AmeriCorps is all about making a difference in the lives of others, but what I've come to realize is that one of the greatest gifts of serving in this organization is that our actions are reciprocated. I started my first term of service trying to change the lives of others, but found the people I've met along my journey have made a huge impact on me. For example, I FOLLOWERS believe because of the many opportunities I've been given to meet families from all over the city of Grand Rapids, my service has been made all the better for it. The knowledge and insight I get from each person I meet causes me to grow and Follow or S ···n ,., Followers (8) learn alongside the people I'm serving with and for. I continue to be amazed and inspired by the kids, co-workers, volunteers and AmeriCorps members I serve with everyday. How has AmeriCorps changed your life?

Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state join together for two days of training, teambuilding, and service. By the end of the second day, several projects are completed, visibly demonstrating the power of AmeriCorps members in action. This year's project is a partnership with the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Habitat for Humanity of Michigan, and the Genesee County Habitat fo~ Humanity. The 2009 Signature Service Project will take place in Flint on May 15 and 16, which coincides with AmeriCorps Week. AmeriCorps Week is a weeklong, nationwide event designed to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact, and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible. At this year's Signature Service Project, over 300 AmeriCorps members will come together to assist with building and landscaping projects in Flint's Grand Traverse neighborhood. Members will also help construct a playscape structure in Memorial Park. The MCSC builds a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism. Michigan 's AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. AmeriCorps programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called mentbers, tutor and mentor children, help the homeless, feed the hungry, protect the environment, and more. In an average year, AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 110,000 people and recruit approximately 26,000 volunteers. �- --r.. ... ... • "L • .....-; ..-. .· .. -: ~....·-1.... ..

We have so many things that Mentor Michigan could do or be, so we need to narrow down and identify the core functions of Mentor Michigan to support mentoring. Once the taskforce identifies those functions, they will have MCSC staff review them and come back with recommendations of structure. The second meeting of taskforce will look at staff structure recommendations and focus on strategizing the best way to bring to fruition sustainable. The recommendations will then be presented to the MCSC Board of Commissioners for approval. After approved by the MCSC Commissioners, those that are still willing to serve on the taskforce will look at the implementation of it (about one-year of commitment). History of Mentor Michigan - Paula VanDam and Bob Kahle Bob Kahle gave aa retrospective of the past four years based on the Mentor Michigan Census. The first Mentor Michigan Census took place in fall2004 and we just completed Wave VI in Fall2008. The census is an online survey ofmentoring programs in Michigan which gathers information on the number of kids served, number of mentors, demographics, quality program standards, etc. Key trends over the past four years include: 1. Growth- The increase in the number of active mentors from 9,100 in 2004 to more than 17,000 in 2008 and an increase in the number of kids served from 15,574 in 2004 to more than 22,000 in current wave. 1 �2. More awareness and focus on quality- Mentor Michigan published the Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. From these Standards, we see more systematic screening, significant improvements in background checks, more and better training of mentors pre-match, more post-match training of mentors, fewer short term matches, higher intensity of the matches (at least 1 hour a week), increase in the various forms of mentoring (e-mentoring, group, peer, etc) and a return to the one-to-one mentoring (80%). 3. More intentional focus on the type of children being served by mentors including children of incarcerated parents, kids in foster care, and kids with development or physical disabilities. With limited resources, programs are focusing on where it will have the most impact. 4. More data driven and less seat of the pants management- Programs are becoming much more evidence based. Wave VI had the highest response rate ever and cleanest data. Tools such as MentorPRO are helping with gathering the data. 5. Better collaboration- 13 active collaboratives in Michigan. More than 50% of the organizations report they are collaborating with other mentoring organizations for recruitment or social marketing. 