Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF & Supporting Organization 9-30-01 Financial Statements Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions The variance from budget is primarily due to timing issues. In comparing the 9-30-01 numbers to last year, we had received $555,000 through 9-30-00. Based on the projected numbers that were run for the Membership Task Force, the $705,000 still appears to be a reasonable goal. Note 2: Conference Income & Expenses R egistration numbers for the Annual Conference are running significantly below the original projection. Management is looking at several areas to cut costs while still providing attendees with the same high quality experience they are used to. We have already reduced the number of tours and cut back on head counts for meals. Pending the outcome of final negotiations with the hotel, we are estimating a final loss of $50,000-$75,000. As of October 18, 2001, 400 people were registered for the conference, which is roughly half of previous years. Note 3: Publication Income The variance from budget is due to sales of the Directory falling off sooner than anticipated. Following the Annual Conference we will under take a special promotion to move the remaining directories. Inventory at the end of September was as follows.

This reduction could potentially result in a $33,000 reduction in interest income for the current year. Note 5: Salaries The favorable variance is due to the following: Admin support for MCSC grants Downstairs receptionist position not filled Detroit office assistant not hired Staff wages charged to Dissemination Wages to MHSDA project CMF Admin other Special Projects Reduction of overtime & temp staff $9,600 18,600 4,300 3,100 5,500 7,600 14,900 Note 6: Computer Due to the delay in upgrading the iMIS software (membership & meeting data base) last year, $21,000 in expenses that were budgeted for 2000-01 h it our current fiscal year. Currently, $45,000 that was budgeted this year to purchase an on-line registration module for iMIS, is being used to purchase software and equipment that will allow staff remote access to their desk top computers; with the potential to provide internet training to our members down the road. Note 7: Travel The variance from budget is partially due to the increase in air travel and fuel costs experienced this year. Also the CMF core budget is covering a greater portion of the auto costs for the President which is split with the WKKF III Grant.

Swaney, Jr. Chair, Investment Committee Re: CMF 6-30-01 Investment Report Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the June 30, 2001 Investment Report as recommended by the CMF Investment Committee. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment performance for the operating and pennanent endowment funds. The reports contained in this section were reviewed by the Investment Committee on August 16, 2001. The next Investment Committee meeting is scheduled for November 19, 2001 to review the September 30, 2001 investment results. The enclosed Investment Report has been broken down into three sections. Investment Performance Report The bench-mark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below. S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 International Short Bond Bond Cash 40% 10% 6% 14% 15% 15% 0% Since the equity portion of the permanent funds is invested in index funds, the variances from the bench-marks are primarily due to investment management fees (which are roughly 21 basis points), and the variance in the asset allocation mix from the target established by the Investment Committee and approved by this Board. On November 19, 2001 the Investment Committee will be meeting with the investment managers to review the allocation of international equities. S:\Boards and Commiltees\CMF\Board\200 1-02110.31 .0 IMeeting Mmerials\ lnvestmenti0-3 1-0 l .doc �Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs the CMF VP of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a quarterly basis. To keep administrative time to a minimwn CMF maintains one checking account to pay all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are due to endowment fund expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed, by transferring cash from the endowment funds back to CMF. The high concentration of cash in the William Allen Fund is due to an influx of cash during the month of June, which was invested in July. On May 11 ,2001 the CMF Board ofTrustees approved the establishment ofthe Michigan Conununity Foundation's Youth Project (MCFYP) Endowment Fund. A permanent endowment fund as approved by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, by using the grant dollars remaining from the Round 12 challenge grant. The purpose of this fund is to support the ongoing technical assistance and training needs of community foundation youth advisory committees in Michigan. Thi s fund is being invested over a six month period ending December 2001. Investment Performance Comparison Report The variances from the Cambridge actual one-year rate of returns, are primarily due to the returns in the venture capital and private equity market, which are categories not allowed under our current investment policy. You will note that over a three-year period the endowment funds that have been fully-invested during this period, track relatively close to the Cambridge pool. The Committee will continue to monitor the differences with the Cambridge pool carefully, and consider adjustments to the asset allocations where appropriate.

David Campbell, Chair, CMF Maureen Smyth, Chair, Supporting Organization Committee From: Jack Hopkins, Chair, MCFV Donnell Mersereau RE: 2001 Annual Report Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures Mission: To support joint programs of community foundations that result in economies of operations and growth in assets. Board of Trustees Jack Hopkins, Chair Mariam C. Noland, Vice Chair Robert G. Tambellini, Secretary/Treasurer Lucy R. Allen Elizabeth A. Cherin Neeta M. Delaney Sandi Dobbins Brenda L. Hunt Olivia P. Maynard Chris A. McGuigan Victor J. Papale Patricia A. Reynolds Diana R. Sieger Jeanne Snow David A. Woodworth The Community Foundations' Ventures Products Fund, with primary support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Mott Foundation, continues to be the primary project of MCFV. Activities this year have focused on: Minimum standards-47 community foundation boards have validated that their community foundations meet standards on governance, finance and administration, donor relations, grantmaking, communications and convening. A common identity system-All Michigan community foundations now include the word community in their name. Many are now presenting their name in a common way while retaining local logos. A capacity building curriculum- Trustees and staff participated in a series of four interactive distance-learning sessions on marketing. A statewide professional advisor marketing campaign-Ads placed with statewide profess ional periodicals, and magazines like Business Week have been complemented by local activities for advisors. �MCFV Annual Report October 12, 2000 Page2 Regional marketing activities-Six regions in the state are working collaboratively on regional marketing activities that will build a greater and more consistent marketing presence, create efficiencies in operations and help community foundations better serve their communities. New FIMS tracking- FIMS is the infonnation management software used by 32 Michigan community foundations. A new donor and advisor database was designed to allow for automatic tracking and reporting of activities related to the Venture Product Fund advertising campaign. Products from the ftrst phase of the Venture Products Fund, such as the PowerPoint presentation, What is a Community Foundation?, and the tag line "For Good. For Ever. ", are now being used by community foundations throughout the United States. The work of the Venture Products Fund is being continued in 2001 and 2002 as the Community Foundation Research and Development Incubator, overseen by a national advisory committee including Michigan community foundations, and funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the C.S. Mott Foundation and Michigan community foundations. The Incubator will continue the mission of the Venture Products Fund to be a responsive, representative, entrepreneurial and high-value initiative supporting the growth of community foundations through activities contributing to these goals: 1. 2. 3. To conduct research that will result in a better understanding of target audiences and how to better meet their needs and wants, To develop products and tools that will aid in continued asset growth and leadership of community foundations, and To develop communication tools, promotions and processes that will enhance the work of community foundations in reinforcing their identity and role with target donor groups, advisors and the public. Working together, community foundations in Michigan are proving that "it's about leveraging our collective strength to benefit each community foundation." i :\dmerserlmcvf\mcfvannualrepot1200 l.doc �Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures Board of Trustees Terms of Office Class of 2004 Brenda L.

