It has been a very busy time due to all the changes at the Commission. Final encumbrances and payables are being set up today and I hope to have final numbers for our books in place by the end of December! Due to the lateness of finalizing the encumbrances and payables, I am unable to adjust our internal spreadsheets and report out of final figures. I will be sending a copy of both the fiscal year 1998 and 1999 spreadsheets with the Volunteer Investment Grants package that will be mailed to you on December 4, 1998. As in year's past, we are facing many of same issues affecting our fiscal year close out including numerous grants ending at different times, closing out sub grants from our grantees, working with the Corporation for National Service (CNS) on the administrative application and budget for our next grant year, reconciling with the state budget process as the state does not close out its books and accounting until after the end of the calendar year, and working with the Department of Management and Budget to process both a budget request/increase for our General Fund support (GF) and requesting a work project form fiscal year 1998 funds. On the personnel side, we have recently started the process to hire two new support staff to assist our federal grants programs. Based upon previous experiences, we expect to start the interview process around the middle of December. We are also in the process of writing a new position description for the Training and Technical Assistance position. This request should be in process by the time of the Commission meeting on December 11, 1998. We are also currently working on the process of replacing the outgoing Director of Programs and writing updated position descriptions for current and planned positions at the Commission. I will be glad to answer any questions that you might have on any administration issues at the Commission meeting on Friday, December 11, 1998, or I can be reached at the Commission during the week at (517) 335-4295. cc: Kyle Caldwell �STATE OF MICHIGAN JOHN ENGLER, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell TO: MEMORANDUM 111 George W. Romney Lansing, Telephone FAX S. Capitol Ave. Bldg., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Administration ~- Michigan Community Service Commission .[Xl'~ RE: Comparative Financial Statements DATE: December 3, 1998 Attached are the Commission's comparative financial statements for both fiscal year (FY98) ending September 30, 1998 and the new fiscal year (FY99) starting October 1, 1998. There are a few areas that I need to explain on both of the statements that should help to clear up some questions that you might have after reviewing them. Even though the State' s books are not closed until the middle of January, we expect only minor changes to the FY98 numbers. Under Federal Funds, the grants for Operational and P-DAT do not end as the same time as the State's fiscal year. Final carry over numbers for these grants will be figured into our revised budgets to the Corporation for National Service. In the State GF/GP line, we have almost $190,000 in unspent funds. The majority of these funds, $135,000, are from our VIG grantees who declined their grants late in the fiscal year. The statement for the new fiscal year starting October 1, 1998, includes $60,000 in State work project funds. The amounts in this column are estimates based upon the goals of the work project. We expect to receive official notification by the middle of this month on if we received the work project. If and when we receive the authority to utilize the work project funds, we will work out the fmal budget figures. You will notice that some of the funds show $0 in the YTD actual column. We have not yet received either the funds or the award letter in these areas as of November 30, 1998. We expect final awards on all of these funds by the end of the year. On a different note, MCSC has been notified by the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) that we will be part of the department-wide federal funds audit being conducted by the Inspector General of the State of Michigan. We will be working closely with MJC in this audit. At this time, they are in the planning stages and we do not know any further information. I will be glad to answer any questions that you might have on any administration issues at the Commission meeting on Friday, December 11, 1998, or I can be reached at the Commission during the week at (517) 335-4295. cc: Kyle Caldwell �Michigan Community Service Commission Comparative Financial Statement/FY 99 As of October 1, 1998 STATE FUNDS GFIGP Budget Budget P ~ DAT Operational YTD Actual Budoel YTD Actual 8udoet leam & Serve AmeriCorps YTD Actual TOTALS PRIVATE & FOUNDATION FUNDS FEDERAL FUNDS Work Project YTD Actual Budget YTD Actual Bldget Michigan CARE S~2 Michigan CARES YTD Actual Budget YTD Actual Budge!

Capitol Ave. Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Angelia Salas, Program Development Coordinat9>0 Michigan Community Service Commission RE: FY99 Volunteer Investment Grant Issues DATE: August 26, 1998 JlfJJYJiv n 11 {) In its premier year, Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) program has proven to be an effective strategy for developing sustainable endowments in support of community problem solving through volunteerism. Twenty-one grants were awarded in the initial round to twenty-one volunteer resource centers for a total of $936,500. In addition, MCSC awarded $28,500 to grantees in the second round of awards. (*Please see second bullet point below.) As of August 15, 1998, MCSC has dispersed $409,500 to local agencies and $862,967 has been raised locally. By the end of the VIG program year, we expect that $965,000 of state funds will have been awarded. This means that at minimum $1,930,000 will have been raised locally and endowed permanently to create and sustain local volunteer resource activities. Since awarding the grants in February of 1998, staff have learned a lot about how to improve and streamline this grant process. Over the course of the last few months staff solicited, both formally and informally, ideas and recommendations from grantees and statewide partners like the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, United Way of Michigan and the Council of Michigan Foundations. We gathered the following recommendations from our many conversations with the field, as well as lessons learned by the MCSC staff. MCSC staff would like to present the following changes for commissioner's review and approval. 1. VIG is funded through state dollars. In FY 98, the grants were issued in February, four months after the fiscal year (state fiscal calendar runs October 1 -September 30). This creates some problems in ensuring that all monies are dispersed by the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, the staff would like to recommend that the grant start dates be moved back one month every year until they coincide with the start of the fiscal year (October). If this recommendation is approved, the application process will need to be adjusted. For FY99 the staff would make the VIG Request For Proposal available in mid-September. The applications would be reviewed in November, presented to the Commission at the December meeting and would have an effective start date of January 1, 1999. �FY 1999 Volunteer Investment Grant 2. In FY98, VIG recipients were allowed to request a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $75,000. During the first round of applications in FY98, MCSC awarded $936,500. As these are state funds, it was important to award the full one-million dollars, therefore staff issued a second RFP to existing grantees. The only stipulation of the second application process was that the grantee could not request more than the $75,000 maximum. If they requested the full $75,000 in the first application, they were not eligible to apply in the second round of funding. Through the second RFP, MCSC awarded $28,500 bringing the total FY98 awards to $965,000. Unfortunately due to the cap of $75,000 one of the current grantees that applied for the full $75,000 and had already generated the entire 2 to 1 match, wanted to apply for additional funds and could not. Had the maximum amount available been greater than $75,000, that applicant would have been eligible to apply for additional funding. Therefore, in FY99 the staff recommends that the minimum amount remains $25,000 but that the maximum level be raised to $100,000 thus allowing agencies to request higher funding levels and increasing the likelihood that the full one-million-dollar state allocation will be expended. 3. In addition to the current review criteria, the RFP will note that each proposal will be evaluated on it's individual strengths and on the proposals' ability to provide the greatest possible demographic and geographic diversity (i.e., rural/urban, median household income, etc.). 4. In reviewing the VIG requirements, there is some concern over the type of endowment required by VIG recipients. In FY98 VIG recipients were required to endow the match dollars in an agency designated fund. MCSC staff recommend that the RFP be modified to include language that clearly articulates that the purpose of this endowment is the development of permanent funds, the earned interest of which will remain a constant source of revenue for agency operations. In order to better ensure that these monies are used in the spirit in which they were intended, staff recommend that local community foundations endow any VIG designated funds in a board designated endowment rather than a multipurpose agency designated endowment. This change in wording will help to eliminate any confusion and ensure that agencies use VIG matching funds in a manner that is in keeping with the mission- to develop endowments for the purpose of recruiting, training and placing volunteers in their local communities. 5. Lastly, MCSC staff recommend that the MCSC review and revise the required match levels for VIG. In FY98, recipients were required to produce a $2 match for every $1 provided by VIG. In discussions with grantees and statewide partners, staff heard consistently and clearly that in the absence of Rorrmey Fund dollars, a two dollar match will be extremely difficult and that any future applications from current grantees would be highly unlikely. 1/14/98Page 2 �FY 1999 Volunteer Investment Grant Therefore, MCSC staff recommend and seek MCSC approval for the following modifications to the Volunteer Investment Grant program for FY99 and beyond: 1 . The grant start dates be moved back one month every year until they coincide with the start of the fiscal year. 2. For FY99, the minimum amount of the grant remain at $25,000 but that the maximum be raised to $100,000. 3. In addition to the current review criteria, the Request for Proposal will note that the overall pool of proposals will be evaluated on their individual strengths and on the proposals' ability to provide the greatest possible demographic and geographic diversity (i.e., rural/urban, median household income, etc.). 4. Local community foundations must permanently endow any VIG match funds in a board designated endowment rather than a "multi-purpose" agency designated endowment. 5. Modify the current 2:1 match level to one of a sliding scale that takes into consideration the number of times an applicant has successfully applied for and operated a VIG. For example: First year applicants would be required to raise $1 in local endowment funds for every $1 of State of Michigan funds requested through VIG. Second year applicants would be required to raise $1.50 in local endowment funds for every $1 of State of Michigan funds requested through VIG. Applicants in their third year and beyond would be required to raise $2 in local endowment funds for every $1 of State of Michigan funds requested through VIG. l/14/98Page 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bldg ., 4th Floor Mi chig an 48913 (51 7) 335-4295 (51 7) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Program Development RE: Program Department Updates for September 11, 1998 - REVISED DATE: August 26, 1998 Direc~~ The following is an update from the proposed Program Department. Currently, what is unofficially being called the program department includes one program development director, three program development coordinators (including one currently on medical leave) and one administrative assistant. The goal for the department is to secure two additional program coordinators, two administrative assistants, and a training and technical assistance coordinator. More details about the staff structure will be offered in the Executive Director Report. The Program Department will consist of all federally, state, and privately funded programs that MCSC administers. It includes Michigan's AmeriCorps, Learn and SERVE- Michigan, Michigan CARES, America's!Michigan' s Promise, and the Volunteer Investment Grants. During the past year, the Program Department administered more than $5.8 million dollars. Learn and SERVE- Michigan • Staff is currently conducting site visits to both community-based (CBO) and school-based Learn and SERVE- Michigan programs. • MCSC has received verbal approval of the Learn and SERVE- Michigan CBO renewal application from the Corporation for National Service (CNS). Staff is awaiting formal notification of funding from CNS. • MCSC conducted the second series of regional service-learning trainings in Alpena, Detroit, Flint, and Wayne. Jean Dailey from the Michigan School Volunteer Partners conducted the trainings involving more than 130 people from across the state. The third regional training in the series will take place this fall and will focus on evaluation and assessment techniques for service-learning programs. • As a part of MCSC' s training and technical assistance strategy, Learn and SERVE - Michigan CBO grantees were invited to attend the National Youth Leadership Council's service-learning conference in Minnesota. MCSC covered the cost of the grantees to attend the conference. Two grantees presented a workshop on high quality community-based service-learning programs. School-based grantees also attended the conference. �Program Department Updates • Preparation has begun for the development of a community-based organization service-learning training toolbook. A grantee committee has been developed in order to determine the contents of the book and resources needed to complete the project. Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) •In 1998, staff piloted a new structure for MYP AC. Each year several youth applied for the limited amount of slots available on the council. Rather than having to tum down such talented youth due to space limitations each year, MCSC staff revised the structure of MYPAC. The structure includes two tiers. The fust tier currently includes almost 40 youth ambassadors. The Ambassador component allowed us to reach out to more young people in the state and to offer them training in areas related to volunteerism and advocacy. We also offered them opportunities for personal and professional development through grant review and public speaking at conferences and workshops. The second tier includes an executive committee that deals with broader strategies. During the pilot year the new structure has been successful. As a result, the staff is currently working to develop a white paper to further develop the new structure and direction of MYPAC. Currently, MYP AC activities are on hold until the white paper is developed and approved by the Commission at the December Meeting. The new direction of MYP AC revolves around three concepts: Advocacy- MYP AC will be charged with promoting the value of youth service. MYP ACers will develop group plans to promote youth service through the traditional routes (i.e., conferences, brochures, video, workshops and etc.) and through individual plans (designing local service projects, speaking to local service organizations, encouraging local individual service activities). They will also be continually updated about national and state initiatives so that they may become a reference point in their schools and communities. Training- MYP ACers represent what is the most exciting force in the field today- youth service . .The energy young people bring to the work they do is contagious but often times they do not possess the skills to make their work easy. MYP ACers will be offered training through our traditional training opportunities (regional workshops, conferences) and will be offered specialized training at quarterly meetings. Training topics have included/might include: time management, communicating' to groups, project development, leadership styles, and others. Feedback- Having greater numbers of youth involved with MYPAC allows MCSC a unique window into the area of youth service. In place we will have a network of young people who have experience in the "trenches". Being put into place is a monthly system of surveys which are designed to do two things. First the surveys allow us a chance to take the temperature of the field. A quick, one-page survey allows us to see what the trends are in the field, define issues youth volunteers deal with and assess what young people need in order to become better or more skilled volunteers. Additionally, this survey will include a one-page summary of an issue that may be of interest to youth volunteers. For example in August, Women's History Month (August) was highlighted. The history of the legislation, a quiz and related web sites were included. Each month different topics will be covered. Page 2 �Program Department Updates America' s/Michigan 's Promise • During the Volunteerism SuperConference there was a designated track of workshops on America's Promise related issues. Retired General Colin Powell was the keynote speaker at the America's Promise luncheon during the conference. •On May 25, Retired General Colin Powell addressed more than 100 business leader at the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Mackinac Island Conference. Mrs. Engler hosted a luncheon for the top business leaders present at the conference. The businesses were asked to make a commitment to America's/Michigan's Promise. The General Motors Corporation (GM) were generous in sponsoring the luncheon. During the luncheon, GM announced their $4 million commitment to America's Promise to provide safety car seats to parents who cannot afford them. •Currently there are 15 Communities of Promise in Michigan. •MCSC will be holding a two day meeting September 30- October 1, 1998 in Lansing for the Communities of Promise and those Michigan communities interested in becoming Communities of Promise. Currently, 27 communities are expected to attend the meeting. Several staff members from America's Promise will also attend. •MCSC submitted a $20,000 grant request to the Corporation for National Service to support statewide activities of Michigan's Promise. MCSC received notification that the grant was approved. •MCSC will be submitting another grant to CNS for the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program. The application is due September 10, 1998. MCSC anticipates that we will apply for up to 20 fellows to be placed throughout the state. MCSC will conduct a competitive process to determine where the fellows will be placed. Only Communities of Promise will be eligible to apply for a fellow. •MCSC has submitted another grant to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for a broad-based Michigan's Promise program that will link several current Michigan initiatives including the ConnectMichigan campaign. Staff anticipates a response to the proposal prior to the next Commission meeting in December. Michigan's AmeriCorps •Staff submitted the AmeriCorps formula funding request to CNS in May 1998. CNS informed MCSC that all of the programs were approved pending final negotiation. The staff is currently working with CNS to address all of the negotiation issues. Staff anticipates receiving the final grant award letter in September. •In September, MCSC is starting the fifth year of Michigan's AmeriCorps. There are 22 programs operating throughout the state. Of the 22 programs, three of them are starting their first year as a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. •Staff held an orientation for the new Michigan' s AmeriCorps program directors and staff on August 19, 1998. The new directors were given an updated Michigan's AmeriCorps Policies and Procedures Guide. •On August 20, MCSC held a training for all Michigan's AmeriCorps programs on recruitment and retention of members. Eileen Cronin, an independent consultant from the Chicago area conducted the training. •Staff has continued to conduct program site visits to ensure compliance with the grant provisions as well as offer suggestions for improving the overall quality of the programs. •Staff conducted a site visit to the two programs on probation, the Grand Rapids Service Corps and Fitzgerald Public Schools. Page 3 �Program Department Updates The staff believes that Fitzgerald has adequately addressed all of the program issues and deficiencies and their probationary status has been removed. The Fitzgerald program received provisional funding from MCSC at the April Commission meeting. With the removal of the probationary status, MCSC will issue the program a new grant award for the 98/99 program year. The staff does not believe the Grand Rapids Service Corps has addressed all of the program issues and deficiencies. Therefore, MCSC has extended their probationary status until the end of their program grant (November 30) and will make a decision about issuing the program a new grant award for the 98/99 program year in October 1998. In addition, staff required the Grand Rapids Service Corps to submit a new corrective action plan to address the outstanding program deficiencies. The staff received the corrective action plan on August 24, 1998. •The Corporation has informed MCSC that the AmeriCorps timeline for FY99 funding has been accelerated. This means that the Michigan's AmeriCorps timeline will need to be modified to reflect the federal changes. The outreach for new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will occur in the Fall of 1998. Therefore, MCSC staff recommend and seek MCSC approval for the following modifications to the Michigan's AmeriCorps program for FY99 and beyond: 1. For FY99, MCSC will limit the size of the grants funded through our CNS formula allotment to $500,000. MCSC will not fund a program with formula dollars that exceeds the $500,000 maximum. However, programs exceeding the $500,000 maximum can be funded with CNS competitive funds. ,Jl'V1 ~ 2.

The information gathered from the interviews will be used to develop the fmal monograph. The monograph is expected to be developed, printed, and disseminated by Spring of 1999. •The CARES grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation expires on September 30, 1998. As of August 15, 1998, $102,482 remains unspent. Therefore, staff would like to request an extension from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to September 30, 1999. Staff suggest that the unspent monies be used to provide support to the CARES communities around the goals of America's Promise. Therefore, staff request that MCSC approve the extension of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant for Michigan CARES and that unexpended funds be used to support CARES communities implementation of America's Promise in Michigan. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) •See attached memo for program update and action item. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JOHN ENGLER, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION 111 George W. Romney Lans ing , Te lephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Program Development RE: Program Department Updates for September 11, 1998 DATE: August 26, 1998 1 1 L ,.... 1 S. Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 'J'\9...}-J D~~. The following is an update from the proposed Program Department. Currently, what is unofficially being called the program department includes one program development director, three program development coordinators (including one currently on medical leave) and one administrative assistant. The goal for the department is to secure two additional program coordinators, two administrative assistants, and a training and technical assistance coordinator. More details about the staff structure will be offered in the Executive Director Report. The Program Department will consist of all federally, state, and privately funded programs that MCSC administers. It includes Michigan's AmeriCorps, Learn and SERVE- Michigan, Michigan CARES, America's!Michigan's Promise, and the Volunteer Investment Grants. During the past year, the Program Department administered more than $5.8 million dollars. Learn and SERVE - Michigan • Staff is currently conducting site visits to both community-based (CBO) and school-based Learn and SERVE- Michigan programs. • MCSC has received verbal approval of the Learn and SERVE- Michigan CBO renewal application from the Corporation for National Service (CNS). Staff is awaiting formal notification of funding from CNS . • MCSC conducted the second series of regional service-learning trainings in Alpena, Detroit, Flint, and Wayne. Jean Dailey from the Michigan School Volunteer Partners conducted the trainings involving more than 130 people from across the state. The third regional training in the series will take place this fall and will focus on evaluation and assessment techniques for service-learning programs. • As a part ofMCSC's training and technical assistance strategy, Learn and SERVE- Michigan CBO grantees were invited to attend the National Youth Leadership Council's service-learning conference in Minnesota. MCSC covered the cost of the grantees to attend the conference. Two grantees presented a workshop on high quality community-based service-learning programs. School-based grantees also attended the conference. �Program Department Updates • Preparation has begun for the development of a community-based organization service-learning training toolbook. A grantee committee has been developed in order to determine the contents of the book and resources needed to complete the project. Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYPAC) •In 1998, staff piloted a new structure for MYPAC. Each year several youth applied for the limited amount of slots available on the council. Rather than having to tum down such talented youth due to space limitations each year, MCSC staff revised the structure of MYPA C. The structure includes two tiers. The first tier currently includes almost 40 youth ambassadors. The Ambassador component allowed us to reach out to more young people in the state and to offer them training in areas related to volunteerism and advocacy. We also offered them opportunities for personal and professional development through grant review and public speaking at conferences and workshops. The second tier includes an executive committee that deals with broader strategies. During the pilot year the new structure has been successful. As a result, the staff is currently working to develop a white paper to further develop the new structure and direction ofMYPAC. Currently, MYPAC activities are on hold until the white paper is developed and approved by the Commission at the December Meeting. The new direction of MYP AC revolves around three concepts: Advocacy- MYP AC will be charged with promoting the value of youth service. MYP ACers will develop group plans to promote youth service through the traditional routes (i.e., conferences, brochures, video, workshops and etc.) and through individual plans (designing local service projects, speaking to local service organizations, encouraging local individual service activities). They will also be continually updated about national and state initiatives so that they may become a reference point in their schools and communities. Training- MYP ACers represent what is the most exciting force in the field today- youth service. The energy young people bring to the work they do is contagious but often times they do not possess the skills to make their work easy. MYP ACers will be offered training through our traditional training opportunities (regional workshops, conferences) and will be offered specialized training at quarterly meetings. Training topics have included/might include: time management, communicating to groups, project development, leadership styles, and others. Feedback- Having greater numbers of youth involved with MYPAC allows MCSC a unique window into the area of youth service. In place we will have a network of young people who have experience in the "trenches". Being put into place is a monthly system of surveys which are designed to do two things. First the surveys allow us a chance to take the temperature of the field. A quick, one-page survey allows us to see what the trends are in the field, define issues youth volunteers deal with and assess what young people need in order to become better or more skilled volunteers. Additionally, this survey will include a one-page summary of an issue that may be of interest to youth volunteers. For example in August, Women's History Month (August) was highlighted. The history of the legislation, a quiz and related web sites were included. Each month different topics will be covered. Page 2 �Program Department Updates America 's!Michigan 's Promise • During the Volunteerism SuperConference there was a designated track of workshops on America's Promise related issues. Retired General Colin Powell was the keynote speaker at the America's Promise luncheon during the conference. •On May 25, Retired General Colin Powell addressed more than 100 business leader at the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Mackinac Island Conference. Mrs. Engler hosted a luncheon for the top business leaders present at the conference. The businesses were asked to make a commitment to America's/Michigan's Promise. The General Motors Corporation (GM) were generous in sponsoring the luncheon. During the luncheon, GM announced their $4 million commitment to America's Promise to provide safety car seats to parents who cannot afford them. •Currently there are 15 Communities of Promise in Michigan. •MCSC will be holding a two day meeting September 30- October 1, 1998 in Lansing for the Communities of Promise and those Michigan communities interested in becoming Communities of Promise. Currently, 27 communities are expected to attend the meeting. Several staff members from America' s Promise will also attend.