play a role in addressing some of the challenges in Detroit. He also invited Wendy to Michigan. �• The CNCS is working with Mayors to create the Mayor' s Day of Recognition (April 9th) of national service. The Cities of Service Mayors in Michigan have signed on to support the initiative. The CNCS State Office will take the lead on the initiative with support from the MCSC. Governor 's Service Awards We have received 144 Governor' s Service Awards nominations. The peer review will take place on April 11 and then the GSA Committee will approve the finalists/winners prior to sending them to the Governor' s Office for approval. A chair (hopefully from the Grand Rapids area) needs to be identified for the GSA Committee. MCSC Board Retreat The MCSC Board Retreat will take place on August 28-29 in South Haven. Chair Bloodworth will ask Commissioners to serve on the planning committee. Giving & Volunteering Celebration I MCSC Board Meeting - April 24 The Giving & Volunteering Celebration will take place on April 24 at the Capitol. Commissioners are encouraged to attend the event which will take place prior to the board meeting. Commissioners discussed the April board meeting agenda and approved a new consent agenda.

Grants ranged in value from $200 to $500. In addition to the mini-grants, organizations have be encouraged to register their local projects online with the MCSC and their partners. Projects are then posted to the All for Good national volunteer opportunity database in an effort to raise awareness about National Days of Service and engage more individuals in volunteerism . Organizations that register their project will be solicited to provide feedback about their project like the number of individuals engaged in service, number of service recipients, and impact area following MLK Day.

Lori Jewell State Farm Insurance Megan Johnson Charles Stewart Molt Foundation Robert Kolt Kolt Communications Michael Lavoie Butzel Long Law Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company The Corporation for National and Community Service at the federal level has a pool of funds reserved for state and national grants, referred to as "competitive." CNCS also provides an earmarked pool of funds to each state, referred to as "formula," which is distributed to state commissions based on population. The MCSC conducts one application process annually to solicit grants for competitive and formula funding. Fred Mester Fred M Mester P. C. Law Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures David Price MARO Employment & Training Association Larry Romanelli LJttle River Band of Ottawa Indians The MCSC conducted an extensive outreach process with three in-person sessions in Flint, Kalamazoo, and Lansing, as well as two virtual sessions open to anyone in Michigan. The MCSC received 27 applications as a result of this process, some from existing grantees (called "recompeting" applicants) and some from organizations who have not received funding from the MCSC (called "new" applicants). Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Jerry Swartz Lansing Schools Education Association John Truscott Truscott Rossman Ella Kate Wagner Youth Commissioner Judy Watson-Olson Great Lakes Center for Youth Development Larry Williamson Those 27 applications have gone through a comprehensive, two-part review process, which took place in November, 2012. Part one is the "peer review" process. The MCSC recruited and trained a group of individuals who possess expertise, knowledge, and experience in the strategic focus areas of the CNCS and MCSC and/or National Service programs. Peer reviewers read and scored applications as individuals and were then convened for in-person, small group discussion, which was facilitated by MCSC staff. Peer review Comcast Cable E. Miles Wilson Johnson Center for Philanthropy 1 �groups then provided feedback on all applications and made recommendations to MCSC staff. Part two is the "staff review" process, in which all MCSC staff review and score applications that were moved forward from step one. As individuals, MCSC staff read and score applications, and are then convened into small groups for discussion and to determine which applicants will be invited to move on to the next stage of the process. Applicants receive feedback, make edits to their applications, and re-submit their applications. Fourteen (14) applications are being recommended for new "competitive" funding as a result of this extensive review process. The staff used to the following criteria to determine which applications should be included in our competitive application: 1) overall quality of the application, 2) alignment with the CNCS funding priorities and tiers, and 3) size of the request. Following board approval, these applications will be submitted to CNCS to compete with other state and national grants from around the country. Three (3) applications are being recommended to be considered for "formula" funding, along with any of the 14 applications that are not successful in the national competition. Ten (10) applications are not being recommended for funding based on the quality ofthe application, lack of alignment with funding priorities, and/or duplication of another program. In addition to the 27 "new" and "recompete" applications, the MCSC also received 7 "continuation" applications. "Continuation" applications are submitted by existing grantees that are in year one or two of their three-year grant from the MCSC and are seeking funding renewal for another year. Three (3) of those grantees are funded through competitive funding, and four (4) are funded through formula funding. AmeriCorps Competitive Application Package Background The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) AmeriCorps competitive package is due to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) on February 6, 2013 and includes 13 new/recompete applications and 3 continuation applications.

Building on the work of the champions of effective volunteer engagement, Reimagining Service is a national coalition of multisector representatives from nonprofit organizations, government, education, faith-based, funders and corporations. We seek to increase the impact of volunteers through : PRACTICE: Inspiring organizations to leverage volunteers more fully and strategically, and engage volunteers as part of their core operations. RESEARCH: Supporting and disseminating research aimed at highlighting effective volunteer engagement practices and policies and their impact on the core mission of the organization . FUNDING: Engaging funders in recognizing that volunteerism and civic engagement are cost effective strategies that help community organizations accomplish their missions, and therefore merit their financial support. REIMAGINING SERVICE PRINCIPLES The Reimagining Service coalition has established four principles to guide its work: PRINCIPLE 1: The volunteer ecosystem is more effective when all sectors participate in its evolution. Volunteerism doesn't exist in a single sector and the responsibility of successful volunteer engagement resides beyond nonprofits alone. We are interdependent when it comes to this work and together we can increase the impact of volunteerism by working to improve the system across all sectors (i.e., nonprofit, private, faith-based, education, government). PRINCIPLE 2: Make volunteering a core strategic function, not an add-on. Volunteers fundamentally increase our ability to achieve our objectives and advance the social mission of our organizations. Engaging volunteers effectively can help an organization serve more people in the community as well as change the core economics of an organization , which can allow it to scale more quickly in a cost effective way. PRINCIPLE 3: Focus volunteer engagement on true community needs. Rather than responding to the supply of volunteers, identify key priorities in the community then purposefully seek out volunteers with the core skills needed to address those priorities. We should also strive to communicate the value of volunteers to the community by measuring their impact, not just the hours they serve. PRINCIPLE 4: In order to get a return, you have to