Phase I of planning - covering September 2000 through April2001- included Board and Executive Committee meetings, data gathering via focus groups and a Member survey, and intensive staff work. Major accomplishments of Phase I include: • Completion of internal and external factors and trends reported in " Writing the Next Chapter" (Tobin), " Key Trends Affecting CMF" (stall), and the analysis ofCMF's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) (Board and staff). • Completion and analysis of focus groups and surveys to obtain member input involving: a focus group of eight members from family, corporate. community, and independent foundations in the southeastern region; four focus groups with 19 "next generation" family foundation members, and a Member survey to which 235 members responded. • Completion of a draft strategic plan comprised of a new vision statement, beliefs/values statements, major goals and key strategies to achieve those, and benchmarks or metrics to be used in measuring CMF's success in achieving its new goals. Phase II of the Strategic Plan will occur between May and October 200 I. Key objectives for this phase are: • • • Refining aJI components of the plan based on Board input obtained at its May 2001 meeting. The major focus of the refinement will be finalizing major goals and adding key strategies and tactics to achieve those. Completing a plan for the internal reorganization of CMF to strengthen its infrastructure in support of achieving the new strategic plan. Presenting the plan to members at the Fall 200 1 Annual Conference. �ATTACHMENT A 3 Minutes of March 22. 2001 Executive Committee Strategic Planning Session On March 22, 2001 , members of the Executive Committee, Board and CMF staff, met for a strategic planning session. Vicki Rosenberg opened the meeting and then turned it over to Bob Tobin, who facilitated the session. Data-gathering. The first issue discussed was the status of data-gathering efforts. Members briefly discussed: (1) FERA's report ofthe February 1, 2001 focus group in Detroit that involved nine members representing corporate, independent, fam ily, and community foundations; and (2) the final version of the Member Survey which was distributed to CMF's key contact person in each member organization. As a result of this discussion, members requested that CMF find ways to collect data from "next generation" family foundation members. SWOT Analysis: The second issued discussed was the draft SWOT analysis (SWOT= strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats). Members suggested the following changes to the analysis: • • • • Strengths: (1) change "Michigan's strong base of organized phHanthropy" to Michigan's strong culture of philanthropy; (2) add collegiality; (3) change "comprehensive knowledge" to "global knowledge". Weaknesses (1) add "imbalance of influence and service based on member type and size." Opportunities: (1) add "CMF's roJe as an effective connector of different constituency types". Threats: (I) add "segregating members by type "which members believe threatens member to member exchange and learning; (2) add "for profit competition for members and member services", and (3) change "diminished relationship with state legis lature due to terms limits" to" diminished relationships with state government". Values: The third issue discussed was the list of values drafted by CMF staff. Members suggested the following regarding this Hst: (I) remove "nonpartisanship" and consider replacing it with "neutrality"; (2) add "common good"; (3) keep "servant-leadership"; (4) remove "relationships" because it is implicit in "inclusivity" which was also on the list. Vision: The fo urth issue discussed was a draft vision statement. Members discussed several key ideas to be included in the vis ion statement, including "civility", "common good", and the difference between the work of CMF and the work of its members. A final suggestion was made to revise the statement to read "To engage the citizens of Michigan in effective philanthropy, contributjng to the common good." There was agreement that this was an improvement over the previous version, but needed additional work. Vicki Rosenberg thanked the Committee for its input and assured them that staff would followup on their request to gather data from "next generation" family foundation members and continue working on the SWOT, values, and vision statements for review at the May I 0, 200 I Strategic Planning session in Midland. I ewp vjroscnberg/2001/ExccComm.SummJ-22 �4 ATTACHMENT B Date: April 27, 200 I Ranny Riecker, Chair and Members of the CMF Board of Trustees To: From: Vicki J. Rosenberg Robert S. Collier Re: Summary of Data Gathering Focus Group & Member Survey Introduction In winter 2001, CMF hired Formative Evaluation Research Associates (FERA) to design and implement two data gathering efforts to provide significant member input to the strategic planning process. These included: • A February 1, 2001 focus group held in Detroit with nine CMF members representing independent, community, and family foundations and corporate giving programs ranging in asset size from under 5 million dollars to $100 million or more with I to over I 0 years experience. Members included paid and volunteer staff, trustees, and one donor. • A Member s urvey disseminated to CMF's key contact person, in all487-member organizations, requesting responses from at least two individuals-- a senior staff member and trustee, or, for family foundations, two trustees ifthere were no paid staff. Attachment 2(A) provides aggregate data on: o The importance of and CMF's effectiveness in addressing its six purpose areas; o The importance ofCMF serving as an intermediary o The importance ofCMF sharing information outside of Michigan o Member satisfaction overall ("Are there ways CMF can better serve members?") o Overall value of membership in CMF ("Perceptions of overall value") o ProfiJes of respondents by: ( 1) foundation type, asset size, and years in existence; and (2) respondents' role and years in the field. • In April 200 I, Susan Howbert and Vicki Rosenberg of CMF conducted four " next generation" family foundation focus groups via conference call to obtain these members' unique perspectives. Participants included 18 family members and one staff member. In total, 263 individual members, representing close to 200 foundations, provided direct input into CMF's strategic planning process. A consolidated summary of findings from the February I Focus Group and Member survey follows. A separate summary of the "Next Generation" focus groups and a list of those participants serves as Attachment 2 (B). �5 Summary of Key Findings Overall, the majority of CMF members: • • • • • • • • Get "excellent" or "good" value for their membership Endorse the current mission Need clarification of our purposes, particularly increase, promote, and lead Expect members to be our highest priority, with emphasis on: o Every action being of benefit to members first o Knowing every member and their needs o Meeting every members' needs while recognizing the diversity of those needs o Providing equitable service across membe.r types, asset levels, and location, with the stronger calls coming from corporate givers and famil y foundations Endorse the value of principles and best practices, with emphasis on: o Education o Technical assistance o Dissemination of knowledge developed in Michigan and elsewhere Want improved communication, with a focus on: o Better promotion of CMF o High quality web and print based products o More ways for two-way communication between staff and members o More ways to access infonnation Endorse networking as one of the most valuable purposes, with a focus on: o More issue-focused opportunities relevant for all members regardles:; of type o More opportunities for member-to-member exchange and peer education o Expanded regional and statewide offerings Question the intermediary role, with a focus o n: o The role of members in the decision making process o Costs/benefits to members and CMF o Clarity of connections to mission and purposes The data-gathering also identified tension points around two issues: • Increasing Philanthropy in Michigan. What's the appropriate balance between encouraging and assisting in the creation of new family foundations vs. growing the assets of community foundations? • Membership Growth. What are the costs/benefits of continuous growth in membership on the quality of the membership experience? A fuller presentation of findings will be presented at the Board Strategic Planning Session on May 10. If you would like a full set ofthe data, p lease contact Vicki Rosenberg. �6 Date: April27, 200 1 Ranny Riecker, Chair and Members of the CMF Board of Trustees To: From: Vicki J. Rosenberg Robert S. Collier Summary of Key Findings Next Generation Family Foundation Conference Call Focus Group Series Re: Introduction Between April 17 and 26,200 1, Susan Howbert and Vicki Rosenberg conducted four conference call focus groups invo lving 18 next generation family foundation trustees and one family foundation staff member residing in six states. Our goal was to gather input regarding this group of members' experiences, ideas, and needs to inform the strategic planning process. The calls focused on five key issues: I . How participants first learned about CMF 2. How participants believe CMf has helped them with their philanthropic work 3. How participants believe CMF could improve its support to next generation members 4. How CMF might attract new fam ily foundation members 5. What CMF might consider regarding the strategic planning process Each call was very active, animated and informative, providing us with valuable insights into next generation members' experiences, interests, and needs. Key Findings • • • • Most participants learned about CMF from relatives or friends Most participants placed highest value on CMF for: o Networking and educational opportunities, particularly the annuaJ conference and last year's family foundation retreat. As a result of hearing others' comments about the conference, an out-state member plans to attend her first this year o Resources and publications, particuJarly "how-to guides" to LrUstee respons ibilities and foundation operations o Events that encourage cross-generational discussions among family members. Having issues as focal points of discussions provides common ground for families struggling with communication and control issues All participants identified generational inclusion and transfer of control as their greatest concern Participant requests for new services included: �7 Summary of Key Findings: Next Generation Family Foundation Focus Groups Page2 o o o • • A primer on family foundation trusteeship for next generation members More accessibility to resources via the web More structured opportunities for networking among next generation members in one day or weekend workshops o Workshops on improving communication and trust-building between generations o Delivery of publications to their homes rather than foundation offices Participant ideas for attracting new family foundation members included: o Offering free trial memberships o Asking members to contact nonmembers o Working with advisors to the wealthy and placing ads in trade publications o Offering discounts to first time conference attendees o Offering free conference registration with sponsorship from a member o Offering more retreats/events for family foundations only Participant thoughts for the strategic planning process: • Hold annual conference the ftrst week in October every year • Work with a marketing ftrm to broaden awareness ofCMF • Provide a place on the conference registration form for indicating interest in particular sessions to inform conference planning (repeating popular sessions is one example) • Encourage more diversity among conference speakers • Convene more conference calls for networking and outreach to members -they enjoyed talking with us and their peers! �8 Family Foundations Next Generation Conference Call Focus Group Series Participants Mary Frey Bennett Third Generation Member.

