I ·...... • What I Have Learned Through AmeriCorps by Robyn E. Hall, AmeriCorps Oakland AmeriCorps is amazing and an experience that everyone should have. The impact that it has on children is incredible. While they may not always remember my name, they know that I am there to help. The trust and confidence they have in me is overwhelming. They believe in me, and as a result, I have learned to believe in me, as well. I have learned that all things are possible, and that I can accomplish whatever I set out to achieve. Children seem to have a way about them that can brighten my day and remind me that one bad day isn't the end of the world. ~. ·: ~ w.~ · :- .:: .. r .· ...... ~ • ,. ·1-. .. ... ~.{•;·::.~~ :-;~J~ ~~l~ . · ~~ ::-=. trt t;.: .. :·;/lolj':•· ¥.:.:il~·· . iM~t-:.~ ~ ~~~r~ ~~f . ·~:f ~ ~':\: - .- I have learned to be patient and listen, To care, to love and to laugh. .. .. ~ 'I I have learned that I can make a difference, One child at a time, I can change their world.

Governor Jennifer M. Granholm appointed Mulhern to the commission this week. During remarks at the MCSC's Governor's Service Award luncheon, Mulhern announced that he would direct the commission to put a new focus on volunteer programs that mentor children . The commission will serve as the home to Mentor Michigan, a mentoring initiative begun by Governor Granholm, former First Lady Michelle Engler, and former Detroit Piston lsiah Thomas in 1999 in partnership with the Prosecuting Attorney's Association of Michigan (PAAM.) "As chair, I will direct the commission and its staff to help us strengthen and improve mentoring programs for children under the auspices of Mentor Michigan ," Mulhern said . "We recognize that state government cannot do it all, and that is why we will reinvigorate Mentor Michigan as a massive volunteer effort that will create opportunities for all of us to be citizen patriots helping children succeed ." 'The commission will provide the infrastructure to act as an information clearinghouse for mentoring , recruit volunteers, and work with mentoring programs in every county in Michigan ," Mulhern added . As First Gentleman , one of Mulhern's main priorities will be to promote mentoring and volunteer service in Michigan . "Mentoring gives a child a safe place, a great start, and a healthier outlook," Mulhern said . "Mentoring rewards both the child and the adult who serves as a mentor. As MCSC chair, I will use this platform to expand and improve mentoring programs in Michigan, giving children access to caring , responsible adult role models who can make a tremendous difference in their lives by investing some time each week." By using Michigan's networks, like the 33 Volunteer Centers, 12,000-strong Senior Corps members, or the literally hundreds of after-school programs, Mulhern said Mentor Michigan can help recruit mentors and connect volunteers with children in their local communities . 'The MCSC has the tools, reputation, and networks to establish a strong Mentor Michigan program," Mulhern said . "This will be a great benefit for children who have had a light brush with the criminal justice system and need guidance, those who are having trouble focusing on school , or those who want to spend time with an adult who can share a talent or job skill with them ." Mulhern also announced that he will host forums in the fall designed to bring existing mentoring programs in the state together to share information and help develop a comprehensive program for Mentor Michigan. "We want existing programs to tell us what they need to help make Mentor Mich igan a broad statewide initiative," Mulhern said . "Soon , we will have a web site to promote Mentor Michigan and act as an information resource for existing programs and organizations thinking about getting involved in mentoring ." "Mentor Michigan will help us secure a better future for thousands of Michigan 's children ," Mulhern added. "I am proud and delighted to spearhead th is effort for the Governor." http ://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--68376--,00.html 5/22/2003 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION CONTACf: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission (517) 335-4295 caldwellk1 @michigan.gov www.michhran.gov/mcsc GOVERNOR GRANHOLM HONORS 91-YEAR OLD VOLUNTEER HERO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lansing, Michigan, May 20,2003- Today, Governor Jennifer M.

"Bud" Weber 902 West 281h Street Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 (906) 635-7848 Bud Weber, 91 of Sault Ste. Marie, is synonymous with "Good Samaritan" in Chippewa County. His philosophy goes beyond doing the volunteer work himself; he has always encouraged others to get involved to help get the job done. His greatest impact has been the role he played in starting the United Way of Chippewa County. In 1956 he spent many hours working with a local committee, representatives from other area United Ways, and the United Way of Michigan to get this project off the ground. He served as the first Campaign Chair and as a Campaign Volunteer for more than 45 years. As a result ofhis ongoing work, there are 15 agencies in Chippewa County receiving United Way funding. Collectively, these agencies served 1 in 3 residents in 2002. Throughout his volunteer career, Bud served on the board of directors for numerous organizations. He took each of his commitments seriously and did much more than just attend meetings. His visioning and action has been put to use at the Bayliss Public Library, Chippewa County International Airport, American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Camp Fire, Salvation Army, Hospice of Chippewa County, United Way of Michigan, United Way of Chippewa County, and First United Presbyterian Church. He has been an active member of the Lions Club since 1937 and is still a member today-that's 66 years of service! His work with the Lions Club brought him numerous awards including the Ambassador of Goodwill, the highest award for humanitarian service given by the Lions. Bud served as a City Commissioner and on the Planning and Development Commission. In 1951 he helped draft the City Charter that is still in effect today. He was the driving force in developing the city's Master Plan in 1986 and he served as chair of the Sault Beautification Committee for 17 years. When he was 81 years old, Bud literally "put his neck on the line" while volunteering with the Stewardship Committee of the First United Presbyterian Church. While he was delivering pledge information to a church family member, he fell and broke his neck. But he never lost his sense of humor during his recovery period and was out serving his community again in no time. Bud and his wife, Gretchen, have recently moved into a long-term care facility. He is now focusing his service on writing a history of Sault Ste. Marie so that others can learn from someone who has lived it rather than just researched it. Through his actions, Bud has made service his lifetime's greatest achievement. 1 �2003 Governor's Service Awards Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award Honorable Mention Barbara Alban 12 Tumberry Lane Dearborn, MI 48120-1167 (313) 240-4052 When asked to describe Barbara Alban, people use words like vibrant, caring, sympathetic, willing, competent, organized, and loyal. Through her volunteer service, she has demonstrated that the determination, vision, and hard work of one person can truly make a difference. Barb began her volunteer work in the schools when her four daughters and two sons were young. Soon she began taking on additional volunteer responsibilities. In the early 70's she helped create the Oakwood Hospital Volunteer Guild and the Mt. Carmel Hospital Guild. In 1992 her work with these organizations led to the development of the Women's Healthcare Classic. During its first year, this event helped screen 200 women for breast and cervical cancer and three active breast cancers were found. Because these three women had the benefit of early detection, their lives may have been saved. This event continues to grow every year. She has also been active with the Michigan Cancer Foundation for more than 20 years. As the chair ofRegional Volunteer Activities, she led and supervised over 400 volunteers, who in tum served more than 1,300 cancer patients in the Western Wayne area. Barb has served at the Christ Child Society of Detroit, United Way, Wayne County Medical Society Auxiliary, Women's Association of the Dearborn Orchestral Society, Sacred Heart Church in Dearborn, and on the Metropolitan Board for Karmanos Cancer Institute. Honorable Mention Charles Cone 38260 Connaught Northville, MI 48167 (248) 477-3825 Charles Cone's volunteer service has saved lives. He is a volunteer pilot who flies with AirLifeLine. During his 25 missions of mercy, he has transported patients needing transplants, cancer patients, bum victims, and more.

Honorable Mention Bobbie Wilson 200 West Hamilton Circle Battle Creek, MI 49015 (269) 963-3204 Because of the volunteer service of Bobbie Wilson, the Leila Arboretum in Battle Creek is a community landmark today. The 72 acres that included an arboretum and botanical garden, was donated to Battle Creek by the C.W. Post family in the early 1920's. Beginning with the Great Depression and continuing until the early 1980' s the land languished. Then in 1983 Bobbie Wilson became involved with the board of directors and helped establish the Leila Arboretum Society. She and a small band of volunteers redeveloped the old arboretum in accordance with the original landscape design. From 1983 to 1991 when the first paid staff came on board, the Society was comprised of all volunteers and guided by the vision and enthusiasm of Bobbie. The face of Battle Creek is changed forever because of the Leila Arboretum Society. This is not a typical "garden club." It is a serious effort to restore a community landmark and to provide a place of incredible beauty, peace, and tranquility. The tone and vision for this project has been carried primarily in the hands of Bobbie Wilson. She has also volunteered with the local chapter of Keep America Beautiful; coordinated the Battle Creek's Pride-a campaign to clean up downtown Battle Creek; served on the Battle Creek Parks and Recreational Commission and the Historical Commission; actively participated on the board of the United Way of Greater Battle Creek; has been a hospital volunteer; served as Chair of the Battle Creek Sesquicentennial Celebration; is one of the founders of the Pioneer Festival; and more. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In order to implement this phase, ASC convened a Design Team composed of 10 Commissioners and 5 Executive Directors representing the five clusters. The Design Team will act as the guide for all the proposed products. The five products are: 1) Commissioner Leadership Development Institute 2) Electronic Landscape Project 3) Interactive Web Site- COMPLETED, February 2003 4) Commissioner Handbook 5) Library Resource Center While each product is independently important, their interdependency will blend the individual product with the whole group, and human resources with electronic strategies. Both the curriculum guide and the electronic strategies increase efficiencies, expand interactivity and add options for commissions to secure needed information. The Design Team will focus its work on • The Commissioner Leadership Development curriculum (CLDI) - planned for 7/2003 • Train the trainer session • The Commissioner Handbook- started 2/2003; Work-In-Progress • The Resource Library. ASC has established a very ambitious time line for the Design Team. We hope to complete all of the Design Team work in approximately 12 months. The Team will meet 3 times for 2 1/2 days in 2003. ASC will provide the funding for travel, meals and lodging for all the required meetings. This design team will be a working committee. Along with curriculum consultant, Nancy McDuff, the Team members will assist in the design of the handbook, develop content, determine delivery formats, act as reviewers for each step of the project as well as address the interactivity of all 5 products. In addition to the time spent at the planning meetings the Team will be working in small committees and will meet by conference call to move the work forward. The first meeting for the Design Team was February 7, 8 & 9, 2003 in Washington, DC. The next meeting is July 25 , 26, 27 & 28 in Walla Walla, Washington .