invest. Organizations that make volunteers central to their work and manage them well are able to generate as much as three to six times the community value from volunteers as the cost to manage them. This is a smart way to maximize impact, but it requires up-front and ongoing financial investment in volunteer engagement in all sectors. And we need funders , who believe that funding volunteer engagement helps organizations achieve their broader social missions, to raise their voices so that the funding community can learn from their stories. Reimagining Service: Investing in Volunteer Capacity �REIMAGINING • SERVICE HELP YOUR GRANTEES DO MORE WITH YOUR INVESTMENT IN THEM. Research conducted by the TCC Group, a program and evaluation firm, shows that nonprofits that strategically leverage volunteers outperform their peers on all measures of organizational capacity and have greater impact. But less than 15 percent of nonprofits nationwide demonstrate these characteristics. Visit Reimaginingservice.org to download the research summary. CONVERTING GOOD INTENTIONS INTO GHEATEH IMPACT HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? To leverage significant volunteer engagement, nonprofit organizations need to invest in recruitment, training, management and recognition -just as they would for qualified paid staff. Additionally, leaders of nonprofit organizations benefit from training on how to build volunteer programs best suited for their missions . But no matter the impact area, for every dollar a nonprofit spends on volunteers, they get a return . Reimagining Service has seen returns of three to six times the amount invested. How can your grantees be among them? Consider investing in their volunteer capacity. Funding volunteerism is not a program investment, but rather a cost-effective strategy to support the causes you already invest in . WHAT CAN FUNDERS DO? "Deploying large numbers of volunteers does n'ot necessarily translate into success for the nonprofit or the community. Rather, success results when an organization mobilizes and manages its volunteer resources for the greatest possible impact on a problem or need ." INFLUENCE THE FUNDING DIALOGUE: It's not about investing in a new cause; it's about supporting the cause you care about. Evern Cooper, Former President of UPS Foundation WHY SHOULD FUNDERS INVEST IN VOLUNTEER CAPACITY? • Volunteer engagement is a critical component in helping nonprofit organizations deliver on their core mission by boosting human capacity cost-effectively. • Funding volunteer capacity leverages your existing investments in the community-across all impact areas-and aligns with every type of grantmaking strategy. • Research shows nonprofits are stronger in all measures (leadership, management, sustainability, scaling, adaptability) when they successfully integrate and manage more than 50 volunteers throughout their organizations. SHIFT OUR CONTEXT: Effective engagement of volunteers is about achieving mission and making volunteerism core to a nonprofit's strategy, not about engaging volunteers as an after-thought. FUEL THE MULTIPLIER EFFECT: Well-supported volunteers can create significant value, but we have to invest in effective management to unleash this potential. HOW TO GET STARTED? • Fund a "volunteer management audit" to understand a nonprofit's current practices. • Convene dialogues to better understand your grantees' needs and challenges in effectively engaging volunteers. • Fund volunteer management positions. • Support training for capacity building and to improve volunteer management practices. • Provide funding to evaluate the impact of volunteers' activities, and to activate recommendations for improvement. • Make volunteer involvement, and demonstrated effective volunteer management practices, a condition for larger funding.

The vision of this effort is to build a statewide initiative to help every child in Michigan be a successful reader by the 3rd grade. Overview The Michigan Reading Corps is an opportunity to use service as a strategy to "move the needle" on a specific social condition. Thirty-two percent of Michigan third graders are not reading at grade level. (The number rises to forty-five percent for disadvantaged children.) Across the nation , almost three-quarters (74 percent) of children who read poorly in third grade continue to read poorly in high school, making third grade reading proficiency a key predictor of high school drop-out rates. The Michigan Reading Corps will utilize the Minnesota Reading Corps' proven model, currently being implemented by the Heart of West Michigan United Way. This model involves engaging AmeriCorps members as reading tutors. With support from a Regional Master Literacy Coach and an in-school coach , each member spends 20 minutes every day practicing reading with 20 students. Impact and Efficiency The Reading Corps model is simple, research-based, and effective . In Minnesota: • Reading Corps members take students in danger of not reading at grade level and produce better results (80 percent proficient) than the statewide third grade population (78 percent) . • Children who graduate from the program are three times less likely to be placed in a Special Education program, resulting in nearly $9 million in projected annual savings . As with all Michigan AmeriCorps programs, the public private partnership generates impact and value. Sixty percent of the operating funds for the Michigan Reading Corps will come from the Corporation for National and Community Service. The cost of bringing one child up to 3rd grade reading level is $777 ($443 from the federal government and $334 required by the State). It is estimated that the average cost for a child in special education is three times that of the average pupil. Preventing two children from entering the special education rolls saves nearly enough money to provide match funding for three Michigan Reading Corps members. �Funding Request On November 1, a working group of Commissioners, staff and education experts met to explore the implementation of the Michigan Reading Corps. The strategy meeting generated these recommendations for your consideration : 1. The Heart of West Michigan United Way will serve as lead agency and fiduciary for the first three-year phase of the program , and will submit the application to MCSC. MCSC requested the Heart of West Michigan secure a board commitment to serve as lead agency for a statewide effort. This commitment has been obtained as well as a board resolution . For the first year application, HWMUW will request $1 ,012,500 to fund 75 full time AmeriCorps members in the AmeriCorps Competitive Process. 2. In order to have this program operational by September 2013, outreach and selection of schools and assignment of member slots needs to occur this spring . Unfortunately, the Corporation will not announce competitive funding decisions until June. As a result, the committee would like to recommend that the Commission guarantee $666 ,000 in formula funds for the Michigan Reading Corps in case it is not awarded competitive funds. If it is funded competitively, then the $660 ,000 of formula funds would be used to support other AmeriCorps applications. This approval will allow the program to proceed with some certainty on the selection of sites and the assignment of member slots in a timely manner. (As background information , our 2013-2014 estimated formula allocation is $3,398 ,510. Of this amount, at least $1,555,427 is obligated for the continuation of currently funded programs. Two million dollars are currently unobligated. The $660,000 would come from the $2 million .) 3. The Michigan Reading Corps program will be a signature program of the MCSC. Therefore, the MCSC will be involved in strategic decisions regarding alignment with other state initiatives, geographic areas served, overall growth , and assist with raising the required match dollars. Start-up match requirement estimates are $10,000 per AmeriCorps member. This will require state and private sources. Together, MCSC and United Way will pursue the projected match obligation of $2,250 ,000 for three years (with $500 ,000 to be secured by August 1, 2013) . .

