Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. He welcomed new Commissioner Michael Hill and Karen Betley. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval ofNovember 17,2008 Minutes- Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 17, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from January 8, 2009 meeting. Chairman Mulhern shared that the committee approved AmeriCorps competitive funding. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the January 8, 2009 Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Niester moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report - Musette Michael A. Standards Review- Paula Kaiser VanDam shared that on July 27-31 there will be a team of 4-5 individuals representing the CNCS conducting a Standards Review. They have established eight standards that address Commission operations and oversight of sub-grantees. They will review policy and procedures related to these two items and there will be an overall assessment of how we conduct our business. We will either pass or, if we are not passing all of these standards, we will go through a remedial process to ·make sure that we are meeting these standards. The standards process has been in existence since 1999 and this will be the second time we have gone through it. The last time we passed with flying colors and many of the staff have gone through the process. They have simplified the process since the last time we went through it (last time there were 12 standards and now there are 8). They have worked hard to streamline the process and to identify what they think are the most critical pieces that need to be in place related to commissions. The standards help the Corporation establish expectations of state commissions and then hold commissions accountable to those expectations. We are working as a staff to prepare for it. We are also working with DHS staff to make sure they understand the expectations. Ms. Michael shared that the Corporation considers the MCSC to be highly functioning and the Commissioners are known to be connected and engaged so we are going into the standards review with a good reputation. B. 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action- Musette Michael explained that the updated Blueprint for Action is included with the goals that staff is expected to meet for the next two years. Staff presented a draft to Commissioners at the November meeting 2 �and have included Commissioner's comments and changes into this fmal version. Activities to accomplish the goals for each program area are also included. C. National Service Update, Advocacy, Public Relations 1. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Musette Michael shared there is a lot going on at the national level around national service. The President recently signed into law the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. State and national AmeriCorps programs received $89 million. The MCSC anticipates receiving $2.67 million to expand our 18 existing grantees. This is an estimated amount but could translate into 200 additional full-time members in Michigan. This does not include the VISTA slots that Evan Albert will receive. The money will be disbursed through the formula and competitive mechanisms. The Act states that the money can only go to existing grantees. Existing programs can partner with another nonprofit organization to provide additional opportunities. We are working with the Governor's office to ensure that the additional AmeriCorps funds support Michigan' s recovery and reinvestment goals. There may be an opportunity for match waivers also. There will be accountability, performance and tracking requirements for the funds . Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC is waiting for the guidelines from the Corporation but has surveyed current programs to find out their interest and capacity for more members. Commissioner Collier asked whether we will be able to use the full funding the MCSC will receive. Ms. VanDam explained that without match waivers, it may be difficult but that the program staff is working with the programs to establish a plan so that all of the funds will be used. If the programs are not ready to accept or use this funding, the MCSC has other options available including working with the Governor' s office on some other options for use of the funding. Commissioner Collier said that if there is a match requirement, we should make sure that doesn't stand in the way. The MCSC needs to figure out a way to access it because we only get this funding once and we don't want to lose the opportunity to take advantage of it. 2. Serve America Act- Ms. Michael explained that the Serve American Act anticipates expanding the number of AmeriCorps members from 75 ,000 to 250,000. As far as we know, Congressman Hoekstra is the only Michigan legislator that does not support the Act. 3. Federal Legislation Updates- Ms. Michael shared that the House introduced the FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Act to provide funding for federal departments and programs. The House and Senate are expected to pass the Omnibus bill quickly as the continuing resolution expires on March 6. We will be meeting with federal legislators in April when they return to their districts for spring break and will be discussing legislation relating to national service. Commissioners will also be invited to participate in the legislative visits. There is also some discussion that reauthorization is moving quickly and may get connected to the Serve America Act. 4. CNCS Update- The CNCS has named a new Chair, Alan Solomont. He has been very supportive of service and has served on the CNCS board. The Corporation has not named a CEO as of yet. The President issued his initial FY10 budget summary and proposes $1.13 billion for the Corporation, an increase of $261 million, to increase its capacity to manage its programs. 3 �D. AmeriCorps- Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard 1. Program Update - Marcy explained that the program staff is committed to providing training and support to the Program Directors and has held conference calls monthly and will be holding a 2 Yz day meeting with them in March for indepth training, planning, and strategy sessions. At the meeting they will focus on program standards (both Corporation and MCSC) and discussing plans for the economic stimulus funding. The AmeriCorps competitive grant was submitted in January and the MCSC will hear in May which programs will be funded competitively. The program staff met with the Member Council in January. Marcy highlighted the Member Council blog they have created. 2. AmeriCorps Week- AmeriCorps Week will be May 9-16 and this year emphasis will be on educating the public and making sure they know what AmeriCorps is. Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs are also planning various projects and events. 3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- This year' s event will take place on May 15 and 16 in Flint and will be recognized as one of the signature closing events for AmeriCorps Week. Commissioners are urged to attend. Chairman Mulhern asked how we know about our effectiveness (standards are important so that we follow procedures). But the bigger question is how do we as a Commission know if we are serving AmeriCorps well and how do we know if AmeriCorps is really having an impact with our citizens and communities. Marcy explained that Megan Sargent surveys the grantees at the beginning of the program year to find out their technical assistance needs and we pay attention to that. We are also in constant communication with our grantees to know how they are doing, what they are doing, and what their needs are. As far as the programs and the members serving and how they are making an impact, all of our programs are required to do a progress report outlining what members are doing, and tracking their outcomes. Chairman Mulhern asked whether we are asking the "clients" how effective the AmeriCorps members are. Marcy stated that the programs conduct performance evaluations of the members and those are included in their progress reports. One of the sections of the progress report focuses on the impact. All of this information is then submitted to the Corporation. She also shared that on program site visits, they talk with executive directors, site supervisors, and members and get a subjective feeling of what is happening. Chairman Mulhern asked if AmeriCorps could present at a future meeting the effectiveness and impact AmeriCorps members are having. 4. Inclusion Update- Jeanine Yard gave an update on the Inclusion Committee and its members. Commissioner AI Swain also is a member of the committee. Several members attended the National Disability and Inclusion conference in the fall and then shared information from the conference with the committee during strategic planning meetings in November and January. They have developed three goals to be more inclusive across the state. The first goal is to promote Michigan's national service program as an opportunity and a bridge to skill building, career development, and community inclusion. Some committee members will be attending the Michigan Transition Association Conference and will serve on a panel to share with counselors and transition coordinators in K-12 schools about how service can be a great transition opportunity for those that are 4 �exiting school who may have some kind of disability (physical or learning). The second goal is partnerships that will develop ongoing state and local level relationships with stakeholders in the service and disability communities that promote the involvement of people with disabilities in volunteerism. The third goal is around policy and procedures by identifying and addressing local, state, and federal policies and practices that present barriers. The committee also has several presentations and exhibits scheduled in different communities. Also, each AmeriCorps Member Council representative is required to give one presentation to the disability community locally. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC receives a grant from the Corporation (this year it is $70,000) for inclusion that helps cover the costs of these trainings. The new AmeriCorps recruitment video was shown to Commissioners. The videos will be sent out to school counselors and resource coordinators, will be on the MCSC website, and shown during AmeriCorps week. The video will help to generate general awareness of AmeriCorps. We would like to connect with Campus Compact to distribute the video to campuses to help recruit members. Commissioners suggested having the video shown in the lobby of DHS offices, school associations and charter schools, Secretary of State offices, and video-on-demand. E. Mentor Michigan- Amber Reiss 1. Program Update- Ben Gulker, a new AmeriCorps*VISTA member joined the MCSC staff in December. His focus areas will be men in mentoring, children of incarcerated parents, and youth in and aging out of foster care. He has great skills that he brings to Mentor Michigan with a faith-based background and is tech savy so he is a great resource with MentorPRO and our online directory. With Ben on staff, we 've been able to increase our capacity with MentorPRO. He has been providing training and technical assistance with MentorPRO and outreach with other programs to get them on board with the system. There have also been some recent updates to our online directory. We had the opportunity to partner with MENTOR to merge the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. Programs are now registered in both online systems but only need to maintain one record. This program has enhanced features for both volunteers and programs. 