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Russell G. Mawby 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: /L Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwel~ Executive Director DATE: May 5, 2003 RE: Executive Director's Report This report will outline the primary activities of the MCSC since February and explain future events that will be of interest to you as a member of the MCSC. A tremendous amount has been accomplished over the past three months that forced me to make a rather lengthy report, but all the information will be relevant to our discussions at the May meeting. There will also be a great deal of attention given to the activities of the state and federal government as each has generated a great deal of activity and tension in recent weeks. Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan 's AmeriCorps Competitive Funding Application The Executive Committee approved the AmeriCorps Competitive Funding package at their Ferbrary meeting. The details of that package are included in the Executive Committee materials behind tab 2 of this mailing. As in the past, there are two cycles of AmeriCorps funding. First, the AmeriCorps Competitive package is forwarded to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) for their review. In June the CNCS will designate which programs it will fund out of that package and at what amount. Staff will then examine the remaining programs and deteimine our best strategy for the Formula package. This allows the MCSC to get as many quality programs funded as possible each year. Unfortunately, we will not be funding as many programs this year as in the past due to significant reductions in federal funding. AmeriCorps Enrollment and Funding Crisis As you may recall from my recent emails and memos, the CNCS has experienced a number of accounting challenges brought on by mismanagement of the Educational Award Trust (funds set aside to support the post-service benefit of AmeriCorps members). In November, the �CNCS decided to cease enrollment of AmeriCorps members until they could verify that sufficient funds were available to cover their existing commitments. Enrollment has since been opened again, but Congress has severely limited the number of members that can be enrolled (50,000), taken programming funds from states to cover the costs of making the Trust solvent, and admonished the CNCS for its mishandling of the situation. Now, even the most ardent supporters of AmeriCorps are upset and are looking for proof that the issue has been solved. Unfortunately, there are still uncertainties lingering about the amount of funding the Trust currently has and how many commitments will need to be covered. Therefore, while the enrollment freeze has been lifted, there will be anywhere from 35-50% fewer program dollars available in Michigan to support the members' efforts. We now know that approximately $240 million in requests were forwarded to the CNCS for Competitive AmeriCorps funding and only $50 million will be available. All of this is detailed in the attached memo dated March 18. I believe that it is important that the MCSC remain focused on three important issues as they relate to this crisis: 1. Michigan's programs are doing great work. The national mishandling of funds and mismanagement of the accounting processes should not reflect on the good work of local AmeriCorps programs and certainly not their members. (see Michigan's AmeriCorps attached). 2. Michigan's systems are sound. The MCSC has taken great steps to ensure it is accountable for the state and federal funds it administers. Over the past two years our accounting, programming, grant-making and personnel systems have all been examined and approved. 3. States should not pay for federal mistakes. The CNCS appropriations to state and local communities must not be used to pay for the accounting errors of the CNCS. The more than $100 million needed to make the Education Award Trust solvent has been paid largely out of cuts made to state-administered AmeriCorps programs while many other programs within the CNCS use the Education Awards. The local program funds must be restored to the previous year's levels and the burden to pay for the mistakes must be borne by the federal entity that created them. Michigan's AmeriCorps 2003 Signature Service Project June 20-21, Battle Creek Battle Creek's Washington Heights neighborhood is going to see a big change this summer. In just one day, 300 AmeriCorps members from across the state will come to Battle Creek to build four new homes from the ground up. Right now, four vacant lots on Helen Montgomery Street are filled with nothing but brush and trash. On June 21, 2003, four houses, complete with roofs, siding, and windows, will be constructed in just 8 hours. For most folks in the neighborhood, this project will result in a great improvement to the ugly string oflots that has been an eyesore for years. For four families, these new homes will bring a change that will shape the rest of their lives. �This homebuilding project is the focus of this year's Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state come together for a day of service in one community. This year's project is being organized in conjunction with Battle Creek's Habitat for Humanity, Neighborhood Inc., Michigan National Guard, Michigan Department of Corrections' Prison Build Program, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. We would love to have the Commissioners participate in the event. If you are interested in joining us for the June 21st Signature Service Project, please contact Janice Harvey at 517373-4998. Member Council Newsletter Attached you will find the most recent edition of MI AmeriCorps (pronounced "My AmeriCorps"), the member newsletter published by the Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Council three times a year. The newsletter contains articles from AmeriCorps members throughout the state. By the time the third issue of MI AmeriCorps is published in July, each of the 24 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will have contributed at least one article. The member newsletter is one way for members to learn more about the different ways AmeriCorps is helping our communities in Michigan. Service-Learning in Michigan 2003-2004 Learn and Serve- Michigan Funding The MCSC, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is seeking proposals for 2003-2004 Learn and Serve- Michigan School-Based programs. For FY20032004 approximately $525,000 is available competitively for local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public and private school academies. Funding ranges from $6,000 to $40,000, dependant on school size and implementation level. More than 7,300 Notice of Funds available announcements were mailed on April11, 2003. Technical assistance sessions were offered on April30, 2003 in Lansing and on May 2, 2003 in Roscommon. Applications are due to the MCSC on June 13, 2003. Please share this information with education institutions you believe might be interested. Future Learn & Serve Funding April was a busy month for the Learn and Serve - Michigan staff. Over the course of the month the staffhas developed and submitted three Learn and Serve applications to support service-learning in Michigan. The Learn and Serve- Michigan Community-based application requested $350,000 a year for three years to support service-learning through nonprofit and community organizations during non-school hours. The Learn and Serve-Michigan schoolbased formula application, submitted on behalf of the Michigan Department of Education, requested $765,719 a year for three years to support grants to local school districts to implement and institutionalize service-learning district-wide. Finally, in partnership with the MDE and the Council ofMichigan's Learning to Give Project, the MCSC submitted a Learn and Serve school-based competitive grant in the amount of$180,500 a year for three years to develop 20 new Learning to Give Pilot schools in the Learn and Serve grantee school districts, develop 100 new service-learning lesson plans that will deepen the connection between history, civics, and service-learning, further developing higher education partnerships to support local schools in implementing service-learning and civics education, and support the practice and advocacy of service-learning by youth networks. �2003 Institute on Service-Learning: Engaging Students in a Disengaged Society On February 13,2003, the MCSC, in partnership with Michigan Campus Compact, Central Michigan University and the Michigan Department of Education, sponsored the Institute on Service-Learning; Engaging Students in a Disengaged Society. This is the second year that the MCSC has partnered on this annual event. More than 350 administrators, educators and students from K12 and institutions of higher education participated in thirty-four workshops and pre-conference sessions. Featured speakers included Dr. Michael Rao, President of Central Michigan University, Kathleen Strauss, President of the State Board of Education, and Dr. Edgar Beckham of the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The MCSC hosted one-day Learn and Serve -Michigan School-Based grantee meeting and ServiceLearning Youth Council (SLYC) meetings on February 12, 2003 to coincide with the institute. Service-Learning Summer Symposium Learn and Serve grantees from across the state are being invited to attend the second annual summer service-learning symposium, Transforming Vision Into Action: Developing Powerful Strategies for Sustaining Service-Learning, June 16-17,2003, at the Sheraton Hotel in Lansing. This symposium offers local district teams the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking dialogue and strategic planning around policy and leadership to support service-learning. Teams of up to five will learn the latest promising practices, hear from national leaders in the field, and work together to develop critical steps for building support for district wide service-learning. Teams might include teachers, building administrators, curriculum directors, parents, students, community partners, or others committed to servicelearning. Teams will craft a vision for the future and specific plans to achieve that vision. Service-Learning Regional Training One-day trainings for service-learning practitioners (or those interested in learning more) were held in three locations throughout Michigan during the month of March. The Michigan Community Service Commission sponsored "The Fundamentals of Service-Learning" in partnership with Eastern Michigan University (March 19 in Ypsilanti), Northern Michigan University (March 25 in Marquette), and Western Michigan University (March 27 in Kalamazoo). The trainings provided the fundamental building blocks for developing schoolbased service-learning. Nearly 100 attendees participated in this exciting training opportunity. Other CNCS Funded Initiatives Disability Initiative The Michigan's National Service Inclusion Project Resource Guide has been completed and distributed to National Service programs throughout the state. This 314-page manual-with material authored and adapted by Linda Adam, Disability Coordinator for the MCSCprovides information that will enable National Service programs to increase the involvement of people with disabilities. Training was offered and approximately 190 binders have been distributed to MCSC staff, AmeriCorps Program Directors, Learn and Serve Coordinators, AmeriCorps VISTA staff, Senior Corps staff, and the MCSC Disability Advisory Committee. The information contained in the Inclusion Project Resource Guide is also available on the MCSC web site under the ''News and Resources" button, which appears on the left side of every MCSC web page (http://www.michigan.gov/mcsc/0,1607.7-137-6118 22503--- �,OO.html). If you would like a copy of the binder, or a CD with the information in MS Word format, please contact Kathie Vasilion at (517) 373-4200. Michigan Citizen Corps The Michigan Citizen Corps Council hosted its second meeting in open hearing style at the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from Senior Corps programs and the Volunteer Centers both testified as to the role of volunteers. In June, the Council will meet in Marquette to finalize plans for the implementation of the Michigan Citizen Corps Communities, CERT training and the staffing of the overall initiative. Audit Update The CNCS is still drafting its management decis_ion for our audit. All indications appear that we will have a minor disallowed cost that has already been paid ($1,000) and a minor over billing to our Administration lines ($162). We are still awaiting the final management decision and the acceptance of that decision by the Inspector General for the CNCS (about six weeks). Bottom line, this is a good result. State Budget Update The MCSC was recommended for flat funding by the Governor in her budget for the 2003-04 fiscal year (roughly $1.78 million). Since that time, the Senate Appropriations Committee has eliminated $780,000 of the MCSC budget by eliminating the Volunteer Investment Grants program. Once the appropriations measure goes to the full Senate this week, it will be forwarded to the House. If the two houses disagree on the amount for VIG, it will be forced to go to a conference committee of both houses where a final compromise will be worked out and sent to the Governor. Staffing Since the February meeting we have experienced a few staff changes. We are sad to say that Jennifer Forbes, the administrative assistant to Garry Gross and Paula Kaiser, accepted a position with Michigan Department of Aviation. Liz.Scully, one of our training and communication coordinators, moved to Colorado with her husband where he has accepted a teaching position. Linda Adam, MCSC's disability coordinator and author of our newly published Disabilities Guide, was on a two-year contract which expired on April25, 2003. Inspite of the departures, we do have some great news. On Wednesday, April 30th, Diana Algrajoined our staff as the new Service-Learning Partnership/Program Development Coordinator. Diana has agreed to take a one-year position with us to help us develop support for service-learning among the various education groups and associations and resources for the field. Diana comes to us with extensive knowledge of the service field including being the former Director of AmeriCorps State and National, former director of the Michigan Campus Compact and the MCSC. We are excited to have Diana and all of the experience and energy. She will be a great addition to our staff. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M. GRANHOLM , Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Russell G. Mawby 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing , Michigan 48913 Telephone : 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 www.michigan .gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director, Michigan Community Service Commission DATE: March 18,2003 RE: Update on AmeriCorps Enrollment and Funding The challenges: 1. The Omnibus Appropriations bill resulted in a 35.4% cut in funding to states for AmeriCorps programs. 2. The unanticipated accounting shortfall in the Education Trust that resulted in the AmeriCorps enrollment freeze in November 2002. 3. The additional $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to an accounting error. 4. The proposed solutions to the above issues. On February 20, 2003, the 2003 Omnibus Appropriations measure became law. The bill included funding for formula and competitive grants to states for AmeriCorps programs for the 03-04 program year. Unfortunately, the Omnibus bill reduced state AmeriCorps program funds from $193,492,000 to $125,000,000-a cut of35.4%. This is the most significant reduction made in the entire 03-04 budget for CNCS and the largest ever for states. The bill also included $100 million for the Education Award Trust to make up for the accounting shortfall that precipitated the enrollment freeze. As a result, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) made the decision to lift the freeze on AmeriCorps enrollments. The freeze was lifted after an agreement between the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and CNCS that the $100 million Trust appropriation be used for future education awards and not be used to rectify the $64 million owed by the Trust due to accounting errors. In addition, the bill caps at 50,000 the number of individuals that can be enrolled in AmeriCorps. �To help address these issues, on Tuesday, March 4th, President Bush sent a lett~r to Speaker Hastert requesting that: a. The $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to accounting errors be liquidated. b. Congress give CNCS the power to transfer up to $50 million from programming to the Educational Award Trust to cover the unanticipated shortfall. c. CNCS have the ability to enroll more than 50,000 AmeriCorps members. While the President's proposal is a good step forward, there are a myriad of issues left unsolved. I. The proposal does not call for a restoration of program funding. The funding for state programs is still cut 35.4%. a. For Michigan, this could mean a cut of $2.1 million (of our current $6.2 million). b. This could eliminate 246 of Michigan's current 696 AmeriCorps members. 2. When next year's budget is presented (for the 04-05 programming year), any increase over the current amount of $125 million will be seen as an increase in the budget. It will not be seen as an attempt to restore funding to the originally expected level of $193 million. 3. The $50 million that can now be transferred from CNCS program funds into the Education Trust, will result in even less funds available for AmeriCorps programs. Therefore, the 35.4% cut to states could be even larger. a. A portion of the $50 million could be taken from the $125 million. 4. The $100 million allotted to the Trust is not adequate as it must cover approximately 20,000 members for the 02-03 program year (those that were impacted by the enrollment freeze) and the proposed 50,000 members for the 03-04 program year. a. $100 million is enough for 21,164 education awards for full-time members.