Rosenberg Robert S. Collier Re: Draft Vision & Values Statements Background The most recent additions to the draft strategic plan are revised draft vision and values statements. These statements reflect input from CMF Staff and Board Members. The vision statement articulates what we hope to achieve by the end of the next five years. We believe that the draft vision is doable, measurable, motivational, and distinctive to CMF. The values statements express what CMF is and hopes to be within the next five years. These statements, developed by Staff and Board Members, will guide our day-to-day work, and, we hope, represent how our members and key stakeholders know us. These statements have evolved from an initial list of six words -- learning, innovation, servantleadership, excellence, inclusivity, and relationships to the four presented below. The explication of each value draws on our beliefs and ties directly to one or more of our six purposes. For ease of reference, the purposes are underlined. Revised Vision Statement: Making Michigan the best state for organized philanthropy. Revised Values Statements We Build Relationships to Last - with our members first- and with the philanthropic, non-profit, private, and public sectors, and the general public second - through advocating and networking. Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every individual engaged in organized, Michigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse group of members in our thinking and planning. Our existing and future relationships with leaders in all sectors are built to bring added value to our members individuaJiy and collectively. We Act as a Servant-Leader for organized philanthropy - by promoting and increasing philanthropy in Michigan. We serve by understanding and meeting members' individual needs. We lead by anticipating and then meeting members' collective needs. In this role, we espouse the highest ethical standards. Our success is measured by the health and �12 Draft Vision & Values Statements Page 2 vitality of organized philanthropy in Michigan and by the level of civil society in our state -- now and in the future. We Have, Share, and Seek Knowledge- with members and in support of members through education and networking. Our knowledge is personified by staff with deep expertise in philanthropic principles and best practices worldwide - from the technical to the topical to the philosophical, and with skills in research and communications; by members who continually redefine best practices and represent expertise in a vast array of subjects and on a wide range of issues; and by partners and collaborators who enrich our understanding of the needs for and impact of organized philanthropy. We Strive for Excellence in Everything We Do - through a strong infrastructure-- clear goals, strong leadership, expert staff and effective management systems- that enable us to be nimble, entrepreneurial, and good stewards of our resources. These qualities allow us to provide our members with the best, most comprehensive services avaiJable to organized philanthropy anywhere. We believe to achieve excellence requires CMF as a whole -- each staff member and the Board of Trustees -- to reflect, innovate, communicate, grow, and improve. Our goal is to have all members recognize CMF as the most valuable association to which they belong. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

RESO L VE D tha t $45,000 from the 2000-2001 C ore Budget fund ba la nce be allocated .f or additional stra tegic planning services. Background At the June 2, 2000, Board Meeti ng a resolution was passed approving a one-year contract with Williams Marketing Services of Grand Rapids, now the Williams Group, for $45,000 for strategic planning services. The Strategic Planning process is on schedule for completion and presentation to the membership at the Fall Conference in Detroit. We are pleased with the leadership skills provided by Bob Tobin of the Williams Group for this process. In order to complete this process and allow for Mr. Tobin to assist the staff with implementation task forces, we would like to extend this contract to November 30, 2001 and increase the dollar amount to $72,500. We want to add that Mr. Tobin's planned activities were expanded by his facilitation of three planning days with staff. This has been a valuable learning experience for staff, who have made a significant contribution to this planning process!