2. Wave VI Census Results- Results were released in December. We had the highest participation rate ever but saw a decline in the number of mentors and youth served. The programs did show an increase in quality mentoring with more one-to-one matches compared to team mentoring and more programs are implementing the Quality Program Standards. 3. Mentoring Month- Elyse Walter shared highlights from Mentoring Month. There were 62 recruitment, recognition and/or celebration events this year that registered with Mentor Michigan and promoted on the Mentor Michigan website. We offered 38 Michigan Mentoring Month mini-grants that were distributed to some of these 62 events to help cover expenses for their events. Special promotions included the Lloyd Carr PSA that aired during each Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings game on Fox Sports Network- Detroit during January (the PSA aired nearly 100 times during the month) and also aired every hour for six days during the 2009 North American International Auto Show on two LED 5 �screens (PSA aired over 150 during the week) located outside of Cobo Hall. Governor Granholm also officially proclaimed the month of January as Michigan Mentoring Month and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern addressed mentoring in his weekly "Reading for Leading" e-newsletter. There were also several media hits throughout the month including an op-ed from Commissioner Joe Lubig in the Mining Journal. Ms. Michael announced that Amber Reiss has recently become a classified civil servant as the program officer for Mentor Michigan. This will provide stability for Mentor Michigan. F. Learn & Serve - Angelia Salas 1. Program Update- The 2009 Learn and Serve Outstanding Service-Learning Awards were presented earlier this month to outstanding candidates at The Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. Award categories included School Administrator, Innovative Program, Student Award, and Teacher/Practitioner Award. Commissioners Williamson and Alexander attended and helped present the awards. We were a sponsor of The Institute, a two-day event for K -12 and higher education representatives to gain professional development and training in service-learning. There were over 350 attendees this year. Learn and Serve - Michigan is working with RMC Research to conduct an evaluation oflocal Learn and Serve programs. Next year we will be working with other states who have agreed to use the same evaluation protocol and to look at whether service-learning in the classroom is high quality, meaning is it integrated into the curriculum and is it providing all the things outlined in the service-learning standards. Next year we will also evaluate school connectedness because we know that students that aren't connected to their schools, teachers, or communities tend to fall through the cracks. Last year we had more than 24,000 students involved in Learn and Serve programs, more than 1,000 teachers using Learn and Serve in their classrooms, and students provided more than 500,000 hours of service. Learn and Serve is using social media as a strategy. This year we received a small supplemental grant and have awarded three web 2.0 social media grants to look at how using this technology will help them engage more teachers, engage more students, and keep them connected in supporting one another. The Learn and Serve formula application has been submitted for funding for the next three years. We will be doing outreach and trying to reach high-poverty areas to make sure they have access to these funds . We are in the beginning of a three-year cycle which is an open competition, meaning all of our current grantees will have to reapply. We expect that most of them will be funded and are looking at funding approximately five new programs as well. Our competitive application will be due in April and our community-based application will be due also. 6 �G. Volunteer Investment Grants- Angelia Salas provided Commissioners with a current list ofVIG grantees who were awarded renewal funding. These grants look at the capacity of organizations to be better equipped to mobilize volunteers. The focus areas identified for the 2009 VIG were mentoring, engaging baby boomers, engaging youth in service, and dropout prevention. VIG grantees were required to develop activities that increased the number of volunteers in these focus areas and address current capacity issues. Grantees will meet in March to talk about program requirements, share best practices, and talk about social media techniques that can support their capacity. H. MLK Day Recap- Jeanine Yard shared that we had a very successful MLK Day of Service. This is the second year the MCSC has taken a leadership role in promoting MLK Day of Service. Through blast emails we were able to promote the different projects that were taking place and encourage organizations to register their projects. Last year there were 32 projects on the website and through partnerships with CNCSMichigan office, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE- Michigan, and Michigan Association of United Ways, Michigan registered 366 service projects. The President promoting the MLK Day of Service helped to increase this number substantially. The goal for next year is to continue to maintain the momentum, if funds are available offer mini-grants to those organizations that would like to do something, and to promote the day as a premier day of service. I. Governor' s Service Awards- Janice Harvey explained that the Commissioners have received an overview of the Governor' s Service Awards and the Sponsorship Opportunities and Benefits to use when making fundraising phone calls. A list of potential sponsors was included with follow-up information for Commissioners. The fundraising goal will be $100,000. The event will be held on June 25th at the Governor' s Lansing Residence, which will be a smaller but nice event. We will be able to cut some of the expenses of the event by holding it at the Residence and therefore have the same proceeds to support programming. J. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves outlined the financial statement presented to Commissioners highlighting the expenses for the first quarter. He also shared that the Mentor Michigan proposal submitted last fall was not approved for the budget. The potential savings to the budget was not enough to offset the cost of the program. Ms. Michael shared that it was the right proposal but the wrong economy to request additional funding. V. New Business A. Transition Discussion 1. Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce- Paula VanDam shared that the Taskforce, chaired by Tony Campbell, met in January. Three Mentor Michigan Providers Council members also serve on this taskforce. Gail Manza, former CEO of MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, was invited to present. She explained that there have been six other states that launched statewide mentoring initiatives from their Governor's office. Of the six, only one has successfully sustained itself and the other five are no longer in existence. It shows the 7 �challenge we have ahead of us but it also made us more determined that we are on the success side. Gail shared what she thought the key components of why it was successful in the one particular state (Connecticut) and why it was not successful in the other five. Mentor Michigan will be developing a plan. The intent is to have the Taskforce present their recommendations at the June board meeting for Commissioners to vote on. The taskforce was in agreement that they want Mentor Michigan to stay within the Commission but they want some options of which it can be sustained based on resources and leadership changes. They are advocating for an Executive Director or Deputy Director that would provide the sort of leadership that is going to allow Mentor Michigan to continue to be the type of organization it needs to be. They also talked about a second leadership body to be clearly defmed in terms of roles and responsibilities that would have Commissioner representatives and other key leaders across the state represented. Options will be presented to the Taskforce at a meeting on March 26, and then to the Board in June. 2. MCSC Transition Planning Committee- Lori Jewell presented a draft Organization Transition Plan to Commissioners. Key strategies necessary to move forward were identified. The first is to determine the components of an effective plan including sticking with our vision/values. This includes how we will tell our stories and the message we will use, who will be in the leadership position to help us execute that as we move forward, what will the MCSC structure look like during a transition, what resources (human, fmancial) will be needed to tell our story to make it a success as we move through the transition, and advocacy/awareness. The next key strategy is scenarios and being prepared for any leadership change situation. The third is assigning champions that can tell the story. The fourth is execution. There is not a timeline but that will be added to this section later. The last two strategies include monitoring/report progress and then wrap up/celebration. The Committee and key staff will help fill in the details of the plan. 3. MCSC Succession Planning Committee- Janet Lawson shared that the committee met via conference call and discussed succession planning, not with names, but what a plan would look like. The Executive Director position, which is a limited term appointment, was discussed. The role of the Commission is to support the Governor' s selection for that position. Both the Executive Director and the Chairman should not transition off at the same time. There seems to be reasons to have the Executive Director transition off first. One of those reasons is for stability; the new Executive Director should work with the existing chair so that there is continuity to programming. Also, on a national level, there are significant things happening in Washington DC and there is an immediate need for Michigan to step up to the plate, to be present, to claim our money, and to have a consistency with ASC and CNCS. We don't want them to see too many changes going on in Michigan at the same time. We discussed the immediacy of the Executive Director change to happen first. The chair transition was also discussed. The Chair is nominated by the Commission and is approved by the full board. During the last transition, Russ Mawby stepped in as chair and led the organization well through the transition. Similarly we need a Chair to come from 8 �our group, to be non-political, and who can lead us through the transition. Vernice Davis Anthony has recently been appointed to the board and has agreed to Chair the organization into the next administration. Vernice will be at our June meeting so Commissioners will have a chance to meet her. Commissioners will then vote in July. Commissioners asked for an opportunity to talk with her first before voting on Chair. Chair Mulhern and Commissioners thanked Musette Michael for her leadership role the past 2 years. VI. Public Comment Kyle Caldwell announced that the Day at the Capital event celebrating Giving & Volunteering will be on April22. Awards will be given to leaders in the public sector who have supported service and volunteerism and the Nonprofit Caucus will be unveiled. The SuperConference is May 4-5 at Dearborn Hyatt. MNA is doing research with Grand Valley State University around the financial crisis and how it has impacted nonprofits. They are also working with Public Sector Consultants to publish a study about the fmancial impact of the nonprofit sector- 1 in 10 jobs now are tied to the nonprofit sector. A county by county analysis will be given. VII.

