Michigan Alliance for Volunteers Proposal Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of the progress of the Volunteer Alliance and the additional information in commissioners packets regarding the Volunteer Alliance. Mr. Caldwell explained the Volunteer Alliance organizational chart and how the MCSC and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), in partnership, have explored the chart. Mr. Caldwell stated that Chairperson Engler and himself have investigated the legal ramifications of the MCSC engaging in the Volunteer Alliance and that staff are working to secure legal counsel. Mr. Caldwell also stated contact has been made with the Attorney General's office and the MCSC has received clearances to move forward. Mr. Caldwell stated that Sam Singh and himself have introduced the concept to their respective boards and have received favorable feedback. Mr. Caldwell stated that he met with the Governor and the Governor has agreed to include the $10 million in the budget for 2001 and maybe in a supplemental for FY 2000. Mr. Caldwell stated that he now needs direction from the MCSC before moving forward in the form of an approval by the MCSC. 5 �Mr. Singh stated that discussions have taken place between Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Nonprofit Association and these organizations executive committees and their full boards. Mr. Singh stated there is a guarded optimism and that these organizations would like to appoint a person from each entity to meet with the MCSC to work out details and use caution to make sure every detail is covered. Mr. Caldwell led a discussion with commissioners regarding the Volunteer Alliance. Commissioners asked questions concerning how long the whole process would take before the Volunteer Alliance would become a reality, are other states interested in our model for the Volunteer Alliance, what will the Volunteer Alliance look like. Mr. Caldwell stated that there are a number of stages MCSC and MNA will need to take including formally adopting a written plan, securing the leadership that will move the Alliance forward, incorporating the Volunteer Alliance, and identifying financial support. Mr. Caldwell stated that some progress has occurred in two of these areas-identifying fmancial support and incorporating the Volunteer Alliance. In the memo from Dykema Gossett, Sandra Cotter, laid out the steps for incorporating the Volunteer Alliance and securing fiscal designation from the state. In addition, the Governor stated his support for the Alliance and the designation of public funding. Mr. Caldwell stated that the next stage will include the assembly of all the necessary pieces to make a final organization work including securing financial support from the private and public sector, the permanent home for the administrative and fiscal components of the organization. Mr. Caldwell encouraged the MCSC to look at the Alliance as a blank piece·of paper and reexamine the structure of this organization, the existence even if we wish, of this organization, how its funded, how its structured, how its staffed. Mr. Caldwell stated that staff would like to request assistance in four areas. 1. Officially charging the MCSC and its staff with developing the Volunteer Alliance. 2. Empowering the Executive Committee to construct the MCSC' s plan for the Volunteer Alliance. 3. Creating a Fund Development Standing Committee to spearhead the MCSC fund raising for the Volunteer Alliance. 4. Empowering the MCSC staff to secure the necessary outside expertise to develop and implement the Volunteer Alliance. Commissioner Pruitt asked that the staff put together a packet as soon as possible which would include an outline of articles of incorporation, mission, goals and what it will look like. Commissioner Pruitt stated that the Executive Committee from both the MCSC and MNA need to meet to discuss and continue forward with the Volunteer Alliance. 6 �A motion was made by Commissioner McCarthy to approve the MCSC staff request for assistance in the four above areas with one change to #2. It should read as follows: "Empowering the Executive Committee to construct the MCSC' s plan for the Volunteer Alliance and gain the concurrence of a majority of the full membership of the MCSC at the next scheduled meeting or sooner if necessary." Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously VI. New Business - Commissioner Pruitt A. Michigan's Unified State Service Plan Mr. Caldwell gave an update on the Michigan's Unified State Service Plan and explained the documents included in the commissioner packets. These documents are being developed by a number of leaders in the field of service and volunteerism in Michigan over the course of nine months. All partners are hoping that this document is offered as a work in progress and is intended to invite comments, additions and corrections from the field. The intent is to craft a single document that can begin to state Michigan's core principles and practices as they relate to service and volunteerism. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is currently conducting focus groups across the state to see if there are pieces in the plan that can be endorsed by other non-profit organizations whose primary focus is on volunteerism. B. Future Directions for the MCSC Mr. Caldwell explained the "Future Directions for the MCSC" document that was in the commissioner packet- stating that this is an outline of principles that Chairperson Engler recently presented in a speech at the 5th Annual Helen L. DeRoy/Josephine S. Weiner Lecture. Commissioner Pruitt asked commissioners to please review the documents and commit to study the goals and principles. If anyone has questions, please contact Mr. Caldwell before the next commission meeting as commissioners will take action on these items at the next commission meeting. VII. Adjourn Commissioner Pruitt requested that guests introduce themselves and welcomed everyone. Commissioner Pruitt encouraged new commissioners to get involved with the MCSC review process for the different programs. "It's a great orientation!" Mr. Ed Egnatios informed the MCSC that United Way Community Services just published a study of non-profit organizations statewide and that copies are available if anyone is interested. Also Mr. Egnatios handed out brochures on the "Celebrate Volunteers!" recognition program. This program is specifically for Detroit area volunteers and will be held on April 12, 2000.

Michigan's AmeriCorps program get things done for Michigan's citizens. AmeriCorps members in Michigan are volunteer generators and a vital resource in community development and citizenship reengagement. Thousands of members have positively impacted the lives of the young and young at heart through education programs, social services, environmental clean up projects and by making communities safer. In 1998-1999, MCSC administered a total of22 AmeriCorps state programs. Here is what they accomplished. Local Leveraging In one year, 373 full-time Members and 356 part-time Members encouraged 17, 881 non-Member volunteers to serve in local communities. In other words, for each AmeriCorps Member (full-time or part-time), approximately 25 non-Member volunteers were involved in AmeriCorps activities. This figure greatly exceeds the national average of 1:10! Strengthening Communities In 1998-1999, Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs trained and supported 8,404 volunteers, provided volunteer opportunities to 1,706 individuals, and built interagency collaboration among a total of 122 agencies . When questioned about the results of community strengthening activities, respondents listed the following: • The promotion of interagency collaboration resulted in increased sharing of resources and communication among agencies and less duplication of resources. • Efforts in information distribution to the community resulted in greater community awareness of domestic violence, increased knowledge about HIV/AIDS, and increased use of services. Developing Members Nearly all members involved in Michigan's AmeriCorps programs report that their national service experience has had a significant impact on their lives. Some examples include: • Members have realized the difference a few committed individuals can make in the community, as well as the contribution their work can make to a more positive future for the community. • • An overwhelming number of Members showed a commitment to future volunteering . Members' existing career choices were reinforced and they reported an increased likelihood of working in the field of human services. • A significant number of Members went on to full-time employment at their programs or related organizations. • Program Members who were also public assistance recipients enjoyed the opportunity to be successful and to give back to their communities. �Examples of Real Solutions to Real Issues Education In 1998-1999, Michigan AmeriCorps sites recruited and trained 7,417 peer tutors; provided case management for 6,466 students; assembled book collections or maintained libraries for 3,254 students; and provided other student and instructional support for 1,333 students. Results attributable to AmeriCorps educational support and direct services include: • Student grades and reading levels increased, as did student interest in reading. • Washtenaw Family Support Network reported that 95 percent of students tutored in their HOSTS program showed reading gains of 1 to 2.5 grade levels. • Student behavior, attitude toward learning, and attendance patterns improved. • The parenting skills of program participants improved. Human Needs In 1998-1999, 18 AmeriCorps state programs: • provided transportation for 2,970 adults or children; • provided child care for 188 families; • provided case management to 2,993 people; • • • • recruited and coordinated 2,313 volunteers for assistance in human needs issues; organized or staffed community events or benefits attended by 5,794 people; • provided other service support activities benefiting 15,526 people. assessed or identified the specific support needs of 978 people; developed information materials that were distributed to 12,195 people; 2 �Environment In 1998-1999, the 17 AmeriCorps programs reported that they conducted work in neighborhood and public land restoration work. For that same year, it was estimated that services in this area of the environment benefitted about 15,000 people and included the following activities: • • assessed 384 buildings for repair needs, which benefitted 2,609 residents; assessed the maintenance needs of37 miles of park trail and 1,810 acres of wildland areas, directly serving approximately 10,050 people; • • provided safety training on environmental hazards to 225 people; • designed and drew up four plans for picnic areas, community buildings, housing or shelters, distributed information about public safety to 28, 100 people; serving approximately 459 residents; and performed 169 emergency responses, serving about 220 people. Public Safety In one year, AmeriCorps Members: • developed networks among ethnic groups which benefitted 150 people; • conducted neighborhood watch, violence prevention patrols, and child or senior escorts for 700 people; • provided community policing or police relations programs which benefitted 6,096 people; • trained 7,482 students and adults in conflict mediation/resolution; • organized and/or conducted after-school sports and violence avoidance activities for 10,087 students; • counseled 65 individuals about substance abuse prevention; provided safety and victimization prevention information to 4,015 members of the community; • conducted anti-victimization counseling, workshops in violence prevention, or help in negotiating the justice system for 1,400 people; • • conducted child abuse prevention awareness training for 45 people; conducted activities related to juvenile or adult offenders or ex-offenders which benefitted three people; and recruited and/or trained 541 new volunteers. 3 �The Bottom Line In just one year of funding, more than 27 6,000 people in Michigan benefitted from Michigan's AmeriCorps programs including: • 373 full-time AmeriCorps Members and 356 part-time Members served 56,631 students and parents through educational activities; • 67,404 children and adults through human needs activities; • 111,279 people through activities related to the environment; • 30,584 people through public safety activities; • 10,111 people through community strengthening activities in 1998-1999. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The working committee of the Alliance (see participant list attached) is in the beginning stages of negotiations and is beginning to draft the bylaws (see mission statement and progress report attached). Plans for funding are moving forward. The state funds ($1 0 million) may be introduced to the Legislature as early as May, 2000. With regard to private fund raising efforts, Dr. Joel Orosz facilitated a meeting with Dr. Bill Richardson, CEO of the W .K. Kellogg Foundation. Mrs. Engler, Mr. Sam Singh and I were all in attendance along with Dr. Anne Petersen, Senior Vice President for the Foundation. The meeting was productive and may lead to the support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in the future. The Alliance partners are also working on a feasibility study to determine the fund raising capacity of the organizations involved. Our next meeting is April 27, 2000 at 2:00p.m. in the Cabinet Room of the George W.