6. Placement of AmeriCorps and VISTAs have made an incredible difference (60 members). Recent data show the growth of mentors comes from those organizations that have AmeriCorps or VISTA members. The field is moving from one that focuses on the feel good qualities of mentoring to one that focus on the impact of mentoring. Mentoring can be called an "Anti-incarceration" program. Longitude data shows that mentoring is an effective way to keep children from the Juvenile Justice System, increase high school graduation rates, delay or prevent the use of alcohol or drugs, and break the cycle of incarceration in families and lead to family reunification. MSU-Extension in partnership with Mentor Michigan, applied for a small FACT grant ($5,000) to set up a long-term evaluation on the impact of mentoring. It will take 3-5 years to get solid data on this type of outcome. Cost consequences of keeping kids out of the juvenile justice system will be a key factor in the evaluation. Tony Campbell asked if Mentor Michigan has been responsible for any of this outcome of growth from the Census? Bob Kahle stated that Mentor Michigan can take partial credit but could not take credit for trend #3 because it is more federal funding driven. Gail Manza said that Mentor Michigan could take some credit due to their advocacy efforts. Tony Campbell also asked if any of these trends would not have happened if it wasn't for Mentor Michigan? Ed Hagan responded that if you look at the trends, almost all of these trends were moving along previously. Mentoring dollars had a lot to do with the growth. We've been intentional in the kids we've served but the federal money helped with the specific kids (incarcerated parents). Mentor Michigan was important for establishing quality by setting the Quality Program Standards and setting the definition of mentoring. Mentor Michigan is also evaluating the data from mentoring programs then helping the programs to collaborate because they can't do it alone. 2 �Julie Chapin stated that because Mentor Michigan does the census, it has forced the programs to document what they are doing. It has given programs the opportunity to look at their data and policies to see how they can improve. Until programs see a way to use the data from the census publicly they won't complete the census. The census is an important public way to use the data. Ed Hagan stated that some people are going to say there are negative consequences to the quality because the total number served is down this year but the quality of the matches has improved (support, retention, quality). There needs to be a way to market that the numbers may not be growing, but the quality is. Increased quality may mean fewer kids served. National Expectations and Successful State Models- Gail Manza Gail Manza presented findings from MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership on successful mentoring partnerships and their transitions through new Governor administrations. There are 25 mentoring partnerships across the country. MENTOR had established key result areas for State Partnerships and they include: o Mentor recruitment and referral o Public awareness o Training and technical assistance o Advocacy and public policy o Data collection and reporting Features of a successful mentoring partnership include: o A mentoring champion to serve as chair/co-chairs o Committed Board of Directors or Leadership Council o Executive Director and competent staff o Providers Council o Strategic plan, including a realistic budget for revenue and expenses Ofthe state mentoring partnerships that negotiated a Gubernatorial transition, only one state did so successfully (Connecticut). States that did not succeed include New York, California, and Colorado. Florida is still working through a transition and is questionable in their success. Connecticut was successful because of: 1. Preparation and planning 2. Personalization both pre and post-election 3. Bi-partisan nature of host organization 4. Legislator support MENTOR will be supportive of the front lines (programs and partnerships) and encourages quality over quantity. They have found that the leadership level is what makes a difference in a successful partnership (whether 501c3, state commission, separate organization). Strong bipartisan support is key. 3 �A successful partnerships needs a committed board or leadership council. We should consider having a separate board or leadership council for Mentor Michigan. Leadership council should have representatives from provider council. Ginna Holmes shared that it is hard to define what the Providers Council does, what their role is, where they fit into the bigger picture of the organization and board. Their primary connection has been through staff. A Leadership Council could have Commissioners, Providers Council members, and other leaders that would champion mentoring. Providers Council should elect a chair that sits on Leadership Council. A Leadership Council is another key component to a successful transition. Prioritizing the Work (Small Group Activity) The attendees were split into two groups to discuss the function of Mentor Michigan and the strategy for taking it forward . Group One: • Awareness/Advocacy for the need for quality youth mentoring (not a nice to have but a need to have). • Establishment of education around what quality youth mentoring is o Program providers o Funders o Decision-makers (legislators) o Public • Build Awareness Group Two: • Resource collector, analyze and distribution o Funding o AmeriCorps o Advocacy I Legislature o Public Speaking • Resource and Evaluation o Data o Quality Standards • Technical Assistance and Training o Quality implementation Report out of work sessions: 1. Public Awareness 2. Standards I developing quality standards 3. Empower some group to be the advocate (Leadership Council?) What strategy is needed to transition Mentor Michigan through new administration? 