Mulhern and requested that he join and chair the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) in keeping with our plans for the leadership of this organization. To my delight, he agreed. On April 18, 2003, I sent a letter to Governor Granholm tendering my resignation as Chairman effective May 20, 2003. Therefore, as my last act as Chairman of the MCSC, I would ask for unanimous support for the Governor's appointment of Daniel G. Mulhern as the Chairman of the MCSC effective May 20,2003. �Page 1 of 1 Daniel G. Mulhern Biography Release Date: December 26, 2002 Daniel G. Mulhern Biography In various roles, Daniel Granholm Mulhern has been teaching and practicing servant leadership all of his professional life. A graduate of University of Detroit Jesuit High School, Dan considered entering the priesthood, and majored in religious studies at Yale University. He taught theology at Tampa Jesuit High School, and then moved to New Orleans where he was the executive director of THE Center, a multi-purpose community center that served the disadvantaged. Dan continued his education at Harvard Law School, where he met his wife, Jennifer Mulhern Granholm, and graduated with honors. In 1999, he co-founded the Mulhern Hastings Group, a leadership and organizational development firm, located in downtown Detroit. There he has trained, consulted, and provided executive coaching to organizations across greater Detroit. Clients have included law firms and school districts, art and cultural organizations, tier one auto suppliers and health care systems. As his wife became Michigan's 47th Governor, Mulhern decided to leave the firm he co-founded to focus first on his wife and children. He will continue to teach leadership in his new capacity in the Granholm Administration by taking on challenging projects, such as Mentor Michigan. Started by Granholm, First Lady Michelle Engler, and former Detroit Piston lsiah Thomas, Mentor Michigan successfully recruited 4,000 caring adults to mentor children who had a light brush with the legal system. Mu lhern is committed to increasing the volunteer ranks to 10,000 in the next four years to help more Michigan children succeed . Prior to his work in individual and organizational development, Dan practiced law, worked for Congressman Sander Levin, directed the youth services division for Wayne County, and raised funds for U of D Jesuit High School. His formal study of leadership began under Ronald Heifetz, co-director of leadership programs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has taught leadership at Tufts University, Wayne State and University of Michigan Dearborn . In 1993, he was awarded a WK Kellogg National Leadership grant which allowed him to further his study of leadership with nationally renowned scholars. He publishes a weekly e-column called "Reading for Leading" that stimulates the thought and development of leaders around Detroit and around the country. Dan continues work on a book on character and leadership for which he has interviewed more than 60 local, national and international political leaders. His wife, Jennifer M. Granholm, was elected Michigan's 47th Governor in November 2002. He plans to support her administration's focus on securing the future for Michigan's families by renewing his work with children who need an extra helping hand to achieve their dreams. The third of seven children, Dan was born in Detroit to Mary and Jack Mulhern. He grew up in Inkster and Lathrup Village, both suburbs of Detroit. In his spare time, he coaches his daughters' basketball teams and tries valiantly to keep up with his five-year old son's already hearty appetite for learning .

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director, Michigan Community Service Commission DATE: March 18,2003 RE: Update on AmeriCorps Enrollment and Funding The challenges: 1. The Omnibus Appropriations bill resulted in a 35.4% cut in funding to states for AmeriCorps programs. 2. The unanticipated accounting shortfall in the Education Trust that resulted in the AmeriCorps enrollment freeze in November 2002. 3. The additional $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to an accounting error. 4. The proposed solutions to the above issues. On February 20, 2003, the 2003 Omnibus Appropriations measure became law. The bill included funding for formula and competitive grants to states for AmeriCorps programs for the 03-04 program year. Unfortunately, the Omnibus bill reduced state AmeriCorps program funds from $193,492,000 to $125,000,000-a cut of35.4%. This is the most significant reduction made in the entire 03-04 budget for CNCS and the largest ever for states. The bill also included $100 million for the Education Award Trust to make up for the accounting shortfall that precipitated the enrollment freeze. As a result, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) made the decision to lift the freeze on AmeriCorps enrollments. The freeze was lifted after an agreement between the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Office ofManagement and Budget (OMB), and CNCS that the $100 million Trust appropriation be used for future education awards and not be used to rectify the $64 million owed by the Trust due to accounting errors. In addition, the bill caps at 50,000 the number of individuals that can be enrolled in AmeriCorps. �To help address these issues, on Tuesday, March 41h, President Bush sent a letter to Speaker Hastert requesting that: a. The $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to accounting errors be liquidated. b. Congress give CNCS the power to transfer up to $50 million from programming to the Educational Award Trust to cover the unanticipated shortfall. c. CNCS have the ability to enroll more than 50,000 AmeriCorps members. While the President's proposal is a good step forward, there are a myriad of issues left unsolved. 1. The proposal does not call for a restoration of pro gram funding. The funding for state programs is still cut 35.4%. a. For Michigan, this could mean a cut of $2.1 million (of our current $6.2 million). b. This could eliminate 246 ofMichigan's current 696 AmeriCorps members. 2. When next year's budget is presented (for the 04-05 programming year), any increase over the current amount of $125 million will be seen as an increase in the budget. It will not be seen as an attempt to restore funding to the originally expected level of $193 million. 3. The $50 million that can now be transferred from CNCS program funds into the Education Trust, will result in even less funds available for ArneriCorps programs. Therefore, the 35.4% cut to states could be even larger. a. A portion ofthe $50 million could be taken from the $125 million. 4. The $100 million allotted to the Trust is not adequate as it must cover approximately 20,000 members for the 02-03 program year (those that were impacted by the enrollment freeze) and the proposed 50,000 members for the 03-04 program year. a. $100 million is enough for 21,164 education awards for full-time members. These issues are real challenges for communities as they rely more and more on national service to fill in the social services gaps. The cuts to Michigan are hidden at the federal level, but are very real at the community level as the Michigan's AmeriCorps portfolio will shrink substantially. �FY 2003 Omnibus Appropriations Passed Th is chart represents a summary of the congressional appropriations as they relate to the Corporation for National and Community Service. 1 Al l entries are in thousands of dollars FY2002 Enacted FY 2003 Request FY 2003 Enacted 106,700 44,395 54,884 111 ,500 46,600 58 ,900 400 106,700 46,563 58 ,884 400 69,846 0 57 ,000 100,000 185,591 47,000 193,492 324,201 47 ,000 71 ,000 125,000 50 ,000 FY 2001 Enacted Item Senior Corps Foster Grandparents Sen ior Companion RSVP National Demonstration 98 ,868 40 ,395 48,884 400 National Service Trust AmeriCorps Grants ./\Formula and Competitive Grants National Directs 400 AmeriCorps*VISTA Innovation , Demonstration , and Ass istance Activities 83 ,074 85,287 94,287 94 ,300 28,437 28,488 35,500 35,500 Evaluation 4,989 5,000 5,000 3,000 NCCC 20 ,954 25,000 35,000 25,000 Learn and Serve: K-12 and Higher Education 42,905 43 ,000 43,000 43,000 Corp. for Natl. & Comm .

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Deputy Directol.i¥-J Michigan Community Service Commission RE: StaffRecommendations for Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants DATE: January 31 , 2003 Michigan 's Volunteer Investment Grants For FY 03, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) had $780,100 available to support Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants. In Round I, the MCSC awarded 12 grants that totaled $659,095. Therefore, the MCSC had $121 ,005 of unallocated funds for FY03. In December, the MCSC issued the2003 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Round IT application guidelines. The applications were due to the MCSC on January 21 , 2003. We received 7 applications requesting $335,000. The applications were peer reviewed on January 27, 2003. The peer reviewers recommended 5 of the applications for a total of$205,000. The staff reviewed the applications and is recommending all 5 applications be funded at reduced amount for a total of $121,000 - the total amount available. Successful applications were very close in the staff scoring. Therefore, to be as fair and equitable as possible, the staff recommended an even amount for all five applicants. �Recommendation #1 The staff recommends funding for the following applicants at their recommended level pending satisfactory completion of application revisions: Applicant $75 ,000 Recommended Amount $24,200 $25,000 $24,200 $30,000 $24,200 $50,000 $24,200 $25,000 $24,200 $205,000 $121,000 Requested Amount Calvin College Dickinson Iron Community Services Agency ENRICH of Ionia County Jackson Nonprofit Support Center Volunteer Center ofMid-Michigan Total Recommendation #2 The staff does not recommend funding for the following applicants: Applicant Requested Amount Recommended Amount Marygrove College $55,000 $0 Volunteer Center ofNorthwest Michigan $75,000 $0 Total $130,000 $0 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Much like her 2000 by 2000 initiative 2 created by then Attorney General Granholm, this latest call seeks to engage and channel the passions and energies of Michigan's most vital resource- its volunteers. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) wants to help. Tool for Governor Granholm's Citizen Engagement Strategy The MCSC can be an effective tool for Governor Granholm to implement Governor Granholm's call to citizen service. While it is commonly held that individuals would act to serve their community if asked, 3 we also know that a call to service requires the support, leadership and the development of resources to be maintained. The MCSC has a decade-long history of providing these elements and seeks the opportunity to use service as a strategy to answer Governor Granholm's call to "breathe a renewed air of citizen patriotism, duty and service to one another." Utilizing a Proven Existing Structure The MCSC's current status as an agency codified in state law4 and operating within an existing department make it the ideal tool for the Governor to use in her effort to get more citizens engaged. The MCSC therefore, respectfully suggests that its administrative structure remain within the Department of Career Development (and thereby transferred to the new on labor and economic growth) to allow it to move forward in the most effective, quick and efficient manner possible. This placement would also provide the least restrictive and least complicated method for transitioning the MCSC into the new administration. To that end, the members of the MCSC hope that the following plan may serve as guide to the Governor as to how the MCSC might best serve in her administration. Communicating the Need for Service Thousands of Michigan citizens volunteer daily. Millions more do not. Conveying the message that service to community is important and expected in a healthy democracy requires communication with the public. The MCSC wishes to offer Governor Granholm another tool to use to convey this important message through the Governor's Service Awards program. An outline of the program and opportunities it provides is attached. The MCSC hopes that the Granholm Administration will take up this invitation and fully utilize the MCSC to help foster an ethic of giving and serving in all Michigan residents. 1 Inaugural address of Michigan's 47th Governor, Jennifer M. Granholm. The 2000 by 2000 initiative is now known as Mentor Michigan. 3 The past two Michigan Volunteering and Giving Surveys have noted that the majority of those who don't volunteer, would if asked and those who do volunteer do so because someone asked them. Michigan Volunteering and Giving is a statewide survey supported by the Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Council of Michigan Foundations. 4 See PA 219 of 1994 2 �Key Elements Five key elements may be enacted to effectively and innovatively advance Governor Granholm's call to service: • Lead: Appoint a high-level official to the cabinet or to a state governmental body to give the highest-level priority to the Governor's call to service. • Mandate: Call for universal access for all Michigan citizens to volunteer opportunities. • Educate: Instill an ethic of service in the next generation of citizen patriots by encouraging students to serve and by calling for all educators to utilize service-learning as a teaching methodology. • Prepare: Empower residents to strengthen and ensure the safety of their community through volunteerism. • Celebrate: Regularly and publicly recognize individuals, businesses and organizations that engage in exemplary service to their community. Action Items The five key elements to enacting the Governor's call to service can be enacted within the first 100 days of the Granholm Administration and can have an enormous impact without imposing additional burdens on the state budget. In fact, if this plan is enacted, it could provide additional resources to state government's ability to provide support to local communities.5 At the same time, every precaution should be taken to ensure that this plan in no way supplants or replaces jobs currently deemed as critical to the work and responsibilities of state government. Lead Create a cabinet-level position to advise the Governor on issues related to philanthropy and volunteerism and help state agencies develop policies and procedures that would better engage citizens in service. The primary responsibilities for this individual might include: • • • • 5 Overseeing the state government directives related to the Governor's call to service; Acting as a liaison between state government and foundations and other charitable organizations; Directing state agencies charged with promoting service and volunteerism; Brokering resources and technical assistance for state departments and agencies to promote volunteerism; Independent Sector estimates that the average value of a volunteer is more than $16/hour. �• • Highlighting exemplary volunteers for Governor Granholm to hold up as models for others to emulate; and Preparing regular reports to the Governor on the progress of state agencies in enacting the plan and on the state ofvolunteerism in Michigan6 . Mandate Call for universal access for all Michigan citizens to volunteer opportunities. Issue a mandate calling for all state departments and agencies to use service as a strategy by identifying opportunities and access points for citizens to volunteer. An executive order explaining the Governor's wishes along with a rationale for the mandate could be issued immediately. The order would: • • • • • • Explain the rationale for the mandate; 7 Detail the goals on providing universal access to volunteer opportunities; Charge each department to develop a plan for engaging volunteers in the core work of that agency; Call for regular reports on the challenges and successes of their plan; Charge the Michigan Community Service Commission with working with agencies to oversee and implement their plans; and Require that agencies and departments provide adequate resources and leadership to carry out the Governor's call to action. Educate Instill an ethic of service in the next generation of citizen patriots by encouraging students to serve and by calling for all educators to utilize service-learning as a teaching methodology. Use the public education system for the purposes under which it was initially createddeveloping and maintaining an informed and engaged citizenry. The One Michigan plan calls for the institutionalization of a mandatory service requirement for high school graduation. This is a very ambitious goal. Across the country, Maryland was the first and remains one of the few states that has enacted this policy, but only after a strong mandate from the Governor and a significant allocation of resources. 8 6 Michigan publishes a study of giving and volunteering in Michigan that can be used to lay a foundation for a report to the Governor. In addition, Texas published a report on the impact of volunteer initiatives in selected Texas state governmental agencies that may serve as a model. An executive summary is attached. 7 While stronger than some other states, Michigan's volunteer support at the local level must be strengthened. Currently only 65 percent of Michigan communities have access to a volunteer center. Michigan's state governmental agencies have a sporadic record of encouraging volunteerism. Some agencies have volunteer initiatives that support their work while also serving the needs of their clients. Others rely on volunteers at the community level to deliver services to communities. The Office on Services to the Aging has the strongest volunteer program with thousands of seniors serving across the state. Yet, even with all its support, this agency is still working to provide its programs to every Michigan community. If every state agency were called to engage volunteers, there would be the potential for universal access to volunteer opportunities in Michigan. �Service-learning can help. Currently only $800,000 is assigned to develop service-learning programs in Michigan. 9 However, current K-12 education funding provides flexibility for local schools to fund service-learning through other avenues. 