Romney Lansing, Telephone FAX MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director ofFinance & Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Finance & Administration Division DATE: April 12, 2000 S. Capitol Ave. Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 0 ·' lY"\ The following is a brief update of the current issues facing the Finance and Administration Division. FY 2000 Budget We are now six months or two quarters into the state's budget year. We are still working on finalizing the internal divisions budget for the current Fiscal Year (FYOO). A breakdown of the expenditures for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2000 (January 1, 2000 - March 31 , 2000) will be available at the commission meeting. In addition, our 2nd quarter spending plan, which looks at expenditures verus appropriations, should be completed. The spending plan is one of the documents that helps determine expenditures to date. Administrative Overhead Charges One of the main areas of concern for this year's budget is the administrative charges from the Department of Career Development. As many of you know, MDCD was created out of part of the Michigan Jobs Commission during 1999. With the changes, MDCD has been working on developing a new administrative rate to charge the divisions that make up the department. We have been notified that we will see almost a 100% increase in the overhead charges from last year. This increase will force us to look at many of the processes that we currently do and either delay or scale back the size for this fiscal year. Kyle and I are in discussions with the department to verify the figures. FY 2001 Budget The Fiscal Year 2001 (FYOl) Budget for MDCD has passed in the House ofRepresentatives and is now being taken up in committee by the Senate. A surprise to all of us was an amendment to increase the tobacco settlement payment to the Council of Michigan Foundations. The amendment which passed increased the line item from 6 million dollars to 20 million dollars. �We will be monitoring the amendment in the Senate to see if they will go along with the House amendment. Michigan's AmeriCorps Pre-Audit Survey After what we felt was a very positive exit meeting, we have received three Pre-audit Survey Finding Report letters from the auditors to sign. Based upon the language in the letters, and on the advice of the MDCD auditors, we chose not to sign the letters and instead included individual responses to each finding. This is the first time that any of us, including MDCD's Internal Auditor has seen such a letter or process. Most, if not all of the issues cited were from the first couple of years or on missing information that was supplied to the auditors during their visit. We expect to have the draft pre-audit survey within two weeks and hopefully will have a copy for you to view at the Commission meeting. In discussions with other state commissions, it appears to be the same process. Kyle will explain this process in greater detail in his report. Personnel Matters We have brought on a new Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator, Michael Freeman, interviewed and selected the individual for the Outreach Coordinator. The hiring packet has been forwarded to the Michigan Department of Career Development for processing. We hope to be able to offer this position and have the Outreach Coordinator on staffby the middle of next month. In addition, the Director of Fund Development and Outreach, Lindy Lange resigned to move to Minnesota, and we have started the process of filling the AmeriCorps Administrative Support position vacated by Laura Wieber. We are currently working on setting up interviews for the top candidates for the support position. If you have any questions or concerns that I can help you with, please feel free to call me at (517) 373-8028 or email at grossg@state.mi.us.

Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 --Revised May 10, 2000-TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director/')(. RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: May 10,2000 This report will briefly describe some of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) key staff activities conducted since our January meeting and, in a supplemental report that will be added to your materials at the May 1Oth meeting, request the approval of the Commissioners for staff recommendations for funding for two of our national service programs-Michigan's AmeriCorps and Learn & Serve Community Based Grants-and our state funded Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) program. In addition, staff will be making recommendations for your consideration concerning MCSC' s long range plans including our strategy on funding decisions. For your additional information, attached to this report you will find detailed reports for each department of the MCSC as drafted by their respective directors. Those materials will also be included in a supplemental package. Finally, there are a number of important issues related to the administrative functions of the MCSC that will be highlighted for your information and comment. The MCSC staff are involved in several rather intense, yet remarkably healthy self-examination processes. Included in those have been two major audits, one conducted by the State of Michigan Auditor General's Office and a "pre-audit survey" conducted by a designee of the Office of Inspector General's Office of the Corporation for National Service (CNS). A summary of these examinations is offered in the "Making It Happen" section of this report. Making It Happen Michiean's AmeriCorps Funding Recommendations of Staff* Learn & Serve Community Based Fundine Recommendations of Staff* Volunteer Investment Grants Fundine Recommendations of Staff* * (To be distributed at the May lOth meeting.) �Sustainability One issue that will need to be dealt with soon is our sustainability plan for Michigan's AmeriCorps and other programs that involve subgranting. Specifically, we will need to determine if/when our financial support for current and future grantees will change. You may recall that staff requested your support to include language in our FY 2000 RFPs that noted that the MCSC will be reviewing its policy on funding and that we would be addressing specifically how our funding strategy may change to foster sustainability and develop new programs simultaneously. Notification of this policy change was included in our AmeriCorps RFP for FY 2000-01 . The MCSC staff will need to have an articulated strategy developed prior to the next round of CNS and VIG funding which will begin early next Fall. The MCSC staff request the approval of the MCSC to implement a strategy to develop a comprehensive plan over the summer that will include: • a brief summary of past and current grant making practices, • staff and peer comments op. our goal/needs, and • staff suggestions for grant making strategies for the MCSC that encourage and support effective and sustainable programs. This plan would be developed in conjunction with the members of the commiSSIOn interested in helping us tackle this issue (these could be the same members who showed interest in serving on the Continuous Improvement standing committee of the MCSC at our Fall retreat last year.) and presented to the Executive Committee for their approval so that language may be included in the next round of MCSC applications. Then the Executive Committee would present the plan at the September meeting of the MCSC for concurrence. CNS North Central Cluster Conference On May 1-3, 2000 our colleagues in lllinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa meet to discuss a myriad of issues related to how we support national service. This conference was held at the Double Tree in Romulus and involved over 40 participants from across the cluster and is becoming an annual ritual where staff of state commissions and CNS representatives meet to discuss best practices, new initiatives and potential areas of collaboration. Relevant outcomes will be highlighted at the May lOth MCSC meeting. Audits of the MCSC The MCSC staff have been engaged in two reviews of our program and monitoring systems. The first review was conducted in November by the Auditor General (AG) of Michigan. Out of this two week review came a final report stating that the AG found no material weaknesses and only one area of improvement related to the MCSC. The area identified had to do with timely submissions of reports which the MCSC has already corrected or is in the process of rectifying. In other words, the Michigan Office of the Auditor General said that our systems are fine for the period of October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1998. Portions of that report are attached for your review and consideration. 2 �From January 18- 22, 2000 representatives from the Inspector General of the Corporation for National Service (Urbach Kahn & Werlin, PC) conducted a "pre-audit survey" of the MCSC systems for all years for which the MCSC received Corporation funds (from 1993 to the present). While staff of the MCSC and the Michigan Office of the Auditor General are unclear as to the purpose, scope and repercussions of a "pre-audit survey", we nonetheless have been given preliminary indications that there are only three areas of improvement. A draft report should be available when we meet on May lOth. Several state service commissions have expressed their concerns with the "pre-audit surveys" and how they have been conducted, why they are being conducted and what any findings identified in a "pre-audit survey" mean to an organization participating in this type of examination. The reasons for concern are many and the primary ones are listed below. 1. All state service commissions are subject to the provisions of the single audit act (A-133) which holds that a review conducted under this act should be consistent with other federal reviews and shall serve as a fulfillment of any other federal audit requirement. Additionally, the act provides that any subsequent call for examination must be based on the latest audit. State service commissions are wondering why they are being subjected to additional audits (or preaudit surveys) if they have previously (within the past two years) been reviewed as in our case and in the case of the Florida commission. 2. Neither the auditing firm acting on behalf of the Office of the Inspector General (IG) nor the Michigan Auditor General have ever heard of, nor previously conducted a "pre-audit survey" on any state agency. This begs the question, of all the federal granting programs out there, why state service commissions, the largest of which receives less than $30 million in federal funds? Certainly $300 million in federal funds (the annual appropriations to the CNS) does not deserve this type of special consideration when weighed against the billions of other federal funds allocated to states. Therefore, if the amount of funds is not the issue, what is? According to the auditors representing the IG, this review is designed to help identify potential system weaknesses and define responses to help commissions do their work more effectively while remaining compliant with federal laws. MCSC staff are continuing to operate on that assumption. However, it must be said that other states (South Carolina for example) that have participated in a pre-audit survey, were given by all measures a few minor suggestions for improvement which were then used as justification for a full and complete audit of all of their financial and monitoring systems by the IG. 3 . This combined with a number of abnormalities and curious circumstances which are casting a rather ominous shadow of doubt over the entire process. First, the MCSC was promised a draft report of the "pre-audit survey" result 30 days after the exit interview, conducted on January 21, 2000. To date, the MCSC has yet to receive this report. Second, the MCSC has provided all requested information to the auditors in a timely manner and has documented the transmittal of that information. Additional information requests have been coming in nearly every week since the auditors' visit in January. Yet, on a number of occasions, the auditors claim that they either did not receive the necessary information or that the information requested was incorrectly requested and no longer necessary. 