These groups have agreed to help with planning and implementation if called upon . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introductions- Chair Bloodworth welcomed Commissioners at 12:10 pm. MEA President Steve Cook welcomed Commissioners to their offices. Chair Bloodworth explained that beginning with the April MCSC Board Meeting, we will be moving to a consent agenda. II. Review & Approval ofNovember 17, 2012 Minutes- Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 17, 2012 MCSC board meeting. Commissioner Price motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Minutes from January 9, 2013 Meeting. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee minutes from January 9, 2013. Commissioner Lawson motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report- Paula Kaiser VanDam A. MCSC Staff Transition- Ms. VanDam shared with Coiiliil).ssioners that she has permanently been named the Director of the Bureau of Community Service so we will begin the process of hiring a new Executive Director for the MCSC. The posting for the position has been shared through our network in Michigan and also nationally. A few Commissioners will be asked to participate in the selection panel/interview process for the new Executive Director. The MCSC will remain an initiative of the Bureau so Paula won't be so closely involved in the day-to-day operations of the MCSC she will be involved in the strategic way of advancing the work with the Department of Human Services and the Governor' s administration. This should expand the capacity of the MCSC once we hire the new Executive Director. Commissioners recognized Paula for her many years of service to the MCSC. B. Program Updates 1. AmeriCorps- Staff recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps competitive funding were presented to Commissioners. Jeanine Yard and Ben Gulker walked through the application process and the recommendations. The MCSC received 27 applications from existing grantees and new applicants. The applications went through a two-step review process; first a peer review and then a staff review. The CNCS focus areas for funding which include education, health, economic opportunity, environment, veterans and their families, and disaster preparedness. There are two types of AmeriCorps funding- competitive and formula. Fourteen applications are being recommended for competitive funding (new and recompetes ), three applications are being recommended to be considered for formula funding along with any of the 14 applications that are not successful in competitive funding, and 10 applications are not being recommended for funding. In additional to the 27 new and recompete applications, the MCSC also received 7 continuation applications, which are grantees that are in year one or two of their three-year grant and are seeking funding for another year. 2 �-- ------ Ben Gulker presented the AmeriCorps Competitive Application new and recompete staff recommendations. (see January 17, 2013 memo from Paula Kaiser VanDam). Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Competitive funding. Commissioner Algra motioned to approve the staff recommendations; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with the following Commissioners abstaining: David Price (Peckham, Goodwill, MNA), Breannah Alexander (MNA), Diana Algra, (MNA), Tony Campbell (Heart of West Michigan United Way), Rob Collier (Michigan Association of United Way and MNA), Carolyn Bloodworth (MNA). Commissioners requested information on grantee past performance in the staff recommendations for funding. The CNCS will notify the MCSC in May/June with the programs that will be funding competitively. Once we receive that notification, the MCSC will prepare the formula funding recommendations for Commissioner approval. Megan Sargent shared additional AmeriCorps updates. The AmeriCorps LeaderCorps retreat will take place in late January. The LeaderCorps is comprised of one member from each program who serves as a liaison between the program and the MCSC. There are three leadership teams: Outreach and Communications, Alumni and Member Engagement, and Diversity and Inclusion. This year the LeaderCorps will focus on alumni and member experience. They are also champions for AmeriCorps in general and help connect members from their programs to members from other programs. AmeriCorps Week will be March 9-17 and is an opportunity to shine the light on what AmeriCorps members are doing. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will plan awareness and recognition events along with service projects during this week. It is also a good opportunity to education legislators. Commissioners are also invited to attend events that take place during that week in their communities. The 2013 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will be held May16-17 in Lansing. The MCSC brings AmeriCorps members from around the state together for this two-day service project which is a good way showcase the power of AmeriCorps. We will holding the kickoff event on the steps of the Capitol. Commissioner Mike Hill updated Commissioners on Michigan Reading Corps. He thanked Commissioners Tony Campbell and Julie Calley for their leadership . on this initiative. Thirty-two percent of Michigan third graders are not reading at grade level. Third grade reading proficiency is a key indicator of high school drop-out rates. The Heart of West Michigan United Way is a pilot site for the program in Michigan. The MCSC is looking at developing a three-year program. The Heart of West Michigan United Way would serve as the fiscal agency. There would be an RFP process for schools/buildings to apply to participate. We are looking at 75 ·AmeriCorps members in the first year that will be coached on how to tutor young children in literacy. They would work with at-risk children for 20 minutes every day. The MCSC has requested just over $1 million in our 3 �AmeriCorps Competitive application for Michigan Reading Corps (Heart of West Michigan United Way). We would like to launch this during the 2013-14 school year so will need the 75 AmeriCorps members ready to start. The challenge is that the MCSC will not hear back on the competitive funding request until June. That will make the launch in August/September very tight. The Michigan Reading Corps Commissioner Advisory Committee is recommending the Commission designate $666,000 in formula funds for Michigan Reading Corps in case it is not awarded competitive funds. If the program is funded competitively, then the $660,000 of formula funds would be used to support other AmeriCorps formula applications. This approval will allow the program to proceed with the selection of sites and assignment of member slots to be able to begin in September. Commissioner Hill stated that the Advisory Committee will be meeting with Superintendent Mike Flanagan in February to share information on the Michigan Reading Corps along with a meeting with DHS Director Maura Corrigan. We are also discussing ways to raise the required match dollars. Startup match requirement estimates are $10,000 per AmeriCorps member. We know schools are not in the position to pay $10,000 per member. They will make a contribution to the program through in-kind by providing a staff member who will serve as an internal coach to the members in their building and will be working with those members on an on-going basis in coaching them in their tutoring and problem solving skills. The MCSC will be strategic in choosing the geographic areas served, overall growth, and assist with raising the required match dollars. Where we can raise the match dollars may impact where the program will be in the first couple of years because funders may have specific geographic interests. Ms. VanDam stated that in order to demonstrate the value of the MCSC and the power of national service, it is going to be really important for us to think critically about a critical issue that we want to use the resources that we have to make a difference and to be able to demonstrate that. The last couple of years, the small amount of general funds that the MCSC receives (approximately $700,000 has been called into question from the legislature. We are at a critical point that we have to be able to demonstrate the value of the MCSC and particularly what we do around critical issues in our state. Funding a model like the Minnesota Reading Corps, which has been in existence for 10 years and has great data to show the difference they are making, will give us the data to demonstrate the value of national service around a particular issue. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Commissioner recommendation for supporting Michigan Reading Corps with $660,000 in formula funding if it is not funded competitively. Commissioner Smith motioned to approve the recommendation; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Breannah Alexander and Tony Campbell abstaining. 