•MCSC submitted a $20,000 grant request to the Corporation for National Service to support statewide activities of Michigan's Promise. MCSC received notification that the grant was approved. •MCSC will be submitting another grant to CNS for the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program. The application is due September 10, 1998. MCSC anticipates that we will apply for up to 20 fellows to be placed throughout the state. MCSC will conduct a competitive process to determine where the fellows will be placed. Only Communities of Promise will be eligible to apply for a fellow. •MCSC has submitted another grant to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for a broad-based Michigan's Promise program that will link several current Michigan initiatives including the ConnectMichigan campaign. Staff anticipates a response to the proposal prior to the next Commission meeting in December. Michigan's AmeriCorps •Staff submitted the AmeriCorps formula funding request to CNS in May 1998. CNS informed MCSC that all of the programs were approved pending final negotiation. The staff is currently working with CNS to address all of the negotiation issues. Staff anticipates receiving the final grant award letter in September. •In September, MCSC is starting the fifth year of Michigan' s AmeriCorps. There are 23 programs operating throughout the state. Of the 23 programs, three of them are starting their first year as a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. •Staff held an orientation for the new Michigan's AmeriCorps program directors and staff on August 19, 1998. The new directors were given an update Michigan' s AmeriCorps Policies and Procedures Guide. •On August 20, MCSC held a training for all Michigan's AmeriCorps programs on recruitment and retention of members. Eileen Cronin, an independent consultant from the Chicago area conducted the training. •Staff has continued to conduct program site visits to ensure compliance with the grant provisions as well as offer suggestions for improving the overall quality of the programs. •Staff conducted a site visit to the two programs on probation, the Grand Rapids Service Corps and Fitzgerald Public Schools. Page 3 �Program Department Updates The staff believes that Fitzgerald has adequately addressed all of the program issues and deficiencies and their probationary status has been removed. The Fitzgerald program received provisional funding from MCSC at the April Commission meeting. With the removal of the probationary status, MCSC will issue the program a new grant award for the 98/99 program year. The staff does not believe the Grand Rapids Service Corps has addressed all of the program issues and deficiencies. Therefore, MCSC has extended their probationary status until the end of their program grant (November 30) and will make a decision about issuing the program a new grant award for the 98/99 program year in October 1998. In addition, staff required the Grand Rapids Service Corps to submit a new corrective action plan to address the outstanding program deficiencies.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: MCSC Policies and Procedures DATE: August 28, 1998 In examining the minutes of the past Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) meetings, I noticed that it is a long standing tradition for newly appointed executive directors to review and suggest revisions to the MCSC Operating Procedures. In keeping with that tradition, MCSC staff offer the following suggestions: 1. MCSC establish the Board Development Committee as a standing committee to assist the full commission in 1) making recommendations to the Governor concerning appointing new members and removing inactive members; 2) coordinating commissioner committee assignments, 3) tracking commissioner participation; and, 4)seeking out prospective commission members. The committee membership would include the chair and three other commission members. 2. In the latest MCSC Operating Procedures (approved December 13, 1996), five standing committees were established: Youth Leadership, Legislative Outreach, Awards and Recognition, Outreach and Communications, and Continuous Improvement. In addition, according to the September 23, 1994 minutes, Commissioner Tate requested that the National and Community Service Trust Act Steering Committee be changed to a standing committee of the MCSC and be titled the Staff Advisory Committee. To date, there has been no attempt made to define any of the aforementioned committees nor was the Staff Advisory Committee ever added to the officially adopted MCSC Operating Procedures. �Therefore, MCSC staff propose the following standing committees and their definitions for commissioner consideration and adoption: Board Development Committee Board Development - this committee will assist the full commission in making recommendations to the Governor concerning appointing new members and removing inactive members, coordinating commissioner committee assignments, tracking commissioner participation, and seeking out prospective commission members. The committee membership will include the chair and three other commission members. Staff from MCSC's Outreach and Fund Development Department along with the Administrative Assistant to the Commission, will be responsible for providing administrative support and coordination to this committee. Youth Leadership Youth Leadership - this committee will provide youth with more voice on Commission matters. The committee will be composed of young people and Commissioners between the ages of 12-21 and will assist the Commission in the development of its youth service policy and advise and guide the Commission in regard to youth issues. The Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council will remain the active body of this committee. Staff from MCSC's Programming or Outreach and Fund Development Departments along with the Administrative Assistant to the Commission, will be responsible for providing administrative support and coordination to this committee. Awards and Recognition A wards and Recognition - this committee will aid in the coordination, support and implementation of a statewide multi-category recognition/awards program. The Governor's Service Awards program will be an annual event hosted by MCSC. The Committee will also work with local communities to develop and coordinate their own award programs. The committee membership will included three or more commissioners. Staff from MCSC's Outreach and Fund Development Department along with the Administrative Assistant to the Commission, will be responsible for providing administrative support and coordination to this committee. Legislati¥e Outreaeh Legislative Outreach this committee will seek out ways to educate legislators aHd other govemmeRt officials.

Having spent the past seven months supervising the staff and agency operations, I believe now is the right time to consider structural changes to the organization. These suggested changes will improve administrative decision-making and overall program management. Your examination and feedback pertaining to the ideas presented here would be greatly appreciated . To begin, it is important to note that MCSC has a significant leadership role in supporting volunteer initiatives throughout the state as well as the nation. There is no question that MCSC continues to be recognized as one ofthe premiere state commissions in the country. The level of responsibility and credibility of the commission staff has also been heightened over the past few years. Funding for the commission has nearly tripled over the past five years and the number of programs being funded has expanded by more than 200% in the same period. I am pleased that we were able to upgrade the position of the Executive Director with Kyle' s appointment. This recent action properly recognizes the level of responsibility and authority defined for this position. Secondly, it assures that we are in a much stronger competitive situation in our ability to secure a capable manager in the future should the need arise. Much of this rationale also applies to the other administrative employees on the commission staff. We've developed a very dedicated, competent administrative team with duties and responsibilities that, in my opinion, significantly exceed their current job classifications. Briefly stated, commission staff are required to have extensive knowledge of Corporation for N ational Service programs, federal rules and policies, grant writing skills, program management, technical Dow Corn in g Corpo ration Mid land, Mich igan 48686-0994 Phone: (5 17) 496-..JOOO �assistance and program evaluation, fiscal management skills, project design and planning skills and effective communication skills. In addition, these individuals must serve as a liaison to community organizations, provide training assistance to grantees, and conduct various workshops and conferences. The following recommendations seek to constructively address these matters. Recommendations In short, I have proposals that address two specific areas. First, I'm proposing a series of internal structural changes aimed at improving accountability and overall efficiency within the agency. Secondly, I've developed a series of recommendations for upgrading positions Gob levels) for commission administrative staff that provide a greater level of recognition for the work that is required by these individuals. Let me acknowledge right up front that I realize that much ofwhat I'm proposing must be implemented within the State's Civil Service policies. My hope is that we can find a way to move forward without having the civil service rules be so limiting that we not do what is in the best interest of strengthening the administrative leadership and organizational capacity of the MCSC. In the end, the citizens of the State ofMichigan will be the real winners by virtue of a more effective and capable staff to address their needs. One final point here, currently all administrative staff report directly to the Executive Director (Kyle Caldwell) with the exception of the Department 9 Analyst (Maria Garcia), who reports to Lindy Reurink (Department Analyst 12). All support staff now report to Mary Estrada (Executive Secretary II) . The structural changes I'm proposing will substantially alter the lines of authority and accountability within the organization. These recommendations will most directly affect the commission ' s administrative personnel and only minimally affect the support staff. Please review the following: 1). All MCSC programs and activities would be managed under one ofthree organizational components: A Community Services Component, Special Services Component; and a Administrative Services Component. The attached organization chart depicts the specific areas of activity/responsibility and staffing for each of the functional components. The Community Services Component would be headed by Paula Kaiser and would essentially be responsible for all programming activity involving external grantee organizations including management of the RFP process, federal, state, and foundation grant application development, program reporting systems, program coordination, etc. This part ofthe organization would have full responsibility for CNS AmeriCorps Programs, MI Cares, Volunteer Investment Grants, Learn & Serve, America Reads, Michigan Reads, ACE Program and America' s Promise. The Special Services Component would assume responsibility for all internally driven projects and programming initiatives. This would specifically include all communication and public relations activities (i .e. MCSC Annual Report, Quarterly Newsletter, Special Publications, Web-page development and management), Governor's Service Awards, Make A Difference Day Activities, Grantee and Staff Technical Assistance Programs, Senior Advisory Council, and MYP AC. Lindy Reurink would manage the staff and activities in this area . 2 �Finally, the third organizational component would be focused around key administrative services including grant administration, fiscal planning and management, personnel liaison and procurement activities. This area would be headed by Gary Gross . The three managers of these functional components would report directly to the Executive Director as will the Executive Secretary II. All other personnel would be supervised by one of functional managers. Again, this is graphically depicted in the attached organization chart. 2). The following staff positions would be upgraded as delineated below: Please note that the first line lists current state civil service level and proposed new level. The second line identifies current internal job title and proposed title (in italics).