4 �1. Development of Leadership Council a. Leadership Council to include members from MCSC, Providers Council and other advocates 2. Bi-partisan or non-partisan Co-Chairs 3. Need separate Executive Director for Mentor Michigan (different from current structure) and addition staff (5 staff members) 4. Need to begin to build Leadership Council immediately to begin to be the advocate (clearly define the role) 5. What can we do with quality with what we have? 6. Providers Council a. Clarify their role (advisory role) b. Include on Leadership Council c. Role for each group (MCSC, Leadership Council, Providers Council) 7. Need a strategic plan for Leadership Council Next Steps- Tony Campbell It was agreed by the Task Force that Mentor Michigan will remain in the MCSC and the focus will be how to sustain it within that framework. The plan should be implemented in the next two years. The MCSC staff were directed to take the information presented today and develop a strategy for the sustainability. The strategy should include ideas of how this group can be helpful in implementing the plan. Another meeting will be scheduled to discuss the staff's recommendations. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ben is from Holland, Michigan and attended Spring Arbor University and the Princeton Theological Seminary. Ben is focused on men in mentoring, children of incarcerated parents, and youth in and aging out of foster care. Ben is also providing support to programs using MentorPRO and has been assisting in the merger of the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. We are thrilled to have him on our Mentor Michigan team! MentorPRO Update With the addition of Ben Gulker, our AmeriCorps*VISTA member, MentorPRO has been gaining momentum. In January, Ben visited 12 sites to provide training and technical assistance on MentorPRO. There are currently 18 programs in Michigan using MentorPRO. We are working on marketing MentorPRO to additional programs. New Mentoring Directory Mentor Michigan has partnered with MENTOR to merge the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. As a result, programs are now listed in both online directories. This system has enhanced features for volunteers and programs. Volunteers can utilize this directory to search by zip code for mentoring programs in their area and request information through the directory. Programs are now listed in both online directories and only need to maintain one record. With this enhanced database, programs will increase visibility among potential volunteers. To check out this new system, visit www.mentormichigan.org and click on the "Mentor Michigan Directory." Wave VI Census Results The Wave VI Mentor Michigan Census results were released in December 2008. This wave of the Census had the highest response Mentor Michi:gan Census rate ever with 143 mentoring organizations reporting.

The awards recognize a school administrator, an innovative program, a student and a teacher/practitioner. The following people and programs were recognized at the awards dinner School Administrator: Dave Reschke, Deputy Superintendant of the Clarkston Community School District Innovative Program: The Talk to Us Program- Jennifer Martin of Tinkham Alternative High School Student Award: Gordie Stene of Belding High School Teacher/Practitioner Award: Denise Sargent, L'Anse Creuse High School science teacher L-R: Jennife r Martin, Denise Sargent, Gordie Stene, Dave Reschke Press releases were sent to each recipient's local media outlets. Commissioners Williamson and Alexander were present at the awards ceremony to help us present the awards. Program Evaluation The Learn and Serve program has contracted with RMC Research, Inc. to conduct an evaluation of local Learn and Serve- Michigan programs. RMC Research has conducted statewide evaluations of LSMI grantees since 2001. The 2008-2009 evaluation will assess: The quality of service-learning programming in local districts and which of the program characteristics are most important for predicting student outcomes. Impacts on academic achievement, civic outcomes and employability skills. Impacts on participating communities and partnering organizations. Our 2006-2007 results indicate that programming is implemented with high quality and is associated with positive effects on academic and civic engagement and students' career skills. Social Media Efforts The MSCS secured supplemental Learn and Serve funding to support social media efforts within Learn and Serve and the other MCSC programs. We awarded three web 2.0 social media grants to promote servicelearning, support online learning communities and to support professional development in local school districts. Montcalm Area Intermediate School District, Southgate Community School District and Lake Orion Community Schools were awarded the mini grants that run January 31, 2009 through August 31, 2009. This spring we will be hiring a part-time social media intern to coordinate other technologies that can help the MCSC spread the epidemic of service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These volunteers demonstrate the power of giving and caring every day, and the Governor's Service Awards are one small way we can thank them for their commitment. Although volunteers don't expect accolades, we know volunteer recognition leads to volunteer retention. Over the years, the Governor's Service Awards celebration has grown from 175 attendees to more than 1,000 in recent years. It has also had many faces-from a sit down dinner, to community-based celebrations, to the theatre-style gala of recent years. This year's celebration will be a more intimate event with finalists, nominators, and sponsors enjoying a private reception and ceremony at the Governor's Residence in Lansing. Governor's Service Awards are given in eight categories that highlight the diversity of volunteerism throughout Michigan. Three additional awards are presented at the event-the Carter Partnership Award is presented by Michigan Campus Compact