2: Mentor Michigan- Amber Troupe shared updates on Mentor Michigan. The DNR Fisheries Division employees hosted a silent auction with the proceeds donated to Mentor Michigan. The funds will be distributed through mini-grants to mentoring organizations to do fishing-related activities including transportation to fishing events or to purchase fishing poles to have at their office that 4 �mentee/mentor matches can borrow for a match activity. She also shared that the National Mentoring Summit will take place on January 24-25 in Washington DC. The Lt. Governor Brian Calley and Commissioner Julie Calley will join the Michigan delegation, including Paula and Amber, at the Summit. He will speak during a plenary session to highlight the importance of mentoring and the great work we are doing in Michigan. Also, January is National and Michigan Mentoring Month. Mentor Michigan has provided the field with a variety of tools and resources to promote mentoring and recruitment event mini-grants. Nearly $10,000 was awarded to 19 organizations to support mentor recruitment events. 3. Volunteer Michigan- Ms. VanDam shared that Angelia Salas, the MCSC program officer for Volunteer Michigan, has left the MCSC staff for another position. We have made the strategic decision to not replace this position immediately until we see how the federal appropriations play out. In the interim Diana Algra and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, who have been an important partner in this work, will take on some additional responsibilities, specifically related to the Volunteer Generation Fund Grant. We will also expand the work of Bob Kahle, the evaluator for this initiative, to take on some of the site visit work. The MCSC and partners will promote MLK Day and will award 21 grants (approximately $8,000) to organizations that will coordinate service projects. There are 44 registered service projects for MLK Day. DHS Director Corrigan will participate in a project hosted by one of our AmeriCorps programs in Detroit. Commissioner Algra updated Commissioners on the Reimaging Service initiative which is looking increasing the social impact of effective volunteer engagement and increasing the impact of volunteers through practice, research, and funding. The Michigan partners are trying to bring the model (created in California) to Michigan and using the curriculum to train nonprofits in how to effectively engage volunteers. The training is not on volunteer management and best practices, it is on training nonprofits to understand in engaging volunteers as a central focus of that agency's work. There will be a national rollout of this work with an RFP process to State Commissions and other affiliates interested in the implementation ofthis initiative. Ms. VanDam also shared that there is a possibility that the MCSC will need to raise funds to support this initiative and there is not funds available in the MCSC and VCM budget to support it. Ms. VanDam also shared information on this year's Giving and Volunteering Celebration which will take place on Wednesday, April24, on the lawn ofthe State Capitol. The event is held during National Volunteer Week. During the event the key partners (MCSC, MNA, CMF, VCM, MCC, CNCS and The LEAGUE Michigan) will bring awareness and recognition of the impact that volunteering is having in our state. We will also unveil the first Michigan Civic Health Index Report and will do a call to action as a result of some of the indicators from the report. We will also be recognizing an AmeriCorps Alumn and Senior Corps volunteer. The State of Michigan Social Media office approached the MCSC ill rolling out a statewide social media "pay it forward" campaign called #MiGoodDeeds and will encourage people to volunteer. 5 �We convinced them to launch in April during the Giving and Volunteering event. Recourses will be available to fmd information on volunteering, and we will be profiling the Governor's Service Awards fmalists, Global Youth Service Awards, and then conclude with our Signature Service Project in May. 4. Governor' s Service Awards- Ms. VanDam explained that the nomination forms have been distributed for the 2013 Governor's Service Awards and are due March 1. The Executive Committee requested that the event be moved to a different location as it is been in Detroit for the past three years. The 2013 event will be held in Grand Rapids at the Meijer Gardens at the end of July. We will begin the fundraising for the event and will do additional outreach to organizations in Grand Rapids since the event will be there this year. Commissioners will be asked to assist with the fundraising. There was one change to the Corporate category. The rule has been that once you have won an award in a category, you cannot win again in that category. After some feedback from some corporations, the Executive Committee has changed the policy to allow Corporations to win again as long as they haven't won in the last 5 years. C. Financial Report- Garry Gross shared the fmancial statement for FY13 first quarter. The MCSC is waiting to see how VGF funding will be and whether there will be disability and PDAT funding. Fortunately we have some carry·over of our federal funds from past years which will help carry us through this year. D. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Funding Update- Ms. VanDam explained that we are still operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR). If there is a CR for the rest of the fiscal year, this could hurt the MCSC because last year state commissions took a cut in terms of the overall appropriation for state commission admin. Then if the sequestering hits, it would be an additional 7-8% cut for commissions. The MCSC has some unspent carry over federal dollars due to some of the staff transitions last year so should be fine this year. 2. CNCS Update- Cathy Sharp shared the CNCS Michigan profile with Commissioners. There are more than 7,700 Senior Corps members and 1,800 AmeriCorps members in Michigan this year. The profile highlights where the members serve. The CNCS is also working on a city profile. AmeriCorps*VISTA issues an annual NOF A process. The CNCS State office will not be issuing a request for concept paper this year because they are at their resource maximum. There will be a VISTA PSO training (pre-service orientation) in Detroit in February for approximately 40 VISTA members. There will be approximately 70 summer associates which is a short term VISTA program (8-10 weeks). Cathy explained the CNCS has a new initiative, Mayors Day of Recognition, where Mayors will sign on to commit to acknowledging a National Day of Service in their city on April 9th. It can be a proclamation or an event. The Michigan City of Service Mayors have all signed on (Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Muskegon). The Michigan Association of Mayors are meeting on April 9th so are hoping they will commit to doing something on that day. 6 �E. V. Partner Update- Diana Algra shared that Kyle Caldwell, former CEO ofthe Michigan Nonprofit Association, has moved on to the C.S. Mott Foundation. Kelley Kuhn will be the acting CEO until a replacement has been identified. New Business A. Mission Statement- Chair Bloodworth explained that the MCSC would like to update the mission statement. Draft MCSC Mission Statements were shared and Commissioners were asked for their feedback. Ms. VanDam shared that we wanted to Commissioners to have a discussion about the mission statement and to have a statement that is more in line with where we are today and the direction we are heading, including using the service as a strategy language because that is important. A subcommittee was set up with Commissioners Miles Wiles and David Price offering to serve on the committee. B. VI. Blue Cross Blue Shield - Commissioner Bob Kolt offered up an additional item on the agenda. He served as the Chair of AARP and the restructuring of Blue Cross Blue Shield was a major issue for them. Part of the restructuring included discussion around the nonprofit assets that they had. The idea was that a trust fund could be created (similar to the Natural Resource Trust Fund) in which money would be allocated to support seniors and youth (50% for senior support programs and 50% for youth initiatives). The Governor ended up vetoing the legislation. Bob feels that because the of the MCSC leadership role and the intention to focus on the big fix, that the MCSC should be part of the conversation around these public assets. Commissioner Collier explained that CMF has been involved in protecting the charitable assets. The focus is on creating a health endowment fund through the Health and Wellness Foundation. The MCSC could focus on the health aspect of volunteering when the Health Committee meets. Public Comment - Commissioner Collier suggested that we get Michigan Reading Corps on the agenda at the Governor' s Education Summit and also have AmeriCorps involved in education attend and talk about the value of AmeriCorps. Ms. VanDam shared that Jocelyn Vanda, the DHS representative that has been attending the MCSC Board meetings, retired in December.