A grant request for continued funding has been submitted to the Kellogg Foundation. **Janet Ellis will transfer from Department ofEducation to MCSC . Department ofEducation funding will continue to support this position. BUDGET IMPACT The recommendations presented here need to be carefully analyzed for their potential impact on the current commission budget as well as the next fiscal year budget. However, my preliminary review of the agency's available and expected fiscal resources suggests that these changes can be accommodated without jeopardizing major program initiatives or important services. On average, position upgrades can be accomplished with a salary adjustment of between $5,000-7,000 (including retirement) in each situation . The majority of the funding for the proposed adjustments would come from federal funding sources.

Mott Foundation DATE: August 28, 1998 Enclosed you will find the materials for the MCSC meeting at the C.S. Mott Foundation in Flint, Michigan. At this meeting we will be covering: • Updates of MCSC initiatives, events and finances • Funding and programming policy modifications for Michigan' s AmeriCorps, Michigan CARES and Volunteer Investment Grants • Make A Difference Day events for commissioner participation • Assigning tasks around Michigan's Unified State Plan • Staff recommendations for how MCSC should do business • A review ofMCSC's standing committee structure Please take the time to review these materials prior to our September 11 , 1998 meeting.

Mott Foundation has graciously arranged for lunch which will be served at 11:30 a.m. near their main conference room. The meeting will follow shortly thereafter. As an added note. Many have expressed a concern about MCSC mailing costs. Let me assure you that because of the contract the State of Michigan has secured with United Parcel Service, it is less expensive for MCSC to send packets this size via UPS than it would be to send it through U.S. Postal Service's First Class system.

I hope that everyone is enjoying this wonderful summer weather. As you all know things have been quite busy for us at the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). We have recently finished several very successful special events (Volunteerism SuperConference, Fifth Annual Governor's Service Awards, Statewide Public Land Cleanup, Statewide Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project). In addition, we have hired three new staff members, including our new executive director, Kyle Caldwell. As things are finally settling down this summer, I thought it important to get a quick note out to the council. The Michigan Community Service Commission has truly benefitted from the dedicated individuals who represent the Senior Advisory Council. Most of the members have had the opportunity to serve on grant reviews, participate in the review of the Governor's Service Awards, attend MCSC meetings, and/or take part in MCSC sponsored conferences and trainings. These experiences have not only served as opportunities to the members but have provided a very valued service to MCSC. As you also know there has been a lot of discussion within the council about the true mission and work of the council. Because of the group's diverse geographic locations and busy volunteer schedules it has proven difficult to hold regular, well attended meetings. With this in mind, we have approached some key members of the senior volunteer community to discuss how we should best proceed with the council. As we enter these discussions we will put on hold any future Senior Council meetings. We will however, continue to make available, to all council members, MCSCsponsored trainings, conferences, reviews, newsletters, publications, notice of available grants, etc. It is our hope to send a follow-up to this letter before the end of the summer. Again, I hope that the warm weather is treating you well. If you have any questions, please call me at (517)3354295 . P.S. I thought you might like aT-shirt from this summer's Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project.

Introduction Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) grew out of an extensive planning process hosted by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and was officially created by an executive order of Governor John Engler in October 1991. Established in state law with the overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature in the summer of 1994, MCSC is chaired by Michigan's First Lady, Michelle Engler and serves as a nonpartisan commission that promotes, supports and administers national and community service programs and various other volunteer efforts across the great state of Michigan. MCSC exists because of its partnerships-not in spite of them. From its very beginnings, MCSC has worked with organi'i~tions from the various sectors of our society to build an meaningful and lasting relationships th~t serve the fields of national service and volunteerism. Contributions, advice and support from organizations including Ameritech, Council of Michigan Foundations, C.S. Mott Foundation, Dow Coming Corporation, Lovelight Foundation, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact United Way of Michigan, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and many more, have developed an idea into a reality. MCSC has grown and will continue to served Michigan citizens by branching out and seeking more non-traditional partnerships with philanthropic, governmental, for-profit and other charitable organizations. Specifically, what does MCSC do? Conduit for Federal, State and Private Support MCSC provides one of the few conduits community-based organizations use to access funds and assistance in support of volunteer efforts in Michigan. MCSC was designated the state's lead agency for administering programs under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, and later amended as the National Service Trust Act of Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page I �1993. MCSC's support comes from three primary sources: federal funding for AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve through the Corporation for National Service; state funding for Volunteer Investment Grants and administrative costs; and private foundation funding that underwrites the costs for various programming initiatives and recognition events. Catalyst e onvener Broker MCSC acts as a catalyst for positive community change that works toward stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs through service; a convener of diverse individuals and groups that work collaboratively toward building community through shared efforts toward common goals; and se es as a broker of ideas and resources ll ']~j ·~ . . a way that contmues . m to encourage co a oration and entrepreneun"al approac hes to service and volunteer program development in communities across Michigan. MCSC acts in these roles, but is rarely noticed for doing so. In many ways, this is a ae ired circumstance. While MCSC constantly strives to build its identity as a commiss ·on that coordinates and promotes voluteerism, it does not seek to steal the spotlight from the truly philanthropic efforts of Michigan's communities and citizens. Michigan has a nationally renowned commission on volunteerism because of the vision of MCSC' s supporters, but more importantly, because of the truly philanthropic efforts of our citizens and the organizations they serve. What does this plan propose? Why? This document lays out a four-year plan to help MCSC ensure that this mission, philosophy and legacy remain intact. This document is not intended to redefine MCSC, its mission, or it focus . This plan provides the historical context for MCSC and explains the reasoning for why and how it does business. Based on those factors, this plan takes a deliberately narrow and introspective look at MCSC and makes recommendations for internal changes based on changes in the field, the growth of the organization and the ever-changing Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 2 �priorities of MCSC' s various funders and supporters. This document deliberately avoids recommending any broad based fundamental changes. Those changes will need to come directly from MCSC's leadership and will be discussed later in this document. For now, fundamental and comprehensive examination and modification to the internal workings of MCSC is needed. Therefore, this plan offers changes to the operations, procedures and initiatives of MCSC so that it may better address its core mission of enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 3 �II. Summary The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has grown in scope and breadth since its creation in 1991. With this growth comes an ever increasing amount of responsibility for coordination, promotion and recognition of service and volunteer efforts throughout Michigan and the nation. MCSC began as, and to this day remains, a leader in the service and volunteer movement. Even with the rapid growth of programming, promotion and coordination initiatives operated by MCSC, its future is not assured. MCSC's budget consists of a mix of federal, state, foundation and corporate SUJ?port with the federal share comprising some 85%. This is a staggering figure and potentially a dang~rous situation as MCSC considers the implications of reduction or elimination of that support in the future. Finally, either as a result of, or in #" conjunction with, MCSC's rapid growth and development, ma, organizations in the field feel excluded and, in some cases, concerned that some MCSC programs are in competition with existing initiatives. Nonprofit organizations do not thrive and grow in an environment of steep competition as do those in the profit sector. In short, MCSC, like so many other nonprofit organizations, lacks the necessary systems and mechanisms for sustainability due to some fundamental barriers- inadequate size and diversify of MCSC's funding base; and inadequate investment in genuine collaboration. To overcome these barriers, continue to support the field of volunteerism, and to best position MCSC for sustainable effectiveness, the MCSC staff propose that over the next four years MCSC engage in the activities listed on the following page. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 4 �Activities • MCSC work to maintain and enhance its leadership role at the local, state and national levels by emphasizing its role as a catalyst, convener, and broker. • MCSC develop mechanisms, processes and events that demonstrate MCSC pride in its current partnerships while also developing new and even more creative relationships. • MCSC should build in annual tasks that bring together various elements of the volunteer field to work together to assess and report on the state of: - youth serving in their communities in Michigan; - seniors serving in therr communities in Michigan; - families se~ing in their communities in Michigan; - service-learning in Michigan schools; and - faith-based service and volunteer efforts in Michigan. • MCSC work to reduce its overwhelming dependency on federal funding through both friend- and fundraising efforts. • MCSC restructure itself to (see Proposed Organizational Chart): - emphasize programming, administration, outreach and fund development as its primary areas for action; -create a management structure that ensures focused efforts, efficiency, accountability, leadership and professional growth; and - build a system of command and control functions. • MCSC should commit to developing a process to determine the organization's progress, effectiveness, utility to the service and volunteerism field, and determine if a statewide commission on service and volunteerism is necessary. • If found to be necessary, MCSC should develop and implement a comprehensive and long range plan to establish MCSC's permanent physical and administrative home while transitioning to a more diverse and stable funding base. ;; This document continues by providing an historical context and details staff recommendations for how MCSC might carry out changes in the way it does business. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 5 �III. Background What is Michigan doing in the areas of youth development and volunteerism? That was the question many organizations were asking themselves almost eight years ago. To answer these questions, the nation, and especially Michigan began a series of dialogues. A national movement driven by the National and Community Service Act of 1991 and by the ' focussed attention of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on issues of youth, brought forth a series of meetings, held during the late SRring and early summer of 1991. These meetings called together representatives of K-12 education, higher education, community-based agencies and youth-serving organizations to begin a dialogue on youth and youth service programs across Michigan. As an outcome of these meetings, and a report from , statewide plan for service and volunteerism. The coalition consist~d of some now familiar organizations-Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Forum (now Association) and the Council of Michigan Foundations. These coalition partners, their plans and these meetings lead to the development of the Michigan Community Service Commission-formed via an executive order by Governor John Engler on October 2, 1991 (see Executive Order 1991-25, 1993-24). The first meeting was held on October 31, 1991, called to order by its first and continuing chairperson, First Lady Michelle Engler. Building an Infrastructure for Service and Volunteerism in Michigan MCSC's initial duties included defining and embracing a mission around volunteerism and youth service, developing a state plan for soliciting support from the Commission on National and Community Service (CNCS), and building a plan for sustainability of MCSC, but more importantly, for the state's volunteer movement. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 6 �MCSC's first executive director, Diana V. Rodriguez Algra, continued the coalition building that was so evident in MCSC' s initial forming. Organizations from across the state were convened to help form and implement Michigan's application to the CNCS and the state's charge to MCSC for promotion and coordination of service and volunteerism in Michigan. MCSC garnered regular and continuous input and support from a broad coalition including: ACTION, Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), K-12 Service Learning Center, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Michigan CayJ.pus Compact (MCC), Michigan Community Action Agencies, Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Department of Social Services, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, Michigan Office on Foundation, United Community Services of Metro Detroit, United"Way of Michigan, and up of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. Through a number of task forces& made , aforementioned organizations and a small yet effective staff1 MCSC submitted a successful series of applications to CNCS. Out of those applications, Michigan developed: • a network of school-based K-12 service learning initiatives • continuing support for a consortium of higher education institutions committed to youth volunteerism • strong support for Michigan based youth corps programs including 14 Youth Volunteer Corps, Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps, and the Youth Environmental Education Service Corps • a national demonstration model for community organization around service and volunteerism These programs, coupled with the organizations that worked with MCSC to build Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 7 �them, began to form what we now know of as Michigan's service and volunteerism infrastructure-relationships formed around a common belief that service (especially by our youth) to one's community is at the heart of what forms our civil society. This infrastructure, facilitated by MCSC, effectively responded to radical changes in federal legislation, frequent tum-over in leadership of coalition organizations, and priority shifts by corporate and Michigan's National Leader Status MCSC was able to leap ahead ·of many other states largely because the support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, dedication ofpartner.organizations, Governor Engler' s vision and leadership and the overwhelming bi-partisan support of the Michigan Legislature for the codification of this non-partisan commission on service and volunteerism see Public Act Number 219). Under the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 (federal legislation that modified the 1991 act and essentially reorganized the field to emphasize national service), states were required to establish state commissions that would administer funning from the newly formed Corporation for National Service (CNS). This funding included support for AmeriCorps (a national service initiative designed to act as a domestic version of the Peace Corps), Learn & Serve (K-12 and higher education funding designed to bring volunteerism and civic participation back into the lives of youth through curricular and cocurricular programming), and administrative costs for commissions to oversee these and other initiatives. MCSC, having been established two years prior to the 1993 act, was and continues to be, well prepared to respond to national initiatives. Proof of that can be demonstrated in what MCSC has achieved. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 8 �MCSC: • manages one of the nation's largest portfolios of AmeriCorps and Learn & Serve programs. • developed some of the few state government-operated AmeriCorps programs through the Family Indepenoence Agency and the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps. • is one of a handful of state commissions with state appropriated funds to promote, develop and coordinate volunteer organizations across the state. • with support from the Fonf Foundation, is the primary leader in the development of a national trade organizatio'n for state/service commissions. • has more of its commissioners represented on national volunteer and youth-service oriented organizations (America's Promise, Corporation for National Service, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation, Points of Light Foundation) than most state commissions in the nation. • has one of the nation's largest statewide recognition programs (over 1200 participants , in 1998) for citizens who exemplify MCSC' s missio ·~ ·. . ·I" • is a sponsoring partner in one of the nation's few statewide conferences devoted solely to volunteerism. • has secured over $1.5 million in foundation support for various volunteer initiatives . • is one of a few, and one of the first, state commissions to be codified through state law . • established two of the first statewide youth and senior volunteer groups (MYP AC and Senior Advisory Council) as standing committees to a commission. • is a primary partner in a nationally rare three-year statewide campaign to promote volunteerism (ConnectMichigan). , Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 9 �IV. MCSC's Critical Issues With this list of successes, it would be easy for MCSC and its supporters to become complacent, but this is a dangerous time. MCSC enjoys the firm support of Governor John Engler and many members of the current legislature. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation supported MCSC even before its creation in 1991, through a grant to Youth Service America (YSA). This funding supported the series of meetings that served as policy planning meetings out of which grew the MCSC. The C.S. Mott Foundation supported MCSC's first youthoriented community-based technical assistance programs-Technical Assistance Program (TAP) for Youth Service. The number of MCSC national service programs has doubled in size from its original CNS portfolio in 1993. Finally, MCSC has secured modest funding from for-profit institutions including Ameritech to underwrite the costs of events like the Governor's Service Awards. Combined, these are remarkable steps toward a model of sustainability for the MCSC, but it is also extremely fragile. After the 1998 elections, Michigan will see more than 60 state public servants leave their seats in the state legislature as a result of electorial term limits. In addition, Governor John Engler, regardless of the '98 election results, will not be able to serve as Governor past the year 2002, thereby endangering MCSC's support from Michigan's Executive Branch and MCSC' s significant access to other members of the public sector. Foundations like the W .K. Kellogg Foundation by their nature, work to incubate and not wholly or continuously underwrite initiatives they fund. Ameritech, MCSC's largest for-profit supporter to date, is going through merger plans with a non-Michigan corporation which may, or may not share Ameritech's strong local philanthropic philosophy. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 10 �This evolution of organizations may or may not play in MCSC's favor. CNS and AmeriCorps specifically, started out and remains in large part, associated strongly with the current presidential administration. This is a double edged sword with potentially lethal consequences given the current national political climate. CNS funding remains a partisan issue and is in constant turmoil and question. This situation threatens MCSC' s very existence given its large portfolio of high impact and quality national service programs and their heavy reliance on federal support. Hence, many the positive forces that helped build the MCSC into • what it is today can quickly turn into liabilities. MCSC is dangerously over-reliant on federal funding for administrative and programmatic support. Over 85% ofMCSC's budget can be traced directly back to CNS . It is important to note that MCSC is a strong supporter of CNS's agenda including national service and the focus on "getting things done." In addition, MCSC has advocated tirelessly for the survival and growth of CNS funding in the spirit of promoting national service as a creative way of community problem solving. However, heavy reliance on any one source of funding leaves MCSC, and the volunteer field vulnerable. The one constant force working in MCSC' s favor may be MCSC strong partnerships. Many of the organizations originally involved with the MCSC's creation remain in existence today. MCSC's recently developed an unique partnership with the Family Independence Agency (a State agency) by bring AmeirCorps resources to their Volunteer Services Department. MCSC's Unified State Plan, required by CNS, brought together several statewide organizations to build a plan for coordination of national service programs. Beyond this initiatives, however, there are no functional and regular mechanisms hosted by MCSC to bring together key organizations to the volunteer infrastructure in Michigan around a real tangible task. MCSC' s role as a convener has not been totally suppressed, just significantly Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 11 �reduced. Even beyond these critical issues, MCSC must be able to articulate not only its purpose, but also its value to society and to the lives of Michigan's citizenry. Within the three main functions of MCSC (catalyst, convener, broker) there are three key questions MCSC must effectively and accurately answer over the next two to four years. 1. Has the MCSC lived up to its charge to promote and coordinate service and volunteerism in Michigan? 2. What role(s) has MCSG played well and what ones has it not played well? 3. Based on the previous answers, is MCSC a necessary component of the service and volunteer movement in this state? How? lfMCSC is found to be a necessary part of Michigan's service and volunteer infrastructure, MCSC must develop a strategy to address the afore,etiti<;ned critical f' issues-finding a stable administrative and physical home for MCSC that affords it meaningful access to the public, not-for-profit and profit sectors of our society; develo ing a .... diverse funding base; and maintaining a strong, non-partisan leadership role in Michigan's service and volunteer field. V. Dealing with the Critical Issues In the short term, MCSC must deal with the way it does business today. Specifically, MCSC must reflect on five major questions: • How will MCSC build new alliances, strengthen existing partnerships, and celebrate all collaborative efforts of MCSC with organizations that share MCSC's philosophy of instilling an ethic of service to community in every Michigan citizen? Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 12 �• How will MCSC remain at the center of the various sectors of society in a way that promotes, invites and facilitates dialog around the ethic of service to community and civic renewal? • How will MCSC continue to develop and maintain the highest quality local and national service programs in Michigan? • How will MCSC seek: out new forms of human and financial support that buttress the work of not only this statewide agency, but nonprofits around the state that share MCSC' s vision? • How will MCSC maintain its leadership role in service and volunteerism in the state and the national arenas? To achieve the goals implicit in these questions, MCSC needs to detail specific outcomes, the steps necessary to achieve those outcomes, and the resources required. VI. Desired Outcomes • MCSC, in meaningful partnership with other organizations in the field: is perceived as a host or neutral place for all the sectors of our society to come together to deal with issues related to service and volunteerism. • MCSC manages one of the nation's highest quality portfolios of AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve programs. • MCSC facilitates the creation of a emerging leaders pipeline, job bank or a human resource pool that seeks out potentially high quality leaders and staff for MCSC and its partner organizations to consider as they deal with high tum over rates. • MCSC facilitates the creation of a fund development resource for emerging and struggling volunteer oriented nonprofits that identifies, brokers and builds up the capacity of those nonprofits to access potential sources of support. • MCSC continues to work with like organizations to influence national policy and share best practices around issues of service and volunteerism Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 13 �VII. Steps • Reorganize MCSC internal administrative structures - Build management tier structure - Invest in current staff through skills development and career development processes - Define staff roles, responsibilities, and professional development plans - Create office procedure,s and protocols with fair expectations and achievable goals - Define and develop administrative policies and procedures that structure a comfortable and productive work envirqnment. -Create and maintain strict, u er-friendly and accurate reporting mechanisms for external distribution, internal monitoring d future planning, ,.. • , Collaboration, Collaboration, Collaboration and Communication - Renew, celebrate and cement existing, partnerships and alliances around similar missions of service to community. }' - Develop specific tasks for MCSC and its partner organizations'that work to raise the knowledge and awareness of Michigan's citizens concerning issues of service and volunteerism. - Convene statewide partner organizations to constantly assess the work of the field to determine maximum effectiveness, sharing of vital resources and coordination of efforts. - Continually search for new ways to forge new alliances with "nontraditional" organizations representing the profit, not-for-profit and public sectors of our society. - Coordinate solicitations for financial support with other statewide service and volunteer organizations to maximize resources and galvanize the field. - Educate various sectors of society and their constituencies about service and volunteerism in a way that is unified with partner organizations. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Devel opment & Transition Page 14 �- Develop a "brand" that identifies and communicates how MCSC and all its partner organizations share a common vision for service and civic renewal. - Share funding opportunities will any and all organizations in a way that builds trust, ensures the field's stability and integrity and maximizes resources. - Build committees and events with the field that promote and encourage shared decision making. - Convene a series of meetings and events that focus attention on the service and volunteer field, assess the field's progress, successes and weaknesses, offer suggestions for continuous improvement based on the expertise in the state and around the nation. - Develop and maintain regular communication with the Governor's Office, key legislators, and members of congress. - Develop and maintain regular communication with Michigan communities and their service and volunteer oriented organizations. • Develop Diverse Funding Streams - Seek to scale back MCSC' s reliance on federal funding sources while maintaining high quality programming and administration. -Reach out to the for-profit sector in ways that appeal to their commitment to good corporate citizenship while providing valuable (and needed) resources to Michigan's communities. - Increase the number and quality of relationships with philanthropic institutions in Michigan and across the nation. - Develop and implement an annual mechanism with key legislators, congressional delegates and the state chief executives to educate and solicit support from state and federal sources. Michigan Community Service Commission Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Page 15 �• Promote, Develop and Maintain Quality National and Community Service Programs - Create a management structure that emphasizes partnerships development, oversight and coordination. -Develop more a "user-friendly" reporting and monitoring devices that utilize current technologies (the World Wide Web). - Irilplement a comprehensive grant soliciting, monitoring and development plan for programs that will clearly (to the extent possible) forecast and explain the next four years. -Implement a broad based, compreHensive training and technical assistance program that is grounded in the best practices and that brokers needed expertise from qualified individuals and organizations currently serving the field. - Seek out and develop new program models that may be replicated in communities throughout the state and the nation. VIII. Required Resources • Better utilization of commissioners as experts, advocates, "friend-makers" and resource brokers (see Michigan Community Service Commission Operating Procedures.). • Continued levels of commitment and support from the state executive branch , especially the Governor for the mission and goals of MCSC. • Increased levels of financial and intellectual resources that will aid in focusing in on fund development, program quality, program development, training, technical assistance, outreach and effective administrative processes to serve the needs of MCSC and the field generally. • More permanent (but adaptable) administrative support and physical space for MCSC and its partner organizations in similar circumstances. • Regular events, meetings and programs that communicate the good work of MCSC, Michigan communities, and citizens of Michigan to the various sectors of our society (public, profit, not-for-profit).