4. Finally, the MCSC staff recently received four "pre-audit survey findings letters" that articulate concerns the auditors have with the MCSC' s systems. These letters request our signature certifying our knowledge of the findings and all the material facts that support these findings. According to a representative from the Michigan Auditor General's Office, it is unprecedented for an auditor to send such a request prior to an organization receiving a draft report. The reason for giving the audited organization a draft copy of the report is so that the agency being reviewed can refute any findings and prove them false prior to any report being published. In essence, we are being asked to admit that we have system flaws without being given the 3 �opportunity to refute the allegation. The MCSC staff and Michigan Auditor General's office disagree with the very nature of the findings and the auditor's interpretation of the federal laws related to the findings. Upon the advice of the Michigan Auditor General's Office, the MCSC staff refused to sign the "pre-audit survey finding letters" and instead sent detailed responses to each finding with an explanation for how the identified weaknesses were already being addressed or were incorrect interpretations of federal law. The MCSC staff remain eager to discuss how the current systems can be improved, but cannot allow the current questionable auditing processes by the Inspector General's Office to continue without an official response. In conjunction with the Michigan Auditor Generals Office, the MCSC staff sent responses to each and every one of the "pre-audit survey findings" letters (see copies attached). Staff will continue to monitor this process and keep Commissioners informed as new developments arise. On May 4, 2000, the MCSC received a copy of the draft report on the pre-audit survey. Based on two findings, the draft report calls for a full scope financial audit of the funds awarded to the MCSCfor 1995 through the current program year. Despite the conclusions of the Michigan Office of the Auditor General audit for FY 1996 through FY 1998. The entire pre-audit survey process is questionable at best. According to the Michigan Office of the Auditor General, no pre-audit survey has ever been conducted on any federal funds awarded to Michigan. The pre-audit survey findings are based on incorrect assumptions and greatly inflated. Finally, the pre-audit survey process conducted by Urbach Kahn & Werlin, PC are highly suspect given their short visit and broad findings. It is important that the MCSC ensure that it has adequate, if not exemplary, systems in place to ensure that it is in compliance with state and federal law and delivers the best quality services possible. Given that the MCSC is receiving conflicting information, the MCSC staff recommend that it broker the services of a credible third party to assess the accuracy and validity of the preaudit survey conducted on the MCSC and provide useful feedback on how it can incorporate recommendations into its operational systems. Legislative Briefing Packet Last year the staff developed a briefing packet for commissioners so that they could contact their state elected officials about programs and initiatives of the MCSC. This was especially important in preparation for our Legislative Breakfast last year. Although we have postponed the Legislative Breakfast, staff felt it was still important to provide you with the most up-to-date information, therefore a customized briefing will be delivered to you at the May 1Oth meeting. Volunteerism Superconference Just a reminder that the Volunteerism Superconference 2000 will be held in Lansing at the Lansing Center on May 18 & 19, 2000. Former First Lady, Barbara Bush will be the featured speaker. As always, we will be hosting the Governor's Service Awards on the opening evening and all members of the MCSC are invited and encouraged to attend. Staffing Changes There have been a number of staff changes at the MCSC since our January meeting. First, Ms. Lindy Lange, a six-year employee of the MCSC, left for Rochester, Minnesota on April 7, 2000. Lindy has provided true leadership and steadfast dedication to the MCSC and we will miss her tremendously. 4 �Ms. Mary Grill, our Communities of Promise Coordinator for the past year, will be standing in as Acting Director of Outreach and Fund Development (O&FD). Adding to the O&FD staff is Liz Clemenshaw who has been offered and has accepted a position with the MCSC as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow (see resume attached). You may recall that the MCSC approved one AmeriCorps Promise Fellow position for the MCSC this year. You may have had the opportunity to meet Liz already, she has been serving as an MCSC intern with the staff this past year. Liz has wrap up her work as an intern and officially begin her year of service as a Fellow on Thursday, April 13th. Liz has been with us on a part-time basis until she graduates from MSU and then will come on board full-time on May 9th. Two other additions to the MCSC include: Michael Freeman who joined us in February to replace Phil Chvojka as the Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator.

Capitol Ave. George W. Romney Bldg ., 4th Floor Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone (517) 335-4295 FAX (517) 373-4977 Executive Di rector Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Executive Director' s Report DATE: April 14, 2000 This report will briefly describe some of the key Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff activities conducted since our January meeting and, in a supplemental report that will be added to your materials at the May 1Oth meeting, request the approval of the Commissioners for staff recommendations for funding for two of our national service programs-Michigan's AmeriCorps and Learn & Serve Community Based Grants-and our state funded Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants program. In addition, staff will be making recommendations for your consideration concerning MCSC's long range plans including our strategy on funding decisions. For your additional information, attached to this report you will find detailed reports for each department of the MCSC as drafted by their respective directors. Those materials will also be included in a supplemental package. Finally, there are a number of important issues related to the administrative functions of the MCSC that will be highlighted for your information and comment. The MCSC staff are involved in several rather intense, yet remarkably healthy self-examination processes. Included in those have been two major audits, one conducted by the State of Michigan Auditor General's Office and a "pre-audit survey" conducted by a designee of the Office of Inspector General's Office of the Corporation for National Service (CNS). A summary of these examinations is offered in the "Making It Happen" section of this report. Making It Happen Michi~:an's AmeriCorps Fundin~: Learn & Serve Community Based Recommendations of Staff* Fundin~: Volunteer Investment Grants CVIG) Recommendations of Staff* Fundin~: * (To be distributed at the May lOth meeting.) Recommendations of Staff* �Sustainability One issue that will need to be dealt with soon is our sustainability plan for Michigan's AmeriCorps and other programs that involve subgranting. Specifically, we will need to determine if/when our fmancial support for current and future grantees will change. You may recall that staff requested your support to include language in our FY 2000 RFPs that noted the MCSC will be reviewing its policy on funding and that we would be addressing specifically how our funding strategy may change to foster sustainability and develop new programs simultaneously. Notification of this policy change was included in our AmeriCorps RFP for FY 2000-01. The MCSC staff will need to have an articulated strategy developed prior to the next round of CNS and VIG funding which will begin early next Fall. The MCSC staff request the approval of the MCSC to implement a strategy to develop a comprehensive plan over the summer that will include: • a brief summary of past and current grant making practices, • staff and peer comments on our goal/needs, and • staff suggestions for grant making strategies for the MCSC that encourage and support effective and sustainable programs. This plan would be developed in conjunction with the members of the commiSSion interested in helping us tackle this issue (these could be the same members who showed interest in serving on the Continuous Improvement standing committee of the MCSC at our Fall retreat.) and presented to the Executive Committee for their approval so that language may be included in the next round of MCSC applications. Then the Executive Committee would present the plan at the September meeting of the MCSC for concurrence. CNS North Central Cluster Conference On May 1-3, 2000 our colleagues in illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa will meet to discuss a myriad of issues related to how we support national service. This conference will be held at the Double Tree in Romulus and will involved over 40 participants from across the cluster and is becoming an annual ritual where staff of state commissions and CNS representatives meet to discuss best practices, new initiatives and potential areas of collaboration. Relevant outcomes will be highlighted at the May lOth MCSC meeting. Audits of the MCSC The MCSC staff have been engaged in two reviews of our program and monitoring systems. The fust review was conducted in November by the Auditor General (AG) of Michigan. Out of this two week review came a final report stating that the AG found no material weaknesses and only one area of improvement related to the MCSC. The area identified have to do with timely submissions of reports which the MCSC has already corrected or is in the process of rectifying. In other words, the Michigan Office of the Auditor General said that our systems are fine for the period of October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1998. Portions of that report are attached for your review and consideration. 2 �From January 18-22,2000 representatives from the Inspector General of the Corporation for National Service conducted a "pre-audit survey" of the MCSC systems for all years for which the MCSC received Corporation funds (from 1993 to the present). While staff of the MCSC and the Michigan Office of the Auditor General are unclear as to the purpose, scope and repercussions of a "pre-audit survey", we nonetheless have been given preliminary indications that there are only three areas of improvement. A draft report should be available when we meet on May 1Oth. Several state service commissions have expressed their concerns with the "pre-audit surveys" and how they have been conducted, why they are being conducted and what any findings identified in a "pre-audit survey" mean to an organization participating in this type of examination. The reasons for concern are many and the primary ones are listed below. 1. All state service commissions are subject to the provisions of the single audit act (A-133) which holds that a review conducted under this act should be consistent with other federal reviews and shall serve as a fulfillment of any other federal audit requirement. Additionally, the act provides that any subsequent call for examination must be based on the latest audit. State service commissions are wondering why they are being subjected to additional audits (or pre-audit surveys) if they have previously (within the past two years) been reviewed as in our case and in the case of the Florida commission. 2. Neither the auditing firm acting on behalf of the Office of the Inspector General (IG) nor the Michigan Auditor General have ever heard of, nor previously conducted a "pre-audit survey" on any state agency. This begs the question, of all the federal granting programs out there, why state service commissions, the largest of which receives less than $30 million in federal funds? Certainly $300 million in federal funds (the annual appropriations to the CNS) does not deserve this type of special consideration when weighed against the billions of other federal funds allocated to states. Therefore, if the amount of funds is not the issue, what is? According to the auditors representing the IG, this review is designed to help identify potential system weaknesses and define responses to help commissions do their work more effectively while remaining compliant with federal laws. MCSC staff are continuing to operate on that assumption. However it must be said that other states (South Carolina for example) have been participated in a pre-audit survey, were given by all measures a few minor suggestions for improvement which were then used as justification for a full and complete audit of all of their financial and monitoring systems by the IG. 3. This combined with a number of abnormalities and curious circumstances are casting a rather ominous shadow of doubt over the entire process. First, the MCSC was promised a draft report of the "pre-audit survey" result 30 days after the exit interview, conducted on January 21, 2000. To date, the MCSC has yet to receive this report. Second, the MCSC has provided all requested information to the auditors in a timely manner and has documented the transmittal of that information. Additional information requests have been coming in nearly every week since the auditors' visit in January. Yet, on a number of occasions, the auditors claim that they either did not receive the necessary information or that the information requested was incorrectly requested and no longer necessary. 