Welcome and Introductions- Chair Bloodworth welcomed Commissioners at 11:33 am and asked Commissioners to introduce themselves and share their connection to AmeriCorps. II. Review & Approval of August 29, 2012 Minutes- Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the August 29, 2012 MCSC board meeting. Commissioner Collier motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Algra seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Minutes from October 19,2012 Meeting. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee minutes from October 19, 2012. Commissioner Algra motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Swartz seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Board Development- Commissioner Bloodworth welcomed the new Commissioners. Their bios were included in the board meeting packet. IV. Executive Director Report- Paula Kaiser VanDam A. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Funding Update -Ms. VanDam explained that with the election over there should be a federal budget approved soon. We will then know where we stand not only for some of the administration dollars we receive but also AmeriCorps funding. We are also waiting to hear about the training dollars that we receive. The MCSC would receive a training grant to provide training to AmeriCorps grantees and support to other National Service programs in Michigan. That funding has been diminished through the federal appropriations process. Given that funding decrease, the CNCS is looking at the most effective ways to administer those dollars for the greatest impact. In the past state commissions received those dollars on a formula basis. It looks like that funding will be distributed on a competitive basis in the future instead of every state having access to those dollars. This will lead to more regional trainings instead of state specific training. Paula serves as the chair of Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) and they are working closely around the impact this will have to state commissions and the quality of the work. This pot of money allows state commissions to bring AmeriCorps programs together to give them the skills and knowledge they need to effectively run AmeriCorps programs. The Senate version of the budget for CNCS has money for state commissions for training, the President's budget does not reflect that, and the House budget eliminates funding for CNCS except Senior Corps. 2. CNCS Leadership- Bill Basl, Director of AmeriCorps, joined the MCSC for the AmeriCorps Member Celebration and the MCSC Board meeting. Wendy Spencer is now the CEO of CNCS and has been spending a great deal of time traveling the country and working with lawmakers to understand the value of AmeriCorps and rebuilding the bipartisan support for national service. 3. CNCS Update- Cathy Sharp shared that 98 new AmeriCorps*VISTAs will be attending PSO training on December 2 and then will start their year of service in Michigan. Overall, there will be approximately 200 AmeriCorps*VISTA 2 �members in Michigan. Eight members are serving at the United Way of Southeast Michigan with the Department of Education Together for Tomorrow program. Senior Corps/RSVP programs have been involved in the review process for the first ever competitive funding. There are over 10,000 Senior Corps members in Michigan. There are also 12 Senior Companion/Foster Grandparent programs that are up for approval for funding. Bill Basl thanked Paula and Commissioners for inviting him. He shared that 1,200 national service participants (over 1,000 AmeriCorps members) are in New York and New Jersey responding to Hurricane Sandy disaster. AmeriCorps members are helping to support the shelter operations. These shelters house folks who have lost their residences and are also serving people with special needs (individuals that have been evacuated from nursing homes and other care facilities). Three AmeriCorps teams (Conservation Corps from Iowa, Minnesota and Washington) were asked by FEMA to take on a special mission at Kennedy Airport. The Russian government has donated 18,000 blankets to the recovery effort. FEMA asked these AmeriCorps members to unload these blankets from the Russian transport and distribute them to the shelters. During disasters, AmeriCorps members are able to respond to the different needs and able to be on the ground and present for those that need help. Mr. Basl thanked Commissioners for serving and shared that Commissioners are an extension of helping prioritize in Michigan what the priorities should be in national service and promote service and volunteerism in Michigan. We look to you for leadership and vision because this is where the innovation comes from. The creativity comes from states that use AmeriCorps and national service as a strategy to address issues. It's a strategy to address this huge issue of veterans coming back from the war. AmeriCorps can serve as a transition place for veterans and to serve other veterans or the community at large. It' s a way where national service can be used as a strategy to help build aging communities and communities that have suffered during this economic downturn. It' s the national service vision and strategy that can help neighborhoods in Detroit that suffer. Commissioners make the decision and priorities with the formula funding. There is a tremendous responsibility placed on Commissioners as stewards of public money, making the decisions that make the best fit, and making decisions that complement the Michigan state service plan. Mr. Basl shared that Paula and the MCSC staff are well known throughout the country for the quality work they do. He hopes Commissioners will help guide the country in national service. Mr. Basl also explained that they are working with the Department ofVeterans Affairs to have AmeriCorps members that are veterans posted on community c'ollege campus and universities to help veterans who are going to college on the GI bill be able to transition from military service and have a positive experience on campus and graduate. Close to 50% of the veterans nationally that are going to school on the GI bill drop out. Many of them that drop out, if they don't make some kind of plan, will have to pay back the money. What we have found is that where there are veterans serving as AmeriCorps members on college campuses, and serving as that intermediary, serving as the person to lean on, the graduation rate goes past 75%. It also engages veterans so they fmd a community where they are able to volunteer and get involved and also work with other individuals rather than going to school 3 �alone. Mr. Basl also shared that it is important to educate the legislators. Commissioners play an important role to share the message and to be accountable. One way to be accountable is to share the programs that are funded and what their outcomes are, showing data driven results and the return on investment. B. Program Updates 1. Volunteer Michigan - Ms. VanDam explained that Volunteer Michigan is the MCSC's volunteer infrastructure strategy and initiative. The MCSC has a Volunteer Generative Fund grant from CNCS to do this work. We have been partnering with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan with grants to seven volunteer centers to focus on creating collaboratives to increase the volunteer infrastructure and increase the capacity of community partners to better and more effectively engage volunteers to address specific needs. We have also been able to purchase the new Hands On Connect technology for a number of volunteer centers. We will be launching the new state portal that will connect the technology in January. Ms. VanDam also shared information on MLK Jr. Day of Service. In partnership with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the LEAGUE Michigan, we will be offering minigrants to organizations that will be holding events around the MLK Day of Service. Ms. VanDam updated Commissioners on the initiative to bring Reimaging Service to Michigan. We hosted a reception at the CMF/MNA Conference in October for select nonprofit, foundation and corporate leaders to introduce them to Reimaging Service. Staff will be convening in early February to layout the Michigan rollout plan. California has developed a curriculum to train nonprofit service enterprises and are in the process of refining and piloting the curriculum. Michigan hopes to bring the program to some Volunteer Centers and to the Management Service Organizations (training and technical assistance organizations for nonprofit organizations). California will not be ready to train anyone on the curriculum until late summer/early fall. 2. AmeriCorps- Commissioner Julie Calley updated Commissioners on the Minnesota Reading Corps initiative, which Michigan is replicating. The program targets Tier 2 children ages 3 through 3 rd grade and provides AmeirCorps members as tutors to help them read. (Tier 1 are the children who are reading at or above grade level, tier 3 may be struggling to the extent that they qualify for Title 1 services, Tier 2 is below reading level but there are not any services for them at this time.) In Minnesota, they placed AmeriCorps members in schools 20 minutes per day with a student in need. This gave the children the attention they needed on a daily basis. These children were three times less likely to enter special education. Minnesota estimates it saves them $9 million annually in special education costs. The kids who participated and graduated out of the program scored higher on their reading tests in 3rd grade than the average student. It is data-based and they only graduate out of the program when the data shows they are performing and proficient. They can come back into the program if they fall behind again. They chose to work with third grade because historically third grade is the indicator for high school drop-out (the saying is up to third grade you learn to read, after third grade you read to learn). There are AmeriCorps 4 �members within the school, each school has an internal literacy coach, and then there are regional coaches overseeing them as well. This program is being brought to Michigan because 32% of our third graders are not reading at grade level. If you look at disadvantaged children only, the number grows to 45%. The national average says that 74% of children that read poorly in third grade will continue to do so throughout their time in school. The third grade reading proficiency is a dashboard piece on the Governor's Dashboard. There is a current pilot through the Heart of West Michigan United Way (10 members in 4 schools) for this program year. The initial AmeriCorps proposal that is being submitted for competitive funding includes 50 members the first year, 75 members the second year, and 100 members the third year. They would impact 1,500 students the first year, 2,250 the second year, and 3,000 students the final year. The Heart of West Michigan United Way has agreed to be the lead agency as well as the fiduciary. We will share greater details on the proposal at the January meeting. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to focus on a need and try to move the needle on this need. Ms. VanDam shared that the Commissioner work group that met on developing the Michigan program agreed to focus on K3rd grade and not take on the pre-K component at this time. She also explained the criteria of how schools will be chosen for the program. Ms. VanDam updated Commissioners on the veterans AmeriCorps program. The agency that was going to serve as the fiscal agency for the program has decided that they did not have the capacity from a financial management perspective to administer the program. The Michigan Association of United Ways has agreed to serve as the fiscal agency for the grant. - -- 3. Mentor Michigan- Michigan's Statewide Mentoring Conference took place on Wednesday. Michigan Mentoring Month will take place in January. ~ C. State Service Plan- The MCSC will be working on a new three-year State Service Plan. We will be sharing with Commissioners at an upcoming board meeting more information on what the plan will look like. D.