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell .;~~:,...... TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: August 28, 1998 - ···--~ - S. Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 {517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 . It is both my duty and sincere pleasure to provide this four-month review and Executive Director's Report to the Commission. In it you will find a brief summary of our accomplishments over the past four months, a quick explanation of various internal modifications to the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staffing and administrative structures, a brief overview of a draft of the staffs recommendations for MCSC' s growth, development and transition over the next four years, and views of the new executive director. Basic Observations Since my first day as Executive Director of MCSC on May 4, 1998, the MCSC staff has engaged in a flurry of activity. Much of that activity has been described in my previous written updates or in the summaries that will be offered by staff at the September 11, 1998 meeting. It is important to note, however, the items not mentioned in those summaries. MCSC's leadership has remained strong. One year ago MCSC's second executive director resigned and shortly thereafter, the Vice Chairperson, Terry Pruitt filled in on an interim basis until a replacement could be found. This continuity in leadership provided stability to the organization. Under Mr. Pruitt's leadership, MCSC implemented Michigan's first, and to-date only, state sponsored Volunteer Investment Grant program. During his nine-month tenure, Mr. Pruitt constructed, coordinated and helped author Michigan's Unified State Plan for national and community service. In addition, Mr. Pruitt effectively and professionally represented MCSC and its chairperson, First Lady, Michelle Engler at public functions as had been the case since his start with MCSC in 1991 as a charter member. All of these tasks were fulfilled by Mr. Pruitt through the generous contribution of the Dow Corning Corporation which agreed to loan Mr. Pruitt to MCSC on a temporary basis. MCSC is deeply indebted to Mr. Pruitt and the Dow Coming Corporation for their contribution. �MCSC staff have put in yeoman's service to the organization this past year. Staff adapted to the chronic shortage of personnel, long hours and steep learning curves. The Michigan's AmeriCorps portfolio has increased to over 20 programs and is currently staffed by only 1.5 FTE's. MCSC has been able to host or co-host a myriad of statewide meetings including the Governor's Service Awards, Make A Difference Day, Volunteerism SuperConference, Launch of America's Promise in Michigan, two visits by Retired General Colin Powell, the Statewide Public Land Cleanup, Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project, convening of statewide partners around the Unified State Plan, and many others. This is a great deal of work by a very small pool of talented and devoted people. During my visits with commissioners and my experiences with MCSC prior to becoming its executive director, it has become poignantly clear that staff-take their lead from the leadership. Commissioners consistently act whenever called upon. MCSC has an active and engaged chair who is seen throughout the nation as a leader in national service and volunteerism. MCSC has more commissioners serving on national boards than nearly any other state in the nation. MCSC is a leader. I take great pride in MCSC' s accomplishments. I take even greater pride in the people that make up its soul-staff, commissioners and friends alike. Confi~:urin&: for Empowerment and Quality Decision Makin&: Based upon the recommendations of Commissioner Pruitt, while serving as Interim Executive Director, and the observations of the inner workings of the MCSC office by the current Executive Director, a three-division supervisory tier structure was set in place (see memo from Commissioner Pruitt attached). This structure consists of three primary areas: Outreach and Fund Development, Programming, and Finance and Administration. These function areas are not new to MCSC. In fact, you will find these three areas illustrated in previous versions of the MCSC organizational chart (see organizational charts attached). However, placing someone with sole responsibility for each of the areas is new. In addition, there are increases to the number of staff that would support the work of MCSC. These proposed changes were reported in the latest Executive Director's Report (dated July 27, 1998). Some concern was raised by commissioners concerning informing the full Commission prior to making such fundamental changes to the way the MCSC operates. The Executive Committee asked that the Executive Director present these changes and the rationale for making them at the September meeting. MCSC began with an extremely small administrative structure-an executive director and an administrative assistant. (It should be noted here that MCSC has retained its original administrative assistant for seven years now.) At that time, MCSC was operating a series of block grants, planning its vision and goals. More relief came in the form of two Points of Light Foundation Youth Ambassadors. MCSC has grown from roughly $156,000 to a $6.5 million organization with ever expanding responsibilities. And while the staff has grown in size, experience and expertise, it is still over tasked and under supported when compared to other state governmental agencies responsible for similar sized programs. As MCSC has grown in size, its administrative and personnel structures have stagnated. New staff were hired for a specific task and would report directly to the Executive Director for guidance, direction and approval. While this worked well for a staff of four to five, it has become burdensome and unwieldy for the current operation that includes nearly a dozen. 2 �Over the course of MCSC' s seven-year history three common themes have emerged. First, that MCSC has a responsibility to provide assistance and oversight to programs. Second, that MCSC needs to develop relationships and initiatives that better the field of service and volunteerism. Third, that MCSC must be able to account accurately and efficiently on the work that it conducts and the funds it uses to carry out its duties. In earlier organizational charts these themes are represented as Outreach, Programming, and Administration. Those same themes are used in MCSC' s most recent restructuring. However, in addition to dividing staff by task, the new staff structure puts leadership components in the management structure so that staff are empowered to do their job. Traditionally, staff were required to gain approval from the Executive Director for everything from ordering supplies to writing correspondence. This slowed down operations and lead to high levels of frustration for staff. This new structure attempts to address those frustrations while also gaining some efficiencies. MCSC' s new organizational structure consists of: Chair, Michelle Engler- Responsible for the overall leadership of the MCSC. Executive Director, Kyle Caldwell- Responsible for the daily operations of the MCSC. Administrative Assistant and Executive Secretary, Mary Estrada - Administrative assistant to the Commission, Chair and Executive Director. Director of Outreach and Fund Development, Lindy (Reurink) Lange Responsible for oversight of all communication, fund development, special events and outreach functions of the MCSC. Communications & Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator, Maria Garcia - Responsible for all major publications and communication tasks of MCSC. In addition, is responsible for coordination and assessment of training and technical assistance needs of MCSC programs. Administrative Support for Outreach and Fund Development, Kathie Vasilion - Provides logistical and administrative support to Outreach and Fund Development Department staff and other staff areas as required. Director of Programs, Paula Kaiser - Responsible for oversight of all national service, school and community-based, and publicly and privately funded programs administered by MCSC. Program Development Coordinator, Angelia Salas- Responsible for the Learn & SERVE Community-Based and School-Based programming, Volunteer Investment Grants, MYPAC and the Service-Learning Leadership Council. Program Development Coordinator, Cynthia Hedden -Responsible for program development and monitoring of Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. Program Development Coordinator, Daphne Wells -Responsible for program development and monitoring of Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. 3 �Administrative Support for Programs and Finance & Administration, Jennifer Epps - Provides logistical and administrative support to Program department staff and the Director of Finance and Administration. Director of Finance & Administration, Garry Gross - Responsible for oversight, documentation and coordination of all state, federal and private funding sources. In addition, is the MCSC Personnel Liaison. Executive Director Views Finally, when I was invited to apply for the Executive Director position at MCSC, I was asked to provide my own philosophy on why and how service and volunteerism are enduring ways to solve community problems. I offer, for your review and consideration, my response. For the Love of Humanity Service and volunteerism are the purest forms of philanthropy-actions taken for "the love of humanity." Beyond the result that an act of kindness produces, there remains an even greater treasure. The time, patience, and the courage to act that combine to make up a volunteer experience are rare and extremely valuable in today's society. When we choose to give money, time, our patience, our caring or understanding we show our courage and determination to deal with some issue or individual. It is this determination to have an impact-meaningful impact-that stands as a cornerstone to ours and every other civilized society. This fundamental principal-actions taken for "the love of humanity"-formed our state and binds its citizens and its communities. Michigan has a rich history of community problem solving through individual and group philanthropic action. Spanning the spectrum, Michigan has seen acts of Christianity and faith by Father Gabriel Richard in the early 1800's, the financial largess of Tracy and Katherine McGregor to the poor of Detroit, and the leadership and drive of Governor George Romney to the volunteer and community rejoining movement. Michigan continues to stand out with its philanthropic action and leader status in promoting service and volunteerism as a way of community problem solving. But why rely on this method of problem solving that can appear insignificant and at times very difficult? The answers are simple and proven. • Service and volunteerism remain [as always] the truly sustainable and enduring forms of problem solving. • With service and volunteerism, there are no barriers of class, age, race, income or religionanyone can contribute. • The process of developing a volunteer or service experience in one's community, in and of itself can bring all of us closer together. And while we can see that these may be true, it is clear that they do not necessarily lead to everyone volunteering in their community. That is why a state agency that promotes and coordinates volunteer and national service efforts is so desperately needed. 