4. Finally, the MCSC staff recently received four "pre-audit survey findings letters" that articulate concerns the auditors have with the MCSC' s systems. These letters request our signature certifying our knowledge of the findings and all the material facts that support these findings. According to a representative from the Michigan Auditor General's Office, it is unprecedented for an auditor to send such a request prior to an organization receiving a draft report. The reason for giving the audited organization a draft copy of the report is so that the agency being reviewed can refute any findings and prove them false prior to any report being published. In essence, we are being asked to admit that we have system flaws without being given the opportunity to refute the allegation. The MCSC staff and Michigan 3 �Auditor General's office disagree with the very nature of the findings and the auditor's interpretation of the federal laws related to the fmdings. Upon the advice of the Michigan Auditor General's Office, the MCSC staff refused to sign the "pre-audit survey finding letters" and instead sent detailed responses to each fmding with an explanation for how the identified weaknesses were already being addressed or were incorrect interpretations of federal law. The MCSC staff remain eager to discuss how the current systems can be improved, but cannot allow the current questionable auditing processes by the Inspector General's Office to continue without an official response. In conjunction with the Michigan Auditor Generals Office, the MCSC staff sent responses to each and every one of the "pre-audit survey findings" letters (see copies attached). Staff will continue to monitor this process and keep Commissioners informed as new developments arise. Legislative Briefmg Packet Last year the staff developed a briefmg packet for commissioners so that they could contact their state elected officials about programs and initiatives of the MCSC. This was especially important in preparation for our Legislative Breakfast last year. Although we have postponed the Legislative Breakfast, staff felt it was still important to provide you with the most up-to-date information, therefore, a customized briefing will be delivered to you at the May 1Oth meeting. Volunteerism Superconference Just a reminder that the Volunteerism Superconference 2000 will be held in Lansing at the Lansing Center from May 18 to May 19. Former First Lady, Barbara Bush will be the featured speaker. As always, we will be hosting the Governor's Service Awards on the opening evening and all members of the MCSC are invited and encouraged to attend. Staffing Changes There have been a number of staff changes at the MCSC since our January meeting. First, Ms. Lindy Lange, a six-year employee of the MCSC, left for Rochester, Minnesota on April 7, 2000. Lindy has provided true leadership and steadfast dedication to the MCSC and we will miss her tremendously. Ms. Mary Grill, our Communities of Promise Coordinator for the past year, will be standing in as Acting Director of Outreach and Fund Development (O&FD). Adding to the O&FD staff is Liz Clemenshaw who has been offered and has accepted a position with the MCSC as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow (see resume attached). You may recall that the MCSC approved one AmeriCorps Promise Fellow position for the MCSC this year. You may have had the opportunity to meet Liz already, she has been serving as an MCSC intern with the staff this past year. Liz will wrap up her work as an intern and will officially begin her year of service as a Fellow on Thursday, April 13th. Liz will be with us on a part-time basis until she graduates from MSU and then will come on board full-time May 9th. Two other additions to the MCSC include: Michael Freeman who joined us in February to replace Phil Chvojka as the Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator. Michael comes to us from Flint, where he worked with the housing community. And fmally, Kathie Vasilion gave birth to a baby girl-Keyana Roshel Robinson- on January 24,2000. We welcome all of our additions to the MCSC family. 4 �Executive Director's Report (cont.) Insights on the Vision Staff Recommendations for MCSC's Future The staff of the MCSC have been working to address several issues related to our future including those raised by the Commissioners at our Fall retreat and implications of the Alliance development. We believe that we have made significant progress on developing a general plan for how the MCSC should modify its goals and operating principles to place it in a position to effectively respond to our ever-changing environment. The staff would like your input on the following general recommendations. MCSC as a Grantmaker The MCSC should focus on its role and expertise as a governmental agency that utilizes its vast fmancial and human resources to effectively, proactively and efficiently disburse public funds to Michigan communities to enhance their ability to solve problems through service. This will require a fundamental shift in our organizational thinking. No longer will the MCSC be "all things to all people, places and things." Much like a philanthropic institution, the MCSC will seek to find the most effective way to expend (invest) its financial resources for the public good. This method would include: • leveraging other funds in support of volunteer efforts; • investing in long-term solutions that can have positive effects in perpetuity; • setting priorities (what social issues should be targeted) for annual or long-term investments in service and volunteerism; • allocating resources for demonstration projects from which the public may learn important lessons and develop more creative solution but which will have a life outside of theMCSC; • evaluating the outcome and results of MCSC investments based on its own interests rather than those of a specific program (i.e. measuring the impact of National Service programs in Michigan based on the Corporation for National Service's [CNS] interests); • defining sustainability and expectations for all MCSC grantees (What type of grantmaker do we want to be? When has our investment been enough and successful?). MCSC as the Standard Setting Mechanism for Government Sponsored Service and Volunteerism The MCSC is often referred to as by the Governor of Michigan and the Michigan Legislature as the state's lead agency on service and volunteerism. While this mandate is not written in the statute that formed the MCSC, it is a widely shared interpretation of the MCSC' s role as stipulated in the annual analysis of the MCSC' s budget by the House and Senate Fiscal Agencies and the Governor's Office. To date, this role has been confined to the MCSC's role as a fiscal and administrative agent of state allocated CNS funds. However, there is much more that can be done to fulfill this role. 5 �The MCSC staff recorrunend that the MCSC annually publish a standards policy for quality service and volunteerism in Michigan that would be developed by the field through focus groups, surveys and conferences on best practices. Many of these standards exist in various forms today, but are not annually examined nor universally enforced. This role of facilitating and publishing Michigan standards would require that the MCSC be charged with helping other state agencies examine their current volunteer management systems and encouraging them to modify them to comply with the state accepted standard(s). Over time this process could lead to a publication (Michigan Standards for High Quality Service and Volunteer Programs) that could even help to define the lexicon of the field to provide more standardized language (for example, distinguishing between corrununity service and courtmandated corrununity service). In the short-term, the MCSC would focus on its current funding relationships including CNS programs and VIG. Ultimately, the MCSC would be charged with facilitating and providing guidance to all state-sponsored volunteer programs including those administered by other state departments such as the Department of Education, Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Natural Resources, Family Independence Agency, and Office of Services to the Aging. MCSC as the "Michigan Governmental Lead Agency for Service and Volunteerism" As mentioned previously, the MCSC is often referred to as the state's lead agency on service and volunteerism, but it is not structured in a way that empowers it to fulfill that charge. Currently, the MCSC administers approximately $5 million of the total $12 million federal (CNS) funds for Michigan and only $1 million of the well over $11 million state funds allocated for various state agencies to advance volunteerism. Yet, at the same time, the MCSC is often seen as the agency that has some part in how those funds are expended. Such is clearly not the case now. Hence, the MCSC needs to help define what it means to be the state's lead agency for service and volunteerism. Staff recorrunend that the MCSC work toward helping leverage, focus and maximize the state's $23 million investment in service and volunteerism. For example, the MCSC could host a discussion forum annually to help state agencies set funding priorities for the state and federal funds. MCSC staff feel certain that the current state and federal service and volunteer funding mechanisms are not as intertwined and as focused as they might be. With resources to come together and develop unified strategies, this issue could be addressed. By the same token, staff have made tremendous strides in forming effective and productive partnerships with nearly all of the state's service and volunteer programs. The formation of the Alliance is a true testament to the ability of the MCSC to build effective coalitions based on mutual trust and respect. However, just as in the aforementioned examples, there are currently five different state departments targeting similar and different service and volunteer initiatives, while also running parallel service and volunteer grantmaking, technical assistance, supervision, and monitoring process simultaneously. This means that five different, yet similar financial, monitoring, auditing, training, and support systems all within the State of Michigan are not working closely together toward similar goals or priorities. The MCSC staff recorrunends that we convene the related state governmental agencies to discuss how we may build efficiencies and new opportunities and target similar goals. MCSC's Promotion, Marketing and Research of Michigan Service and Volunteer Efforts At the last retreat, the MCSC members clearly stated that they wanted to see more promotion of the MCSC and its programs to the public. This has been a continual challenge for staff. On the one hand the MCSC has prided itself on its ability and willingness to engage in and form non-territorial alliances and partnerships. Staff have interpreted this to also mean continuing to display a healthy amount of modesty with regard to self-serving public accolades which may have led to a lack of public awareness around the good work of the MCSC. 6 �In addition, the MCSC has always stressed local empowerment and local control which has encouraged staff to provide more public recognition to programs and individuals rather than to the MCSC itself. On the other hand, the MCSC has worked to publicize its efforts through the ConnectMichigan Campaign, Michigan's AmeriCorps programs and various national days of service including Make A Difference Day. While all very successful, they have done more to raise the profile of the service and volunteer field in Michigan as opposed to working to raise the profile of the MCSC and its grantees. MCSC staff recommend adopting the model traditionally used by other state departments like the Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH). This model stresses public awareness around issues, facts and desired behaviors all promoted through traditional forms of communication (TV, print and radio ads) with a tag line that identifies the sponsoring state agency. In addition, staff recommend that the MCSC and its work be marketed much as MDPH does through research and data dissemination. In other words, the MCSC would research and publish data about the health, benefits and need for service and volunteerism in Michigan communities as supported through state and federal funds (of course, the MCSC would also research the effectiveness of its own programs). This research would be packaged as user guides and annual publications that could be used by other state and private human service agencies to target their resources and focus their programming. Again, the MCSC would disseminate the information and be credited for its creation and publication. This model also aligns well with the aforementioned goal around MCSC not directly delivering services, but rather as a grantrnaker, it focuses its efforts and resources on helping others to solve their problems locally and doing so by providing factual and credible data. This particular model also fits well with our plans for the Alliance as it becomes the mechanism by which much of the public awareness around service and volunteerism is completed and the MCSC (as a grantmaker) can provide the financial resources to make it happen as well as the factual data upon which Michigan's public awareness campaigns are based. As an example, the MCSC could assign resources to annually assess the "health" of service and volunteerism in Michigan communities on a county-by-county basis. This data would be collected and analyzed by qualified researchers and act as an annual barometer for how, why and how often people volunteer and the needs of volunteer and volunteer oriented organizations. In addition, this data could act as a valuable tool for nonprofits as they seek support from funders for volunteer initiatives. Each year the study might address a specific issue (education, health, safety, culture and the arts, etc.) that the volunteer resources of Michigan might target or examine. This approach of research and marketing of critical data is not new. Public health organizations have been engaged in this type of activity for years. Their work has made significant changes in human behavior including increasing immunizations against childhood illnesses, reduction in auto accidents and injuries with seat belt usage, and declines in deaths from breast cancer through early screening and intervention. If we truly believe that people can effective problem solve through service and volunteerism, we will have to prove it. The only way we can prove it is to back up our claim with facts. The only way we can get the facts is through effective research. The MCSC staff recommend that we invest in developing and publishing that research. By engaging in this type of outreach, the MCSC can provide a valuable resource and would be seen as an authority on service and volunteer efforts in the state and not just a pass through for state and federal funds. 