The funds will be distributed in early 2013 in the form of mini-grants for mentoring programs to support outdoor match activities that involve fishing. In total, the group raised $3,340, which was awarded to Mentor Michigan during a check presentation ceremony on January 10, 2013 at the Michigan Natural Resources Commission meeting. The funds will be dispersed to mentoring programs throughout the state to support fishing-related activities and expenses. The DNR will provide a resource guide for mentoring programs with a variety of ideas on how to use these funds. National Mentoring Summit More than 650 attendees from youth-serving organizations, along with government, civic, research, philanthropic and corporate sectors will join together in Washington DC for the third annual National Mentoring Summit on January 24 and 25. The Summit provides a platform to share innovative program models, examine new research, project future developments in the field and fundamentally ensure that more youth receive quality mentoring throughout America. This year's theme for the Summit is "Mentoring Works: Inspire. Achieve. Advocate.". We are excited to announce that Lt. Governor Brian Calley and Commissioner Julie Calley will be joining the Michigan delegation at this year's Summit. Lt. Governor Calley will be speaking during the plenary session on Friday morning about the importance of mentoring, his commitment to increasing the quality and quantity of mento ring in the state, and his support of Mentor Michigan. In addition, Michigan mentoring programs such as VIP Mentoring, Child Safe, Winning Futures, and Michigan State University Extension will be leading workshops throughout the Summit. Amber Troupe, Mentor Michigan Director, will be involved in three workshops that will highlight Mentor Michigan's work on serving youth in foster care, men in mentoring, and college positive mentoring. Michigan Mentoring Month January is National and Michigan Mentoring Month. This annual event is designed to generate a concentrated burst of national, statewide, and local media activity that will draw attention to the important role of mentoring and recruit new mentors. To help Michigan mentoring organizations make the most of event, Mentor Michigan has provided the field with a variety of tools and resources, including an online toolkit and recruitment event mini-grants.

As a result, youth and their mentors across Michigan will be able to enjoy the fun and excitement of fishing together. In December, employees of the Fisheries Division held a silent auction with the proceeds benefiting Mentor Michigan- a state agency which supports 250 mentoring organizations throughout Michigan . In total , the group raised $3 ,340 , which was awarded to the group during a check presentation ceremony on January 10, 2013 at the Michigan Natural Resources Commission meeting . The funds will be dispersed to mentoring programs throughout the state to support fishing-related activities and expenses . "Fishing is a great activity for youth ," said Mentor Michigan Director Amber Troupe. "However, some mentees have never enjoyed the fishing experience because they don't have the proper equipment, transportation , or otherwise. With this generous donation from the Fisheries Division, we can now provide mentoring programs across the state with the funds they need to support fishing activities and other related expenses. " "For mentors and their mentees who already love to fish, we hope these grants will provide the resources mentoring programs need to make fishing a regular match activity," commented Fisheries Division Chief Jim Dexter, who presented the donated funds to Mentor Michigan . "For other mentoring matches who have never tried their hand at fishing, we hope these funds will allow their mentoring programs to create a first-time fishing experience that we know matches will love." Additional information about the Mentor Michigan DNR Fisheries Division mini-grants, including application materials, activity ideas, and more, can be found at www.mentormichigan .org in the coming weeks. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Mentor Michigan supports nearly 250 organizations around the state that are changing lives by matching mentors with young people . Mentor Michigan provides those organizations with training and research. It fosters partnerships with businesses, faith-based and nonprofit organizations , schools, colleges and universities, and state and local government to support mentoring. Mentor Michigan also builds public awareness about the importance of and the need for mentors by urging caring adults to "Pass It On ," because sharing a little of yourself with a young person can reward both of you with lifelong benefits. Mentor Michigan is an initiative of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the state agency on service and volunteerism. In 2012-13, the MCSC is granting more than $7.5 million in federal and private funds to local communities for volunteer programs and activities. ### � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Angelia Salas, Volunteer Michigan Program Director, left the MCSC for a new position at Michigan Association ofNonpublic Schools the end for December. We will be holding off replacing the position until we know more about the federal budget (VGF funding, Federal Administration funding, and training funding) and are working with Volunteer Centers of Michigan to make sure we can complete Year 3 of the grant responsibilities.

It will also be sent out electronically through our e-newsletter database. The categories for 2013 have remained the same, with a guideline change in the corporate category. Past recipients of this award are eligible nominees as long as they haven't won in the last 5 years. There was discussion around the venue options. MCSC staff has identified venues in Grand Rapids and Saginaw. Commissioners recommended that the event be held in West Michigan (Grand Rapids) in 2013 since it has been in Detroit for the last few years. There may be also a better opportunity for fundraising for the event in Grand Rapids. A GSA Committee will be identified at the January 17 board meeting with hopes that some Grand Rapids area Commissioners will join the committee to assist with fundraising. Giving and Volunteering Celebration The annual Giving and Volunteering Celebration will take place at the Capitol during National Volunteer Week on Wednesday, April24. The MCSC is working with our partners, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan, Michigan Campus Compact, and Council ofMichigan Foundations to plan the event.