Third, we are recommending that the position ofSecretaryffreasurer be combined as allowed by the bylaws and appreciate Dick's willingness to assume both responsibilities.

Mawby and Kathryn A. Agard Re: Update on Learning to Give As Attachment A - the progress report indicates, great activity is taking place at Learning to Give. Because the majority of current fund ing ends between December 31, 200 l and March 3 l , 2002, the Steering Committee is focusing on funding strategies. This memo provides brief highlights on these funding strategies. We will have more news to share at the Board Meeting. I. Federal Government We have retained the fmn of Alcalde & Fay that is working with us on federal funding of a five million dollar, two-year, nine-state pilot. The pilot is summarized in Attachment B. Congressmen Ehlers, Hoekstra, Upton and Kildee are all being most helpful in our efforts to have this fund ed as part of the President's expanded funding for character education. An invitation has been extended to First Lady Laura Bush to serve as Honorary Chair of a National Advisory Committee. Alcade & Fay has a focus on educational issues and serve as lobbyists for Grand Valley State University and the Houston Public Schools. II. Corporate Discussions are underway with Ogilvie Worldwide and two of their clients about possible funding for the leamingtogive.org website. The goal is to have an interactive website that can provide online professional development for teachers interested in being better prepared to deliver the Learning to Give lesson plans as part of their daily classroom work. III. Foundation Funding Bill Richardson, who is also Chair of the Council on Foundations, aided Kathy and Rob Collier in providing a briefing for Dot Ridings, President of the Council on Foundations, on her March 22 visit to Michigan. Kathy and Rob are working with Dot's staff to develop a communications strategy for helping to raise the awareness of Learning to Give within the philanthropic community. Requests are being submitted to present funders, such as the Lilly Endowment. Anonymous, and Kaufman for continued support. In addition, we are approaching regional funders for support in five of the targeted states identified in the federal initiative. As Dottie Johnson has pointed out, the stars seem to be a ligned with Washington, and we need to develop "passion partners" with foundations in five key states. We look forward to discussing these strategies wilh you at the Board meeting. �42 Council of Michigan Foundations ATTACHMENT A Learning to Give Progress Update Units and Lessons Themes: A proposal to support the establishment of a national level content advisory committee has been approved by The Fetzer Institute. The first committee will meet in early October 2001 . The committee will review the philanthropy strands, standards and benchmarks; agree to write about the project in their professional journals; and represent the project on occasion.

Summer Writers: Sixteen teachers each are scheduled to write lessons and units targeted to complete the unexplored benchmarks this summer. Fairness Review: Three meetings were held of the Fairness Review Committee {five days of meetings in total) . The Committee was expanded to include new members. They have reviewed all of the new lessons. Subsequent meetings are scheduled in July and August to review the new summer lessons, and to complete evaluation of the draft test questions. Field-testing: Continues. Field-test teachers' comments continue to be very positive. A new and sophisticated database tracking system is being completed. This will provide an easy platform for analysis of return rates, teacher participation, and other key management data regarding field-testing . Publication of Lessons: Lessons continue to be published and sold, as well as available for free on the web. Parent Involvement: National research on Parent Involvement, sponsored by the McGregor Fund, is completed. Small group discussions were held with separate parenUcaregiver groups and teacher groups at Van Zile Elementary School and Chadsey High School of the Detroit Public School District; and with elementary and secondary parents/caregivers and teachers in the Southfield Public Schools. Family involvement strategies have been added to the new lessons and will now be �43 included as a part of the teacher professional development this summer. Two publications are under development. The first is a technical report written for educators, the second is a "user friendly" report written for parents and other interested parties. Teacher Support Materials White House Conference Video-tape: Through the leadership of CMF, the South Carolina Public Broadcasting Station edited a video of the White House Conference on Philanthropy. The video and a high school lesson, and middle school lesson are being distributed to school principals in Michigan for placement in their building resource center. Briefing Papers Papers have been written by graduate students at Indiana University, and Grand Valley State University. These papers are currently being received from the fall semester. It is anticipated another 20-25 papers will be added to the Web site by June. In addition, the first major review of literature "Great Expectations" is completed. This review analyzes the philanthropic themes expressed in the book. Two English teachers have been recruited to continue this type of analysis, helping to build the teacher resources beyond the social studies. High School Textbook: A proposal for a high school level textbook, student workbook, teacher workbook, and CD-ROM has been funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation through a challenge grant. Proposals to meet the challenge have been sent. Once funding is secured, there is an eighteen month schedule for the writing . Preliminary conversations are also underway with potential publishers. Other Teacher Materials: Teacher resources continue to be developed including: The newest teacher support materials are vignettes, with pictures, of the founders of major foundations nationally and in Michigan. These vignettes bring a human face to the work of foundations. We will continue to build this resource. Pilot Schools Pilot schools are buildings that have committed to teaching lessons at each grade level within at least one building in their district. Dr. Dennis VanHaitsma has been representing LTG in recruiting the pilot schools. Currently twenty schools have either made the commitment or are in the final stages of seeking approval and will begin piloting the lessons in the fall. Assessment The standardized tests have been framed regarding length and type of questions. Draft questions at grades 5, 8, and 11 have been written for benchmarks in themes 1 and 2 (Definition of Philanthropy and Philanthropy and Civil Society). Themes 3 and 4 are currently being reviewed . The Fairness Review Committee will be evaluating the questions this summer. �44 Professional iOevelopment Masters Degree in Philant hropy Education Ferris State University is very interested in developing a Masters Degree in Education with a concentration in philanthropy. Many of the classes will be offered online, providing the opportunity for all of our field-test teachers across the country to participate. An initial potential pool of PhD level adjunct faculty members is currently being recruited. During the next few months the program will be designed for submission to Ferris for final consideration. Continuing Education and Graduate Credit Continuing Education and Graduate Credit will be offered for the summer institutes at Olivet College (graduate credit through Central Michigan University). Summer Residential Institutes and in-service professional development for Teachers scheduled Olivet College June 17-19 30 Teachers Olivet College June 28-30 Writing completion workshop Case Western June 24-27 30 northern Ohio teachers DISSEMINATION Web s ite A new and sophisticated search engine has been added to the site.