These programs will use the funding to engage 289 additional members in providing financial planning, and housing assistance; prevent home foreclosures, support tutoring and literacy programs, weatherize homes, expand nonprofit capacity, recruit and manage volunteers, and provide other services to economically challenged communities. The AmeriCorps positions funded by the Recovery Act are one-time investments to improve the country's disparate economy, and are in addition to the nearly 75,000 AmeriCorps positions that will be funded across the country through the regular Fiscal Year 2009 budget through AmeriCorps State and National, VISTA, and NCCC. CNCS Competitive Funding Six programs are receiving funding for 2009-2010 in the amount of $2,191 ,583 total. AmeriCorps Week Recap Governor Jennifer M. Granholm declared the week of May 9, 2009, as Michigan's AmeriCorps Week. AmeriCorps members from all across Michigan engaged in various outreach events and service projects as they aimed to "get things done" for their local communities. AmeriCorps Week activities took place in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Holland, Houghton, Midland, Ovid, Rogers City, West Olive, and other locations throughout Michigan. In addition, the MCSC created and distributed hundreds of outreach packets, which included an introductory letter, AmeriCorps brochures, Michigan' s AmeriCorps outreach DVD, and a form to request additional materials. Packets were sent to high schools, colleges and universities, and disability organizations. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project More than 250 Michigan's AmeriCorps members gathered together on May 15-16 to help restore Flint's Grand Traverse neighborhood as part of the 2009 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project (SSP). By the end ofthe second day, several projects were completed, visibly demonstrating the power of Michigan's AmeriCorps members in action. The project also served as an official closing event for this year' s national AmeriCorps Week. Throughout the two days of service, Michigan's AmeriCorps members received encouraging words from several special guests, including Corporation for National and Community Service Board Member, Julie Fisher Cummings. Inclusion Initiative The mission of Michigan' s Statewide Inclusion Team is to promote and support full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of national service. The inclusion team meets bi-monthly and has expanded to include additional representation from national service and disability organizations. We have recently participated in several disability conferences/events promoting AmeriCorps, including the Michigan Transition Services �Association Conference, the Kent County Transition Conference, and the Michigan Association for Education and Rehabilitation for the Blind and Visually Impaired (MAER) Conference. In addition, AmeriCorps was featured in the April edition of The Monday Bulletin, which is the Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS) monthly newsletter. New VISTA Positions to Begin in September • The Inclusion AmeriCorps*VISTA position will help engage and support individuals with disabilities in national service. The VISTA will also support the MCSC's commitment to inclusion by helping equip and empower national service programs to make service a part of the lives of individuals with disabilities. • The Cross-stream AmeriCorps*VISTA position will enhance the ability ofthe MCSC to serve national service programs throughout the state. The cross-stream VISTA will focus on improving the communication, collaboration, and sustainability of national service programs in Michigan through the creation of a regional and statewide network. With more than 125 national service projects engaging 56,000 people of all ages and backgrounds, it is essential to build infrastructure and capacity to sustain and grow these efforts. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kellogg Foundation The Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce has met twice to discuss the best way to sustain Mentor Michigan beyond Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern. The group evaluated the sustainability strategies of five other Governor led mentoring initiatives as well as the successful features of state mentoring partnerships. Based on this information, the Taskforce makes the following recommendations: Lloyd Jackson WJRRadio Lori Jewell State Fann Insurance Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan University Kathleen Maisner Retired Public School Teacher Russell Mawby Chair Emeritus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Living Larry Williamson Comcast Cable I) Mentor Michigan should remain a program of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). The MCSC is a bi-partisan organization with the· broad mission to support and expand volunteerism. Having the host organization be bi-partisan was a key component of Connecticut's successful gubernatorial transition. 2) Mentor Michigan needs dedicated leadership within the MCSC. The MCSC Executive Director and Deputy Director have provided leadership to date. It is critical for Mentor Michigan to create and hire an executive director (possibly an interim director) given the needs of Mentor Michigan to raise funds and to position mentoring within the state. In addition, the Commission leadership will need to be focused on the implementation of the Serve America Act and the transition of the MCSC to a new administration and therefore will have diminished time to dedicate to Mentor Michigan. The Mentor Michigan executive director would be a loaned executive through the Michigan Nonprofit Association. We currently have funds in the Mentor Michigan account at the community foundation to support this position. We will be submitting a proposal to the Hudson Webber Foundation in August to support a portion of the �position for the next three years. In addition to the executive director position, the taskforce also recommends re-engaging the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council to provide support and leadership to the initiative. 3) Finally, Mentor Michigan needs to develop a strategic plan with broadbased input from key stakeholders. The Taskforce recommends hiring a consultant to lead the strategic planning process. The goal would be to have the plan finalized in time for the state mentoring conference on November 181h. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Meijer will donate $2 to Mentor Michigan for every $25 or more Meijer gift card purchased on Saturday, June 20, 2009 at any Michigan Meijer location. Not only will the money be donated to Mentor Michigan, but it will be granted out to mentoring programs across the state in the form of mini-grants later this year. The more you promote this opportunity to employees, family members, mentors, local businesses, and others, the more money Mentor Michigan and Meijer can raise to be available for mentoring programs in Michigan. New Team Member In July, Katy Timmer will be joining our Mentor Michigan team as an AmeriCorps*VISTA member. Katy is from Wyoming, Michigan and is a recent graduate of Michigan State University. Katy will be focused on expanding our network ofmentoring programs and promoting the Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. We are looking forward to having Katy join our Mentor Michigan team on July 20! OJJDP Grant Mentor Michigan has applied for the Strategic Enhancements to Mentoring Programs grant through OJJDP with the MSU Extension Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring programs in Muskegon and Ottawa counties. Through this grant, we will provide 100 youth involved in the juvenile justice system in Ottawa and Muskegon Counties with a long term mentoring relationship that engages mentors and mentored youth in structured, outdoor, active, skill building activities. Journey matches adult volunteer mentors with court-involved youth for a minimum of one year. The Outdoor Challenge component will offer matches the opportunity to go through a six-week Outdoor Challenge series to kick off their one year match, with clinics in orienteering, mountain biking, paddling, climbing, fishing, etc. On the seventh week the program culminates in a weekend campout. Monthly group activities will be planned throughout the year. Many volunteers are reluctant to mentor court-involved youth. This model will provide structured activities to reduce that anxiety. The Outdoor Challenge component will open doors to mentor recruitment through a variety of recreational groups. Mentor recruitment is challenging and this grant will provide us with an opportunity to implement a new and creative strategy. The hope is that men will be attracted to the mentoring program due to the outdoor component. Volunteers will share their passion for outdoor activities with a youth in need of a mentor. Mentor Michigan will monitor and support the pilot sites to replicate this model throughout the state. Federal Mentoring Funding Opportunities Several federal funding opportunities have been made available over the past few months for mentoring programs. RFPs included Mento ring Children of Prisons, Gang Prevention Youth Mentoring Program, Mentoring Initiative for Foster Care Youth, and Strategic Enhancements to Mentoring Programs. Mentor Michigan hosted six conference calls to help programs determine if there program is a good fit for the RFPs and to provide support and answer questions about the guidelines. Nearly 90 people participated in these calls. In addition, Mentor Michigan has provided ten letters of support for programs applying upon request. �Research in Action Webinars On June 4, Mentor Michigan hosted in first webinar on the Research in Action series with 8 participants. This innovative series was developed by MENTOR to translate the latest mentoring research into tangible strategies for mentoring practitioners. This series makes the best available research accessible and relevant to the mentoring field. Programs can ensure their practices are based on current research, resulting in improved services and better impacts for young people when they use the Research in Action series. The series features 10 issues with each one providing: Research - a peer-reviewed article, written by a leading scholar, summarizing the latest research available on the topic and its implications for the field; Action - tools, activities, templates, or resources created by MENTOR, with concrete suggestions on putting theory into practice; and Resources - a list of additional resources for further research. The entire Research in Action series may be downloaded at http://www.mentoring.org/access research/research in action/research in action series/ Mentor Michigan will be hosting monthly webinars on each issue in the Research in Action series. Men in Mentoring Toolkit & Webinar Recruiting male mentors is one of the biggest challenges programs report and in order for children to have stable mentors in their lives the methods for recruiting men must change. With Pace & Partners and Kahle Research Solutions, Mentor Michigan developed an online toolkit designed to provide program staff and their trained mentor recruiters with language and tips to use when making the ask. These materials take programs through the steps to recruit male mentors in a variety of settings and address the main components of a complete recruitment message. The toolkit is available for download at www.mentormichigan.org. As part of the launch of this toolkit, we hosted our first Mentor Michigan webinar on May 21 to take people through the toolkit. We had 15 people participate in the webinar. Professional Development Workshops Mentor Michigan and Michigan State University Extension are offering two professional development workshops, Matching, Monitoring, and Closing Mentor Matches and Interviewing Skills and Mentor Screening this spring and summer. Each workshop, which is offered at three locations, is designed to assist youth mentoring program staff and volunteer administrators in their efforts to meet the Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. The dates and locations include: Matching, Monitoring, and Closing Mentor Matches April 29, 2009 YouthVille Detroit- 19 participants April27, 2009 Ottawa County Fillmore Complex, West Olive- 15 participants May 29, 2009 Transfiguration Episcopal Church, Indian River- 17 participants Interviewing Skills and Mentor Screening July 30, 2009 Christian Life Center, Kalamazoo August 13, 2009 Mt.