10 In addition, the Learning To Give program has hundreds of lesson plans teachers can use to help educate young people on how and why service and philanthropy are important to a healthy democracy. Even with these resources, the Governor's goal of mandatory service may not be enacted. To fully meet this goal, the Governor can engage the Department of Education to: • • • • • Increase the funding available to schools for service-learning programs. Create resources for volunteer coordinator positions in schools or within intermediate school districts to help match students with volunteer opportunities. Establish a Board of Education liaison to work with local communities to promote service opportunities for young people. Call on colleges and universities with teacher education programs to promote servicelearning and provide the future classroom instructors with the tools they need to make service an expectation and instill civic engagement in the next generation of Michigan's leaders. Engage young people and youth-serving organizations in an alliance for youth service. This alliance would assess the needs of schools and young people to fully and effectively enact the Governor's call to service. Prepare Empower residents to strengthen and ensure the safety of their community through volunteerism. Local communities need to ensure their safety and security even more in the post-September 11th world we live in now. Service as a strategy can help by developing local planning for preparedness and crime prevention programs. The MCSC is taking the lead in bringing the talents and resources of Michigan ' s volunteers with our state and local emergency management professionals by: • • • • • 8 Partnering with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division; Developing a statewide Citizen Corps Council; 11 Crafting a plan to revitalize neighborhood watch and crime prevention programs; Creating a statewide training program for Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT); and Supporting the creation of local Citizen Corps Councils that will develop local plans for engaging volunteers to ensure local security and safety. In 1993, Maryland became the fust state in the nation to require all public school students to engage in servicelearning activities as a pre-requisite for high school graduation. No other state has a similar requirement yet, although many private schools and public school districts do have service requirements. 9 This represents the total federal funds allocated to Michigan for Learn & Serve School-based and Communitybased programs. 10 No Child Left Behind specifically identifies Character Education funds as eligible for this type of activity. 11 Citizen Corps Councils bring together local human service agencies with local emergency management officials to develop community preparedness and prevention plans. �Celebrate Regularly and publicly recognize individuals, businesses and organizations that engage in exemplary service to their community. Thousands of Michigan citizens volunteer every day. Their efforts go largely unrecognized, but their efforts are vital to the health of a community. Encouraging every citizen to volunteer requires that exemplary volunteer efforts be celebrated and heralded. The Governor's Service Awards is Michigan's premiere program for volunteer recognition. The attached proposal for the Governor's Service Awards can provide Governor Granholm a vehicle for spotlighting volunteers across Michigan. (See 2003 Governor's Service Awards.) Administrative Construct Implementing service as a strategy will require that the Governor have a state agency with the focused purpose of developing and supporting service and volunteerism. The MCSC is designed for that very purpose. The MCSC's proven track record of success offers Governor Granholm a tool to enact a bold vision and agenda for citizen engagement. The MCSC's mission and flexibility also make it difficult to place within a traditional state government structure. The MCSC is not an education program, but it supports several education initiatives. The MCSC is not a jobs program, but it engages hundreds ofMichigan citizens in full-time national service programs that teach them valuable skills. The MCSC is not a public safety program, but it is driving initiatives to engage volunteers in homeland security efforts. The MCSC is not a social services program, yet it has underwritten programs that have supported Michigan's welfare clients. The MCSC is not an agriculture program, but it supports water assessment programs. The MCSC cuts across nearly all of state government and social issues. To be most effective in enacting the Governor's call to service, the MCSC hopes to be able to partner with all state agencies and have the mandate and active support of the Governor. �MCSC Structure (department for economic development and labor) Under this model the MCSC essentially remains in its current agency and transitions with the Michigan Department of Career Development to the new department on labor and economic development. This would be inline with previous state government reorganizations. 12 Pros: • • • • • • • • • • • An effective demonstration ofthe Governor' s commitment to using service as a strategy. Utilize the existing organization, funding source, leadership and experience ofthe MCSC to move the Governor's citizen service agenda forward . Provides Governor Granholm a state governmental voice to volunteers, nonprofits and philanthropic institutions. 13 Continues the capacity of the MCSC to engage Michigan' s state agencies and employees. Provides the Governor an established, proven and efficient foil to enact other human services programs as the need arises. Creates an access point for the Governor's "opening the doors of government to citizen patriots" policy utilizing service as a strategy. Remain with same fiscal agency with existing personnel and administrative systems. Exist within a state agency with a broad agency mandate (economic and workforce development) The MCSC members would remain semi-autonomous and free to implement an agenda solely focused on service and volunteerism. Provides a seamless transition. Easiest method of transition for the Governor's Office to enact. Cons: • • • 12 The MCSC would be a small element of a much larger agency and might not receive the attention and support necessary to carry out its agenda. Housed within an agency that is not focused on service and volunteerism. Limits the MCSC ' s ability to work directly with the Governor's Office to enact her mandate. In 1991 , the MCSC was developed by executive order. As part of its creation, the MCSC was housed within the Governor's Office, but its contracts, personnel and general administrative services were provided by the Michigan Department of Labor. In 1994, the MCSC was reassigned to the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) as part of another executive order. The same staff provided the same services as they were transferred to the MJC. The MCSC is currently administratively housed within the Department of Career Development. The Department provides the basic administrative functions including audit resolution, budget development, accounting and human resources. The MCSC does not directly serve the mission of the Department as it is not a jobs program. 13 Members of the MCSC include representatives from the W.K. Kellogg and C.S. Mott Foundations, General Motors Corporation, Council of Michigan Foundations, and Habitat for Humanity. �Background Michigan's Governors Commitments to Service The call for citizen service is a long-standing tradition of public servants as a reminder to all of the responsibilities associated with living in a healthy and vibrant democracy. Michigan's leaders have carried this tradition forward through the actions of its Governors since the late Governor George W. Romney helped to give rise to the volunteer center movement over thirty years ago. Since then Governors Milliken, Blanchard and Engler have all placed their emphasis on service by providing their own leadership and support. Governor Romney's vision of providing universal access to volunteer centers spurred the campaign that gave rise to the Points of Light Foundation, the President's Summit for America's Future in Philadelphia and America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth 14 • Governor Milliken focused on Volunteers in Michigan and made this a sub-component of his administration 15 • Governor James Blanchard created one of the nation's largest youth-focused programs to get youth engaged with nonprofits while providing valuable job skills through the Michigan Youth Corps 16 . In a showing of surprising nonpartisanship, Governor Blanchard and Governor-elect John Engler held a press conference with Governor Romney to publicly affirm that their commitment to service will continue. The first spouses were present and agreed to work together on the Campaign for Volunteerism. Shortly thereafter, Governor Engler created the Michigan Community Service Commission and appointed First Lady Michelle Engler to serve as chair. As a major component of her inaugural address, Governor Granholm called for Michigan's citizens to ignite the flames of engagement and become involved in service. Infrastructure for Citizen Engagement In Michigan Realization of Governor Granholm's call to civic engagement will require leadership, infrastructure and constant high levels of interest and passion. We know this based on the history of the volunteer movement nationally, which has strong Michigan connections. While the state nickname ofTennessee is the "Volunteer State", Michigan is often touted as one ofthe nation's leaders in supporting and promoting volunteerism. This is due to the strong infrastructure that has been developed over the past two decades. Volunteer Opportunities Michigan has an extensive network of volunteer centers. Volunteer centers serve to support nonprofit organizations' most vital resource- volunteers. Volunteer centers match volunteers with quality opportunities to serve. In addition, volunteer centers serve as conveners for local organizations and individuals to come together to deal with the most vexing community problems. 14 The efforts of Governor Romney began after his departure as governor and was broadly called the National Program for Voluntary Action which consisted of the privately-funded, non-political National Center for Voluntary Action (NCVA) and the federal Office of Voluntary Action (OVA) which was the service arm of the Cabinet Subcommittee on Voluntary Action created in 1969 by President Nixon and chaired by Governor Romney. 15 Governor Milliken made volunteerism a subdepartment of the Department of Management and Budget. 16 The Michigan Youth Corps program created 40,000 jobs for young people. �Currently, volunteer centers service approximately 65 percent of Michigan's communities. Michigan is one of a handful of states to have a state association for volunteer centers and the only to be supported by an endowment. K-16 Education Students in Michigan are being encouraged to serve at every grade level, including college. The Council of Michigan Foundations is encouraging K-12 students through the Learning to Give initiative that teaches philanthropy through hundreds of teacher lesson plans-tied to the MEAP standards-that effectively teach English, math, science and social studies with an emphasis on giving of one's time, talent and treasurers. Federal support is provided to school districts to encourage volunteering through servicelearning-an experiential teaching methodology that brings the lessons of the classroom into the community. Learn & Serve America programs are targeted at schools and community-based organizations, but are limited in their scope due to the small amount of funding ($800,000). Still, this program engages 50,000 volunteers annually. In addition, the Michigan Department of Education last spring adopted a policy supporting servicelearning as a viable and valuable teaching methodology for Michigan's teachers. Higher education has taken a keen interest in encouraging service through the Michigan Campus Compact. This organization brings together college and university presidents to determine policy, gamer resources and engage in activities that encourage student, faculty and administrators in civic action both on and off campus. Nonprofit Sector Again, a leader among states, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is a support organization for Michigan's nonprofits. It engages in the public policy arena by providing analysis and advocacy services. This association also supports the fifth largest state industry by providing training and technical assistance to nonprofit boards and their staff. "Michigan In Brief' is published regularly by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Council of Michigan Foundations and serves to inform policy makers and the public on the most important issues facing our communities and the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Philanthropic Community Every community in Michigan is serviced by a community foundation . More than any other state in the nation, Michigan has provided universal access to the resources and opportunities afforded by these community trusts. In addition, Michigan is home to the nation's leading Regional Association ofGrantmakers- the Council ofMichigan Foundations. Supporting more than 400 foundations and corporations making grants for charitable purposes. The Council of Michigan Foundations, through the support ofthe W.K. Kellogg Foundation, also led the nation in developing youth advisory committees within community foundations to help create the next generation of grantmakers. �The Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project invested more than $65 million dollars in endowments and programs to support youth. Today, this initiative continues to encourage youth philanthropy and has been heralded as a national model. Alliance for Volunteerism Bringing together all the forces in support of Michigan ' s volunteers is the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance is a nonprofit organization that serves as a hub for the public and private sectors to support volunteerism as a way of life for Michigan residents. This organization is a partnership of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Campus Compact and the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan and is supported through a $20 million statewide endowment fund. The ConnectMichigan Alliance promotes volunteerism and civic engagement statewide through initiatives like Michigan' s Promise and ConnectMichigan Campaign. Governor Granholm's Tool to Advance Service as a Strategy Nearly every governor in the nation has a tool to promote citizen engagement- state service commissions. State service commissions are governor-appointed bodies designed to promote volunteerism and administer national service programs funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service. Some have utilized their state service commissions to implement various elements of their agendas including large mentoring and tutoring programs, public safety initiatives, environmental and forestry programs, and youth development initiatives. Michigan has taken the opportunity provided by its state commission on service to go further than just passing through federal funds. We know that to truly strengthen Michigan communities we must find unique, yet proven ways to solve local challenges. That is why the MCSC uses service as a strategy to community problem solving. The MCSC is the tool by which leadership, policy and resources are developed to advance this enduring model of neighbor helping neighbor. The MCSC supports local and statewide programs that focus on housing, education, technology, victim services, conflict resolution, youth development and public safety. Whatever the issue, generally service can provide a unique strategy for addressing it. Michigan was one of the first states to create a state service commission (two years prior to the federal government requiring their establishment to access federal national service funds) . The MCSC was created in 1991 and codified in state law in 1994 17 . Since that time it has engaged thousands of volunteers, administered and leveraged more than $70 million in public and private funds, and oversees the nation's only state-sponsored volunteer center endowment grant program. Today, the MCSC is the lead agency for the nation's largest national service program- AmeriCorps, and hosts the newest homeland security program- Citizen Corps. 17 The 87th Michigan Legislature passed PA 219 in 1994. A copy of the act is attached. �The MCSC is the state's only statutorily recognized body designed specifically to promote and encourage Michigan citizens to volunteer. The 25 nonpartisan members of the MCSC are appointed by the governor and serve as ambassadors for volunteerism and stewards for the public and private funds annually distributed to support volunteer-oriented programs. Members represent all sectors of Michigan society including businesses, government, nonprofits and faithbased organizations 18. Members represent all demographics with a special emphasis on youth. More than $8 million in state and federal dollars are administered by the MCSC with an additional $4-6 million distributed to community foundations in support of local health programs for youth and seniors. The MCSC operates Michigan's AmeriCorps- the federal government's largest national service program for Michigan. The MCSC also works with the Michigan Department of Education to administer the Learn & Serve America- the state's largest funding source for service-learning. Finally, the MCSC is working with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division to distribute and administer the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Citizen Corps program in support of homeland security and preparedness. Nationally, the MCSC is recognized as one of the leading state service commissions and is often used as a model for other states. The MCSC has helped the nation's governors recognize the power of volunteerism and the role it can play in addressing their agendas by taking the lead at crafting and revising the National Governor's Association policy on national and community service 19. Both the Clinton and Bush administrations have sought input from the MCSC on national service policy. The MCSC has representation through its current and former members on the boards and staff of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Points of Light Foundation, America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth, Habitat for Humanity International, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S . Mott Foundation and the Council on Foundations. The MCSC has served as a focal point for state agencies to utilize volunteerism. The Adopt-APart of Michigan programs use a toll-free number underwritten and staffed by the MCSC. The Family Independence Agency operated a Michigan ' s AmeriCorps program to recruit and place volunteers on behalf of their clients. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality operated AmeriCorps programs granted through the MCSC. The MCSC works with the Michigan Department of Education to administer the Learn & Serve program for Michigan. The role of the MCSC as a grantmaking body to support volunteerism, its depth in leadership demonstrated by its members, its partnerships with state agencies, its record of using service as a strategy for community problem solving, and its connection to all segments of Michigan society (profit, nonprofit, and social sectors) make it the ideal tool to implement Governor Granholm' s call to "light the flames of engagement." 18 19 see conuruss10ner . . ,.1stmg . attac hed. HR-24 was introduced, and has been revised with the assistance of the MCSC and Michigan 's Washington, D.C. Office. �Attachments Draft Plan of the Governor's Service Awards Program Investing in Volunteerism: The Impact of Service Initiatives in Selected Texas State Agencies (Executive Summary) Public Act 219 of 1994 Listing ofMembers of the Michigan Community Service Commission �2003 Governor's Service Awards Background and History The Governor's Service Awards (GSA) began in 1994 with the purpose of recognizing and celebrating the exemplary efforts of Michigan' s volunteers.