By teaching the "civic face" of good character, Learni11g to Give is educating the next generation of leaders about opportunities offered by the nonprofit sector, a sector representing 13% of the US economy. More than 900 teachers in 30 states are now using 500 plus lesson plans created and tested by teachers in Michigan and Missouri. The response from teachers has been overwhelmingly positive. "Students need to know that I heir acts have value in aiding their neighbors, their community. and their world," third grade teacher. National and regional private foundations have invested more than $3 million to date in Learning to Give, and there is strong interest in continuing to develop lesson plans on philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. However, the help of the federal government is needed in distributing and promoting the use of these lesson plans so that more of our children can benefit from the value that giving and serving add to character education. Signs suggesting a decline in civic engagement in our society can be seen in a demise of courtesy in commonplace transactions (road rage); in a declining commitment to family (too little time spent with children); in a lack of community spirit (neighborhoods where people keep to themselves); and in political disengagement across the land (empty voting booths and public cynicism about current affairs). Several major national studies confirm the reality of these impressions. The role of an educated citizenry knowledgeable and committed to individual rights and community responsibility is centerpiece of the belief system that holds the nation together. Designed by active classroom teachers, the Learning to Give lessons are teacher-tested and standards-based through a rigorous quality assurance process assuring fairness, age appropriateness, and adaptability. Service-learning is incorporated as a part of every unit. The lessons, with teacher and student resource materials, are offered for free on the Leamingtogive.org website. The lessons can also be freely used by youth educators, religious instructors, or others interested in citizen education in democracy. LearnitJg to Give seeks $5 million in federal support for a two year, nine state pilot. Leveraging continued private foundation funds, this is the next step in providing teachers in every K-12 classroom with easy to use lessons on giving and serving through state-based and locally designed implementation strategies. Working through universities in California, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Texas, and Wisconsin, Learning to Give will partner to provide the materials, teacher professional development, technical support, and additional fund-raising assistance needed to �47 assure the infusion of the lessons in grades K-12 of at least twenty school districts in each of these states. Interested. univ~rsities will be selected in these states because of both their strong graduate programs m philanthropy and nonprofit management and undergraduate programs in K-12 teacher preparation. The results from investing in these eight demonstration states will include: • 1.400 teachers using the lessons in 140 new pilot school districts (districts integrating the content in to their K- 12 curriculum) • 70,000 K-12 students participating in two or more units of study on giving and serving each year • 540 new publications to s upport classroom learning (briefing papers, posters, and other collateral materials) • 450 new Teacher-Consultants (classroom teachers prepared to provide peer education on Learning to Give through workshops and in-service seminars) • 500 new lesson plans related to giving and serving • 28 new underg raduate education courses for pre-service teachers focused on the role of citizen participation-giving and serving-in a democracy • 52 new internship opportunities for teachers and nonprofit graduate students to work directly in the nonprofit field While based in Muskegon Michigan, Leaming to Give has been endorsed by a number of national organizations including the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, the National Association of School Boards, the National AJliance of Business CoaJjtion for Education Reform, and the National Council for Social Studies. A national advisory committee of key representatives from the public, private, and non-profit sectors is being formed to complement the core technical committee that has representatives from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. An invitation has been extended to First Lady Laura Bush to be honorary chair of tbe National Committee. L earni11g to Give commits to continuing to provide lessons and other products to teachers, students, parents, and community leaders for free via the Internet as a model of the process and benefits of"voluntary citizen action intended for the common good"-philanthropy. This is only possible through the financial support of the federal government in this unique public -private partnership. "I hope to help my students develop a sense oftheir function in their communities. It is an essential task in a world needing to maintain community", a high school teacher.

Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions Membership dues are based on asset levels for foundations and grant making levels for Corporate giving programs. The variance from budget is due to a decrease from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which was generously offset by an increase in their Additional Contribution. Note 2: Conference Income The variance from the projected amount of$525,000 is due to the timing of$20,000 in contributions for family foundation programming, which are anticipated to be received in 200 1-02. Note 3: Investment Income The variance from budget is due to the interest income earned on funds received for special projects.

Doan Re: CMF 3-31-01 Investment Report Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the March 31,2001 In vestment Report. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment perfonnance for the operating and pennanent endowment funds. The reports contained in this section arc the return infonnation that will be reviewed by the lnvestment Committee on May I , 200 I . The enclosed Investment Report has been broken down into three sections. Investment Performance Report The bench-mark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below. S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 International Short Bond Bond Cash 40% 10% 6% 14% IS% 15% 0% Since the equity portion of the permanent funds is invested in index funds, the variances from the bench-marks are primarily due to investment management fees, and the variance in the asset allocation mix from the target established by the Investment Committee and approved by this Board. I IDLINOOE.R\UOARDMEl\CMA01.021Memo5-II.Oib doc �28 Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs the CMF VP of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a quarterly basis. To keep administrative time to a minimum CMF maintains one checking account to pay all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are due to endowment fund expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed by transferring cash from the endowment funds back to CMF. Investment Performance C omparison Report One of the bench-marks the Investment Committee has been tracking, is the Cambridge Associates, [nc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations. Since the release of this quarterly report typically lags the end of our quarter, by two to three months, the latest comparative numbers available are December 31, 2000. The variances from the Cambridge actual one-year rate of returns, are primarily due to the returns in the venture capital and private equity market, which are categories not allowed under our current investment po licy. You will note that over a three-year period the endowment funds that have been fully- invested during this period, track relatively close to the Cambridge pool. The Committee will continue to monitor the differences with the Cambridge pool carefully, and consider adj ustments to the asset allocations where appropriate.