Over 2400 youth and over 1800 mentors have been entered, and over 1100 matches are currently being tracked. This summer, Mentor Michigan will be doing concentrated outreach to programs who have access to MentorPRO but are not taking full advantage of it with an emphasis on outreach to school-based programs. This outreach will primarily be via webinar and will focus on giving mentoring program staff additional training on the more complex features that MentorPRO has to offer. Additionally, we will be developing web-based training modules, which will be comprised of PDF and Flash video tutorials.

We awarded web 2.0 social media grants to promote service-learning, support online learning communities to Ionia County Intermediate School District, Southgate Community School District and Lake Orion Community Schools. Ionia County lSD created an online portal for connecting Ionia/Montcalm County educators and community members around the issue of service-learning. Lake Orion created a system for training and networking their service-learning educators using Moodie. Since 2004, Southgate Community Schools High school Learn and Serve- Michigan students partnered with senior citizens with the goal of closing the technology gap for this age group. Cyber Citizens 2.0 will create a Facebook group, facilitate a blog about both senior citizens and student service-learning experiences and create a Wii bowling league. Service-Learning Youth Council On March 7, 2009, we hosted the 2009 Service-Learning Youth Council for a day of orientation and training. SL YC is composed of Learn and Serve Michigan students from across the state who work with the MCSC to advocate for service-learning in their school districts. The nine members shared their service experiences, increased their understanding of service-learning and developed modalities for promoting service-learning. The members spent the remainder of the school year and summer creating service-learning outreach strategies using conventional and social media. In addition to creating videos documenting service in their schools the MCSC Communication's staff also created a blog for them to highlight youth service. To see their perspectives on youth service and to share your thoughts, please visit: http://michiganslyc.blogspot.com/. Video projects will be launched during Learn and Serve Challenge week October 5-11, 2009. Learn and Serve- Michigan 2009-2010 Grant Outreach The MCSC issued competitive application guidelines for the 2009-2010 Learn and Serve- Michigan program on March 3, 2009. The staff conducted two face-to-face outreach session and one phone conference involving more than 50 individuals. The sessions included an introduction to service-learning, an overview of the application guidelines and tips for completing the application. We received applications from 25 school districts or public school academies by the April 30th deadline. The applications were reviewed through peer and staff reviews in May. The staff is recommending 20 ofthe applicants for funding for a total of$361,338.75. A three-day grantee orientation and training is planned for September 2009. Program Visits Since March, the Learn and Serve - Michigan staff visited ten Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee sites. The site visits ensure that programs are compliant and developing according to schedule. All Learn and Serve Michigan grantees are provided guidance on using our program sustainability rubric. The rubric is a roadmap for institutionalizing their programs beyond the grant. It emphasizes vision, quality programming, training, organizational capacity, teaching/learning and evaluation/accountability. It is evident that the majority of programs are using the rubric to guide their work. Several of our grantees who are in their final year of the program have aggressive growth plans in place and have identified local sources of funds to continue their work. This is a major achievement in budget challenged school districts. �Learn and Serve VISTA The MCSC will play host to a Learn and Serve VISTA beginning in July. The VISTA will concentrate her efforts on cultivating and supporting service-learning in high poverty areas in the state. The candidate, who will attend Pre Service Orientation in July, has extensive experience in Detroit Public Schools and will likely spend the majority of her efforts in Detroit. This VISTA allows us the additional support needed to more actively engage schools in high poverty areas. Northern Michigan Curriculum Connections Training On April 15, 2009 the MCSC hosted full-day training on connecting service to the curriculum in Gaylord, Michigan. The 41 participants were from Learn and Serve -Michigan programs and other area schools. Our presenter, Deb Wagner from Ionia lSD provided grantees instruction in the essentials of service-learning and then guided participants in establishing links between service and their classroom curriculum. Each participant received a year long subscription to Task Stream, an online curriculum development tool. This training assisted the MCSC in supporting educators who do not currently benefit from Learn and Serve - Michigan funds . The training was also helpful in providing high quality training for our fairly new programs in Northern Michigan. Coming Up On June 17-18, 2009 the MCSC will host a two-day symposium on program sustainability. Dr. Shelly Billig will work with 40 grantees on their short and long-term goals for service-learning programming in their districts. Planning for the September Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee meeting begins this summer. Approximately 40 individuals will attend this three day meeting that is designed to help programs have a strong start to the school year. Learn and Serve - Michigan is pleased to be sponsoring the second annual Service and Leadership Camp. The Super Servers: Taking on the Challenge ofService camp is coordinated by the LEAGUE Michigan and will be held July 24-261h at Central Michigan University. More than 100 students from across the state will attend this event that emphasizes youth leadership and advocacy for service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

State Farm Insurance Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan University Kathleen Maisner Retired Public School Teacher Russell Mawby Chair Emeritus W K. Kellogg Foundaffon Mr. Campbell presented the Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce Recommendations. The Taskforce has met twice to discuss the best way to sustain Mentor Michigan past the current administration. At the first meeting the Taskforce reviewed the history and accomplishments of Mentor Michigan along with evaluating the sustainability strategies of five other Governor led successful mentoring coalitions. At the second meeting they discussed how to move Mentor Michigan forward and what the next steps should be. Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Uving Larry Williamson Comcast Cable The Taskforce made the following recommendations (see attached memo from Tony Campbell dated May 12, 2009): 1. Mentor Michigan should remain a program of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). 2. Mentor Michigan needs dedicated leadership within the MCSC so it's critical to hire an Executive Director (or interim director) given the needs of Mentor Michigan to raise funds and to position mentoring in the state. The position would be a loaned executive and funded with private funds. �3. Mentor Michigan needs to develop a strategic plan with input for key stakeholders (Providers Council, Commissioners, etc.). The Taskforce recommends hiring a consultant to lead the strategic planning process. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the recommendations from the Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M.

Eastern Michigan University Graduate Student Christine Kwak WK. Kellogg Foundation Lloyd Jackson WJRRadio Lori Jewell The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Dan Mulhern, Donna Niester and Bernard Parker. Commissioner Lori Jewell, Chair of the MCSC Transition Committee, also participated. Staff present: Paula K. Van Dam and Janice Harvey. State Farm Insurance Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan Universffy Kathleen Maisner Retired Public School Teacher Transition Committee Update Ms. Jewell presented the MCSC Transition Committee recommendations. She shared that the committee is trying to stay true to the vision and values of the organization. The committee has identified key strategies to address short, mid and long term goals. Those include: Russell Mawby Chair Emeritus W K. Kellogg Foundation Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Uving Larry Williamson Comcast Cable 1. Repositioning the organization to align with the Serve America Act. The Transition Committee will be creating a working committee to develop a 3-year plan to grow and enhance service and volunteerism. This committee will include Commissioners, partners, and other key stakeholders. They will also identify a "nonchoir" member to facilitate the work of this committee. Per the Serve America Act, this plan will need to go to the Governor for approval. The guidelines are not expected to come out until fall but the MCSC would like to begin to develop the plan soon. The plan will be "Michigan's Plan" , not just the MCSC, and will be a shared plan with the CNCS-Michigan office and other partners. Chair Mulhern shared that it would be nice to have someone from the CNCS involved (maybe Julie Fisher Cummings) to help develop the plan and to advocate for Michigan. Volunteer �Generation Fund, a component of the Service America Act, can be used to support the implementation of the plan. 2. Changing the name of the MCSC. Paula Kaiser VanDam has had conversations with board members during one-on-one meetings to get their feedback on a name change for the organization. The name will play a key role in messaging and branding when moving forward. Executive Committee members suggested discussing this topic at the MCSC June 18 board meeting to see if there is concurrence to change the name. If there is concurrence, the Commissioners should give Paula Kaiser VanDam authority to move forward. Governor 's Service Awards Ms. VanDam shared that we have currently raised $122,500 coming in for the Governor's Service Awards with a possibility of$5,000 more. Executive Committee members were given the updated recommendations for the proceeds from the 2008 Governor' s Service Awards. Part of the proceeds were transferred to Mentor Michigan in November to use for mini-grants. It was suggested to survey mentoring organizations to see if they find the mini-grants helpful, useful, and effective. The recommendations will be presented to the full board at the June 18th board meeting. MCSC Chair Update Chair Mulhern updated Executive Committee members on the MCSC chair position. Vernice Davis Anthony has decided that she cannot serve as chair. The MCSC Succession Committee is seeking other candidates. The person will need to be nonpartisan. CNCS Summer Service Initiative Ms. VanDam explained that President Obama will be announcing a nationwide summer service initiative to get people involved in service. Those interested in volunteering, will be able to go to www.serve.gov to find opportunities in their communities. The MCSC will be promoting it throughout the summer and hope to emulate the national efforts (getting department heads involved). Commissioners suggested it would be a great way to get the President or First Lady to Michigan. Board Retreat The MCSC Board Retreat is scheduled to take place on September 9-10. It was discussed whether that date should be changed if there is not a new chair. Commissioner suggested moving forward with the date.