7 �What's Next? The MCSC staff would like your input. Do you feel that our assumptions and proposed solutions are the right ones and why? If not, why not? Clearly, even if we are all in agreement that these are the proper goals to adopt to institutionalize service and volunteerism in Michigan, there is a great deal of work to be done to determine the costs, feasibility and resistance points of such plans. However, as staff have pointed out with regard to the development of the Alliance concept, we must move while we have the momentum and the initiative. Given the size, scope and magnitude of this conversation, the MCSC may wish to review this material and discuss this topic in greater depth at the September 15, 2000 meeting. Thank you. 8 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Cap ito l Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the MCSC Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Summary of March 24, 2000 Conference Call DATE: March 25, 2000 The following is a brief summary of the conversation held on March 24, 2000 from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m .. Ms. Julie Cummings and Mr. Terry Pruitt were the members participating in the call. Meeting Rescheduling The April27, 2000 commission has been rescheduled for May 10, 2000 and will be held in the Michigan Room of the George W. Romney Building in Lansing at noon. The Governor's Service Awards will be held on May 18, 2000 at the Lansing Center as previously scheduled. Executive Committee Report Participants reviewed the information related to the Alliance and offered suggestions that should be incorporated into the planning documents of the Alliance. 1 . Draft Bylaws - The bylaws appear well developed in most of the areas. The participants expressed a desire to broaden the number and types of members to the board to provide more representation to organizations and constituents not joining in the Alliance organization (ie United Way, Council of Michigan Foundations, faith-based institutions, the Governor etc.) Also, the participants needed clarity on how members of the board could be represented--can a member send a proxy? 2 . Dissolution - The participants agreed that the Dissolution article should stipulate that any of the Founding Trustee organizations may withdraw from the Alliance, but they take with them only those assets they had prior to joining the Alliance. All principle and proceeds of the endowment would remain with the Alliance. �Board Development Report Participants agreed with the recommendations articulated in the Board Development report and suggested that it be brought before the full commission. Staff Recommendations for Change Future Directions of the MCSC - Participants expressed a concern that the recommendations by staff appeared to explain how the MCSC might continue itself rather than asking, "We [MCSC] have been working for eight years and this is what we have done. Now, we need to see if there is a need for us to continue and if so, how." Mr. Caldwell explained that the staff recommendations were meant to be an examination of mission, purpose and need, but realized that the document before the participants did not accurately reflect that thinking. Mr. Caldwell will modify the document before presenting before the full membership of the MCSC. Other more specific comments were offered targeting staff recommendations for marketing, standard setting and collaboration building. 1 . Marketing and Research - Mr. Caldwell explained that staff recommend that the MCSC change its "marketing for the field approach" to take on the task of marketing changes in behavior. Utilizing the Michigan Dept. of Health model, the MCSC would research individuals' behaviors, analyze the data to determine how best to market the data to make for positive behavior changes in specific populations (for example, youth involved in violent activities). Participants suggested going to existing data sources and institutions collecting data on targeted behaviors and partnering to create a marketing strategy. 2. Standard Setting - Participants expressed a concern that what staff may be proposing may become bureaucratic and regulatory. They suggested that the MCSC convene dialogues around best practices. Mr. Caldwell further explained that the intent was for the state and federal sponsored volunteer programs to have a "gold standard" for service and volunteerism in Michigan including modifying the lexicon of the public to recognize the accepted terminology of the field (ie community service vs. court-mandated community service). Participants suggested that a conference called by the Governor might help bring the state governmental agencies working in the volunteer arena together and encourage them to share best practices and forge stronger partnerships. Mr. Caldwell stated that for any of these recommendations to work, more resources would be needed. Participants suggested that the staff seek to leverage existing resources from agencies and organizations conducting parallel types of tasks. The meeting ended at 10:45 a.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

During the 1998-99 program year, 20 members completed 12,350 groundwater assessments and established groundwater stewardship teams in 38 counties. Working with these teams, members identified local needs, coordinated water protection efforts, and involved local residents. Members provided presentations to 932 farmers and 7,562 homeowners. In addition, they provided groundwater education to 12,500 students and distributed resource directories to 20,000 families. Members recruited 168 volunteers to conduct assessments and 570 community members to serve on stewardship teams. Two Retired and Senior Volunteer Programs Gaylord and Grand Rapids Four Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteers in Otsego County and 40 in Kent County donated hundreds of hours assisting with safety and handicap ordinance enforcement this year. Volunteers are highly trained and generously supported by law enforcement officials. In Otsego County, compliance with the handicap parking is up by at least 20 percent. This is similar to what has been reported in Kent County in the past two years. More than 100 RSVP volunteers serve in law enforcement assistance statewide. AmeriCorps Oakland Rochester The AmeriCorps Oakland program, based in Rochester, consists of 40 students serving in the Pontiac community.

Whether fighting natural disasters or the human disaster of drugs and youth violence, AmeriCorps is tackling some of our country's toughest problems." James Witt, Director, Federal Emergency Management Agency "I would like to congratulate you and every member of Copper Country AmeriCorps program ... These bright intelligent people were so successful, the program received additional funding for more volunteers .... This program is a perfect example of what is great about the Copper County region: people who want to make the investment in their community and improve their lives, one at a time." U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, in a letter to the Director of Copper Country AmeriCorps Campfire Boys and Girls, West Michigan Council Grand Rapids The members of this AmeriCorps program provide service opportunities and structured activities to more than 400 children. Last year, members helped the West Michigan Council open a new after-school neighborhood site. In addition, members helped develop new enrichment activities focusing on music appreciation.

EightCAP, Inc., Foster Grandparent Program Greenville Sixty Foster Grandparents participated in America Reads initiatives last year. These Foster Grandparents expanded service into seven Mecosta County elementary schools. Schools were able to utilize pre- and post-testing of students and place the poor readers with Foster Grandparents for one-on-one attention and tutoring. In collaboration with an AmeriCorps*NCCC team assigned to Michigan, Foster Grandparents served the women's shelter in Greenville. The 13-member NCCC team upgraded the building and served alongside Foster Grandparents in the classroom, teaching the students important lessons about abuse and protection. Copper County AmeriCorps Upper Peninsula Copper County AmeriCorps members have initiated and improved several youth initiatives. Through the program's Teen Initiative, members have involved more than 700 youth in regularly scheduled lunch-time, after-school, and weekend recreational and sports activities in order to reduce juvenile delinquency, truancy, and dropout rates. They were instrumental in creating the Baraga County Youth Recreation Program for 125 local 6- to 17-year-old youth. The program is the first of its kind in the area and provides much needed constructive activities for local youth. In addition, more than 2,000 students have received substance abuse prevention training and signed alcohol abstinence pledge cards, and 770 local school-age youth have participated in environmental education programs.

Very simply, service is essential to strengthen and expand the civic infrastructure in our country." William Richardson, president and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek "You can't imagine the lives you've changed by helping those in need." Mayor Dennis W. Archer addresses AmeriCorps members serving in Detroit, Michigan. Creston Neighborhood Association Grand Rapids Violent youth crime and gang activity in Grand Rapids' urban neighborhoods have young people in the Creston neighborhood concerned about the well-being of their community. With this in mind, the 12- to 14-year-old members of the Kid's Co-opffeam Up Creston, a Learn and Serve America grantee, have done their part to lessen the public impact ofyouth gangs and crime through ongoing service projects. The projects include regular clean-ups of several neighborhood parks, painting a mural on a large retaining wall that was regularly covered with graffiti, and helping organize a neighborhood crime prevention celebration that attracted 400 neighbors. Through this process, the students gained valuable leadership skills that will assist them throughout their lives and academic careers. Kent County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program Grand Rapids In 1997, 28 Retired and Senior Volunteer Program volunteers helped police monitor 1,000 homes and issue 600 handicapped parking citations. The volunteers were also credited with saving two lives through reassurance checks to homebound seniors.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Finance & Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Finance & Administration Division's Report DATE: April 11, 2002 n _{)·1 The following is a brief update of the current issues facing the Finance and Administration Division. FY 2002 Spending As oftoday, the State's accounting system has not closed out the second quarter of the fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2002. I expect the quarter to be closed by April 15 and I will be able to run reports the following day. I will hand out the comparative financial statement ending March 31,2002 at the Commission meeting on April29. FY 2003 Budget Process Our budget has passed through the House and is just starting in Committee in the Senate. At this point, we have not had any further changes to our budget. We are hoping that the budget will go to the full Senate by the middle of May. Federal Audit There have been major changes during the last couple of months regarding our CNS audit. First, the Auditor General was replaced and the scope of our audit was officially cut back. Instead of being audited from 1994 to the present, the new AG has cut back the scope of the audit to 1998 and forward. This has been a huge benefit for us. Some of our programs from the early years were having a hard time producing records. Many were operating on the federal retention timetable of3 years past the end of the grant and had disposed of their records. And, second, we had our on-site audit of the Commission. Cotton and Company was on site from March 4th through the 15th_ The on-site audit went very well and we were extremely �pleased with the comments and observations during our informal exit meeting. At this time, no formal results are available but we did get some good suggestions at the meeting for changing and updating our current procedures. In addition, the audit firm is finishing up the sub-grantee audits in the field. In the last couple of weeks, they have visited the Family Independence Agency and the Department of Agriculture. With the smaller scope of the audit, we expect that the timeframe for completing the audit will be shortened, as Cotton and Company were able to cut out some sub-grantee audits that were outside the new timeframes. Personnel Matters We have received approval form the Department of Management and Budget on the hiring freeze waiver for the vacant Grants Coordinator position. Interviews were performed on April4 and a preferred candidate was selected. The hiring packet is with the Department of Career Development for approval. We expect approval any day and hope to have our latest staff member on board by the end of the month. If you have any questions or concerns that I can help you with, please feel free to call me at (517) 373-8028 or email at grossg@michigan.gov. 2 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Comparative Financial StatemenVFY 2002/2nd Quarter As of March 31 , 2002 STATE FUNDS Budget Actual FEDERAL FUNDS Actual Bud~et REVENUES 5,857,300 5,857,300 Current Year Prior Year Carryover 0 0 7,740,442 7,740,442 543,298 543,298 0 122,524 0 122,524 13,597,742 13,597,742 665,822 665,822 5,857,300 5,857,300 8,283,740 8,283,740 122,524 122,524 14,263,564 14,263,564 Program Operational 4,857,300 4,857,300 63,433 0 7,383,289 6,711,008 53,140 0 10,000 0 0 0 12,250,589 11,568,308 116,573 0 Total Sub Grants 4,920,733 4,857,300 7,436,429 6,711 ,008 10,000 0 12,367,162 11,568,308 Total Revenues PRIVATE FUNDS Actual Bud~et TOTALS Budget Actual SUB-GRANTS OPER.