Cummings, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Subject: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following activities for family foundations: The Family Philanthropist The spring issue of The Family Philanthropist focuses on creative and strategic communication efforts that can enable family foundation trustees to preserve integrity and intent while enhancing the power of giving. The issue was developed with the help of Lynn Afendoulis, The Greystone Group, who recently wrote a tribute book on G.A. Mason for the Mason family. The newsletter will be mailed in May. Trustee Leadership Seminar CMF is co-hosting a pilot program on Trustee Leadership with the Association of Small Foundations (ASF) on June 21, 2001 at The Village Club in Bloomfield Hills, MI. ASF received a two-year grant from the Mott Foundation to support the development of a Trustee Leadership Seminar Series. The program content is being designed and delivered by the National Center for Nonprofit Boards and the Support Center for Nonprofit Management. The two desired outcomes of the seminar are: • Trustees will increase their knowledge of basic trustee roles and responsibilities in the governance of their foundations; and, • Trustees will identify ways they can improve the operation of their foundation's board. Family Philanthropy Regional Luncheon The Trustees of the Martin Family Foundation and the Speckhard-Knight Foundation are hosting a Family Foundation Trustees' luncheon and discussion in Ann Arbor on Tuesday, June 12, 2001. Family Foundation Trustees will have an opportunity to meet, discuss family philanthropy. and share information on funding interests and program activities. Rob Collier will do a short talk on "The State of Philanthropy in Michigan" and Susan Howbert will speak about the many family foundation services and activities ofCMF. �40 Second Annual Family Foundation Retreat - September 28 -30 We are excited about the plans being made for CMF's Second Annual Family Foundation Retreat on September 28- 30, 2001 at Crystal Mountain Resort, located in Thompsonville, MI. We are delighted that Robert Selverstone, Ph.D, Westport, CT, will be faci litating the retreat. Bob has conducted over 800 workshops on values and communication, and, at last year' s annual conference, he led a dynamic workshop on effective communication that helped participants improve their ability to both communicate their vision, values and priorities, and also to hear and learn from others. The retreat concept was developed in response to our family foundation members' desire to be able to include in CMF activities, those family members who are not easily available during the work week, and to have a more intimate environment within which to discuss issues that are unique to family foundations. The sessions and activities being developed for the retreat will focus on learning how to communicate values most effectively, and developing strategies for telling the family story, planning for generational inclusion, and integrating family values and interests into a meaningful program of giving. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Collier Re: Board Creation of Two Endowment Funds Board review and action on the following two resolutions creating the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Fund and the Dorothy A. Johnson Education Fund is requested. RESOLVED that the Board of T rustees approve establishment of the Michigan Community F oundations' Yout h Project (MCFYP) Fund, a permanent endowment fund as approved by the W.K. Kellogg F oundation, by using the grant dolla rs remaini ng f rom the Round 12 challenge grant, with a purpose to support the ongoing technical assistance and training needs of community founda tion youth advisory committees in Michigan. And RESOLVED furtb er, that the Board of Trustees approves, retroactively as of November 1999, establishment of the Dorothy A. Johnson Education Fund, as a permanent endowment fund created fro m the gifts of many foundation and individua ls to honor the work of CMF's President Emeritus, Dorothy A. J ohnson, with the F und being used to support speakers for CMF's Annual Conference and special training activities promoting Principles and Best Practices for grantmakers. Background MCFYP Endowment F und There is a need to continue to provide technical assistance to the 86 community foundation youth advisory committees throughout Michigan. This assistance is provided through regional trainings, a summer statewide leadership event, one-on-one site visits, adult advisor training and an interactive website. While some oflhis assistance can be supported by the Mawby Fund for Kids endowment, additional funds are required. On November 30, 2000 CMF submitted a request to Kellogg to establish a Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Fund as a permanent endowment with the grant dollars remaining from the final Round 12 Youth Challenge. Community foundations have until December 31, 2003 to collect the pledges they submitted as of December 31, 1998, to be eligible for final round 12 Youth Challenge grant dollars. Based on those outstanding pledges, management projects that $1,055,505 will remain from the original �26 Kellogg Challenge funds that can now be used for this purpose. In a letter dated February 16, 2001, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation approved the request to establish the MCFYP Endowment Fund. Dorothy A. Johnson Education Fund While the creation of a fund to honor Dorothy Johnson was approved in Executive Session, this action bas never been made part of the official record of CMF. In reviewing the records for the establishment of this fund, management feels the permanent records should include a formal Board resolution approving the establishment of the fund as a permanent endowment, along with it's intended purpose. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The organization's mission is to strategically solve problems for the betterment of the people of southeast Michigan, with an initial emphasis on Detroit, through focused collaborations and joint grant applications among local government, grantrnakers and nonprofit organizations that share similar goals. The goals of the new 501 ( c )3 are to : • Identify and prioritize major problems and opportunities of principal concern to the participating sectors; • Create collaborations to address these problems and opportunities; and, • Identify funding opportunities and secure resources from federal, state, and local government and foundations to address these problems through collaborative appli cations. At present the organization is seeking funding for a $3.45 million, five-year demonstration period. A search committee, chaired by Gerald Smith, President of Detroit Youth Foundation and a CMF Trustee, has been established to begin the process of hiring a President/CEO of the organization. ln the meantime, Pat Babcock, Di rector of Public Policy of the Kellogg Foundation, will assist the Interim Board with funding procurement and search committee support as part of his current assignment with CMF. The Skillman Foundation is providing Pat with an office for his work with City Connect Detroit. 2001 Conversations Roundtable Workshops The second series of three roundtable "Conversations" workshops, held in Southeast Michigan on February 27 at Focus Hope, March 27 at Macomb Community College and �53 April 24 at the Max. M. Fisher Building, was very well received. Over 300 people and 28 foundations participated in the workshops that were developed to provide an opportunity for funders and nonprofits to come together and converse informally about issues of common concern. An addition to this year's workshops, was the special funding, provided by the Kellogg Foundation, to document and disseminate the information generated from the 2001 Conversations Workshops. Members of the Conversations Planning Committee include: Harriet Cooper (who recently retired), The Jewish Fund; Richard Dunlap, The Kresge Foundation; Carlotta Mills, The Kresge Foundation; Miguel Satut, W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Elizabeth Stieg, The Carls Foundation; and John Ziraldo, Thompson-McCully Foundation. CMFIMNA/COF Conversation on Organizational Effectiveness This sum.n:ter, CMF and MNA are cosponsoring, with COF, a meeting for lwenty participants in the Detroit area on organizational effectiveness. An equally-balanced group offunders and nonprofit representatives will be invited to participate in a half-day conversation facilitated by Marcia Sharp, Millennium Communications Group, Andover, Massachusetts. CMF's Presence in Southeast Michigan CMF's presence in Southeast Michlgan continues to expand. I represent CMF at a broad array of foundation and nonprofit events and meetings, in addition to responding to requests for information and resource support from grantmakers and grantseekers. Phone requests are averaging about 15 calls a day in the Detroit office. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Payton. Learnmg to Gn·e Project, 2001 51 At the dawn of the 21 century, American society is experiencing phenomenal c hange; change that presents important implications for CMF as it develops a new five-year strategic plan. This document provides a sununary of key trends or indicators significant to CMF's future. Developed by CMf staff. it, along with "Writing the Next Chapter," and data to be obtained through interviews, surveys, and focus groups, will constitute the primary data source for the st~ategio planning process. The major categories of trends or indicators distilled from a thorough environmental scan are: • • • • Society: The Information Age Wealth & Giving: Individua..l and Organized Philanthropy The Non-Profit & Public Sectors RAGS as Associations Society: T he lnform ~tio n Age The late 20th and early 21 st centuries are marked by the transition from an industrial to information-based economy, globalization, diversity, an expanding economic and technological divide between the least and most advantaged citizens, social aJjenation, concern about the decline of civil society in America, and the maturing of Boomers and Gen Xrs whose lifestyles and desires are markedly different from their elders. Rapid technological advances are a major factor in these trends, redefining work. life. communi ty, and c ulture. These c hanges have stimulated a search for meaning and connectedness. and the creation of c(>rnmunitiies free of geographic and political constraints, and focused around such things as place, interest, faith, and lifestyle.