As Americans, we have a unique opportunity to come together and solve our nation's most vexing problems. In this spirit, President Obama is announcing a nationwide service initiative, the beginning of a sustained, collaborative, and focused effort to meet community needs and make service a way of Life for all Americans. Focus: The Economic Recovery United We Serve will empower Americans to participate in the economic recovery by: • Promoting clean energy, energy efficiency, and public land restoration. • Supporting education and literacy for all Americans. • Increasing health care access, public health awareness, and prevention. • Providing community renewal to areas hardest hit by the economic crisis. Purpose: A New Call to Service United We Serve will take traditional calls to service further by: • Putting volunteers on a path to sustained service. • Asking volunteers to step up and become volunteer organizers by identifying unmet needs in their community, developing their own service projects, and engaging others who are interested in the same issue area. • Providing easy-to-use tools for volunteers to develop their own service projects, set outcome-oriented goals, and track their community impact. • Developing creative partnerships with a broad and diverse group of stakeholders, including non profits, faith-based groups, issue groups, labor unions, educational institutions, businesses, corporations, foundations, and all levels of government. We aim to use the convening power of the federal government to promote and highlight new and existing setvice projects, encourage volunteers to stay involved in their communities over time, and empower people from all walks of life to take a leadership role. The Corporation for National and Community Service will be the key coordinating federal partner, working with the White House, federal agencies, and hundreds of nonprofit and community groups. The Corporation can be reached at Serviceinitiative@cns.gov. The Challenge: Help Needed, Capacity Stretched At a time when volunteers' help is most needed, the capacity of traditional setvice organizations to absorb volunteers has been stretched dun. To help meet growing social needs resulting from the econon'lic downturn, United We Serve aims to both engage new volunteers in expanding the impact of existing organizations and to encourage "do-it-yourself' projects. Timeline United We Serve- spanning 81 days, or just under 12 weeks- will officially kick off June 22 at the National Conference on Volunteering and Setvice. The White House will make a public announcement in early June, allowing adequate lead time for organizations to post opportunities and prepare to absorb new volunteers. United We Serve will culminate with a National Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11, 2009. The culmination will provide an opportunity to recognize the summer's accomplishments, honor those who died on September 11, 2001 by serving in their memory, and encourage Americans to make an ongoing comn'litment to service. • l'l Senior Corps ... 1 ,.

The 2009 AmeriCorps Week, which took place May 9-16, has been deemed the best AmeriCorps Week in history as thousands of individuals participated in events throughout the country.

AmeriCorps is commonly described as the domestic Peace Corps. Individuals, called members, commit to a specific term of service (usually one year) and are housed in nonprofit organizations, schools, or other agencies. Members range in age from 17 to 70+ years and represent a wide spectrum of other demographics. Upon successful completion of their service, members earn an education award to pay for college , graduate school , or to pay back qualified student loans. During their service, members may also be eligible to receive a modest living allowance , health insurance, childcare, and student loan deferment. More than 574 ,000 AmeriCorps members have helped recruit, train , and supervise community volunteers, tutor and mentor youth , build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, run after-school programs, respond to disasters, and build the capacity of fa ith-based and community organizations since 1994. Together with the federal initiatives Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America , AmeriCorps is meeting critical needs in communities and promoting civic participation . �Michigan's AmeriCorps Week Russ Mawby Signature Service Project Impacted City of Flint More than 250 Michigan's AmeriCorps members gathered together to help restore Flint's Grand Traverse neighborhood as part of the 2009 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project (SSP) .

Building on the success of AmeriCorps, the legislation will create new, effective "Corps" focused on areas of national need such as clean energy; education ; access to health care; financial and economic opportunities; and enhanced service opportunities for those over age 50. It will provide fund ing for an additional 175,000 Americans to give a year of service through these corps as part of a new national commitment to solve these challenges, expanding the number of national service participants to 250,000. Increase Opportunities to Serve by People of All Ages. • For Students, Increase Service Early in Life: Service early in life will encourage more and more youth to continue the path towards helping others through service. The legislation will improve of opportunities for young people in low income, high-need communities to take part in improving their own communities. • For Working Adults, Encourage Employers to Let Employees Serve, by establishing a tax incentive for employers who allow employees to take paid leave for full-time service. Themes • For Retirees, Value Their Skills and Make Service Work for Them. Many retiring citizens are ready , willing , and able to serve. Each has skills the public needs, as evidenced by those who currently serve through the Senior Corps Programs. This legislation builds upon the existing framework and enhances incentives for retirees to give a year of service through the new Corps. And , it will establish "Encore Fellowships" to help retirees transition to longerterm public service. • For Americans of All Ages, Increase Options for Volunteering. Americans are not always able to make a significant time commitment to service, but many volunteer in other ways. This legislation expands the volunteer pool by establishing a "Volunteer Generation Fund" to help nonprofit organizations recruit and manage more volunteers. Expand opportunities for people to serve at every stage of life. Use service to meet specific nati onal challenges. Put service to work to solve our most pressing challenges, s uch as: tackling the dropout crisis and strengthening our schools; improving energy efficiency, safeguarding the environment; improving health care in lowincome communities; expanding economic opportunities for low-income individuals; and preparing for and responding to Support Innovation in the Nonprofit Sector. disasters and emergencies. Social entrepreneurs who have launched innovative nonprofit organizations such as Teach for America and Citizen Schools in Boston are experimenting with new solutions to pressing problems. The legislation will recognize and support the role of effective social entrepreneurs in solving our national challenges: Improve and Expand International Service and America's Respect in the World. • Support for Short-Term International Service Opportunities, expand ing the Peace Corps so more Americans can provide critical assistance to people across the globe while promoting America's international standing . But many skilled Americans are unable to give two years. The legislation will strengthen the current "Volunteers for Prosperity" program , which coordinates and supports short-term international service opportunities for skilled professionals to serve in developing nations. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This program provides a much-needed link in the continuum of service opportunities for young adults. Those who were engaged in service-learning and community service while in the K-12 setting have the opportunity to give back to the community while developing as engaged citizens who will continue on in a life time of service. Due to the facilitation of the Michigan Campus Compact, large numbers of students may become involved as they attend compact member colleges and universities. This makes the program very cost effective. 225 or more MSS AmeriCorps members will serve at 100 community/faith-based partner organizations in fulfilling their mission to serve the community. In 2007-2008, members recruited 3462 volunteers who engaged in 7744 hours of service. In 2009-2010, 25 or more MSS AmeriCorps members will recruit 500 volunteers to serve 3,750 hours in schools and community/faith-based organizations. This ability to generate volunteers has remarkable implications for agency capacity across Michigan. This program is also on the forefront of service learning. A specific cadre of members is focused on developing and piloting service-learning lesson plans in the classroom. In order for servicelearning to take root and be sustained, it must be integrated in programming at the higher education level. The MSS program is successfully achieving this objective and can develop a model that is replicable for other states and institutions of higher education across the country. 150 MSS AmeriCorps members in the pre-service teacher education track will produce 150 K-12 service-learning units as measured by actual submissions of serv-ice-learning units. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The next MCSC Board Meeting will take place on Friday, February 27, from 12:00 to 4:00 pm, at the MCSC office, 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4, Lansing. Lunch will be available at 11:30 am. We will give program updates and further discuss the MCSC transition and Mentor Michigan sustainability plan. An agenda and background material will be sent out soon. Please let me know if you will be attending the meeting on February 27th. I have also attached a list of the 2009 MCSC meeting dates and special events. Please note that our June meeting was formerly scheduled for June 17th. Due to the new date and location of the Governor's Service Awards (they will now take place at the Governor's Lansing Residence on June 25th), we thought it more convenient for Commissioners to hold the Board Meeting that same day so that those of you who travel will only need to make one trip to Lansing that week.

Through partnerships with the Corporation for National and Community Service- Michigan Office, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE- Michigan, and Michigan Association of United Ways, Michigan registered 366 service projects in 2009. Many of the projects were of a collaborative nature with more than one organization involved in the planning . Here is a sampling of 2009 MLK Day projects: AmeriCorps Programs Partner for Fire Safety To reduce fires and fire-related injuries, AmeriCorps members from American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids and Camp Fire USA programs traveled to 11 different locations in the Greater Grand Rapids area and distributed 1,000 free smoke alarms , 652 coloring books, and 1 ,635 pieces of fire safety literature to interested community members. Members began their MLK Day of service at 6:00a.m. and followed up with a late afternoon reception at the Red Cross to celebrate the day's accomplishments and the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. AmeriCorps members offer community members free smoke alarms. Jackson Public Schools Embrace MLK Day Several school buildings in the Jackson Public Schools District completed their own projects in honor of the 2009 Martin Luther King Day.