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwel l MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission From: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director ~~ Date: April 15, 2002 Re: Executive Director's Report In tl:lis repmi, you will receive an update on the national activity regarding national service and Michigan's response to the national directive regarding homeland security. Other items for your review include: 1. Program Director' s report on the All Streams National Service Meeting on April 30 the Signature Service Project in Muskegon on May 10111 & 11 1\ 111 , and 2. · Outreach Director's report on the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Marketing Plan (to be addressed during our standing committee reports); and 3. Finance Director's report on the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) audit and the current and future state budgets. National Service Legislation Attached you will find the President's media advisory on principles regarding national service and the reauthorization of the National and Community Service Trust Act. You can view the full document on the CNCS website at: www.cns.gov. It is worth noting that the principles mirror many of the concerns members of the MCSC raised in the correspondence from the Chair and the First Lady to the new CEO of the CNCS, Les Lenkowsky. In publishing a set of principles, the President has avoided getting mired down in a sea of amendments and parochial issues. The agenda for reauthorization now rests in the hands of the U.S . Congress. Again, tllis is similar to the position members of the MCSC adopted in their transmission of a resolution last January. Congress is due to take up reauthorization over the next six months in hopes that a bill could reach the President's desk by the fall at the earliest. �In the meantime, the CNCS has issued a Notice of Funding Available (NOFA) to strengthen communities and organizations in using service and volunteers to support homeland security. The CNCS will make available approximately $5 million under this announcement for AmeriCorps*State and National programs. They anticipate funding approximately 10 to 15 grant awards ranging from $200,000 to $750,000. The CNCS will consider requests to use a portion of the $5 million in new funds earmarked for AmeriCorps*State competitive and National to expand existing programs. The MCSC staff will keep commissioners informed as to what organizations apply for these funds and for what purposes. Michigan Citizen Corps At our previous meeting, I reviewed the national initiative- USA Freedom Corps-as announced by the President in his State of the Union Address to the U.S. Congress. Since then, there has been some heavy activity in the form of community organization around homeland security and in local dialogues around emergency preparedness. In addition, the USA Freedom Corps office is beginning to develop communication strategies to engage the general public. The MCSC staff members have been involved in some ofthese dialogues and have been charged by the Governor to take the lead in the development of Citizen Corps in Michigan. The recent call to action by the President has been meet with enthusiasm by the Governor and as a result, the MCSC will be placed at the center ofthat activity. Governor Engler has ordered that the USA Freedom Corps' new initiative- the Citizen Corps-will be administered by the MCSC. The Governor will unveil his plans at the Governor' s Service Awards program to be held in conjunction with the Volunteerism Superconference on April29, 2002. Commissioners have a draft of the plan included in this packet and will be provided more detailed information at the April29, 2002 meeting. Briefly, the Governor wishes to connect citizen action with emergency preparedness. The attached talking points further detail this initiative. The bulk of my report presentation at our next meeting will detail this initiative. 2 �Corporation for National and Community Service FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 9, 2002 CONTACT: Sandy Scott sscott@cns.gov 202-606-5000 ext. 255 President Bush Unveils Principles to Strengthen National Service "Citizen Service Act" Would Expand and Improve AmeriCorps, Senior Corps (Washington, D.C.)- In Connecticut this morning, President Bush unveiled his principles to strengthen and reform the programs of the Corporation for National .and Community Service. The President's proposal was shared on Capitol Hill by Corporation CEO Leslie Lenkowsky, who testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee simultaneously. The President released a 17-page "Principles and Reforms for a Citizen Service Act" to guide the reauthorization of the Corporation and its programs AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America. These programs engage 2 million Americans in service to meet critical community needs each year. The proposed 5-year extension would be the first since the Corporation's creation in 1993. Earlier this year, the President proposed increasing AmeriCorps by 25,000 members and Senior Corps by 100,000 in his 2003 budget. "Reforming and enhancing AmeriComs and Senior Corps are important steps in providing hundreds of thousands of Americans with meaningful service opportunities," said President Bush. "I look forward to working with the Congress in a bipartisan fashion to ensure the federal government does its part to support the commitment of Americans to our communities and our Nation." The President made his remarks to volunteers in Bridgeport after touring an after-school program run by Save the Children. The "Web of Support" after-school program uses AmeriCorps members and Foster Grandparents to tutor and teach computer skills to 200 Bridgeport children. Lenkowsky fleshed out the President's principles at the Senate HELP �committee hearing on the Corporation's reauthorization. The principles have four major objectives : • • • • Support and encourage greater engagement of citizens in volunteering, such as by making volunteer mobilization a priority, lowering the age for Senior Corps from 60 to 55 , and improving the benefits for ArneriCorps service. Make Federal funds more responsive to state and local needs, including giving states more authority to select AmeriCorps programs, providing greater flexibility, and allowing ArneriCorps members to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations where they serve. Make Federal support more accountable and effective, such as by directing grantees to specify program objectives and meet accountability requirements established by the Corporation. Provide greater assistance to secular and faith-based community organizations, by among other things making ArneriCorps*VISTA even more helpful to groups on the frontlines of helping the poor and needy. Lenkowsky thanked Chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Ranking member Judd Gregg (R-NH) and committee members for their longstanding support of national service, and pledged to work with them to put the Corporation on a strong, bipartisan footing for its second decade. On Thursday, Lenkowsky testifies on reauthorization before the House Subcommittee on Select Education. "Since the Corporation was created in 1993, it has accomplished a great deal," said Lenkowsky. "But to better help build a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility, we must use the lessons of the past decade to strengthen the quality of the Corporation's efforts and assist more Americans to serve their communities and their country." In his State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, President Bush called on all Americans to serve their country for the equivalent of two years and announced the creation ofUSA Freedom Corps. USA Freedom Corps is a comprehensive, integrated citizen service initiative to engage more citizens in service at home and abroad by strengthening ArneriCorps, Senior Corps and the Peace Corps, and by establishing a new Citizen Corps for homeland defense. Americans have responded to the President's call. Since the speech, online applications to ArneriCorps have shot up 70 percent, and interest in Senior Corps has risen even more. The Freedom Corps website has had 9 million hits. A blue-ribbon committee, chaired by former Senator John Glenn, has just called upon the nation's schools to invest more �heavily in service-learning, a teaching method that combines academic learning with community service. "This is an extraordinary moment in the history of our country and the agency I head," said Lenkowksy. "At a tragically high price, all of us have come to realize how precious our freedoms are and why it is important for all of us to accept the responsibilities of citizenship in order to preserve them. The President's Citizen Service Act will usher in a new era of service for our country, and I hope Congress will act quickly to seize this moment." Created in 1993, the Corporation for National and Community Service engages more than 1.5 million Americans annually in improving their communities through three programs: AmeriComs, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America.

The President has gathered a people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th. "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride - and to harness it to a great national purpose." President George W. Bush • Homeland security is a vital national as well as local interest. The events of September 11th changed and amplified how American's view their roles in society making service and volunteerism more important now than ever before. • Locally engaged citizens are the greatest defense to security threats, the most powerful resource in times of crisis and the most enduring form of community problem solving. • Michigan has taken a proactive approach to crisis management and has an emergency response plan through the Emergency Management Division of the Michigan State Police that directs and focuses the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency management organizations. This executive order builds on these plans and combines their forces by engaging citizens in service and expanding the resources available in response to crisis as well as in prevention and community strengthening. • Michigan has developed a strong infrastructure for helping its citizens serve their communities through a statewide alliance for volunteerism-the ConnectMichigan Alliance, a network of volunteer centers, a wide array of national service programs like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps, service-learning initiatives in schools, community collaboratives like America's Promise, annual activities like Make A Difference Day, and recognition programs like the Governor:s Service Awards. �• The Michigan Citizen Corps will establish an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission that will: o o o o Submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor; support the development and coordination of local citizen corps councils; broker federal , state and local resources including national service programs, for local volunteer citizen corps initiatives; and coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. • The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will comprise 12 members and will mirror local councils in their make up by including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, businesses, community-based volunteer organizations, schools, places of worship, health care institutions, public works, social service agencies and other key sectors. • The local Citizen Corps Councils will provide universal coverage (at a minimum, every Michigan county will be served by a council) for the coordination of engaged and prepared local volunteers and emergency management organizations. • By combining the emergency management forces with volunteer-based organizations, Michigan is ensuring that communities are better prepared in times of crisis or threat while strengthening the civic fabric of our society. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At the December 14, 2001 Board meeting, the board approved nine sites for the 15 fellows. Immediately following the board meeting, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified by Isabella County that they would be declining their 2002 Promise Fellow grant due to organizational change. As a result, the MCSC has one unallocated Promise Fellow position. On February 5, 2002 the MCSC received a letter from Pathways to Healthy Living requesting the opportunity to apply for one Fellow. They were aware that the MCSC had one unallocated Promise Fellow position and were writing to inquiry about the opportunity to apply for it. Pathways has been a Promise Fellow grantee for the past three years. The staff contacted Pathways to discuss why they did not apply in the original application process, and the specific goals the fellow would be addressing. Based on that discussion, the staff asked them to prepare a Promise Fellow application and submit it for review by February, 22, 2002. The staff will thoroughly review the application. The staff is asking the board for their permission to approve the Pathways application assuming it meets the established criteria. �New Applicant 1) The staff recommends provisional funding at the recommended amount for the following applicant: Legal Applicant Pathways to Healthy Living Total # of Fellows Requested 1 1 Funding Funding Requested Recommend $11,500 $11,500 $11,500 $11,500 �WPOINTl'ENTS Fax:Sl?-335-7899 Feb 11 'OL -- - ·- ·· ·- ····· ·-- -··-- - 11:~ - -~~-- 1-'.Ul . · - .. -~- , __ p.2 f;'-.!b 01 02 OS 2 09p Bi~rapby - lsmael Ahmed umael Ahmed wu Qnc of the co-rounders of the Arab Conununitv Center for Economic & Social ~ces (ACCESS) thirty ytats 1$0. ~that there" wu a need in the~ Arab community to provide services to new inutllgrants, he was one of the first volurueers to ~n & stocc front tD add~ th~ needs.