This growth has been accompanied by increased media scrutiny, calls for higher foundation payout rates, and the general public's continued lack of knowledge about pl1ilanthropy and its impact. Individual Giving. More people are generating more wealth faster today than at any time in history. Many mqrc are beginning to benefit from what some researchers project will be the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth ever (estimated at several trillion dollars over the next 20 to30 years). At the same time, philanthropy is becoming democratized- invo lving pebple of all ages. cultures, and socio-economic strata- and recast in response to donors' desire for personal involvement in giving. Much of this levelmg has been fueled by the dramatic growth of new wealth; recognition of giving to individuals and social clubs by people o f color as philanthropy; increased numbers of community and family foundations; emergence of the Internet as a giving tool; increased employee and customer involvement in corporate giving through volunteerism, employee staff giving committees, and matching gift programs; charitable fund options offered by financial services flrms; and new forms of philanthropy like giving circles that empower citizens at all income levels. Orga11ized Pltilallthropy. Many donors, social commentators, and professional advisors are expressing a desite to better define and enhance the impact of philanthropic act ivity. They are challenging tradit~onal philanthropic organizations to do more and encouraging the use of new, potentially higher-yield approaches to social investing such as social venture funds and giying circles. "Venture philanthropists" are creating new models of giving characterized by highly focused funding, support for strengthening grantee business practices, and expectations of significant and measurable results in relatively quick time frames. To increase the impact of their resources, new and existing foundations and corporations are forming unique cross-sector collaborations and partnerships often with shared leadership resulling in changing roles across sectors. Factoid: According to the IRS, there are 2,290 foundations in Michigan of\vhich 831 were formed within the past Jive years - 125 in the firs/len months of2000 alone. 2 �30 Key factors are: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Demographics of Giving More people generating more wealth than at any time in U.S. history Largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history Increase in number of U.S. millionaires and billionaires U.S. wealth concentrated in fewer households Giving as a percentage of personal income unchanged for 30 years I 0% of households making p4% of all contributions More than 75% of $175 bilhon donated in 1999 coming from living donors Wealthy giving away tiny percentage of assets during lifetime 80% of wealthy giving onJy in response to routine gifi requests Reduction in corporate grant dollars due to mergers and acquisitions Approaches to Giving Growth in number of community foundations Explosive growth in numbet of family foundations Increased giving by people 9fcolor to traditional causes a nd NPOs Growing interest in new forms of giving (e-philanthropy, giving circles, etc.) Increased donor inter~t in personal involvement in giving Increased emphasis on training next generation of family philanthropists Growing tendency of donors to take proactive stance Gruwing investment in building NPO capacity Move to niche funding to increase impact and create distinct public image More foundation interest in partnerships and cross-sector collaborations Increased globalization of g~ving by family and corporate foundations rntemet transforming donor research, networking, and giving Support for Giving Increased demand for donor-advised funds Entry of financial services firms into donor service market Expansion in number and type of giving vehicles available to donors through nonprofit and for-profit firms and community foundations Growing family foundation demand for education and personalized technical assistance Expansion of Internet-based networking, resources, and on-line giving options The Non-Profit & Public Sectors Over the last 20 years, the non-profit sector has expanded faster than any other economic sector in the U.S., seeing a 100% intrease in the number ofNPOs. Most N POs are small, organizationally fragile, and often undercapitalized. Public policy reforms have led to devolution and privatization compounding NPO fragility and shifting responsibility from the public to the non-profit sector in many areas. These reforms have increased NPOs' reliance on private sector funding l¢~ding to the proliferation of"special projects" 3 �31 designed to attract funding and genl::ral operating dollars and to an increase in public/private partnerships. More recently, the public sector has begun increasing its role as a monitor of the non-profit sector. The changing relationship between the non-profit and public sectors has been complicated in Michigan by the introduction oftenn limits. At the federal level, redistricting may reduce Michigan's influence on publ ic policy. Key factors are: • • • • • • • • • • • Doubling ofNPOs over past 20 years causing confusion/duplication of effort Fragile NPO sector: many small, undercapitalized, poorly managed lncreasing tendency by NPOS to adopt private sector practices Decreasing distinctiveness between public and private sectors Devolution and privatization increasing N PO reliance on private sector funding Increased scrutiny of sector Jeading to creation of standards and accountability General lack of awareness/understanding of philanthropy among general public Growing perception of foundations as stewards of"public funds" Evolving relationship with elected state officials complicated by term limits Expanding government role1 i.e., watch-dog, policy enforcer, partner Possible decrease in Michigan influence at federal level due to redistricting RAGs as Associat ions Across the globe, RAGs and other ty-pes of associations are feeling the impact of increased competition, technology, globalization, more and more diverse members, competing member expectations based on generation-specific needs, higher member expectations for maximun1 benefit and person al service. To stay relevant and effective in a rapidly changing environment. leading associations are adopting more sophisticated business practices, expanding and refining their use of technology, expanding member categories, assuming new leadership roles, entering into non-traditional partnerships and collaborations, and seeking wnys to generate greater revenues from traditional and nontraditional sources.