Through their volunteer participation in state agencies, children and seniors are safe and cared for, parks are clean and inviting, historic sites are preserved, our cultural heritage is celebrated, and needed services are rendered. Investing in Volunteerism is an analysis of the volunteer service and community engagement efforts of eighteen selected state agencies and organizations. Funded in part by a grant received by the Texas Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service from the Corporation for National and Community Service, this study was undertaken by the RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service, a component of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. • Volunteer participation is big business in Texas State Government agencies. Significantly more than 200,000 Texans serve this state through structured service opportunities providing contributions in time, in-kind contributions, and donations valued in excess of $35 million. • Four organizational models facilitate the delivery of volunteer service. Centralized models appear to be most effective in leveraging broad large-scale citizen participation initiatives. These models require dedicated staff at the central office and regional levels supporting volunteerism. Decentralized models operate on a project or program specific level. Generally focused on outcome or project goals, these relatively smaller efforts address specific needs. Regional outreach is variable. Community-based models of service rely heavily on the work of independent nonprofit organizations formed to assist the state in meeting significant social problems. Hybrid models represent a combination of these systems. • More than 100 different service opportunities and volunteer projects were identified by the participating agencies. Key challenges to greater volunteer involvement include staff availability to supervise and support volunteers and staff understanding of the roles and function s volunteers can perform. • People of all ages serve as volunteers. Fewer opportunities exist for youth service. Senior adults were frequently lauded for their volunteer activities. Volunteers are not free . They do however significantly expand the reach of state government, leverage scarce financial resources, and actively engage citizens in the work of a democracy. Their involvement helps generate networks of trust and reciprocity, building caring communities. �Act No. 219 Public Acts of 1994 Approved by ttie Governor June 26, 1994 Filed with the Secretary of State June 27, 1994 STATE OF MICHIGAN 87TH LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION OF 1994 Introduced by Reps.

The commissioner suggestions from the December meeting were incorporated into the program. • The GSA Nomination Form is also being printed, so it will also be available in hard copy. • We really, really need commissioners to help get the word out about the Governor's Service A wards. o Direct people to our web site o Have people call us o Have people email us o Make copies of the Nomination Form you received and share it with others o Give staff names and addresses of people you would like us to send the nomination form to. • Remember, we are now accepting nominations year round. • Good news! State Farm has agreed to be one of the sponsors! State Farm is really interested in all of the work the MCSC does around youth and service-learning. So they are sponsoring the Governor's Service Awards that focus around youth, servicelearning, and education. • We are putting the Peer Review Panel together. Debbie Macon and agreed to serve on the Peer Review Panel. Members of the Outreach Committee and other volunteers will also be serving on the Peer Review Panel. The final number of reviewers depends �upon the number of nominations that need to be reviewed (so people don't have to review more than 15 or so nominations). • To help promote the Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteerism, we have partnered with the Council of Michigan Foundation and Michigan Nonprofit Association to create a joint nomination form for the Romney Award and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy. In the past, the Mawby Award was presented at the Governor's Service Awards dinner. This year both awards will be presented at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference on May 20th in Lansing. A copy of this nomination form is at your place (copied on yellow paper). • The MCSC staff is doing the following to promote GSA: o Distributing flyers announcing the Governor's Service Awards to our entire database (14,000 individuals). The flyer will direct people to the website or have them contact us for the nomination form. o Mailing the nomination form to all of our grantees and key stakeholders. o Working with our friends and partners (Michigan Nonprofit Association, ConnectMichigan Alliance, United Way, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Library, etc.) to have them promote GSA on their web sites and in their newsletters. o Put announcements on State of Michigan employee paycheck stubs. o Promoting GSA on the MCSC's home page. o Sending announcements out on a variety of list serves. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Standing Committee Reports - Chairperson Mawby. A. Executive Committee Report -Chairperson Mawby. 1. Chairperson Mawby discussed the minutes of the January 17, 2003, Executive Committee Meeting which were passed out to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they reviewed the agenda for the February 10, 2003, meeting, the transition ofthe new executive branch in Lansing, and the annual performance review of the Executive Director. 2. Chairperson Mawby explained the process for performance review of the Executive Director and requested that each board member complete the performance review and return it to Jennifer Forbes at the MCSC office. Chairperson Mawby will summarize the results and have a constructive review with Kyle Caldwell. Because Kyle's position is Civil Service, the review does not impact his position and salary. However, it is useful in fulfilling the job and is important to have this communication between the Commission and the Executive Director. It is also important to have it as a part of his personnel portfolio. Mr. Caldwell explained that he wanted 2 �everyone to be frank and honest as the results are used to help the way we do business and try to establish priorities. B. Board Development Committee - Chairperson Mawby 1. Chairperson Maw by discussed the letter of resignation from Commissioner Michelle Engler to Governor Granholm. A response from the Governor's office had not been received, but it was expected that it will be accepted. MCSC will acknowledge appropriately to Michelle our appreciation for the leadership and service she provided. Chairperson Mawby noted a handwritten footnote in the letter where Mrs. Engler noted that she thought Dan Mulhern would find the MCSC a tremendous opportunity to do good things. There is a meeting scheduled with Mr. Mulhern to discuss the MNA, MCSC, and ConnectMichigan Alliance, to give him an overview and to discuss his possibility of becoming a member ofthe Commission. Chairperson Mawby asked for a motion to elect Commissioner Engler to the Leadership Advisory Council of the Commission, which consists of former members of the commission. Commissioner Swain moved to approve the election of Commissioner Engler to the Council. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion and the reconunendation was approved. Motion passed unanimously. C. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner O'Day 1. Governor Service Awards Update. Commissioner O'Day discussed the alternative for the Governor Service Awards dinner, which will not take place this year, due to the new Governor' s transition and budget constraints. Suggestions were made at the December Conunission meeting and the changes were incorporated into the program. The nomination form is available on the website and in hardcopy. Commissioner O'Day explained the best way Commissioners can help is by getting the word out about the change to people who have nominated volunteers in the past as well as people who are interested in nominating volunteers in the future. Commissioners should direct those requesting information to the MCSC website or to call the MCSC office. Also, Commissioners can email or make copies of the nomination form they received to share with as many people that they can, or give the staff names and addresses of those you think may be interested in a nomination form. One of the biggest changes is that we are accepting nominations year round. State Farm has agreed to be a sponsor this year They-are interested in the work that the commission does around youth and service-learning. They 3 �are sponsoring the Governor' s Service Awards nominations that focus on youth, service-learning, and education. Commissioner 0' Day explained that the next step is to put together a Peer Review Panel. Commissioner Macon agreed to serve on the panel. Members of the Outreach Committee and other volunteers will also serve on the Peer Review Panel. The number of peer review panelists will be determined by the number of nominations received so people don't have to review more than 15 or so nominations. Commissioner O'Day explained to help promote the Gov. George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteerism the commission is partnering with the Council of Michigan Foundation and Michigan Nonprofit Association to create a joint nomination form for the Romney Award and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy. This year both awards will be presented at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference on May 20, 2003. A copy of the nomination form was given to Commissioners. There is a deadline for these two awards (March 21 ). The other Governor Service Awards can be nominated anytime. They will be considered by the Peer Review Panel, which will meet quarterly to establish the volunteers that will be recognized for the next few months. The MCSC staff will help to promote GSA by distributing flyers to their database (14,000 individuals) which will direct people to their website or contact the office; mailing the form to all grantees and key stakeholders; working with MNA and CMA, United Way, Council ofMichigan Foundations, Michigan Library, etc. to have them promote on their website and in their newsletters; putting announcements on State of Michigan employee paycheck stubs; promoting on the MCSC's home page; and sending annotmcements out to a variety of list serves. Commissioner Pickard asked the amount of the State Farm donation and was told it was $5,000. Commissioner Barfield asked if that was enough. Kyle Caldwell explained that the program shrinks with the size of the donation. The GSA program and dinner cost approximately $30,000, which covered the event, the printing, etc. Commissioner O'Day asked the amount of the last Ameritech contribution. Kyle Caldwell stated that it declined over time but the last contribution was $15,000. In the first year they underwrote the entire cost and then they capped it at around $12,000 to $15,000, so the MCSC absorbed the additional amount. Ameritech is no longer a sponsor. Kyle Caldwell and Commissioner O'Day stated that the goal of the GSA is to take it out to the communities to build up enough interest and then next year get back on track with a statewide dinner. This year there will be local events that may include the local state representative or senator, or 4 �possibly a media event and hopefully with the Governor, to recognize the GSA winners. It will involve more people in different ways and may end up strengthening the program. Commissioner O'Day handed out updates to the Commisioner Key Information Binders. Chairperson Mawby discussed the upcoming commission meeting on Monday, May 19, 2003. The meeting will take place at the Lansing Center and will begin at 11:00 am. We will join the Grantmakers/Grantseekers lunch at 12: 15 pm, with the guest speaker Mike Farrell from M.A.S .H . After lunch, we will re-convene. He also noted that the annual retreat will be at Brook Lodge on September 11 and 12 and the December meeting will take place in Dearborn. D. Report ofMCSC Designees to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Board of Trustees Commissioner Mawby 1. Update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign Chairperson Mawby asked Dr. John Lore to give the Connect Michigan Alliance (CMA) update. Dr. Lore gave an update on the fundraising activities and distributed copies of a CMA gift snapshot to everyone. This gave a breakdown of the money being raised and the money that has already been raised. Dr. Lore stated that they are within $628,000 from reaching the goal of the $20 million grant. It was suggested by Commissioner O'Day and Jocelyn Yanda to approach athletes that are promentoring, literacy and service-learning to see if they are interested in making a donation. E. Report on Michigan Campus Compact - Chairperson Mawby 1. F. Chairperson Mawby asked Amy Smitter to give an update and overview on the Michigan Campus Compact. She explained that it is a state organization of college presidents that are committing their tmiversities to make a difference in communities and their students in terms of community service, service-learning and civic engagement. The campus compact has 35 members now but is in the process of adding the University of Detroit Mercy. That' s about 40% of higher education institutions in the state. The Campus Compact works with those presidents, faculty, staff and students on those campuses. Volunteer Centers ofMichigan - Chairperson Mawby 1. Chairperson Mawby asked Judy Tymowicz to give brief comments on Volunteer Centers ofMichigan. Judy stated that Volunteer Centers of Michigan have 35 volunteer center members which serve 47 counties in 5 �Michigan. That means that 88% of the population in the state has volunteer centers accessible to the residents in those counties. The mission is community volunteerism and to get all residents involved at the local level. They work with the MCSC through the Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants program, which leverage endowment funds and provide operational funds for volunteer centers who establish to continue their organization. IV. Executive Director's Report - Kyle Caldwell G. Program Updates 1. Volunteer Investment Grants Funding (approval item). Ms. Kaiser explained that at the December MCSC board meeting 12 grants were approved for $659,095. Therefore, we had $121,000 available to allocate in a second round. Immediately following that board meeting staff issued round two guidelines. MCSC received seven applications on January 21, 2003, totaling $335 ,000. All seven applications were reviewed by an external peer review group. From that peer review, five of the seven were recommended for staff review. The staff reviewed those five, totaling $205,000, which exceeded the amount we had available ($121 ,000). The staff recommended that all five be funded and reconm1ended dividing the available amounts by the five organizations. Staff asked the board to approve: Calvin College in the amount of $24,200; Dickinson Iron Community Services Agency in the amount of $24,200; ENRICH oflonia County in the amount of $24,200; Jackson Nonprofit Support Center in the amount of$24,200; and Volunteer Center ofMid-Michigan in the amount of$24,200. A motion to approve the staff recommendations was made by Commissioner O'Day and seconded by Commissioner Seese. Motion passed unanimously. Kyle Caldwell discussed the status ofthe state fimding of the VIG grants. The Commission was recently contacted by its fiscal agency about this particular grant funding. This is the only fund that MCSC distributes that is solely general purpose State of Michigan funding. Originally this was a $1 million annual endowment-building program. As ofFebruary 10, the funding stood at $659,095. In addition, all the grant agreements through the MDCD, our fiscal agency, were held up by the department because of the pending budget cuts. Mr. Caldwell discussed the budget crisis and possible upcoming program cuts. He also explained that the volunteer centers have been notified that the grants were being held. 6 �2. Introduction of MCSC Staff The MCSC staff introduced themselves and the programs they work with. 3. AmeriCorps Kyle Caldwell gave a report on Oakland County AmeriCorps member, Lenny Compton, and his experience at the President's State of the Union address. Lenny was on the news circuit the following day to talk about hjs service. A bio and press release on Lenny was on the MCSC website. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is worbng to craft the next AmeriCorps application. The challenge for the MCSC is that we don 't know how much money we will have to appropriate next year and we are operating our current budget on what are called continuing resolutions (tabng the numbers from last year, freezing them and moving them forward into the current operating year). Congress has extended that until February 20, 2003 . MCSC was currently looking at requests that exceed $8 million. Staff were moving forward with some really good applications, but didn't know what was going to be available. The strategy was to bring forth quality, submit it all, and see what happens. Mr. Caldwell explained the challenge facing AmeriCorps is that the CNCS, for a number of reasons including the rugh demand on AmeriCorps slots as well as an accounting mishap, does not have enough money in the education trust to cover AmeriCorps educational awards so ceased enrollment. This means that programs wruch are funded through us with a January start and would be enrolling members in January and November were unable to enroll members. That is a huge crunch on programs. It also means that programs that lose members will not be able to fill them. The freeze will stay on until the foreseeable future . The Corporation claims that it has enough money to cover current commitments, with roughly about 20,000 that they can bring on slowly. The bigger challenge is that the Trust is somewhere in the area of $40 to $65 million short. Congress is not appropriating large sums of money to go into the endowment trust. So it ' s got to come from somewhere and usually that' s from state cornn1issions. That impacts the $8 million in requests that we ' ll carry forward and be looking at budget cuts into next year. Ms. Kaiser explained that about 60% of the AmeriCorps slots from last year have been filled so there is about 40% for our state alone that are vacant and they are not able to fill them at this time. The majority of our programs started back in September and October so they were able to bring on some of their members. The staff is in continuous contact with our members with the implications on them and helping them to resolve issues as they come up. 7 �# 4. Learn and Serve- Service-Learning Kyle Caldwell explained that the Learn and Serve Work Group met to craft strategy to move forward with our service-learning initiatives. MCSC will be submitting a three-year plan for Learn and Serve in Michigan to the CNCS. We have some preliminary data from RMC research on service-learning and it's impact on MEAP. We talked earlier about State Farm and their support of our service-learning work. They were very excited about doing recognition programs, but they also wanted to get involved deeper in service-learning, in particularly our National Youth Service Day. The MCSC will do a joint conference with the Michigan Campus Compact, the Institute on Service-Learning to be held at CMU where Tom Watkins will be speaking. The work group had given the staff a charge to move forward on some key elements that will be shared with Commissioners at the next commission meeting. 5. Federal Budget Kyle Caldwell explained that the President's FY04 budget calls for an increase to 75,000 AmeriCorps members (50,000 right now). The funding for AmeriCorps had not been introduced nor was there enough funding appropriated in the President's budget to cover the education trust shortfall so there is going to be a need to reconcile some numbers. 6. Office of the Inspector General Audit Kyle Caldwell discussed that the Office of Inspector General published its audit of Michigan for the Corporation for National and Community Service. The preliminary findings show that only 2.2% of the federal funding examined is being questioned. Staff is providing most of the documentation and working with the grantees to get the member files and other records. This is an excellent endorsement of the accounting program at the commission. 7. State of Michigan Budget Kyle Caldwell explained the importance of its state funding in order to broker the $8 million federal funding. There are other state commissions in earlier years that didn't form because they couldn't get the state funding in order to draw down the federal funding. This is a compelling case for why state funding needs to be maintained. 8 �# 8. State of the State Address Kyle Caldwell discussed the areas ofthe Governor's State of the State address that pertained to the MCSC and the work that we do . The Governor also called for the First Gentleman to spearhead the Mentoring Initiatives which could lead to working with the Commission. 9. Financial Statement as of January 1, 2003 . Kyle Caldwell explained that a copy of the statement was included in the Commissioners information. 10. Michigan Citizen Corps Council Kyle Caldwell explained that the Michigan Citizen Corps Council was created under executive order. The idea was to marry traditional volunteer initiatives that we work on with homeland security. The council would meet Tuesday, February 11, 2003, for the first time. The Council will adopt a 3-year plan to get Citizen Corps moving in Michigan. The first item that will be addressed is a new initiative called CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Teams), which is first aid training the volunteers can engage in before First Responders arrive at the scene. Their hope is that every community will have this training in their community permanently. The second item that will be addressed will focus on other programs under the Citizen Corps umbrella including the revitalization of neighborhood watch, working with retired law enforcement and retired medical staff to work in communities as volunteers. Another concern will be that the Governor designate a Homeland Security Director, someone who will be coordinating all of the homeland security initiatives (firemen, state police, biohazard, etc). Mr. Caldwell also explained that tllis initiative is funded with over $500,000 from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He explained that Michigan will pilot this in eight communities across the state, and hopefully new money will come and Michigan will be able to expand in the future. This is a FEMA program that is being reorganized under the new Department of Homeland Security so the MCSC will have to wait to see where this initiative falls out in the next 6-8 months. V. New business- Russ Mawby A. Service as a Strategy White Paper Chairperson Mawby explained that this document shared with the transition team some of the areas where the work of the Commission relates to some of the 9 �priorities of the administration: mentoring, citizen engagement, learn & serve, etc. VI. Public Comment- Chairperson Mawby Commissioner Smith noted the new time and location of next meeting, which is different from the date and time at bottom of the agenda. The meeting will take place on May 19, 2003, at 11:00 am at the Lansing Center during the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference. Kyle Caldwell mentioned that on June 20-21 , 2003, the MCSC will be in Battle Creek for the statewide service project for AmeriCorps. The MCSC will be participating in a Habitat Blitz Build and rehabilitating a park. Chairperson Mawby reminded everyone to return the Executive Director performance evaluations. VII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mawby Commissioner Smith moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Barfield seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 1:57pm. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Speaker Johnson , Democratic Leader Byrum, Majority Leader Sikkema, Democratic Leader Emerson and the members of the state Senate and House; Chief Justice Corrigan and the members of the judiciary, Attorney General Cox, Secretary of State Land, President Straus and the members of the Board of Education , colleagues and friends: Good evening . It has been said that "only challenge produces the opportunity for greatness .": So, Michigan, we are challenged , and this is our time for greatness. In the face of challenge, I relish Michigan's chances for greatness because I am convinced of the tremendous power of the Michigan spirit. Some might wonder whether there can be a single unifying "Michigan spirit" - when we 've got Spartans and Wolverines , Detroiters and Grand Rapidians and Yoopers , Muslims and Jews and Sikhs and Catholics and Protestants, with hunters and hikers , factory workers and philosophers, Ford and GM and Chrysler, Hayworth and Steelcase and Herman Miller, and John Engler and me . In the face of such brilliant diversity, this is our common spirit: Michigan is driven by hard work and innovation that builds wider and stronger bonds of community. We Michiganians came here to work and we are unafraid of working hard . People don 't move here to gamble, lie on the beach, play the stock market, compete ruthlessly or live the easy life. Our Michigan spirit mirrors our classic American one : This is a place of traditions, a wholesome place to raise a family, a place where hard work and good work done well is admired and rewarded. And Michigan doesn 't just work hard, we work smart. We innovate. We explode with creativity. The Mich igan spirit of innovation has spurred thousands of dreams into reality . Teenagers belting out catchy harmonies in West Grand Boulevard basements created the soundtrack of our nation. Kids who sketched Corvettes and T-Birds in school notebooks are today engineering the hybrid vehicles of this century . But nowhere does our spirit soar higher than when hard work is united with innovation -to build stronger bonds of community. Fifty years ago, Michigan took an incredible stand when it triumphed in a challenge of extraordinary political , economic, architectural and physical dimensions . In 1953, the state issued nearly $100 million in bonds so work could begin on a bridge- the Mighty Mac- that would join the two peninsulas of our one state . Today, most of us cannot imagine a Michigan without it. Fifty years ago, almost no one could imagine a Michigan with it. The Bridge literally arose from citizen vision that extended far beyond what politicians and bureaucrats thought achievable . It was built with a magnificent mix of bold design, artistry, courage and sheer ironworker skill. There is no greater symbol of our belief in One Michigan , and no greater testament to the strength of our Michigan spirit. http ://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font... Page 2 of 9 Today , our spirit is being tested in new ways. We boldly wrestle with a competitive and often heartless beast called the global economy. Our country is endangered by terrorists . Our elders are struggling to maintain the dignity they earned after a lifetime of hard work and contribution. Too many children are roughed up instead of built up for this rough world . And Michigan's spectacular natural environment itself is under assault. These dangers outline the challenge of our time , and call anew for the greatness of our Michigan spirit. And in the face of these dangers , I bel ieve the spirit of selflessness , of community in our state has never been stronger. Our citizen engagement is undeniable. Unemployment is up , but that didn't stop nearly 85 percent of our fellow citizens from givi ng to a charity in the last year. The stock market has been battered for over two years , yet during that ti me, Michigan ians created some 200 new charitable foundations- finding new ways to solve old problems . And more than a th ird of our fellow citizens found time to volunteer last year, building webs of community and striking a spark of hope for those in shadowy corners . Today my fellow citizens , I submit to you that whi le the state of our budget is weak, the state of our Michigan spirit is strong . And we will accomplish great th ings through this challenge . The Michigan spirit will propel us forward , and we will progress toward the goals that matter most to Michigan 's people . We will educate our children and we will protect the well-being of our families , despite the budget crisis . Together, we will have to work hard . We will have to innovate, and we will have to act as one community- especially right here in this building . I applaud the Republican leadership of Senator Sikkema and Speaker Johnson for their willingness to work with th is Democrat and Michigan 's Democrats, to move beyond partisanship , faction , friction and ego to achieve common ground . We were elected as Democrats and Republicans , but we serve as Michiganians and Americans. Together, we have inherited one of the most severe budget crises this state has ever known . Th is year the total state budget is $285 million short. I have already asked my department directors to cut their budgets by at least 4 percent and I am as ki ng the Legislature to pass an Executive Order that will carve $158 million from the General Fund budget right now to bring us into balance. Unfortunately, the current school budget crafted last year and based on last year's assumptions has now also come up short. Michigan law requires that our school budget be balanced ... and with good reason . Two weeks ago, the law forced a $127 million cut in school aid. A cut to education is a cut to the heart- to this heart. It was painful , even if mandated by law. The General Fund budget problem we inherit for the budget year ahead is $1 .7 billion . Just how much is $1 .7 billion? Let me give it to you straight. We cou ld close every prison in the state and still not have enough to close the gap . Or, we could close every Secretary of State's office , shut down the Mich igan State Police , lock up every State Park, cut out the entire Legislature , shut down the Attorney General's Office, and shut down the Departments of Ag riculture, Mil itary and Veterans Affairs , Environmental Qual ity, and Natural Resources . . . and still not close the gap . In other words, some twenty percent of the services we now provide through the General Fund budget we cannot afford . It will not be easy, but in March I wi ll present a balanced budget. The fiscal year 2004 budget will ensure that our government lives within its means , but it will have to cut deep to do so . We wi ll work to protect what matters most, but every department, every agency, every local government and every citizen will feel the scale of this problem . You are all invited to be part of the solution . How did we get here? Quite simply, we cut taxes but not spending , and we continue to spend more than we take in . That must stop. You can use your MasterCard to pay your Visa bill , and even transfer that balance to your Discover card , but eventually the bill will come due. Today is Michigan 's due date and we , the Michigan fam ily, must make tough choices to pay the bill and balance the budget. Though I did not create this problem, I will see that we fi x it. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3 ">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 3 of 9 How will we do it? By doing what every Michigan fam ily does when times are tough. We will work harder, cut waste and tighten our belts. We will save every dollar, and we will invest in the things that really matter. We have already started . In my first month on the job, I directed the Department of Management and Budget to review every state contract for cost overruns and potential cost savings. I will direct the Administrative Board -which signs-off on state purchases- to hold up contracts that represent a major expense . And I have asked my Department Directors to cut every contract with an outside vendor by at least 7 percent. I am cutting the fleet of state vehicles by 1 ,000 cars , calling in cell phones and credit cards, stopping subscriptions , co lor copying and pay stub mailings. I have directed each state agency to use up every pad of paper, and sheet of stationery in existence , even if my predecessor's name is on them . I don't need them to say "Granholm." I need them to say that we're giving the taxpayers a frugal government. In these first five weeks on the job , I have focused my attention on the budget, but I have not been consumed by it. Already we have done great work for the people of Michigan. We are giving our citizens a diverse government. I have appointed a cabinet that reflects the true face and the vast mind of Michigan. It is white , black, Asian and Hispanic. It is female and male, freshfaced and veteran . It draws from city and suburb and farm, east and west, north, south and central. We have recruited the best, whether Democrats, Republicans or Independents. And although I'm certain they are all well fed, I know they hunger for change. Diversity gives birth to great creativity. An honored workforce brings forth dedication. Michigan state employees are Michigan 's unsung heroes- men and women who quietly toil to keep the wheels of government turning in good times and bad . Often , the people who know best how to meet a challenge are those who face it on the frontline . We do not see our state employees as the part of the problem, but they are at the heart of the solution . We will aggressively seek their intelligence and input. And they have my deep thanks for giving more in these times of scarcity . I have reached out to engage our citizens with their government. Citizens are providing input through a Medicaid summit on how to repair our broken Medicaid system. Citizens are providing input in Flint through a community summit on how to repair a bruised city. And tomorrow morning, I will officially open to the citizens a Governor's Constituent Services division on the ground floor of the Governor's office . Every month , I will hold office hours so citizens can come and share your ideas directly with me . Later this February, I will go on the road to tell it to you straight and to ask citizens for their input on balancing our busted budget. But let me be very clear, my fundamental message tonight is that we will cut the size of government, and we will move to greatness. The challenge we face is not unique. Whether your business is a titan in the global market or a sub shop in the local mall, you struggle with the double demand; cut costs and improve your products and services. State government is no different. We are fortunate that our business community is answering the call to serve : American Axle , Arvin Meritor, Butzel Long, Delphi , Strategic Staffing Solutions and Visteon have all committed to loan top executives to our state departments to serve full-time as a team of Bureaucracy Busters . They will help us streamline, root out waste and find creative ways to do the people's work. I thank them for their citizen patriotism . But enough about cutting . I'll present a budget message to you in March . Let us turn tonight to what together we can accomplish in spite of the budget. First, we must grow our economy. Last year, Michigan lost 59,000 jobs and we rank in the bottom quarter of all states in terms of personal income growth . Though no state can completely escape the effects of a national economic downturn, Michigan can't afford to wait for federal policy or a national trend to lift our boat. We must do that job ourselves. To this end, I have committed my Administration to create a Technology Tri-Corridor. We will position Michigan to lead the world in the development of the technology-based industries likely to dominate http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3">Michigan : Greatness through Challenge</font... Page 4 of 9 the world economy in this new century. The Corridor will focus new technology business recruitment and development in three critical areas : the life sciences, the automotive industry and the emerging homeland security sector. Already, our Life Sciences Corridor has nurtured the development of cutting edge bio-technology firms and made our state a leader in this important new field . The same emphasis can help us build on our automotive heritage , and grow businesses that keep our citizens, state and country safe. Last week the President committed the federal government to the development of fuel cell powered cars within a generation . As your Governor, I make my own commitment- not only will we build those cars in Michigan , our Automotive Technology Corridor will help develop the fuel cell technology those cars will run on . Wayne Gretzky once offered this advice: "Skate to where the puck is going , not to where the puck is ." My colleagues, the puck is going toward the goal of homeland security, the third sector in the TriCorridor. And Michigan needs to get there quickly - literally to "capitalize" by growing businesses in an area of emerging and critical need . Three economic strengths , three technology corridors. We will use Michigan 's financial power as leverage to bring investment capital to the Tri-Corridor. Today some 240 private investment funds do business with the State of Michigan . Our State Treasurer, Jay Rising , is now telling those fund managers that they'll get more of our business if they make sound investments in our Technology Tri-Corridor. Make no mistake, no one will out-work me, out-run me or out-hustle me when it comes to keeping or bringing good jobs to this state . And I won 't do it alone. In the coming weeks I will ask some of our state's leading business people, labor leaders and economists to serve on my Council of Economic Adv isors . The mission of th is Council will be crystal clear: find ways to ensure that Michigan leads the nation in private investment and job growth . I am pleased that Lansing 's results -driven mayor, David Hollister, has joined us to head a consolidated , streamlined state Department of Labor and Economic Growth . Our goalreplicate his success at revitalizing Lansing in the other urban centers across our state . And we want to create cool cities , hip places to live and work. Perhaps the single most important key to economic development is the one that opens the doors to learning in the minds of our young ones today. In the knowledge economy, business and education are linked ; you cannot succeed at the former if you do not excel at the latter. I assure you , educational excellence will be my number one priority . We will begin with Project Great Start -a broad movement to increase learning in the critical years from birth to age five- because education must begin at birth . Scientific research on the brain is clear: By the time a child arrives for kindergarten , 85 percent of the brain is developed . If the brain is purposefully stimulated and nurtured before a child is old enough to tie his or her shoes , that child 's lifelong capacity to learn will be forever enhanced . And , unfortunately, if it is not, an opportunity is lost forever. The challenge to completely shift our thinking to seize this incredible opportunity is immense. Let the immensity of this shift not deter us, but stir us to concerted action . Project Great Start will link people and institutions all across our state with a common strategy- and uncommon imagination -to achieve a common purpose . Project Great Start will make a huge difference in the lives of our children if we do two th ings and do them well. First, we must focus on educating new parents- before their baby is born , in the maternity ward , at http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3 ">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font. .. Page 5 of 9 check-ups and later at home . No one wants to be a bad parent, but not everyone understands what it takes to be a good one, particularly when it comes to stimulating and nurturing the supple minds of young children . Second , we need to read to children . Educators insist that if we read to every child under the age of five for just one half-hour every day, the change would be revolutionary, the educational achievement in our schools would skyrocket. That simple half-hour act repeated over these five preschool years amounts to a full year of school, and it doesn't cost one cent. Already, many of our Intermediate School Districts are deeply involved in these early childhood education activities and they're making great strides . As I submit my budget, I will ask all 57 of these county-wide and multi-county districts to re-define their mission: to recognize that education begins at age zero; to find ways to educate parents; and to make sure our young children are read to for a halfhour each day . At the same time, I will ask each and every state department that impacts the lives of our children to come together to form the Children's Action Network so that we can coordinate departmental policies to support our parental education and child reading goals . As we engage the full weight of the Executive Branch in this effort, I applaud the leadership of the legislative Children 's Caucus and know that their work will encompass early education. Finally, I will ask Michigan's foundation community, which has already supported important work on this issue in our state, to do even more . We are grateful to our foundations for the support they have given the Ready to Succeed Partnership, the organization that has spearheaded the creation of early childhood learning coalitions across our state . And I know their commitment to this issue remains strong . Our children need a Great Start. Then they need great teachers at every stop on their journey to educational achievement. Michigan 's educators unlock the mysteries of multiplication tables, Shakespeare, photosynthesis and penmanship . In addition to our families, they are the ones who breathe into us the values of hard work, innovation , grit and community. It happens every day. At Roosevelt Elementary, in Room 1. At Central Middle and Renaissance High . Teachers model curiosity, integrity and responsibility. Our teachers and principals create pride of place- teach our children they belong in this class, this school , this city, this Michigan, this America. Please join with me in recognizing Susan Gutierrez, here with us tonight. Mrs. Gutierrez is a teacher at Forest Hills Central Middle School near Grand Rapids and she is Michigan's Teacher of the Year. We thank you and all the phenomenal teachers who are giving their professional lives in service to molding young minds. It is both my profound gratitude to the great teachers in my life, and my absolute certainty that good teaching is the key to our economic wellbeing, that steels this conviction in me: We must give teachers the best tools available in the world to teach better than they imagined they could. Today, I am announcing the creation of the Governor's Education Technology Fund- the GET Funda public-private partnership between the State of Michigan , Intel and others to provide educators with on-line professional development opportunities through the Michigan Virtual University and school districts. Thanks to the GET fund, hard-working teachers wi ll be able to access best practices and continually e x pand their knowledge . While we in Michigan are blessed with an education community second to none , we cannot rely on our educators alone to prepare our children - our state- for the future. Every one of us must find a way to reach out, too . http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<s trong><font color-"#003366" size="3">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 6 of 9 I'm proud that this year, my husband Dan Mulhern will renew the Mentor Michigan initiative that I introduced as Attorney General three years ago . He will spearhead a statewide effort to recruit thousands of citizens to be role models for children who badly need a caring adult. Research proves mentoring reduces youth crime . And we will not stop until every child in Michigan can answer the question- which too many children cannot answer today- "who really and truly takes a special interest in you and believes in you?" Our youngest adults hold the greatest hope, and we will tap their energy, also . We will team high schools with early childhood centers to supply volunteers to read to children for a half an hour a day. It's already being done in districts like Traverse City and it's coming soon in places like Kent and Wayne Counties . In the coming months, I will ask all of our school districts to volunteer to make 40 hours of community service a requirement for graduation from their high schools . We want to raise young people who embrace service to others as a way of life. We must also insist that high schoolers stay in school. I urge you in the Legislature to adopt legislation that will send a clear message to our students: "if you don 't show up in school , you shouldn 't bother showing up at the Secretary of State's office either," because we won 't issue driver' s licenses to chronic truants . Driving is a privilege, not a right. The responsibility of driving a car should be linked to the responsibility of attending school. Finally, we need to take a new approach to using academic achievement scholarships to encourage students to reach higher levels of performance in school. Scholarships shouldn 't just reward those who manage to succeed in our education system today ; they should encourage far greater numbers of students to succeed tomorrow. I have created a Great Lakes, Great Hopes scholarship fund that will guarantee scholarships to middle school students who comm it to graduate from high school and go on to college or another post high school education experience . We'll fund these scholarships with private donations today, and with joint public-private support when our fiscal situation improves . One way or another, we 'll make sure that the doors of educational opportunity swing wide for those with limitless dreams , but limited means . Just as stronger schools are critical to our strategy to build Michigan 's economy, so too are our efforts to create a healthier Michigan . Not only do we need a healthy workforce, but our state's businesses can 't soar if they are we ighed down by runaway health care costs . There are several things we will do today to make Michigan healthier tomorrow. For the first time in this state's history, we will be led by a State Surgeon General , Dr. Kimberlydawn Wisdom, who is here with us tonight and who will focus on rebu ilding our state's public health agenda. She will focus on preventing: lead poisoning, teen pregnancy, obesity, teen smoking, HIV/AIDS and more. Second , we will take concrete action to bring down the high cost of prescription drugs in this state . On behalf of our seniors, we have submitted -just this afternoon -a waiver request to the federal government asking for additional federal funds to expand EPIC , our Elder Prescription Insurance Coverage program . The waiver will allow us to more than double the number of low-income Michigan seniors who can rely on EPIC for comprehensive prescription coverage . I have also instructed the State's Director of Community Health, Janet Olszewski , to begin negotiations with other states to form a multi-state compact for prescription drugs. By leveraging the compact's immense buying power, we expect to cut tens of millions of dollars from our Medicaid drug costs this year. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �~strong><font color="#003366" size="3">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 7 of 9 We will not wait for Washington to act. We will get it done , now. Likewise, the time has come to protect the spectacular environment that beats with the heart of the Michigan spirit. In my Adm inistration , the environment will not be an afterthought; it will be a priority . First, we will no longer allow Michigan to be North America 's dumping ground . Federal law doesn't allow us to ban this trade in Canad ian and out-of-state trash , but we do have the right to insist that trash dumped in our landfills meets ou r standards . I am asking this legislature to act now to pass legislation that will allow us to refuse to accept solid waste loaded with batteries , bottles , cans and toxic substances that jeopardize our health and safety . Our state cannot- and will not - be the nation 's trash can . Second, I stand before you tonight to assure you that I will exercise my authority under federal law to veto any proposed export or transfer of Great Lakes water outside of our Great Lakes Basin . Our water is our defining natural resource -and it should never be for sale. I applaud Senator Sikkema for his leadership on protecting our ground water, and with him I will push for a Michigan water protection statute to prevent the diversion of all of our waters . Third , we will lead in promoting reg ional cooperation . As citizens we are not confined to the county, city or townsh ip lines drawn on a map- our thinking should not be either. We must think regionally about managing our watersheds , about our publ ic transportation systems , about sharing common assets and services among units of governmen t. And th is year, we must finally address the issue of land use. We must develop a cooperative, commonsense approach to how we use our land so we can protect our forests and farms , prevent the sprawl that chokes our suburban commun ities and threatens our water quality, and bring new life to our cities and older suburbs . So I am pleased to join with Senators Sikkema and Emerson , and Speaker Johnson and Leader Byrum to establish a bipartisan Commission on Land Use to ensure that Michigan grows in a way that preserves the character of the state we call home . The Commission will be headed by two men from different parties but with a shared love of Michigan and a comm itment to its future : Governor William Milliken and Attorney General Frank Kelley. Every day the morning news rem inds us of what security really means . It means making sure that ou r famil ies feel safe in their homes and that our homes are safe here in our homeland of Mich igan. Security and safety is the most basic duty of government, one that I take very seriously. That is why I have directed Lt. Colonel Sturdivant, the Director of the Michigan State Police, to coordinate with county and local law enforcement to aggressively go after violent criminals who violate their parole to get them off the streets . Violent crim inals deserve to be in jail -no ifs , ands, or buts . One of the most important steps we can take is to expand the use of drug courts . Drug treatment courts offer a way to break the cycle of drugs and crime . They allow non-violent drug users to serve their sentences not in expensive prisons, but in lower cost facilities that help them tackle their add iction and rejo in society as sober and productive individuals . By some estimates , we cou ld save more than $10,000 per person , per year every time we use this alternative approach . Finally, especially today , no discussion of security is complete without addressing the war on terrorism . With our active and long border and the amount of commerce and number of people who pass through our state, Michigan is on the frontline of the battle to ensure the security of our American homeland . http ://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3 ">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 8 of9 I will create the position of Advisor for Homeland Security within the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to more directly link our security efforts here in Michigan with the country's defense preparations in Washington . We will be ready to answer the nation 's call to service at a moment's notice. The Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division , Office of Public Health Preparedness and the National Guard 's 51st Civil Support Team have already been preparing for a chemical and biological emergency. In the next ninety days, they will jointly conduct a tra ining exercise to test our capabilities to respond to a bioterror even t. Right now, the 14601h unit of the Michigan National Guard has left Michigan for likely deployment overseas . These men and women are not full-time soldiers- they are factory workers and store owners ; teachers and nurses; mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. They are citizens willing to give their time- and God-forbid, their lives, to serve our country. Sgt. Rohnalda Hollon from Beaverton shipped out last week with the 1460 1h. While she serves to protect ourfamilies, her husband Timothy will stay home to raise and protect their own . Tim , the ir 10year old daughter Whitney, and their 7 -month old twins , John and Timothy, are with us ton ight. Tim , you and Rohnalda are both heroes. We salute you and our entire military family for your commitment to our country. In the shadow of these soaring gifts , the sacrifices of our service men and women and the service to country they represent- we too, are challenged to greatness . Will we give to our ch ildren- all of them- their birthright of educational opportunity? Will we protect the soil that we pray our soldiers will soon kneel to kiss? Will we protect the health of our parents and children , the safety of our own cities and villages? We have challenges, but with the full breath of the Mich igan spirit, we will one day sing of a new greatness born in these times . As we face the great challenges that lie ahead , I call on the people of Michigan not to be bystanders . Do not look at children struggling to read and say, "Those aren't my kids ." Do not see seniors struggling to pay for their prescription drugs and say, "Those aren 't my parents." Do not drive by neighborhoods suffering from blight and crime and say, 'That's not my problem." The fact is , they are all problems we share -and we will either tackle them together or suffer the collective consequences . While patriots pack their bags to serve in the name of Democracy overseas , let us give life to the Mich igan spirit here at home. We can win our wars. Life's most satisfying victories are those that seemed impossible, yet gave way in the end to grit and hard work . Life's most dazzling victories dawn when imagination finds a way they said couldn't be found . And the sweetest of all victories arise when those thought to be adversaries together lead to a higher ground . Our call is not unlike that given to the leaders of our troops abroad : the most cherished homecomings occur when we protect those most at risk in ti mes of dark and storm . My friends, I say to you in closing : "We cannot wa it for the storm to blow over; we must learn to work in the rain ."W And that, my friends , is the Michigan spirit. Thank you and good night. : James Kouzes and Barry Posner, The Leadership Challenge.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell 1048 Pierpont, Suite L! Lansing , Michigan 4891 :: Telephone : 5 1 7 . 335.429~ FAX: 517.373.49Ti January 23, 2003 'NWW. michigan .gov/mcsr Honorable Jennifer Granholm Governor of Michigan 111 S. Capital Avenue Lansing, Michigan 48909 Dear Governor Granholm: Congratulations on becoming Michigan's 4ih governor and Michigan's first female Chief Executive! I wish you all the best in this new and challenging endeavor. In addition to my best wishes, I would like to tender my resignation as a member of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), and give you the opportunity to make the appointment. I believe so strongly that you, in your commitment to volunteerism and service, will fill this position with someone who will project your leadership in this field, effectively represent your desire to support volunteerism, and forward your philanthropic views into the work of the MCSC. At the same time, I hope, without being too presumptuous, that you would consider the appointment of someone who serves at the highest level within your administration and can most effectively move the work of the MCSC forward. Actually, I hope that Dan will be available, since I know ofhis commitment to service and outstanding leadership abilities. As you may know, I served as the Chair of the MCSC for nine years, and have continued as a member of the Board for the past three years. During that time, I witnessed the power that one individual can make in the life of another through volunteerism. That was why I was quite pleased to be a part of your Mento ring Michigan program, as it aptly demonstrated this power. What I have come to believe, now more than ever, is that volunteerism doesn't just happen. Successful volunteer programs require support, coordination and continuous attention of trained individuals to keep their ~olunteers effectively and meaningfully engaged. Since 1991, the MCSC has supported hundreds of nonprofit organizations that rely on volunteers to meet the needs of local communities. No matter what the issueseducation, public safety, the environment, housing-the MCSC has provided the "people power" to get things done for Michigan. The MCSC has engaged thousands of �Honorable Jennifer Granholm Page2 January 23, 2003 volunteers who have provided services valued at more than $120 million. In addition, the MCSC provided more than $41 million in federal, state and private sector funds to local communities for volunteer initiatives. As the First Lady ofMichigan and chair of the MCSC, I was able to share with others Michigan's leadership in supporting volunteerism at the local, state and national levels. John and I have spoken to other governors through the National Governor's Association about the tremendously effective tool state service commissions can be to governors' policy making. Michigan has also been able to shape some of the nation's leading volunteer initiatives because of its experience and knowledge, including the creation of AmeriCorps, the President's Summit that created America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth, and most recently, the new homeland security program--Citizen Corps. The MCSC's ability to provide leadership to these initiatives has given Michigan communities an advantage in tapping resources and information to strengthen their volunteer efforts. I hope you agree that Michigan's leadership role should be maintained, and that the MCSC is a great way for your administration to enact your call to citizen action. Michigan's governors have had a long history of supporting volunteer efforts including the late Governor George Romney, but it is only within the last decade that governors across the nation have had state service commissions to further their own philanthropic interests. In California, Governor Davis has been able to move on initiatives like mentoring, homeland security and education initiatives all through the California Commission. In the state of Washington, Governor Locke has leveraged more than $13 million annually to help in forestry programs, rural education initiatives and Native American Fishery programs. In Mississippi, the commission supports the state's largest teacher recruitment program by engaging college students in pre-teacher certification activities. These are all due to their recognition of the power of their service commissions. Please do not interpret my resignation as any sign of unwillingness on my part to support your call to citizen service. In fact it is quite the opposite. I remain willing, as always, to continue to serve Michigan' s citizens. I am certain, however, that the only way for the MCSC to succeed in support of your agenda is for you to have the ability to appoint your greatest champion for volunteerism. Thankyou and Godspeed to you and your family as you embark on your journey as ITbvei-n.orf � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby, Chair Robert Collier, Vice Chair Michelle Engler Vivian Pickard Meg Smith FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: January 21, 2003 RE: Summary of January 17,2003 Meeting Commissioners Smith, Collier and Mawby and staff member Caldwell met via conference call on January 17,2003, at 10:00 a.m. Agenda for Winter Meeting Members reviewed the February 10, 2003, meeting agenda and approved its distribution with minor modifications. State of Michigan Executive Branch Transition Commissioner Mawby explained that he and other commissioners including Commissioner Collier made a number of overtures to the Granholm Administration in hopes of demonstrating the value that MCSC can provide to the Governor's agenda. This was especially important in light of her inaugural address that focused on citizen action and citizen service. Mr. Caldwell shared a white paper that spelled out the work of the MCSC and tied much of the MCSC's initiatives to the points articulated in the Governor's address. The members asked that the paper be modified to more strongly emphasize the MCSC's preference with regard to the administrative location of the organization. Commissioner Collier agreed to share the modified version with his contact within the administration. �Performance Review of Executive Director Members present reviewed the process used to annually review the performance of the Executive Director. Commissioners were informed of the process used in the past that was developed by former Commissioner Pruitt and agreed that the process should be continued. Commissioner Mawby agreed to facilitate the process and would work with staff to distribute, collect and analyze the surveys that commissioners will use to provide their feedback. The process will begin at the February 101h meeting. Other Items Commissioners were briefed on the current State of Michigan budget and the challenges facing the new Governor and the Michigan Legislature. The Governor was expected to issue an executive order to deal with projected revenue shortfalls in the current fiscal year. Mr. Caldwell also reviewed the latest progress of the Michigan Citizen Corps initiative, the AmeriCorps enrollment freeze, federal budget and congressional actions taken to date. Two additional executive committee meetings were scheduled to meet the funding approval requirements of our federal grants: February 26, 2003, and June 20, 2003. Both meetings will be held via conference call and will begin at 10:00 a.m. The meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