4 �Enduring Forms of Problem Solving People and organizations taking responsibility for their own community as well as for themselves is the only long term solution to many of our community ills or woes. No one organization or individual can do it all nor should they. Much as each giving act is unique and valuable, so to are the individuals and organizations who take the necessary steps to meet genuine needs. There is a place for everyone. Each act forms a "patch" of a quilt that constitutes the various sectors of our society. Whether you label them the public, private, profit or social sectors, each has a place and function that binds us. Churches have a long history of practicing the "Golden Rule" by providing aid and comfort to the most needy. Often their very mission requires that they act toward their fellow human being is a way that requires sacrifice and charity. Literally millions belong to the various parishes and religious communities across our great state. However, often times it is also the purpose and charge of these organizations to not only practice, but expand their faith and teachings to others. This often makes for an uncomfortable situation, especially in a country where matters of church and state are considered best separate from each other. Churches are also ill equipped to financially address all the needs we now face. Non profits are one of this nations' rapidly growing industries. Michigan alone can hold claim to some of the world's largest foundations and the largest regional association of grantmakers. The United Way has a strong presence in almost every community in the state and community foundations now serve nearly every county. Human service agencies like Focus Hope in Detroit and the Children's Museum in Marquette are growing and expanding. Training and technical assistance organizations geared toward helping to develop leadership and instill proven business practices in nonprofits are cropping up everywhere to meet this growing demand. And yet, even with all of this growth, there is still far more demand than what these nonprofits are capable of addressing. Many nonprofits live "hand to mouth'' skipping from one grant to another without any real stable funding base. Their constituents are often unable to provide financial support so the "please the customer because the customer is paying" philosophy of the profit sector doesn't apply. Nonprofits are now relying on other nonprofits for their survival. Fortunately, generous support by traditional philanthropic organizations (foundations, United Ways, etc.) to many nonprofits is now buttressed by that of many for-profit organizations. The "Big Three" automakers have their own charitable wings and two have their own volunteer centers for employees to give their time to various causes. The Foundation Center's database lists over 1,380 Michigan-based grantmaking organizations. While this can appear as an overwhelming amount of support available, many nonprofits find that the funding through these organizations is restricted either geographically or by causes. Nonprofits with a specific mission that is focused and targeted find it difficult to find funding that both meets their needs and the interests of the funder. Government has driven much change in society, or some might say, has followed the drive of society's need to change. In either case, government has leveraged both money and law toward meeting critical and genuine needs. Government is credited for lifting the nation out of the financial and social depression during the early part of this century. Government heard the call of many during the Civil Rights Movement and made laws and funded programs to bring a sense of equity to the workplace and to the liberties of all our nation's peoples. 5 �Now, however, we find government at the forefront of reforming the aforementioned programs. Government now works toward returning responsibility for our own community to our own communities. Government has placed service and volunteerism back on the nation's agenda with new national service initiatives. Government is credited with all of these things, but still is unable to make the key, core and fundamental change necessary for all of our citizens to prosper in the communities in which they live. Government, in much of the public view, is now often credited with being more of a hindrance than any type of help. Yet, it is government, with its extensive financial resources and multifaceted experiences and views, and tremendous political power that can leverage resources and write rules that focus societies' attention on itself. It is truly the work of all of these various elements to our society-our patch work quilt-that provide the support and comfort to Michigan's needy and those needing to give. And at their·-core is a fundamental belief that we must take responsibility for our community-for our own mending. Throughout time we have seen that the actions of people and not just organizations are what make the difference over the long haul. Few Barriers Acts of service and volunteerism recognize few barriers. Someone can volunteer regardless of class, age, income, race or religion. The only barriers are our willingness, our courage, our imagination and our abilities. All of these are centered within each of us and not within society's pressures. A high school student from inner-city Detroit can take time to help tutor an early elementary student in reading. A retired school teacher can volunteer their time in the classroom to mentor the next generation of teachers. A factory worker can serve on the board of their local United Way. A family can spend time together to serve meals at a local soup kitchen for the homeless. A retired entrepreneur can donate their business knowledge and skills to developing nonprofits. Anyone can do it. In his book, "Who Speaks for God," Reverend Jim Wallis calls on everyone to develop a new approach to our philanthropic spirit. It [new approach] will call for a heightened level of volunteer activity from every sector of society-both the energy of young people and the expertise of older generations. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that anyone can be great because anyone can serve. This can apply to individuals, organizations and communities-we merely have to apply it. The Process is an Outcome Finally, the process of developing a quality volunteer experience is extensive and often complicated, but it is this process that brings members of a community closer together, even before the act of kindness begins. Much like any problem, those addressed by a volunteer require a definition of the need, a plan for addressing the need, implementation of that plan, and evaluation of the plan's effectiveness. Sometimes we conduct this process within ourselves and sometimes we work in groups. The interaction forces discussion and debate of the issues we face . The methodical planning and research of a need helps prevent "knee jerk" reactions to critical problems. One person helping another-actually doing the work-makes it easier for each of us to become more connected with our own humanity. And the deep reflective process that follows a quality volunteer experience builds a legacy for others to emulate. It is often the process that makes the greatest impact on all parties involved. Michigan has engaged in such a process and has experienced, first hand, the power of corning together to solve a problem. 6 �Building the Patchwork Quilt In its wisdom, the philanthropic field in Michigan came together (at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation) in 1991 to ask some very fundamental questions concerning volunteerism in the state. State and local organizations from across Michigan came together to talk about their perceptions on what Michigan needed and what Michigan was doing. Out of that discussion, in conjunction with several subsequent ones, grew the idea of a state entity to help promote and coordinate service and volunteerism in Michigan. Again wisely, Governor Engler appointed a commission to deal with this issue and Mrs. Michelle Engler was asked to serve as its chair. Since its creation by executive order in 1991, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has served as a ·convener, catalyst and broker -in the promotion of community problem solving through service. But most important among these functions , I believe, MCSC has served as the one place where all sectors of our society (public, profit, nonprofit) can come together to discuss volunteerism and service as community problem solving models and as a way of building an emphasis on civic renewal. Reverend Wallis talks about our civic renewal and the need for us to come together at a "table" and discuss what our communities and society in general should look like. He says, The image of the "table" is a powerful one for me. It runs through biblical history and it is as contemporary as the evening meal that helps hold a family together, the potluck supper that cements social and spiritual connections, or the special gathering of loved ones that marks a reunion or holiday celebration. It is at the table that we see each other's faces, remind ourselves of the ties that bind us, and rededicate ourselves to who and what we were meant to be. It is also an opportunity to be thankful for what we have so that it might not slip away .. .. ..... Only by corning together can we see the possibilities that could begin to move us forward. Anyone can come to the table. If there are not enough chairs, we must find some more. If there is not enough room, we must make the table larger. Even the shape of the table will change as we discover that round tables allow us to see each other better, and on more equal terms, than the old rectangular styles. MCSC has show in its work that it is the only place (the table) where all the patches can come together and make a seamless quilt that covers all the needs of our society and its communities. Similar to when community members would bring their scraps of cloth to a common table, plan out what the final product will be and use their skills, needle and thread to build it together, Michigan has worked to build something special. Whether we call it a movement, a field or a way of life service and volunteerism are the needles and thread we use to bind our communities like patches, to make our Michigan way of life-our quilt. In its role as a convener of people and organizations; in its capacity to broker resources both financial and human; in its ability to act as a catalyst in developing new and exciting methods of community problem solving, MCSC will be key to building sustainable methods of meeting genuine needs and for making better communities for Michigan citizens. 7 �MCSC has played host to the some of the work completed on a patchwork quilt we can see as our service and volunteer field in Michigan-MCSC is the convener. This will have to continue because no single individual, no group or organization, no fully funded volunteer program, nor any one non-funded service organization will alone be enough to meet our society's needs. Only through collaboration, each type of volunteer and human service agency playing to their own unique strengths, will we solve our society's problems. 8 �Michigan Community Service Commission Michelle Engler Chairperson Frank Dirks IT.

Members of the Commission are asked to declare actual or potential conflict of interest situations at the start of each meeting where the agenda indicates such a conflict will occur. If a conflict of interest situation develops during Commission discussion, the Commissioner with the conflict is expected to notify the Chairperson. A conflict of interest is defined as a situation where a member of the Commission_or their wife, husband, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, brother-in-law, stepbrother, sister, sister-in-law, stepsister, daughter-inlaw, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandparents, step parent, stepchild, or grandchild is serving or has served in the last year as a trustee, officer, director, or employee in an entity which is requesting approval of a grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission or any other family or professional relationship which a ·commissioner at his/her own discretion deems a conflict of interest. 2. Any members of the Commission with a conflict will be called on by the Chairperson to explain the conflict. The Commission member will then be excused by the Chairperson while other members of the Commission discuss the application and vote its acceptance or denial as well as other grant applications under the same program. Following action on the grant request, the Commissioner may return to the Commission work. 3. Michigan Community Service Commission members who are unsure about a conflict of interest situation should discuss their concerns with the Chairperson prior to the meeting where the conflict might occur. 4. If this restriction creates a situation in which the Commission does not have enough eligible voting members to achieve a quorum, the Commission may involve the normally excluded member subject to the following conditions: a) The Chairperson will randomly and in a non-discretionary manner select the number of recused members to achieve a quorum; �Conflict of Interest Page 2 5. b) Notwithstanding the above, no Commission member may, under any circumstances, participate in any discussions or decisions regarding a grant application submitted by an organization which he/she is or was affiliated according to the definition above; c) If recused members are included so as to achieve a quorum, the Commission must document the event and report it to the Corporation within 30 days of the vote. In addition, Commission members are restricted from directly assisting organizations of w~ich they are a trustee, director, officer, or employee in preparing a grant application to the Commission. In general, the Michigan Community Service Commission wants to err on the side of too stringently enforcing conflict of interest policies in order to assure that both the fact and the perception of any unethical conduct is avoided. I, the undersigned agree to adhere to the above policy and procedure.