and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy and the Community Foundation Award for Philanthropy are presented by the Council of Michigan Foundations. Who Benefits from the Governor's Service Awards? ~TOvemor's A~; Awards In addition to the award winners and finalists, communities throughout Michigan benefit from the proceeds of the Governor's Service Awards. Volunteers are essential ingredients to the health and vitality of our communities and act as critical problem-solving resources. This event elevates the visibility of volunteers and their selfless service. Here are some examples of the innovative programs of the Michigan Community Service Commission and the volunteer community at large that benefit from the proceeds of the Governor's Service Awards: • Michigan National Guard partnership with Mentor Michigan recruits civilian soldiers to serve as mentors. • Faith-based mentor recruitment campaign to engage members as mentors. • Urban service-learning mini-grants to help urban school districts integrate service-learning into their curriculum. • Urban service-learning Conference scholarships. • Development of AmeriCorps Alumni chapters throughout Michigan to help former members make service a way of life. • AmeriCorps Week mini-grants for community-wide service projects and activities demonstrating the impact of AmeriCorps programs. • Male Mentor Recruitment Challenge to help decrease the number of boys on mentoring program waiting lists. �~ovemor's st\i~eAwards 2009 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND BENEFITS PLATINUM SPONSOR $20,000 - one sponsorship available Ford Motor Company Fund is the 2009 Platinum Sponsor Branding and Name Recognition Opportunities • Organization can display product in circle drive of Governor's Residence, which will be viewed by all event attendees • Organization identified as the Platinum Sponsor and given first billing in statewide news releases. • Organization identified as the Platinum Sponsor and given first billing on the event web page. • Organization identified as the Platinum Sponsor and given first billing in the event program. • Organization identified as a Platinum Sponsor in the event presentation. • Organization signage can be displayed at the event.

Staff present: Musette Michael, Paula VanDam, and Janice Harvey. Janet Lawson also joined the call to give an update from the Governor's Service A wards Committee. 2009 Governor's Service Awards Musette Michael gave a summary of the decision to move GSA to a different location to recognize these challenging economic times. Janet Lawson gave an overview of the Commissioner survey results regarding the location. Janet Lawson, Janice Harvey and Kathie Vasilion visited the locations in the Dearborn area. The Governor' s Service Awards Committee recommended the event be held at the Henry Ford Museum. This would provide a nice, reasonably price, but different type of event. Unfortunately, the Henry Ford Museum was not available on May 5th. This date is also the date of the Detroit Mayor special election. Executive Committee members recommended that the 2009 Governor' s Service Awards be held at the Governor's Residence to reduce costs. Since having it at the Residence calls for it to be an outside event, it should take place in June. Holding the event at the Residence will make it a special experience for the finalists and winners yet still be more economical. �Michigan 's AmeriCorps Competitive Funding (See Memo from Paula VanDam dated January 6, 2009) Paula VanDam explained that the MCSC held outreach sessions in Detroit, Lansing and Kalamazoo and also a webinar. The staff reviewed 17 new and recompete applications and 4 continuation applications. Staff is recommending 4 recomplete, 1 new application and all continuations be submitted to the CNCS for consideration. The MCSC staff recommends the following applicants be included in the MCSC' s competitive application to the CNCS for a total of$1,330,005: American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids The Regents of University of Michigan Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness Habitat for Humanity of Michigan Ingham County Health Department $420,297 $ 327,659 $ 259,134 $ 188,496 $ 134,419 The MCSC staff recommends continuation funding at the recommended amount for the following applicants for a total of $1,561,239: City Year Detroit $ 665,217 Jumpstart Michigan $ 132,014 MSU Extension $764,008 The MCSC staff recommends continuation funding for the following Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Education Award Only application for a total of $48,000 Michigan Nonprofit Association/ $ 48,000 Michigan Campus Compact Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Competitive Funding and Education Award Only applications. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern expressed the importance of AmeriCorps being included in the economic stimulus package. The cost for AmeriCorps is very economical, helps to support families, and allows members to obtain higher education. He asked whether the Michigan's AmeriCorps programs have the capacity for growth and will they have the ability to deploy once the stimulus package passes. Ms. VanDam explained that some organizations are ready to take on new members. There are also a number of organizations that are interested but cannot meet the match requirements. The CNCS is looking at ways to address this issue (waiving/reducing match). The MCSC has a minimum requirement of 10 members and may need to look at this and strategically think about a smaller number to pilot. Adjourn 11 :00 am �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M.