Serving at more than 2,000 locations throughout the state, these citizens tutor and mentor children, support veterans and military families, provide health services, restore the environment, respond to disasters, increase economic opportunity, and recruit and manage volunteers. This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) will commit more than $27,940,000 to support Michigan communities through national service initiatives. CNCS invests in cost-effective community solutions--working hand in hand with local partners to improve lives, expand economic oppportunity, and engage citizens in solving problems in their communities. Serving in many of the state's most impoverished communities, CNCS provides vital support to schools, food banks, homeless shelters, community health clinics, youth centers, veterans service facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations at a time of growing demand for services. Through a unique public-private partnership, this federal investment will leverage an additional $14,940,000 in other resources to strengthen community impact, build local support, and increase return on taxpayer dollars. AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,800 individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other pressing needs ip communities across Michigan. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Michigan Community Service Commission, which in turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of the grant funding is distributed by CNCS directly to multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants process. Other individuals serve through AmeriCorps VISTA, whose members help bring individuals and communities out of poverty by serving full-time to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses, and increase housing opportunities, and AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a 10-month, full time residential program for men and women between the ages of 18 and 24. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 24,000 Michigan residents have served more than 29 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $73,390,000. HEALTHY FUTURES ' VETERANS AN D MILITARY FAMILIES Senior Corps: More than 7,700 seniors in Michigan contribute their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps programs. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 5,500 young people ·who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 2,100 homebound seniors and other adults maintain indepen~ence in their own homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols, renovate homes, protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services through more than 1,100 groups across Michigan. Social Innovation Fund: The Social Innovation Fund transforms lives and communities using limited federal investment as a catalyst to grow the impact of nonprofits with evidence of strong results. It harnesses the expertise of grantmaking intermediaries to identify, evaluate and expand effective nonprofits and engages funding partners to contribute nearly three dollars to every one federal dollar invested. As the Social Innovation Fund network grows programs that work in Michigan, more people are able to overcome their most pressing challenges in the areas of economic opportunity, health, and youth development. The Social Innovation Fund is investing $2,740,000 in expanding the impact of 19 nonprofits in Michigan, selected and .supported by 1 intermediary. The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communities, and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. CNCS annually engages more than four million Americans in service to meet local needs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and national days of service; improves communities through the Social Innovation Fund, and leads President Obama's national call to service initiative, United We Serve.

It increases the capacity and infrastructure of organizations to more effectively engage volunteers, including those from specific population groups such as youth, adults age 55 years and older and highly-skilled volunteers. Days of Service In partnership with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Association and the LEAGUE Michigan, we have developed a strong and coordinated strategy for promoting three critical Days of Service in Michigan- MLK Jr. Day of Service, Global Youth Service Day and 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance. Through our 2012 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance mini-grant efforts, more than 7,915 citizens volunteered more than 22,000 hours of service. Those volunteers impacted 35,348 individuals, including 728 veterans and military families. In addition, more than 100 veterans participated as volunteers during 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance activities. As a requirement of the Volunteer Generation Fund grants, each subgrantee was required to engage in a minimum of two Days of Service. The grantees have demonstrated increased participation in their Days of Service activities and HandsOn Connect has allowed them a better means for tracking the data . We will have complete participation data for the year once their November progress reports are submitted . We are currently reviewing mini-grant applications for the 2013 MLK Jr. Day of Service. We received nearly 50 appl ications that will be reviewed through a peer review on November 12, 2012. Site Visits During this period, staff conducted site visits to four Volunteer Generation Fund sites . Each site is making adequate progress toward their goals of addressing public safety and health-related issues. Through community collaboratives, the use of HandsOn Connect technology, and Days of Service, each center has been successful in mobilizing volunteers around these two targeted issues. There were no compliance issues cited during these visits. HandsOn Connect Orientation and Training Staff from the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan have completed HandsOn Connect training in preparation for the state portal launch . The training included nearly 30 hours of webinars, homework and online lab time. The launch of the portal is expected in January barring any technical difficulties. Youth Service Institute Conference in Houston Angelia Salas attended the three-day Youth Service Institute in Houston, Texas on October 17-19. The Institute is conducted annually by Youth Serve America and is designed to assist agencies in supporting quality youth service. The Michigan Community Service Commission, the LEAGUE Michigan, Youthville Detroit, and the Kids Food Basket from Grand Rapids were awarded Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) Lead Agency grants. As a Lead Agency, we will collaborate with the LEAGUE on promotion and mini-grants for the April 26-28 Days of Service. Last year, more than 4,000 volunteers were engaged for GYSD, 3,432 of which were youth . Due to our consistent messaging and the resources we provide, we expect to exceed these participation numbers in 2013. Reimaging Service On October 8th we held a Reimagining Service reception in conjunction with the combined Council of Michigan Foundations and Michigan Nonprofit Association conference. Kaira Esgate, Executive Director of Reimagining Service, did a brief overview to the select nonprofit, volunteer center, foundation and corporate executives in attendance. She also facilitated a workshop on the elements of "Service Enterprises." Both audiences received her presentations with enthusiasm. We plan to bring together a group of folks in early February to create the Michigan rollout plan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introductions- Chair Bloodworth welcomed Commissioners at 11:33 am and asked Commissioners to introduce themselves and share their connection to AmeriCorps. II. Review & Approval of August 29, 2012 Minutes- Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the August 29, 2012 MCSC board meeting. Commissioner Collier motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Algra seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Minutes from October 19, 2012 Meeting. Chair Bloodworth asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee minutes from October 19, 2012. Commissioner Algra motioned to approve the minutes; Commissioner Swartz seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. · B. Board Development- Commissioner Bloodworth welcomed the new Commissioners. Their bios were included in the board meeting packet. IV. Executive Director Report - Paula Kaiser VanDam A. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Funding Update- Ms. VanDam explained that with the election over there should be a federal budget approved soon. We will then know where we stand not only for some of the administration dollars we receive but also AmeriCorps funding. We are also waiting to hear about the training dollars that we receive. The MCSC would receive a training grant to provide training to AmeriCorps grantees and support to other National Service programs in Michigan. That funding has been diminished through the federal appropriations process. Given that funding decrease, the CNCS is looking at the most effective ways to administer those dollars for the greatest impact. In the past state commissions received those dollars on a formula basis. It looks like that funding will be distributed on a competitive basis in the future instead of every state having access to those dollars. This will lead to more regional trainings instead of state specific training. Paula serves as the chair of Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) and they are working closely around the impact this will have to state commissions and the quality of the work. This pot of money allows state commissions to bring AmeriCorps programs together to give them the skills and knowledge they need to effectively run AmeriCorps programs. The Senate version of the budget for CNCS has money for state commissions for training, the President's budget does not reflect that, and the House budget eliminates funding for CNCS except Senior Corps. 