Four focus areas were identified for the 2009 Michigan ' s VIG: mentoring, engaging baby boomers, engaging youth in service and dropout prevention. The following programs were awarded renewal funding: Legal Applicant Counties Served Washtenaw Focus Area Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Boomers, Mento ring_, Youth Service Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living/Washtenaw Youth Mentoring Coalition Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint Genesee Camp Fire USA West MI Council Communities In Schools Detroit Kent Wayne, Oakland Human Development Commission Boomers, Dropout Prevention Kalamazoo Communities in Schools Huron Sanilac Kalamazoo Michigan Nonprofit Association-Mentor Michigan Ingham Mento ring Oak Park Business and Education Alliance Oakland United Way ofNorthwest Michigan Volunteer Center Antrim, Benzie Leelanau, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Chippewa, Luce, Mackinac Berrien, Cass, Van Buren Wayne Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Boomers, Dropout Prevention United Way of Eastern Upper Peninsula Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan Volunteers in Prevention, Probation and Prisons, Inc. Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring Youth Service Mentoring Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Michigan's VIG requires grantees develop activities that both increase the number of volunteers mobilized in the focus areas and that they use innovative strategies to address current capacity issues. Examples of strategies to be employed in 2009 include: The Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan will support potential mentors in the time between when they complete the mentoring application process and the time they are actually matched. The delays in placing mentors can be discouraging for volunteers. The Volunteer Center will implement a training and support system to keep the potential mentors connected to the agencies while their background checks are completed. The Volunteer Center will also assist local mentoring agencies in strengthening their internal capacity according to the mentoring Quality Program Standards. These activities will increase the overall capacity of mentoring organizations in the three county regton. �Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council served more than 2,600 low-income youth during the 2007-08 program year. To increase their long-term capacity to serve youth, the program will continue to implement Operation SAGE: Seniors Active, Giving and Enriching. The program locates and recruits 55 years and older Camp Fire alumni as mentors and volunteers. Because of their existing connection to the program these alumni are viewed as means for increasing the number of volunteers available to meet long-term volunteer leadership roles. The Michigan ' s VIG allowed the initial search for program alumni. Grantees will be convened in March to discuss program requirements, share best practices and examine how Web 2.0 technologies can be used to support their long-term organizational capacity. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairn1an Dan Mulhern. He welcomed new Commissioner Michael Hill and Karen Betley. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval ofNovember 17, 2008 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 17, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from January 8, 2009 meeting. Chairman Mulhern shared that the committee approved AmeriCorps competitive funding. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the January 8, 2009 Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Niester moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report- Musette Michael A. Standards Review- Paula Kaiser VanDam shared that on July 27-31 there will be a team of 4-5 individuals representing the CNCS conducting a Standards Review. They have established eight standards that address Commission operations and oversight of sub-grantees. They will review policy and procedures related to these two items and there will be an overall assessment of how we conduct our business. We will either pass or, if we are not passing all of these standards, we will go through a remedial process to make sure that we are meeting these standards. The standards process has been in existence since 1999 and this will be the second time we have gone through it. The last time we passed with flying colors and many of the staff have gone through the process. They have simplified the process since the last time we went through it (last time there were 12 standards and now there are 8). They have worked hard to streamline the process and to identify what they think are the most critical pieces that need to be in place related to commissions. The standards help the Corporation establish expectations of state commissions and then hold commissions accountable to those expectations. We are working as a staff to prepare for it. We are also working with DHS staff to make sure they understand the expectations. Ms. Michael shared that the Corporation considers the MCSC to be highly functioning and the Commissioners are known to be connected and engaged so we are going into the standards review with a good reputation. B. 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action - Musette Michael explained that the updated Blueprint for Action is included with the goals that staff is expected to meet for the next two years. Staff presented a draft to Commissioners at the November meeting 2 �and have included Commissioner's comments and changes into this final version. Activities to accomplish the goals for each program area are also included. C. National Service Update, Advocacy, Public Relations 1. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Musette Michael shared there is a lot going on at the national level around national service. The President recently signed into law the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. State and national AmeriCorps programs received $89 million. The MCSC anticipates receiving $2.67 million to expand our 18 existing grantees. This is an estimated amount but could translate into 200 additional full-time members in Michigan. This does not include the VISTA slots that Evan Albert will receive. The money will be disbursed through the formula and competitive mechanisms. The Act states that the money can only go to existing grantees. Existing programs can partner with another nonprofit organization to provide additional opportunities. We are working with the Governor's office to ensure that the additional AmeriCorps funds support Michigan's recovery and reinvestment goals. There may be an opportunity for match waivers also. There will be accountability, performance and tracking requirements for the funds . Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC is waiting for the guidelines from the Corporation but has surveyed current programs to find out their interest and capacity for more members. Commissioner Collier asked whether we will be able to use the full funding the MCSC will receive. Ms. VanDam explained that without match waivers, it may be difficult but that the program staff is working with the programs to establish a plan so that all of the funds will be used. If the programs are not ready to accept or use this funding, the MCSC has other options available including working with the Governor's office on some other options for use of the funding. Commissioner Collier said that if there is a match requirement, we should make sure that doesn't stand in the way. The MCSC needs to figure out a way to access it because we only get this funding once and we don ' t want to lose the opportunity to take advantage of it. 2. Serve America Act- Ms. Michael explained that the Serve American Act anticipates expanding the number of AmeriCorps members from 75,000 to 250,000. As far as we know, Congressman Hoekstra is the only Michigan legislator that does not support the Act. 3. Federal Legislation Updates- Ms. Michael shared that the House inh·oduced the FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Act to provide funding for federal departments and programs. The House and Senate are expected to pass the Omnibus bill quickly as the continuing resolution expires on March 6. We will be meeting with federal legislators in April when they return to their districts for spring break and will be discussing legislation relating to national service. Commissioners will also be invited to participate in the legislative visits. There is also some discussion that reauthorization is moving quickly and may get connected to the Serve America Act. 4. CNCS Update- The CNCS has named a new Chair, Alan Solomont. He has been very supportive of service and has served on the CNCS board. The Corporation has not named a CEO as of yet. The President issued his initial FY10 budget summary and proposes $1 .13 billion for the Corporation, an increase of $261 million, to increase its capacity to manage its programs. 3 �D. AmeriCorps - Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard 1. Program Update -Marcy explained that the program staff is committed to providing training and support to the Program Directors and has held conference calls monthly and will be holding a 2 Yz day meeting with them in March for indepth training, planning, and strategy sessions. At the meeting they will focus on program standards (both Corporation and MCSC) and discussing plans for the economic stimulus funding. The AmeriCorps competitive grant was submitted in January and the MCSC will hear in May which programs will be funded competitively. The program staff met with the Member Council in January. Marcy highlighted the Member Council blog they have created. 2. AmeriCorps Week- AmeriCorps Week will be May 9-16 and this year emphasis will be on educating the public and making sure they know what AmeriCorps is. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are also planning various projects and events. 3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- This year's event will take place on May 15 and 16 in Flint and will be recognized as one of the signature closing events for AmeriCorps Week. Commissioners are urged to attend. Chairman Mulhern asked how we know about our effectiveness (standards are important so that we follow procedures). But the bigger question is how do we as a Commission know if we are serving AmeriCorps well and how do we know if AmeriCorps is really having an impact with our citizens and communities. Marcy explained that Megan Sargent surveys the grantees at the beginning of the program year to find out their technical assistance needs and we pay attention to that. We are also in constant communication with our grantees to know how they are doing, what they are doing, and what their needs are. As far as the programs and the members serving and how they are making an impact, all of our programs are required to do a progress report outlining what members are doing, and tracking their outcomes. Chairn1an Mulhern asked whether we are asking the "clients" how effective the AmeriCorps members are. Marcy stated that the programs conduct perforn1ance evaluations of the members and those are included in their progress reports. One of the sections of the progress report focuses on the impact. All of this information is then submitted to the Corporation. She also shared that on program site visits, they talk with executive directors, site supervisors, and members and get a subjective feeling of what is happening. Chairman Mulhern asked if AmeriCorps could present at a future meeting the effectiveness and impact AmeriCorps members are having. 