Each state is allowed to submit AmeriCorps applications to be funded out of the competitive dollars. There is no guarantee that states will receive any of the competitive dollars. Our AmeriCorps competitive package is due to CNCS on January 13, 2009. We will be notified in May, 2009 whether any of our programs will be funded with the competitive dollars. Once we know how many programs will be funded competitively, we will then decide which programs to support with our formula dollars. Those funding recommendations will be presented to the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) in June. The MCSC held an extensive outreach process with three face to face outreach sessions (Detroit, Lansing, and Kalamazoo) and a webinar. The staff reviewed 17 new and recompete applications and four continuation applications and are recommending that 4 recompete, 1 new, and all continuations be included in the MCSC competitive application submission to the Corporation for National and Community Service.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, February 04, 2009 CONTACT: Sandy Scott Phone: 202-606-6724 Email: ss cott@cn s.gov Boston Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Alan Solomont Named Chair of National Service Agency (Washington DC)- The Board of the Corporation for National and Community Service Tuesday elected Alan D. Solomont, as its chairman . . The Corporation is the nation's largest grant maker for volunteering and service, engaging more than four million Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service each year through its Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, VISTA, NCCC, and Learn and Serve America programs. The agency provides vital support for America's voluntary and nonprofit sector through grants, volunteers, training, research , and other support. Solomont, a resident of Weston, Mass., is a longtime veteran of the bipartisan board, first appointed first by President Clinton in 2000 and reappointed by President Bush in 2007. The 15-member board, whose members are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, sets overall policy and direction for the agency and its programs and provides guidance to the agency's CEO, who has not yet been nominated by the President. "President Obama has called for a new era of service and responsibility, and Americans are ready to answer that call ," said Solomont. "At this time of economic distress, we need more Americans to reach out and help. President Obama has a bold vision for service, and I am honored to chair this outstanding board as we work to usher in a new era of service in America ." Solomont's election as board chair was announced by outgoing chair Stephen Goldsmith at the board 's winter meeting this morning in Washington D.C. Goldsmith, who oversaw an expansion of programs and strengthening of management during his eight-year tenure, will continue to serve on the board through 2010, highlighting a key feature of the volunteer panel's success- its makeup of leaders from diverse backgrounds who work across party lines to advance the agency and the service movement. "From 9-11 to Katrina to the everyday disasters of poverty and illiteracy, Americans have always demonstrated an incredible sense of compassion and caring ," said Goldsmith. "With our current economic crisis driving up social needs at the same time nonprofits are facing cutbacks, we need service and volunteering more than ever. " Goldsmith noted Solomont's long history in the service sector and leadership on key board initiatives over the past eight yea rs. "Alan is the perfect chair for this moment. He brings the instincts of an entrepreneur, the passion of an organizer, the heart of a philanthropist, and the rolodex of an activist. The board is thrilled to have such a strong leader at this moment of unprecedented need and opportunity for national service." In his Inaugural Address, President Obama saluted the American spirit of service and called for a new era of personal responsibility. He has said service will be a central cause of his presidency, and his service and innovation agenda includes expanding AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 slots, engaging more retiring Americans, expanding service-learning in our nation's schools, and seeding innovation and strengthening the capacity of the nonprofit sector. President Obama has not yet nominated a CEO for agency. Bipartisan legislation to expand national service has been introduced in Congress, and the House stimulus bill conta ins funding to expand AmeriCorps by 16,000 slots. Throughout his career, Solomont has played a key role in promoting innovation and quality in the delivery of services to an aging population . After the sale of the A•D•S Group, an eldercare company he founded and led for 15 years, he formed SolomontBailis Ventures to launch new and innovative health and eldercare ventures. Active for many years in the Democratic Party, Mr. Solomont has served in several capacities, including National Finance Chair of 02/24/2009 �Printable Page Page 2 of3 the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He has also worked on many state and national political campaigns , including the presidential campaigns of Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, AI Gore, John Kerry , and Barack Obama . In