2. CNCS Leadership- Bill Basl, Director of AmeriCorps, joined the MCSC for the AmeriCorps Member Celebration and the MCSC Board meeting. Wendy Spencer is now the CEO of CNCS and has been spending a great deal of time traveling the country and working with lawmakers to understand the value of AmeriCorps and rebuilding the bipartisan support for national service. 3. CNCS Update- Cathy Sharp shared that 98 new AmeriCorps*VISTAs will be attending PSO training on December 2 and then will start their year of service in Michigan. Overall, there will be approximately 200 AmeriCorps*VISTA 2 �members in Michigan. Eight members are serving at the United Way of Southeast Michigan with the Department of Education Together for Tomorrow program. Senior Corps/RSVP programs have been involved in the review process for the first ever competitive funding. There are over 10,000 Senior Corps members in Michigan. There are also 12 Senior Companion/Foster Grandparent programs that are up for approval for funding. Bill Basl thanked Paula and Commissioners for inviting him. He shared that 1,200 national service participants (over 1,000 AmeriCorps members) are in New York and New Jersey responding to Hurricane Sandy disaster. AmeriCorps members are helping to support the shelter operations. These shelters house folks who have lost their residences and are also serving people with special needs (individuals that have been evacuated from nursing homes and other care facilities). Three AmeriCorps teams (Conservation Corps from Iowa, Minnesota and Washington) were asked by FEMA to take on a special mission at Kennedy Airport. The Russian government has donated 18,000 blankets to the recovery effort. FEMA asked these AmeriCorps members to unload these blankets from the Russian transport and distribute them to the shelters. During disasters, AmeriCorps members are able to respond to the different needs and able to be on the ground and present for those that need help. Mr. Basl thanked Commissioners for serving and shared that Commissioners are an extension of helping prioritize in Michigan what the priorities should be in national service and promote service and volunteerism in Michigan. We look to you for leadership and vision because this is where the innovation comes from. The creativity comes from states that use AmeriCorps and national service as a strategy to address issues. It's a strategy to address this huge issue of veterans coming back from the war. AmeriCorps can serve as a transition place for veterans and to serve other . veterans or the community at large. It's a way where national service can be used as a strategy to help build aging communities and communities that have suffered during this economic downturn. It' s the national service vision and strategy that can help neighborhoods in Detroit that suffer. Commissioners make the decision and priorities with the formula funding. There is a tremendous responsibility placed on Commissioners as stewards of public money, making the decisions that make the best fit, and making decisions that complement the Michigan state service plan. Mr. Basl shared that Paula and the MCSC staff are well known throughout the country for the quality work they do. He hopes Commissioners will help guide the country in national service. Mr. Basl also explained that they are working with the Department ofVeterans Affairs to have AmeriCorps members that are veterans posted on community college campus and universities to help veterans who are going to college on the GI bill be able to transition from military service and have a positive experience on campus and graduate. Close to 50% of the veterans nationally that are going to school on the GI bill drop out. Many of them that drop out, if they don't make some kind of plan, will have to pay back the money. What we have found is that where there are veterans serving as AmeriCorps members on college campuses, and serving as that intermediary, serving as the person to lean on, the graduation rate goes past 75%. It also engages veterans so they find a community where they are able to volunteer and get involved and also work with other individuals rather than going to school 3 �alone. Mr. Basl also shared that it is important to educate the legislators. Commissioners play an important role to share the message and to be accountable. One way to be accountable is to share the programs that are funded and what their outcomes are, showing data driven results and the return on investment. B. Program Updates 1. Volunteer Michigan - Ms. VanDam explained that Volunteer Michigan is the MCSC's volunteer infrastructure strategy and initiative. The MCSC has a Volunteer Generative Fund grant from CNCS to do this work. We have been partnering with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan with grants to seven volunteer centers to focus on creating collaboratives to increase the volunteer infrastructure and increase the capacity of community partners to better and more effectively engage volunteers to address specific needs. We have also been able to purchase the new Hands On Connect technology for a number of volunteer centers. We will be launching the new state portal that will connect the technology in January. Ms. VanDam also shared information on MLK Jr. Day of Service. In partnership with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the LEAGUE Michigan, we will be offering minigrants to organizations that will be holding events around the MLK Day of Service. Ms. VanDam updated Commissioners on the initiative to bring Reimaging Service to Michigan. We hosted a reception at the CMFIMNA Conference in October for select nonprofit, foundation and corporate leaders to introduce them to Reimaging Service. Staff will be convening in early February to layout the Michigan rollout plan. California has developed a curriculum to train nonprofit service enterprises and are in the process of refining and piloting the curriculum. Michigan hopes to bring the program to some Volunteer Centers and to the Management Service Organizations (training and technical assistance organizations for nonprofit organizations). California will not be ready to train anyone on the curriculum until late summer/early fall. 2. AmeriCorps- Commissioner Julie Calley updated Commissioners on the Minnesota Reading Corps initiative, which Michigan is replicating. The program targets Tier 2 children ages 3 through 3 rd grade and provides AmeirCorps members as tutors to help them read. (Tier 1 are the children who are reading at or above grade level, tier 3 may be struggling to the extent that they qualify for Title 1 services, Tier 2 is below reading level but there are not any services for them at this time.) In Minnesota, they placed AmeriCorps members in schools 20 minutes per day with a student in need. This gave the children the attention they needed on a daily basis. These children were three times less likely to enter special education. Minnesota estimates it saves them $9 million annually in special education costs. The kids who participated and graduated out of the program scored higher on their reading tests in 3rd grade than the average student. It is data-based and they only graduate out of the program when the data shows they are performing and proficient. They can come back into the program if they fall behind again. They chose to work with third grade because historically third grade is the indicator for high school drop-out (the saying is up to third grade you learn to read, after third grade you read to learn). There are AmeriCorps 4 �members within the school, each school has an internal literacy coach, and then there are regional coaches overseeing them as well. This program is being brought to Michigan because 32% of our third graders are not reading at grade level. If you look at disadvantaged children only, the number grows to 45%. The national average says that 74% of children that read poorly in third grade will continue to do so throughout their time in school. The third grade reading proficiency is a dashboard piece on the Governor's Dashboard. There is a current pilot through the Heart of West Michigan United Way (10 members in 4 schools) for this program year. The initial AmeriCorps proposal that is being submitted for competitive funding includes 50 members the first year, 75 members the second year, and 100 members the third year. They would impact 1,500 students the first year, 2,250 the second year, and 3,000 students the fmal year. The Heart of West Michigan United Way has agreed to be the lead agency as well as the fiduciary. We will share greater details on the proposal at the January meeting. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to focus on a need and try to move the needle on this need. Ms. VanDam shared that the Commissioner work group that met on developing the Michigan program agreed to focus on K3rd grade and not take on the pre-K component at this time. She also explained the criteria of how schools will be chosen for the program. Ms. VanDam updated Commissioners on the veterans AmeriCorps program. The agency that was going to serve as the fiscal agency for the program has decided that they did not have the capacity from a financial management perspective to administer the program. The Michigan Association of United Ways has agreed to serve as the fiscal agency for the grant. 3. Mentor Michigan- Michigan's Statewide Mentoring Conference took place on Wednesday.