The 2002 Volunteerism SuperConference will be held April 29-30, at the Lansing Center in downtown Lansing. Every two years, the SuperConference is held to provide recognition, training, and networking opportunities for Michigan's volunteers. This year's SuperConference theme is The Power of Community. The SuperConference is open to all who are involved in service to their community, including national service program participants. More than 600 nonprofit professionals and community volunteers are expected to attend the event, which offers 50 workshops and features four plenary sessions . Highlights of this year's conference include the Youth Track and the Governor's Service Awards Dinner, both held on Monday, April 29. Participants wi ll hear from a number of nationally recognized speakers who have made service to others a major part of their lives, such as: Robert K. Goodwin, President and CEO of the Points of Light Foundation; and Peter Yarrow, from the singing group Peter, Paul and Mary, and his daughter Bethany. The MCSC is offering a number of registration scholarships for its grantees, and has set aside one scholarship per grantee/program (a $190 value) with the intent that a staff member from each program attends. While the SuperConference is organized and run for volunteers, it also depends on the work of vol unteers to make it a meaningful and effective event. The planning committee is currently accepting applications for SuperConference volunteers. In return for your service you will receive free registration for each day that you volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering for the SuperConference, contact Andrew Younger at (517) 3357952, or email youngera 1@michigan.gov.

Grantsmanship Center Scholarship Opportunities The Grantsmanship Center (TGCI), the world's leading source of grantsmanship training for nearly 30 years, is offering scholarships for their weeklong training workshops to CNS Volunteers. These trainings cover all aspects of grant proposal writing, including researching foundation, corporate and government funding sources, and how to locate those most likely to support their own organizations. The scholarships are worth $337.50, which is half the value of the regular training cost ($675). Though many CNS volunteers and staff (i.e. AmeriCorps) will not be able to use skills gained from this training while completing their term of service, this is an extremely valuable skill for individuals after they have finished. While agency staff members may attend TGCI trainings, the scholarship is offered to CNS volunteers only. The workshops are offered at various dates throughout the country. For more information, contact TGCI at 800-421-9512, or kimberly@tgci.com or visit www.tgci.com.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Director Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Program Division Director's Report DATE: February 4, 2002 ofProgr~~ Enclosed for your review is my program division update. Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan's AmeriCorps FY 2002- 03 Application Process At the December meeting, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) approved the staffs recommendation to not conduct an application process to select new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs based on the staffs projection that no additional resources to support new programs would be available. In December, we were unclear the amount of funds we would have available to support our current formula funded Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. On December 18, 2001 the Corporation for National and Community Service notified the MCSC that we had been allocated $2,618,981 to support formula funded programs in FY 2002-03. This is a reduction of roughly $600,000 from the previous year. Twenty-five of the twenty-six Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are eligible to be renewed. If the MCSC renews all of our current formula funded programs it would equate to $2,866,728. The MCSC will use unspent formula resources from FY 2001 and 2002 to meet our FY 2002-03 formula obligations. In December, the MCSC issued the renewal application guidelines to all of the current programs. The guidelines were discussed on the December program director conference call. The competitive renewal applications were due on January 15, 2002. The formula renewal applications are due April 5, 2002. The staff recommendations for the formula renewals will be presented at the April commission meeting. Please see the staff recommendation memo for the competitive renewal recommendations. MCSC 's Program Division Report- February 12, 2002 �AmeriCorps Alums The MCSC invited Michael Meneer, Executive Director of AmeriCorps Alums, to the January Michigan's AmeriCorps program director meeting to discuss ways to develop an AmeriCorps alumni network in Michigan. Currently, programs are exploring ways to engage alumni in their program activities. The MCSC is also exploring ways to engage alumni in statewide activities such as the member celebration or signature project. Mr. Meneer will be submitting a report from the January meeting. The MCSC staff will continue to explore ways to engage alumni. Learn & Serve- Michigan Learn & Serve-Michigan Grants On January 31, 2002, the MCSC submitted three renewal applications to the Corporation for National Service to continue the service-learning initiative in Michigan. The first renewal application in the amount of $230,000 was to continue supporting the 11 community-based service-learning programs. A draft of the second application was submitted on behalf of the Michigan Department ofEducation in the amount of$777,474 to support the school-based service-learning program. The final application in the amount of$769,555 is to support the collaborative service-learning initiative with the state of Ohio. Institute on Academic Service-Learning The MCSC in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact and Eastern Michigan University will be hosting the Institute on Academic Service-Learning on February 8- 9, 2002. Nearly 250 individuals are expected to attend. Commissioner Christine Kwak will be giving a welcome on behalf ofMCSC at the Institute. She will also brief the audience on the National Commission on Service Learning report that was recently unveiled. In 2000, theW. K. Kellogg Foundation, a longtime supporter of service-learning, appointed the National Commission on Service-Learning to study the current state of this practice in American schools. The Commission, chaired by former United States Senator John Glenn and co-sponsored by the John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy at The Ohio State University, consists of 18 education, government, and community leaders including First Lady Michelle Engler. These leaders spent a year reviewing research data, visiting schools, and questioning students, teachers, and other advocates in order to understand the prevalence and practice of service-learning. In the report, the National Commission on Service-Learning challenges the country to ensure that every chiM in a primary and secondary school participates in quality service-learning every year as an integral and essential part of the American education experience. The Commission makes four specific recommendations to achieve the broad goal of making service-learning a universal experience in American public schools: Reclaim the public purpose of education by expanding the definition of student achievement to include students' community contributions; increase policy, program and financial supports for service-learning in K-12 education; develop a comprehensive system of professional development regarding service-learning; and provide meaningful leadership roles for youth in all aspects of service-learning. The results of this comprehensive study can be explored in greater detail in the Commission's full report at www.servicelearningcommission.org/report.html MCSC 's Program Division Report- February 12, 2002 2 �Volunteer Investment Grants CVIG) VIG 2002 update In September 2001, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified that the $1 million line item for the FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) would be reduced to $907,300 due to state budget cuts. In November 2001, we were notified of an additional cut of$50,000 to bring the available amount of dollars to $857,300. At this point we do not know if we can expect additional cuts for FY 2003. Budget hearings begin next week so we hope to know the status of the VIG funding by the next board meeting in April. Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Program Update After the December board meeting, the MSU 4-H Extension of Isabelle County notified the MCSC that they would be declining their grant due to organizational staff issues. In addition, the legal applicant in Marquette has requested the program be transferred to a new organization citing change in the their mission and organizational priorities. The MCSC is currently negotiating the transfer of the program to the new organization. On December 17, 2001, the MCSC staff held a one-day orientation for the 2002 promise fellow sites. Tri-State Orientation For the past two years, the MCSC has partnered with the Ohio Commission and the Indiana Commission to conduct a three-day orientation for all Promise Fellows from the thr~e states. The third tri-sate orientation was scheduled for January 31 -February 2 in Hillsdale, Michigan. Unfortunately, due to the severe winter storm last week the training was cancelled. It is currently being rescheduled. Training and Technical Assistance Re-launching the Monthly Training and TA newsletter In January, the MCSC re-launched the training and technical assistance newsletter. The Workbench, formerly known as the Overture, is a monthly newsletter that is sent to all national service programs that highlights training and or technical assistance resources, tips, or opportunities. Please see the attached edition. Volunteerism SuperConference The MCSC is involved in the planning of the 2002 Volunteerism SuperConference scheduled for April29 - 30, 2002 at the Lansing Center. Every two years, the SuperConference is held to provide recognition, training, and networking opportunities for Michigan's volunteers. This year's SuperConference theme is The Power of Community. The SuperConference is open to all who are involved in service to their community, including national service program participants. This year, the MCSC will offer a complimentary registration scholarship to all national service programs at a value of$190. More than 600 nonprofit professionals and community volunteers MCSC's Program Division Report- February 12, 2002 3 �are expected to attend the event, which offers 50 workshops and features four plenary sessions. Highlights of this year's conference include the youth track, a national service program track, a service in education track, and the Governor's Service Awards Dinner, both held on Monday, April29. Participants will hear from a number of nationally recognized speakers who have made service to others a major part of their lives, such as: Robert K. Goodwin, President and CEO of the Points of Light Foundation; and Peter Yarrow, from the singing group Peter, Paul and Mary, and his daughter Bethany. Immediately following the SuperConference on Tuesday, April 30, the MCSC, in partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service Michigan Office, and the Office of Services to the Aging, will be convening all national service programs from 2:30 - 5:00PM. Programs from the various streams of service will have the opportunity to network and discuss specific issues common to all streams (AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve) of national service. Leaders from the Corporation for National and Community Service have been invited to participate in this meeting. We hope that you will join us for this exciting opportunity.