addition to his business and political pursuits, Mr. Solomont is active as a volunteer and contributor to many community institutions and charitable organizations. He is Vice Chairman of Boston Medical Center where he co-chaired the capital campaign to build a new cancer treatment center, and he is the immediate past Chairman of the Board of Hebrew Senior Life. He is also a past Chairman of Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston and he is currently a member of the Boards of the JFK Presidential Library, Cradles to Crayons, New Israel Fund, and the Jewish Funds for Justice. Solomont is a Trustee of his alma mater, Tufts University, where he serves on the Board of the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service and co-chairs the Tufts Capital Campaign, "Beyond Boundaries." Solomont teaches a political science course at Tufts on the American Presidency. In other action, the Board formally swore in board member Hyepin lm, for a term lasting through October 2013. lm is currently the Founder and President of Korean Churches for Community Development (KCCD), a faith-based non-profit whose mission is to build the capacity of churches to increase the scale of their economic development work. Under 1m's leadership, KCCD sponsors annual national conferences, administers a $5 million Youth Workforce Development grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, and sponsors initiatives for small business development, marriage and family strengthening, healthcare, homeownership, and research in the Korean community. More information on 1m's appointment is at [link to separate press release on 1m's swearing in]. The board said farewell to departing vice-chairman Vince Juaristi, who has served on the Board since May of 2006. Juaristi, who is Executive Vice President at Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP), a global information technology solutions provider, provided outstanding leadership to the Corporation in a number of areas, particularly in implementing improvements in the agency's technology systems and supporting its work in disaster preparedness and response. The board also heard testimony from national service leaders about the impact of the economic downturn on national service grantees and the communities and individuals they serve. Representatives from the Association of State Service Commissions, Voices for National Service, and the State Education Agency K-12 Service Learning Network (SEANet) described how the economic downturn has increased the demand for social services at the same time that non profits and agencies that can help meet the increasing demand are facing cutbacks in funding . The board passed a resolution acknowledging this challenge and directing the CEO to continue assessing the impact of the downturn on grantees, to act expeditiously on requests for administrative relief, to explore creative ways to help program meet community needs, and to report back to the board about the Corporation's action in light of the economic downturn. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression . And , it helps modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need . The Recovery Act includes $201 million in funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to support an expansion of AmeriCorps State and National and AmeriCorps VISTA programs. This investment, which is listed below, is a strong vote of confidence in the value of national service in engaging citizens in addressing unmet needs and strengthening communities: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act- Funding Allocations • $89 Million for AmeriCorps State and National (up to 20% of the funding may be used for national direct grants) • $65 million for AmeriCorps VISTA • $40 million for the National Service Trust • $6 million for technology upgrades • $1 million for the Inspector General The MCSC anticipates receiving $2 .67 million to expand our 18 existing grantees. This amount translates into roughly 200 full-time members. In addition, the grantees may request a match waiver or match replacement funds to help reduce the local financial burden . The funds will be available to us through both the competitive and formula mechanisms. CNCS is considering establishing funding priority areas including : weatherization, access to health care, increased capacity of nonprofits, and youth corps. We are waiting on additional guidance from CNCS. We have been working with the Governor's planning team to ensure that the additional AmeriCorps funds support Michigan's recovery and reinvestment goals. �MI Recovery & Reinvestment Pl an Page 1 of 1 www.michigan .gov (To Pri nt: use your browser's print function) What 's New • Der:>artmeot of Natu[al Resou rces submits Michiga n's first ARBA grant appl icat ion 2.19.2009 • Granholm signs agreeme ot to increase unemployment $25 per wee k for Mich igan c i t iz~os 2.19 .20 09 • Gran holm wii_La c;;_c ~pt 2.17.2009 s~n_d ~ l ~t~cs to Pre_!:>id_eot Obama , OMB Director Orszag certify ing that fY1ichl gan fe_Qe ral fld.nds Welcome to Michigan 's onl ine source for information on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)- our nation 's aggressive new economic recovery plan designed to jumpstart our econom y, create jobs , and help Americans struggling to provide for the ir fam ilies.