4. Inclusion Update- Jeanine Yard gave an update on the Inclusion Committee and its members. Commissioner AI Swain also is a member of the committee. Several members attended the National Disability and Inclusion conference in the fall and then shared information from the conference with the committee during sh·ategic planning meetings in November and January. They have developed three goals to be more inclusive across the state. The first goal is to promote Michigan's national service program as an opportunity and a bridge to skill building, career development, and community inclusion. Some committee members will be attending the Michigan Transition Association Conference and will serve on a panel to share with counselors and transition coordinators in K -12 schools about how service can be a great transition oppOLiunity for those that are 4 �exiting school who may have some kind of disability (physical or learning). The second goal is partnerships that will develop ongoing state and local level relationships with stakeholders in the service and disability communities that promote the involvement of people with disabilities in volunteerism. The third goal is around policy and procedures by identifying and addressing local, state, and federal policies and practices that present barriers. The committee also has several presentations and exhibits scheduled in different communities. Also, each AmeriCorps Member Council representative is required to give one presentation to the disability community locally. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC receives a grant from the Corporation (this year it is $70,000) for inclusion that helps cover the costs of these trainings. The new AmeriCorps recruitment video was shown to Commissioners. The videos will be sent out to school counselors and resource coordinators, will be on the MCSC website, and shown during AmeriCorps week. The video will help to generate general awareness of AmeriCorps. We would like to connect with Campus Compact to distribute the video to campuses to help recruit members. Commissioners suggested having the video shown in the lobby ofDHS offices, school associations and charter schools, Secretary of State offices, and video-on-demand. E. Mentor Michigan - Amber Reiss 1. Program Update- Ben Gulker, a new AmeriCorps*VIST A member joined the MCSC staff in December. His focus areas will be men in mentoring, children of incarcerated parents, and youth in and aging out of foster care. He has great skills that he brings to Mentor Michigan with a faith-based background and is tech savy so he is a great resource with MentorPRO and our online directory. With Ben on staff, we've been able to increase our capacity with MentorPRO. He has been providing training and technical assistance with MentorPRO and outreach with other programs to get them on board with the system. There have also been some recent updates to our online directory. We had the opportunity to partner with MENTOR to merge the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. Programs are now registered in both online systems but only need to maintain one record. This program has enhanced features for both volunteers and programs. 2. Wave VI Census Results- Results were released in December. We had the highest participation rate ever but saw a decline in the number of mentors and youth served. The programs did show an increase in quality mentoring with more one-to-one matches compared to team mentoring and more programs are implementing the Quality Program Standards. 3. Mentoring Month- Elyse Walter shared highlights from Mentoring Month. There were 62 recruitment, recognition and/or celebration events this year that registered with Mentor Michigan and promoted on the Mentor Michigan website. We offered 38 Michigan Mentoring Month mini-grants that were distributed to some of these 62 events to help cover expenses for their events. Special promotions included the Lloyd Carr PSA that aired during each Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings game on Fox Sports Network- Detroit during January (the PSA aired nearly 100 times during the month) and also aired every hour for six days during the 2009 North American International Auto Show on two LED 5 �screens (PSA aired over 150 during the week) located outside of Cobo Hall. Governor Granholm also officially proclaimed the month of January as Michigan Mentoring Month and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern addressed mentoring in his weekly "Reading for Leading" e-newsletter. There were also several media hits throughout the month including an op-ed from Commissioner Joe Lubig in the Mining Journal. Ms. Michael announced that Amber Reiss has recently become a classified civil servant as the program officer for Mentor Michigan. This will provide stability for Mentor Michigan. F. Learn & Serve- Angelia Salas 1. Program Update - The 2009 Learn and Serve Outstanding Service-Learning Awards were presented earlier this month to outstanding candidates at The Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. Award categories included School Administrator, Innovative Program, Student Award, and Teacher/Practitioner Award. Commissioners Williamson and Alexander attended and helped present the awards. We were a sponsor of The Institute, a two-day event for K-12 and higher education representatives to gain professional development and training in service-learning. There were over 350 attendees this year. Learn and Serve - Michigan is working with RMC Research to conduct an evaluation of local Learn and Serve programs. Next year we will be working with other states who have agreed to use the same evaluation protocol and to look at whether service-learning in the classroom is high quality, meaning is it integrated into the curriculum and is it providing all the things outlined in the service-learning standards. Next year we will also evaluate school connectedness because we know that students that aren't connected to their schools, teachers, or communities tend to fall through the cracks. Last year we had more than 24,000 students involved in Learn and Serve programs, more than 1,000 teachers using Learn and Serve in their classrooms, and students provided more than 500,000 hours of service. Learn and Serve is using social media as a strategy. This year we received a small supplemental grant and have awarded three web 2.0 social media grants to look at how using this technology will help them engage more teachers, engage more students, and keep them connected in supporting one another. The Learn and Serve formula application has been submitted for funding for the next three years. We will be doing outreach and trying to reach high-poverty areas to make sure they have access to these funds . We are in the beginning of a three-year cycle which is an open competition, meaning all of our current grantees will have to reapply. We expect that most of them will be funded and are looking at funding approximately five new programs as well. Our competitive application will be due in April and our community-based application will be due also. 6 �G. Volunteer Investment Grants - Angelia Salas provided Commissioners with a current list ofVIG grantees who were awarded renewal funding. These grants look at the capacity of organizations to be better equipped to mobilize volunteers. The focus areas identified for the 2009 VIG were mentoring, engaging baby boomers, engaging youth in service, and dropout prevention. VIG grantees were required to develop activities that increased the number of volunteers in these focus areas and address current capacity issues. Grantees will meet in March to talk about program requirements, share best practices, and talk about social media techniques that can support their capacity. H. MLK Day Recap - Jeanine Yard shared that we had a very successful MLK Day of Service. This is the second year the MCSC has taken a leadership role in promoting MLK Day of Service. Through blast emails we were able to promote the different projects that were taking place and encourage organizations to register their projects. Last year there were 32 projects on the website and through partnerships with CNCSMichigan office, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE- Michigan, and Michigan Association ofUnited Ways, Michigan registered 366 service projects. The President promoting the MLK Day of Service helped to increase this number substantially. The goal for next year is to continue to maintain the momentum, if funds are available offer mini-grants to those organizations that would like to do something, and to promote the day as a premier day of service. V. I. Governor's Service Awards - Janice Harvey explained that the Commissioners have received an overview of the Governor 's Service Awards and the Sponsorship Opportunities and Benefits to use when making fundraising phone calls. A list of potential sponsors was included with follow-up information for Commissioners. The fundraising goal will be $100,000. The event will be held on June 25 1h at the Governor's Lansing Residence, which will be a smaller but nice event. We will be able to cut some of the expenses of the event by holding it at the Residence and therefore have the same proceeds to support programming. J. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves outlined the financial statement presented to Commissioners highlighting the expenses for the first quarter. He also shared that the Mentor Michigan proposal submitted last fall was not approved for the budget. The potential savings to the budget was not enough to offset the cost of the program. Ms. Michael shared that it was the right proposal but the wrong economy to request additional funding. New Business A. Transition Discussion 1. Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce- Paula VanDam shared that the Taskforce, chaired by Tony Campbell, met in January. Three Mentor Michigan Providers Council members also serve on this taskforce. Gail Manza, former CEO ofMENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, was invited to present. She explained that there have been six other states that launched statewide mentoring initiatives from their Governor's office. Of the six, only one has successfully sustained itself and the other five are no longer in existence. It shows the 7 �challenge we have ahead of us but it also made us more determined that we are on the success side. Gail shared what she thought the key components of why it was successful in the one particular state (Connecticut) and why it was not successful in the other five . Mentor Michigan will be developing a plan. The intent is to have the Taskforce present their recommendations at the June board meeting for Commissioners to vote on. The taskforce was in agreement that they want Mentor Michigan to stay within the Commission but they want some options of which it can be sustained based on resources and leadership changes. They are advocating for an Executive Director or Deputy Director that would provide the sort of leadership that is going to allow Mentor Michigan to continue to be the type of organization it needs to be. They also talked about a second leadership body to be clearly defined in terms of roles and responsibilities that would have Commissioner representatives and other key leaders across the state represented. Options will be presented to the Taskforce at a meeting on March 26, and then to the Board in June. 2. MCSC Transition Planning Committee - Lori Jewell presented a draft Organization Transition Plan to Commissioners. Key strategies necessary to move forward were identified. The first is to determine the components of an effective plan including sticking with our vision/values. This includes how we will tell our stories and the message we will use, who will be in the leadership position to help us execute that as we move forward, what will the MCSC structure look like during a transition, what resources (human, financial) will be needed to tell our story to make it a success as we move through the transition, and advocacy/awareness. The next key strategy is scenarios and being prepared for any leadership change situation. The third is assigning champions that can tell the story. The