L- a 1 learned that the more people you have, the more things will ~et ~one. ~orkin~ together as a team is the k~y for success. When everyone ch1ps 1n and g1ve. their hand, great things are accomplished. It also give you a great sense of happmess because you know you're helping someone else in their tim~ of nee~. it's ~lso great to meet other AmeriCorps members and see what a great JOb they re domg, too. -Melissa Rewa () ·-Q) L- E <( 3 CD .., -· () a.., -c en )> en a. L- a () ·-Q) L- E <( en a. L- a () L- My experience at camp was very knowledgeable. Besides the fact that I learned camp games, and how to roast a marshmallow, I also learned how to work together in a team and as a team . My experience with other people was good because I am very shy, and this past weekend I opened up and talked along with laughing and playing games. This experience will be remembered all ways. -Lekia Nolan The AmeriCorps Signature Project was a very interesting one. It was not what I expected at all. I found out two very important things though .. I do not like bugs, and I do not like trash. It is sad to think that people can have that much disrespect for the land around them. Other than those tow things, I had a good time. I met some nice people, and even got to know some of GCAP"s members a little better. It was definitely a leaning experience. I think that this is definitely going to be one of the most memorabl~~~xperiences during my year with AmeriCorps. --Jackie Shanks Q) E "<( en a. s.... a () s.... Q) E <( ..,-o0 .What I had to rer:n~mber ~as that these activities involved things that I enjoyed (team participation, hearing and discussing ideas and opinions from different people) and my frustration was not coming from having to-do the activities but getting lost during the drive· up there. Once I dealt with where my negative attitude was coming from, I was able to change my focus and get the most out of that day. I also met many other AmeriCorps members from around the state with various backgrounds. The second day we were at camp we participated in cleaning up the forest. We were all very angry about the amount of garbage and environmentally hazardous material people just dumped into this area. By the end of the day I had heard several ideas from members, discussing solutions to this problem. Even on the way home some of us were still discussing solutions. We all agreed that this will continue to be a serious problem until someone takes a stand and says enough. -Lisa Smith 3 CD .., -0 · a.., -c en )> 3 CD .., ca .., "0 CJJ ): -ct ( c "'C CJ SdJ08!J8WV sdJ08P8W'if sdJ08!J8W'if SdJ08!J9W\f �j I mu.st start by s~ying ~hat I did enjoy some of the experiences as a participant of the srgnature ~roJect thrs year. I r~ally feel like 1got to know my fellow AmeriCorps r:ne~bers qurte wel.l, some of therr anyway. I learned a little about the history of Mrchrgan .. That ~as rmportant. However, I was very disappointed with the location of the proJect berng an old landfill. I was under the impression that we were going to clean. up the forest (that's what we were told). Reflecting back, 1can not measur~ the rmpact of our eff?rts. Wildlif~ may or may not benefit from the clean up. If gettrng the name of AmerrCorps out rn the community and promoting volunteerism --Nina Davis was our objective, in my opinion, we did not meet the goal. Regarding GCAP program and members: Disappointed that so many members do not take their AmeriCorps responsibilities seriously i.e. the State Signature Project is an expectation not an option. Learned many positive thing about AmeriCorps members that went-s.everal tested the limits in spending a week-end with such a setting, one tested her dislike to drive such a distance with minimal preparations and instruction; some others displayed leadership qualities in the team activities , some never gave up at an activity. Also noted that some shortcoming in tolerance for others and the desire to do tit for tat in their annoyance with a situation. Regarding the AmeriCorps members I met and the ones that I teamed with, I found the tolerance for team building exercise fairly low but their sense of humor high and their determination to use it to solve problems encountered in the clean up high. Most of them were diligent workers in moving the bigger items during the clean-up and uned their serfse of huhlor to great advatage. There weas a lot of AmeriCorps spirit in the clean up itself. It was amazing what teamwork accomplished in moving so many big itmes and I can see why the DNR needed strong bodies to help them with such a project. Faced wth a project in which little could be visibly seen, I heard very little moaning or groaning but a let'sjust get to work attitude. I had a sense that AmeriCorps members cared and watched out for each other. I troroughly enjoyed meeting and dicussing their assignments with the AmeriCorps members. -Pat Legg �What 1learned from going to and being a part of the weekend. The days spent with my other AmeriCorps members bonded me with people I thought I had little in common with or thought I never would meet. First off the long drive we had was great. 1saw the part of Michigan I rarely get to look at. Me and the AmeriCorps· members 1rode up with became great friends we shared in the adventure of being lost and just trying to find the camp. Boy what an interesting drive we had. The days a the camp truly made me feel part of a team, unified with different types of men and women from backgrounds different than my own. We ate, slept, played and partied together. It went from being a 'me' to a 'we' and 'us'. Clean the landfill made me mad at all the junk and trash that dirties up our country. I guess after all the hard work we put in gave me a sense of special work. We cleaned a small part of America -AMERICORPS!! We bonded the entire trip, the Genesee County AmeriCorps, and the other AmeriCorps from around the state. The work was very hard and very, very draining, but the result was that we helped. I guess when it was time to go none of us did (I mean leave the new friends we had made). Hugs abounded. it felt nice to learn _about myself and my 'new' friends.--Aci Chambers First of alii would like to say Thank You very much. It's always a pleasure to experience new and different surroundings. As a inner-city kid who has spent his entire life here in Flint, the county was quite refreshing. It has been three days since the completion of my service project and I already miss the peace of mind 1was able to achieve. On the other hand, the food was horrible .... pork products turn my stomach. 1remember the hollow !eeling driving me nuts! For future reference the meal plan should be Improved to the specific need of every individual. --Monte! Hartfield I really-enjoyed the experience I had with other AmeriCorps volunteers from across the state. _1 made a new friend that I will be corresponding with. 1was really imp~es~ed With the concern AmeriCorps Director showed for me. 1am speaking of Cmdl from Marquette. The team I was assigned to was very positive and worked · · t_very hard. --Debra Price �I What did I learn? I learned that I will not want to be part of another service project unless it is planned and executed in a more organized manner. As far as the people were concerned, I really enjoyed them all. The actual project seemed to be a useless effort. If we cleaned a state park what was it used for-not picnics I'm sure. I would rather a housing project or a vacant lot within the city. --Arleatha Bryant May 8th and 9th at Ocqueoc Lake, the AmeriCorps had a signature project. I learned survival tips and enhanced my .leadership abilities. The only survival tip I actually learned was the acorn top trick.* I strengthened my leadership abilities by opening up. Loosen up and getting to know the group. Learn from them, listen to them, le£ them lead, which leads back to learning from the group. It's great to be a leader and a follower. That's what makes a great leader. --Andre Orr My experience in Mackinaw was one that I'll never. f~rget. My first impression was that we would be outside camping, and wo~ld be ~rntated by hundreds of hungry mosquito's. But as we arrived that impression qu1ckly ~vaporated. The fir~t day t smoothly and 1 really enjoyed meeting the many d1fferent follow Amen?orps The activities were great in such that we had fun and got to duce, meet, and work with unfamiliar faces. ~he next day, Saturday, we :e :~iii­ worked on the forest for the remainder of the time up there. Everyone ~o rf ~ f gently and ·accomplished fhe goal set for the day. Overall, I ha~ a won e u lme and would love to go again. - -Tyquan Cobbm ~~~Michigan. mtr~­ * ask Leisa Richardson about the acorn cap survival tip �• What did I learn? The Signature Project this year compared to last was not organized well. I was disappointed with the recreational activities but I did get a chance to get to know the other Genesee County AmeriCorps members better. I was also disappointed with the breakfast and lunch since there wasn't a choice of meat for those who do not eat pork. The actual project was okay, but made me realize how out of shape I am. I talked to other members in my group about what they did as AmeriCorps whis was interesting. It would be nice to see other AmeriCorps member more than once a year. --Keneshia Bryant I found that it is easy to talk to people with various backgrounds as long as we have on thing in common, be it love of service, nature, music, or people. I learned that I like everyone I work with. I was actually surprised that I got along with everyone. I hadn't expected to. I thought that they were too loud, too quiet, or too whiney for little old me. I was mistaken. I wish I had more opportunities to get to know other people in our group, maybe a picnic or barbecue? I learned that there is a lot more to be done in the forest to pick up garbage. Although our group alone must have pulled out fifty bags full of trash, we barely made a dent in the layer upon layer of glass and tin. I was shocked at the amount of debris we found, as well as abandoned cars, refrigerators, and chairs, I was also amazed that there was still some wildlife living in the area. I was exhausted after only 4 hours. I learned that I could do a lot more physical labor than I thought I could. I confirmed that I really like being outside; I love the smells, textures, colors, and sounds of the woods and lakes. I like being dirty and sweaty and having. sore muscles. But I learned that I don't like living that way. I eventually will want to be clean and relaxed.--Jonquil Bertschi - The AmeriCorps State Signature Project was a good experience for me. I took this past week-end as a chance to get to know my fellow AmeriCorps members. I am fairly new to the program, so this turned out to be a good opportunity to make new friends. -Marlo Narro � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lansing , Te lephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave. Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Administrative Update DATE: August 14, 1998 Attached is the comparative financial statement for the quarter ending June 30, 1998. This statement reflects the first three quarters of our fiscal year. As you can see, we are currently under our projected budget. In the last two months, the Commission has seen a large increase in expenditures as we have been working on increasing the size and capabilities of our office. We have also encumbered the entire work project from the prior year, which will be reflected on our fourth quarter financial statement. In the State GF/GP, we are currently anticipating a surplus at the end of the year of roughly $60,000. After discussions with the budget office of both the Michigan Jobs Commission and the Department of Management and Budget, we have submitted a work project request for these funds for Fiscal Year 1999. This surplus amount is the result of having Terry Pruitt as our Interim Executive Director for seven months of the year. As Mr. Pruitt was an loaned executive from the Dow Corporation, we were left with a large surplus in our salaries and benefits line item.