Vicki Rosenberg presented an overview of key trends affecting CMF (see " Key Trend<; Affecting CMF", and "CA1F Competitors") after which Bob Tobin of Williams Marketing facilitated a discussion. The fin al discussion regarding strategic planning focus on data-gathering tools1 processes, and timelines. Key Trends & Competitors Following Vicki Rosenberg's presentation, the Executi ve Committee and CMF staff identified those issues or trends ther believe need greater attention. Those areas are: • Addressing member expectations • Offering programs live and on-line • Better serving corporate [under$, independent, and famil y foundations. (The Executive Committee believes that CM F is providing high levels of service to community foundations). • Faith-based organizations as competitors or collaborators. Evaluating CMF In a discussion facilitated by Bob Tobin, the Executive Committee and CMF staff discussed how well CMF's services meet member expectations and how much its organizational design reflects characteristics of successful associations. Key points fo llow: • Personal service, tailored tO generational preferences The group generally agreed that members who use CMF's services lind them to be o f excellent quality. Ho'f{ever, many members either aren' t aware of CMF's services or choose not to use them. One person noted that some members support CMF largely for the advocacy work it does with policy makers. Another noted the importance of determi~;~ing which services wi ll retain or attract younger members. A discussion followed aboulf (a) the importance of doing market research to determine why members do and do not use CMF services. with particular emphasis on independent foundations and younger members; (b) the need for CMF to better market Its sel,'vices; and (c) whether CMF could meet increased demand for services should new marketing efforts be successful. The group seemed to concur that CMF does not currently have the capacity to meet significantly increased demand on its own, but that it may be able to do so through strategic alliances and partnerships. The group also identified the need for CMF to begin charging for its services as an important issue. It agreed to table this discussion until a later time. 33 �34 • Brokering ofPartnerships and Collaborations: Public and Non-Profit Sectors The group agreed that CMF successfully brokers a good number of partners hips and collaborations. Hqwever, it questioned the degree to which these partnerships and col1aborations align with CMF's mission. The "Tobacco Settlement"' project was raised as an example of,a project that may not be sufficiently aligned. This concern, one member noted, is historical and dates back to the first State of Michigan/CMF partnership involving the energy surplus. The group found it difficult to assess CMF's brokering role. Questions were raised about member ~xpectation s. and how CMF presents brokering or partnership opportunities to the public sector. A related comment was made regarding the value of providing a session on designing effective partnerships at the 200 I CMF annual conference. • Proactive servant leadership across sectors The group felt CMF was doi,ng very well in Lhis area. • Easy access. on demand communications The group identified this as another marketing issue. • §.horter, more focused meetings and events The group agreed that all members value the networking opportunities oiTered at CMF's annual conference. One member noted that im.lt:pemlent foundations need networking opportunities to better understand what others are doing. • Effective advocacy with state government CMF does well with state departments and the Governor, but does poorly with state representatives b~causeofterm l imits. It needs to quickly build relationships with legislators so that it's influence in Lansing remains strong after the Engler administration concludes. 1L was further suggested that CMF help foundations develop strong relatiorlships with local governments. • Leadership for best prbctices and standards CMF has eiTectively helped community foundations with best practices and standards. The group agreed that CMF should help other types of foundations to a much greater degree, emphasizing best practices rather than standards (which some members oppose). • Shared leadership by high performance, accountable boards The group rated CMF very hjgh in Lhis category. • Intellectual assets valued more than physical assers .The group agreed that this statement reflects CMF's values. �35 • • More entrepreneurial business practices The group agreed that CM:B does well here, although there was some room for improvement. It cautioned CMF to focus on its core values and strengths in all situations. The group suggested removing the term "business"' from this factor. Enabled by e-commerce. odvanced technology The group agreed that CMF is becoming increasingly sophisticated in its usc of technology. • Agile. global mindset with shared decision-making The group suggested that CMf strengthen shared decision-making. • Customer focused, building product into eve1y service, service into eve1y product. No comments. Gathering Information: Stakeholder Groups and Planned Techniques Bob Tobin rev iewed draft plans fot gathering data through focus groups, personal interviews, and a member survey to obtain input from the full spectrum of CMF members. The Executive Committee agreed to the following: • Conduc ting a special survey of CMF Trustees with a check-off for those Trustees interest in sharing additional thoughts through a one-on-one interview; • Using already planned meetings and events as opportunities to conduct focus gropus of mixed groups of members. • fntervicwing fi ve indi idual$ representing the different member categories (corporate. private, family, community and othe r). • Having consultants conduct all interv iews and focus groups. Moving Forward February board meeting The group agreed that the February J5, 200 I Board meeting presented a good opportunity to: • • Review the " Key Trends'· document ldentjfy and provide perspective on the live priority areas identified January 24: C ustomer focused, building product into every service. service into every product Brokering of partnerships and collaborations bet\veen public and nonprofit sectors Effective advocacy with state government Leadership for best practices and standards How we serve the next generation �36 • • Solicit board input (discllSsion on these items) Review our input gathering prqcess and tools Input gathering With the Executive Committee's approval, CMF will proceed with a qualitative member survey and focus groups as quickl>; as possible so as to have some results ready for the March 21,2001 Executive Committee meeting. Interviews and focus groups will be completed by late April. The Executive Committee recognized that this schedule may delay the May completion date for ilhe first draft of CMF 's strategic plan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