Many are run by organizations you may have heard of, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, City Year, and American Red Cross. Others are run by smaller, local organizations , such as community centers, local governments, and faith-based organizations . Where do AmeriCorps members serve? AmeriCorps members serve throughout the country, and they have a variety of skills and interests. Some people stay in their own community or work nearby. Other people choose to relocate and work in a community across the country. What training do AmeriCorps members receive? Each program provides training to help members do the best job possible. For example, a member in an education project may receive training on how to teach or be a tutor. Another member who is recruiting volunteers to restore low-income houses will be trained in public speaking or volunteer outreach . What are the requirements? Applicants to AmeriCorps must be at least 17 years old, but each program sets its own requirements and age limits depending on need and structure. Some programs are looking for people with college degrees, and others accept people who are finishing high school. There is no upper age limit for most programs. All members must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents . What are the benefits? Members of AmeriCorps programs get the chance to try new things, learn new skills, and gain valuable experience. Many programs offer health insurance during the service term and may provide housing, transportation, and other benefits. Some projects offer part-time positions for those attending school, working at a job, or caring for a family. How can people apply? Visit the AmeriCorps website (www.americorps .gov) to learn more and apply directly to specific programs. State commissions on community service also have information about most programs. The full text includes answers to common questions about AmeriCorps*VISTA and AmeriCorps*NCCC as well as testimonials from AmeriCorps alumni. When talking to others about AmeriCorps, remember: Do o o o o o o Don't o o o Tell your fam ily and friends about your experiences. Contact your high school or college and offer to talk to a class. Keep up with AmeriCorps by reading information from your project and visiting the website. Send a letter to the editor of your local paper. Encourage others to join in the effort to improve your community and the country. Get to know other AmeriCorps members in your community and learn their stories. Continue to talk about your experience after you finish service . People want to hear about your experiences. Make up answers . If someone asks you a question and you are not sure of the answer, it's okay to say, "I'm not sure. But you can look on the website or call the 800 number and find out from them ." Or get their contact information. Make promises. Don't ever say someone will definitely get in. You can encourage them and say they have a good chance, but make no guarantees. Assume other programs are like yours . Don't make generalizations about other programs unless you are sure of the answer. For more information or to get materials, visit www.americorps .gov or contact the AmeriCorps Hotline at 1800-942-2677. �ELEVATOR SPEECH An elevator speech is a brief overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The pitch is so called because it can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (say,30 seconds). The term is typically used in the context of an entrepreneur pitching an idea to a venture capitalist to receive funding. Venture capitalists often judge the quality of an idea and team on the basis of the quality of its elevator pitch, and will ask entrepreneurs for the elevator pitch so to quickly weed out bad ideas. AmeriCorps Elevator Speech (4 Floor Condensed Version) AmeriCorps engages 70,000 Americans age 17 and older each year in intensive service to meet community needs in education, the environment, public safety, homeland security, and other areas. Members serve with national nonprofit organizations like Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross, and Teach for America, as well as with hundreds of smaller community organizations, both secular and faith-based. Other members serve with AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a team-based residential program for adults ages 18 to 24, or in low-income communities with AmeriCorps*VISTA. In exchange for a year of service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. AmeriCorps Elevator Speech (14 Floor Extended Version) AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and national service programs that connects more than 70,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet our country's critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment. AmeriCorps members serve with more than 2,000 nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based and community organizations. Since 1994, more than 400,000 men and women have provided needed assistance to millions of Americans across the nation through their AmeriCorps service. AmeriCorps opens the door for citizens to serve in a variety of ways. Through their service and the volunteers they mobilize, AmeriCorps members address critical needs in communities throughout America, including: • • • • • • • • • Tutoring and mentoring disadvantaged youth Fighting illiteracy Improving health services Building affordable housing Teaching computer skills Cleaning parks and streams Managing or operating after-school programs Helping communities respond to disasters Building organizational capacity Full-time members who complete their service earn an Education Award of $4,725 to pay for college, graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. Members who serve part-time receive a partial Award. Some AmeriCorps members may also receive a modest living allowance during their term of service. AmeriCorps is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent federal agency created to connect Americans of all ages and backgrounds with opportunities to give back to their communities and their nation. The Corporation also oversees Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America. Together these programs engage more than 1.5 million Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service each year. AmeriCorps is made up of three programs: AmeriCorps*State and National, AmeriCorps*VISTA, and AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairn1an 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 - Chairn1an 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 infonn about public policy. One Learn and Serve accomplishment was that Angelia Salas was invited to participate in a national 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 recmitment 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 AmeriCorps 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-leaming. 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, staff will 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. Chai1man Mulhern asked the Commissioners to break up into groups and each group would look at one of the focus areas to detern1ine if they 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 stat1 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 men to ring 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 Carr 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 oppmiunity 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 tern1 policy so that those that are tern1 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 bow 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 conm1ittee 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 infotmation on the website. Conm1issioner 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 T ASC manual exists that includes best practices of Commissions. VI.