fourth is execution. There is not a timeline but that will be added to this section later. The last two strategies include monitoring/report progress and then wrap up/celebration. The Committee and key staff will help fill in the details of the plan. 3. MCSC Succession Planning Committee- Janet Lawson shared that the committee met via conference call and discussed succession planning, not with names, but what a plan would look like. The Executive Director position, which is a limited tenn appointment, was discussed. The role of the Commission is to support the Governor's selection for that position. Both the Executive Director and the Chairman should not transition off at the same time. There seems to be reasons to have the Executive Director transition off first. One of those reasons is for stability; the new Executive Director should work with the existing chair so that there is continuity to programming. Also, on a national level, there are significant things happening in Washington DC and there is an immediate need for Michigan to step up to the plate, to be present, to claim our money, and to have a consistency with ASC and CNCS. We don't want them to see too many changes going on in Michigan at the same time. We discussed the immediacy of the Executive Director change to happen first. The chair transition was also discussed. The Chair is nominated by the Commission and is approved by the full board. During the last transition , Russ Mawby stepped in as chair and led the organization well through the transition. Similarly we need a Chair to come from 8 �• our group, to be non-political, and who can lead us through the transition. Vernice Davis Anthony has recently been appointed to the board and has agreed to Chair the organization into the next administration. Vernice will be at our June meeting so Commissioners will have a chance to meet her. Commissioners will then vote in July. Conm1issioners asked for an opportunity to talk with her first before voting on Chair. Chair Mulhern and Commissioners thanked Musette Michael for her leadership role the past 2 years. VI. Public Comment Kyle Caldwell announced that the Day at the Capital event celebrating Giving & Volunteering will be on April 22. Awards will be given to leaders in the public sector who have supported service and volunteerism and the Nonprofit Caucus will be unveiled. The SuperConference is May 4-5 at Dearborn Hyatt.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 1:45 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. II. Review and Approval of September 21 , 2008 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 21, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Executive Director Report- Musette Michael A. Blueprint for Action 1. 2007-2008 Accomplishments- Paula VanDam explained that there are three key areas to the Blueprint for Action: providing vision, providing resources, and strengthening communities. The accomplishments for each of the initiatives were then identified in each of these areas. A document with an extensive list of accomplishments was given to Commissioners and Ms . VanDam gave a few highlights. Providing vision and leadership accomplishments included the role we played around ServiceNation with the Governor being the first Governor to sign on to the Leadership Council, the leadership we provided in the state to develop 55 Days of Action events, and the work to educate and inform about public policy. One Learn and Serve accomplishment was that Angelia Salas was invited to participate in a na~ional team of service-learning leaders from across the country who created the new K12 Service-Learning Standards for Quality Practice. The standards have been vetted and unveiled this past April. Michigan continues to be viewed as an expeti around service-learning. We've also been involved in advocacy by sending letters from Dan Mulhern to members of Congress advocating for particular issues or funding streams (reauthorization, appropriation levels, etc). Providing resources is primarily around our grantmaking function and includes not only AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve, but this past year we were able to provide mini-grants within Mentor Michigan to support recruitment and recognition events by mentoring organizations. In a meeting with the AmeriCorps organizational leaders, they shared that they receive a variety of funding from difference sources but do not get the level of support from those organizations that they receive from their ArneriCorps program officers. Strengthening communities focuses on the impact we are having around key critical areas including service-learning and mentoring initiatives for children with incarcerated parents as well as children in foster care or children aging out of foster care. AmeriCorps members served 702,000 hours and engaged 2,500 students in service learning. In Learn and Serve-Michigan, we engaged over 26,000 students who contributed over 500,000 hours of service-learning. 2 �2. 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action - Musette Michael shared the draft version of the 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action. It continues to have the three key focus areas of providing vision, providing resources, and strengthening communities. But we have updated some of the language. Once Commissioners approve the Blueprint for Action, staffwill provide the additional details as backup to the strategies. Commissioners were provided a copy of the Corporation's focus area showing that the MCSC is aligning its focus areas with the CNCS 's focus areas. Chairman Mulhern asked the Commissioners to break up into groups and each group would look at one of the focus areas to determine ifthey had any additions or changes. Each of the groups then reported outcomes from their discussions. Staff will incorporate their changes into the final document. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the Blueprint for Action with the changes discussed today. Commissioner Smith moved to support the motion; Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Governor Service Awards- Musette Michael discussed the financial summary from the 2008 Governor's Service Awards and highlighted the income and expenses and the net of $98,078. She thanked Commissioners for their help in fundraising. Staff recommends retaining the proceeds until the Board assesses needs related to the MCSC transition preparation. Also fundraising for the 2009 Governor's Service Awards could be challenging, and proceeds from 2008 may need to be available for expenses. Typically the Commission recommends keeping $10,000 in the GSA fund for start up expenses for the following year but it might be better to have a larger balance to begin with. Commissioner Lawson shared that she feels uncomfortable keeping the full amount of proceeds from GSA knowing that we need to increase the capacity of mentoring organizations and that the programs need the money. When Commissioners are fundraising for GSA, they represent that proceeds will benefit mentoring programs. But she also agrees that fundraising for 2009 GSA will be challenging. She suggested that we need to reassess our plans for 2009 GSA due to the economy. Commissioner Collier agreed that proceeds should go to Mentor Michigan due to the commitment to the funders that proceeds would benefit mentoring. It was also suggested that maybe we should look at doing local recognition events this year. Staff shared that we tried that one year and it didn't work well. Commissioner Lawson stated that at the breakfast last year funders did say they liked the large event but that due to the economy, they would probably feel differently now. Ms. VanDam shared that we surveyed past finalists, winners, and nominators and their response showed that they like the large recognition event and do not want to go back to a regional approach for recognition. Commissioners asked that $50,000 of the 2008 GSA proceeds go to Mentor Michigan as mini-grants to mentoring programs. The remaining funds will remain in GSA fund until further notice. Commissioner Collier made a motion to transfer $50,000 to Mentor Michigan fund. Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 3 �The GSA Committee will look at the 2009 GSA event to see how it can be more cost effective. Commissioner Lawson will send out a survey to Commissioners with location options. C. Mentor Michigan - Musette Michael gave an update on Mentor Michigan. We will be awarding $10,000 in mini-grants for Mentoring Month in January. With the additional GSA proceeds, we will be able to grant out additional dollars. Lloyd Can· also has agreed to attend some events in January for mentoring month. The MCSC is requesting state appropriations for Mentor Michigan. Kevin Reeves worked on a proposal for DHS for funding to build the infrastructure as well as money to give to mentoring programs. The proposal highlighted ways that DHS could save money with this appropriation to Mentor Michigan. Commissioners are encouraged to contact their legislators to share the impact this funding would have. Ms . Michael also announced that we were approved for a position to hire a Mentor Michigan Coordinator. We have been using private funding to support Amber Reiss ' position through an executive on loan agreement through MNA. Amber Reiss also shared that Mentor Michigan will have two new AmeriCorps*VISTAs starting soon. Chairman Mulhern shared information on a mentoring collaborative that is giving out awards to their local legislators and that we should try to get other collaboratives to do the same thing to bring more awareness to the legislators about mentoring. D. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves gave an update on the financial statement that was distributed to Commissioners. IV. Breakout Session and Report Out A. Report out from Commissioner Retreat - Chairman Mulhern explained that the committees established at the Commissioner Retreat to look at the transition of the MCSC to the next administration will now have an opportunity to meet to begin their discussions. They will report out afterwards. B. Report out from Committee meetings Commission I Board Development Committee - Carolyn Bloodworth shared that the committee looked at the board members whose terms will expire in the next year. The committee requests that the board change the 3 - three year term policy so that those that are term limited this year can be reappointed for one more term due to the transition . Their history with the last transition will be important to have during this transition. Succession Planning Committee - Janet Lawson shared that they had a good discussion but they are not ready to report out. Mentor Michigan Taskforce - Tony Campbell shared that the taskforce is going to ask some Provider Council members and funders to join. This taskforce will meet soon to establish the function of Mentor Michigan. At the first meeting, they will look at the history, national requirements, etc. to determine the function that we need to carry out. After this, they will look at how Mentor Michigan will continue whether to create a new nonprofit, leave Mentor Michigan where it is, an interagency 4 �agreement, or add to a nonprofit organization that already exists. We will list the pros and cons for each of the options, make a decision of what form it should take, and then develop an implementation plan to take to the entire Commission. Transition Planning Committee - Musette Michael shared that their committee talked about having some type of documentation (other than an Annual Report) to take to legislators and other key stakeholders and have a larger amount of information on the website. Commissioner Sowmick agreed to underwrite the cost of the printing of the document. She also shared that Lori Jewell and Kyle Caldwell have drafted a plan that the committee will review. A TASC manual exists that includes best practices of Commissions. VI.