The Program Guides are individualized for each commissioner and contain the following information: • • • • • MCSC Talking Points Legislators in your geographic area MCSC programs in your geographic area District maps MCSC programs not in any commissioner's geographic area This information is provided so that commissioners will have the information they need to serve as an ambassador for the MCSC. Marketing Plan Development Work with Rx Coaching to develop the MCSC marketing plan continues. Since the Commission meeting in December, we began identifying target markets and action steps for the marketing plan. In addition, the staff and commissioner survey results have been compiled and are attached to this report. Governor's Service Awards The 91h Annual Governor's Service Awards (GSA) reception and dinner are being held on Monday, April29, 2002 at the Lansing Center in Lansing. Nomination forms are due to the MCSC by Friday, February 8, 2002. All commissioners are invited to serve as peer reviewers to select the five finalists and winner in each of the 14 categories. The peer review will take place on March 8, 2002 at the MCSC. Ameritech will once again be a lead sponsor for the Governor's Service Awards. Additional sponsors are being sought. Youth Poster Contest Entries for the 2002 Youth Poster Contest, Youth Volunteering to Unite our Communities, are due to the MCSC by Thursday, February 14, 2002. A youth-driven peer review is being held on March 8, 2002 to determine the winning poster. The winning poster will be printed and unveiled at the Governor's Service Awards. The MCSC staffwill again be seeking sponsors for this year's Youth Poster Contest. Unlike last year, we will not have a challenge grant from the Lovelight Foundation, which provided a 1:1 match. Therefore, our efforts to renew previous commitments and seek new ones will have to be redoubled. 2 �MYPAC At the suggestion of the Chair and some members of the Board Development Committee, staff will make an effort to connect all MCSC initiatives with our grant making focus. We are exploring ways of integrating MYPAC more deeply in the work ofthe MCSC. For this reason, it is anticipated that we will not be recruiting new MYP AC members for the 2002-2003 program year but will work with the current members to immerse them in the ongoing work of the MCSC. Michigan's Promise Michigan's Communities of Promise continue to participate in bi-monthly conference calls to keep abreast of activities in the field. These calls include a national update from America's Promise staff, a statewide update from the MCSC staff, and an opportunity for Community of Promise partners to discuss issues, share ideas, and celebrate accomplishments. The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is once again serving as the fiduciary for housing an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow at the MCSC. Interviews have been conducted and Jessica Swindell has been selected as the new Promise Fellow. Jessica is a former City Year Detroit AmeriCorps member and was most recently employed as the Family/School Partnership Coordinator for the Capital Area Literacy Coalition. She will start her position as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow Leader on January 31, 2001. Her resume is attached. Thank you to Commissioner Collier for CMF's ongoing support. Former Senator Harris Wofford was recently named Chair of the Board for America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth. Last January, Wofford stepped down as CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service with the ending of the Clinton Administration. Wofford replaces former Montana Governor Marc Racicot who had to step down after being appointed the head of the Republican National Committee. Both Racicot and Wofford succeeded retired General Colin Powell after he resigned as founding chair of America's Promise to accept the post of Secretary of State for the Bush Administration. Disability Project The MCSC Disability project, Access AmeriCorps, received funding for an additional year (through April2003) from the Corporation for National and Community Service. An Access AmeriCorps report is attached. MCSC Web Site The taxonomy (layout) for the MCSC's new website, following theE-Michigan guidelines, is complete. We are now negotiating the design of the masthead and the implementation and training calendar. 3 �u Coaching Your prescription for business success MCSC MARKETING SURVEY RESULTS Final Report, January 2002 BACKGROUND The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) hired Rx Coaching in October 2001 to coach the MCSC staff and commissioners, under the coordination of Mary Grill, Outreach & Fund Development Director, through the process of evaluating marketing needs and writing a Marketing Program that incorporates the Commission's mission and vision. In the course of their work, M. Grill and Rx Coaching decided the staff and commissioners should be surveyed on their perceptions of the effectiveness of the MCSC's current marketing efforts and challenges to future marketing. METHODOLOGY A marketing survey was emailed to the MCSC staff and commissioners in November and December 2001 . Respondents returned it by anonymous hard copy, email, or fax to Rx Coaching, who compiled the results. No individual respondents' names were revealed to the MCSC. Fourteen of 19 staff and 14 of 21 commissioners returned the survey, indicating similar rates of return for each. SUMMARY OF RESULTS There was a consensus between both groups that the MCSC gains little recognition for its efforts or the results of its hard work outside of grantees and/or the programs that MCSC administers directly. The commissioners took a focused approach in recommendations for rectifying this situation, putting more emphasis on a few target markets rather than the broader approaches suggested by staff. Neither group felt they received adequate information about the results of the agency's marketing efforts. Challenges to effective marketing mentioned by both groups included inadequate funding and staff, lack of a focused marketing plan, and the fact that the MCSC's role is unclear to those both inside and outside the organization. A staff that already perceives itself as overworked was particularly concerned about being burdened with additional marketing duties, although it does value such activities. Rx Coaching has recommended that issues that surfaced outside the scope of marketing (e.g., employee morale and recognition) be addressed in separate programs. Commissioner respondents expressed the strong opinion that their resources, talents, and connections could be better utilized in promoting the MCSC. �The survey results demonstrate a wide variety of opportunities for the implementation of a Marketing Program that will address valid concerns while building on the MCSC's strengths, such as solid grant making programs, a dedicated staff, and reputation for excellence among similar agencies nationwide. SURVEY RESULTS 1) Effectiveness of marketing efforts Both groups gave the MCSC a relatively low rating (less than 2.5 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being lowest). Detailed responses are included in separate staff and commissioner survey results reports. 2) How the MCSC could be marketed more effectively In terms of the most popular suggestions, staff mentioned training of grantees, improved visual identification, closer ties to media, and improved conrmunications with all target markets. Conrmissioners' reconrmendations fell into two broad areas: increased emphasis of value to local conrmunities and improved conrmunications with legislators. 3) Specific marketing challenges The "lack of time/money/trained staff' to do a good job of marketing was mentioned most often by staff, second most often by conrmissioners. The challenge mentioned most often by commissioners was a lack of clarity in the MCSC's stated message(s) and role. Other mentions by staff were lack of a unified approach or commitment to marketing and the perception that MCSC partners/grantees overshadow the Commission's contributions. Other mentions by commissioners werethe difficulty of promoting volunteerism and a lack of definition ofMCSC's target markets. 4) Satisfaction with feedback on results of MCSC's marketing Both groups gave very low ratings (overall score of less than 2) to their level of satisfaction with feedback on marketing results. 5) Additional questions asked only of commissioners • Half the commissioners said they believe the MCSC is better known outside of Michigan than within the state, but primarily only within the service conrmunity. • A large majority of the commissioners responding said they, their contacts, and resources should be used more frequently and more effectively in MCSC's marketing efforts. Some gave specific offers of help. RECOMMENDATIONS A. Design and implement an internal communications plan. 1) Emphasize the importance of marketing, underscore the Commission's dedication to marketing excellence, and instruct each employee and commissioner in his/her role in implementation of the Marketing Program. �2) Implementing ongoing internal communications programs (which may include a newsletter) to keep staff and commissioners consistently informed of: • Grantee success stories and how they are linked to MCSC efforts • Special service and/or contributions on the part ofMCSC employees and commissiOners • Recognition ofMCSC by media, legislators, agencies, and government departments in Michigan and other states, the federal government, etc. • Program, policy, or other changes that affect staff and/or commissioners • Upcoming deadlines for projects • Human interest stories and employee and commissioner profiles • Regular feedback on the results ofMCSC's Marketing Program B. Clearly define the mission, role, and operations of MCSC and simplify the agency's messages to key markets. • Develop phrases that are used consistently to describe the agency's mission and activities in all training programs, special events, brochures, news releases, newsletters, white papers, and other communications. • Redesign the MCSC logo and ensure that agency visual materials are used consistently and effectively in all events and programs. • Explore ways to make the MCSC web site more visually appealing, interactive, informative, and fun to use. C. Design and implement a program to build more productive relationships between the MCSC and state government. 1) Include action items that effectively utilize MCSC commissioners' influence and resources, especially in terms of in-kind contributions and regular contacts with legislators. 2) Develop a "business plan" for gubernatorial candidates, legislative candidates, and legislators that: • Includes specific suggestions on how they can support the MCSC in state government and at the loca1Jcommunity level • Appeals to their self-interest, makes them look good to constituents, and gets them re-elected • Is based on specific information on Appropriations Committee members and other key members of the legislature • Has obvious ties to the national agenda on volunteerism • May use a national personality in sports or entertainment as an MCSC spokesperson (appealing to state legislators rather than the general public) • Leverages MCSC's national reputation by developing statistics and communicating them to the appropriate parties in state government 3) Devise methods for staff to develop closer relationships between MCSC and other state agencies, including the Department of Career Development. �D. Design and implement a training program. 1) Train staff to present a consistent image of MCSC to all target markets. 2) Train commissioners to: • Present the MCSC's mission and operations clearly and consistently • Develop productive relationships with legislators, gubernatorial candidates, media, and community leaders. 3) Train grantees to: • Portray the MCSC to external groups-especially state legislators and the media-in a way that is clear, consistent, and powerful • Obtain frequent media coverage for their events and programs • Give ongoing feedback to the MCSC on the results of grantee programs E. Hire or assign a full-time marketing/public relations assistant to supervise the implementation of the marketing program. This person would report to the director of Outreach & Fund Development. His/her only job would be responsibility for day-to-day implementation of the marketing program, including: • Development and application of the graphic ID program • Coordination of writing and printing of promotional materials • Maintenance of media lists and everyday media contacts • Research, writing, and distribution of the employee newsletter • Coordination of promotion of special events • Monitoring of communications training results among staff and grantees, etc. This would relieve some of the perceived burden of giving additional duties to an already overworked staff, while assigning responsibility of marketing program execution to a single person who has marketing knowledge and experience. CONCLUSION With its highly defined budget and scope of operations, the MCSC cannot be all things to all people. The survey respondents indicated the MCSC must be marketed as the conduit between the state legislature and grantee organizations. This is not a mandate to design marketing activities aimed at the general public-far from it. By focusing its efforts on the target markets that really count, the MCSC will be able to more successfully accomplish its goals. This survey is a first and important step in gaining greater visibility for the Commission and improving communications with each of your target markets. Another important step will be to incorporate these results into the overall Marketing Program and to develop priorities and budget figures for the recommended actions. We believe that implementation of a cohesive and comprehensive Marketing Program will help build a solid future for the MCSC in state government and fulfill your mission within the Michigan volunteer community. �MICHIGAN'S ACCESS AMERICORPS UPDATE January 31, 2002 The Access AmeriCorps initiative, funded through a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service, provides resources to MCSC programs and outreach to Michigan's disability community with the goal of increasing the inclusion of people with disabilities in MCSC programs and activities.
