FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Matt Lauer, (703) 535-3872 Mobile: (703) 629-4048 FORMER SEN. HARRIS WOFFORD TO SERVE AS AMERICA'S PROMISE CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON- January 22 - He helped launch the Peace Corps in 1961 , was active in the civil rights movement and now is working to ensure a brighter future for our nation's young people as the new leader of America's Promise- The Alliance For Youth. Harris Wofford has been elected chairman by the national nonprofit's board of directors. Wofford replaces former Montana Governor Marc Racicot, who was elected to head the Republican National Committee. General Colin L. Powell is the founding chairman of the organization. "It is an honor to follow in the footsteps of Gen. Powell and Gov. Racicot as a chairman of America's Promise. Through their dedication and hard work, America's Promise and its Alliance partners are poised to lead the way in fulfilling the Five Promises set forth at the Presidents' Summit in 1997," Wofford said. America's Promise was founded after the Presidents' Summit for America's Future in 1997 where Presidents Clinton, G.H.W. Bush, Carter and Ford, with Nancy Reagan representing President Reagan, challenged the country to make children and youth a national priority. The mission of America's Promise is to mobilize people from every sector of American life to build the character and competence of youth by fulfilling the Five Promises: caring adults, safe places, healthy start, marketable skills and opportunities to serve. As a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania and most recently CEO of the Corporation for National Service, Wofford has dedicated much of his life to the goal of making citizen service a common expectation and experience for all Americans. He played a key role in both crafting and working to pass the trailblazing legislation that created AmeriCorps, the Learn and Serve America program and the Corporation for National and Community Service. He was an instrumental figure in organizing The Presidents' Summit. "Harris is going to be a strong chairman. His personal passion for this nation and our children goes unrivaled," Peter A. Gallagher, president and CEO of America's Promise, said. "I am confident he is the right person to take America's Promise to the next stage." After helping launch the Peace Corps, Wofford held the post of special assistant to President John F. Kennedy, as well as chairman of the White House Sub-Cabinet Group on Civil Rights from 1961 to 1962. He also served as counsel for the U.S. Committee on Civil Rights and trustee to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change. In 2001 , Wofford convened and chaired the Working Group on Human Needs and Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which released its report, Finding Common Ground, last week. Additionally, Wofford is a member of the National Commission on Service-Learning chaired by Senator John Glenn and serves on the boards of Youth Service America and the Points of Light Foundation. In 1970s, Wofford was president of Bryn Mawr College. "In 1997, I was privileged to be involved in convening the Presidents' Surnn1it, where Gen. Powell brought CEOs; religious, political and youth leaders; and nonprofit and educational organizations together to create America's Promise," Wofford said. "It is an honor to lead this effort. Together, with our Alliance partners, we will work to deliver, community by community, the Five Promises to our nation's youth, helping secure the next generation of strong, healthy and productive adults."

INTRODUCTION Thank you, Bishop Mengeling, for your invocation. Lieutenant Governor Posthumus, Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader DeGrow, members of the House and Senate, Chief Justice Corrigan, justices and judges, colleagues in government, fellow citizens: In accordance with the Constitution, I come before you once again to report on the state of our state. Tonight I would like to talk with you about Michigan's challenges and opportunities. The two are always related. Churchill put it well: "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Ladies and gentlemen, I am an optimist. Michigan has always met its challenges- our state has always been a leaderwhen confronting crises at home or abroad. Our soldiers fought to preserve the Union in the Civil War. Our citizens manned the stations of the Underground Railroad on behalf of freedom. A great generation of automobile pioneers put America on wheels. And Michigan workers in World War II made our state the Arsenal of Democracy. We remember and honor their achievements. They inspire us in the face of our own challenges. Challenges that our generation did not choose, but that we accept and will overcome. For many of our citizens, the challenges we face make for uneasy times. There is understandable concern over: • job and economic security; • homeland defense; • energy supply; • health care; �• • technological change; and the quality of our schools. How prepared is Michigan to confront these challenges? What is the state of our state? Ladies and gentlemen: Our state is strong- it is rock solid. After a decade of reform and renewal, Michigan is prepared to confront the challenges of the 21st century. More than that: Michigan is poised for transformation. This evening I'd like to talk with you about how we can lead, and achieve, that transformation. II. NATIONAL-STATE CHALLENGES Homeland Defense I think we'd all agree, the tragedy of September 11th has been a transforming event. Our nation is experiencing a remarkable and welcome renewal of the American spirit. On behalf of the people of Michigan, I'd like to thank our Commander in Chief, President George W. Bush, and all our men and women in uniform, serving in Afghanistan and around the world. Thank you for a job well done. In Michigan some special citizen-soldiers are keeping us safe at our border, in our airports, and on duty overseas. With us this evening are Staff Sergeant Tyr.one Redding, posted at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, and Specialist Robert Streeter, posted at Capitol City Airport. They make us proud- they are the Michigan National Guard. Earlier today, I requested that the Michigan Civil Service Commission take action to continue medical benefits for state employees who have been called to active duty. I've also asked that any pay differential be covered, retroactive to September 11th. Keeping us safe has special meaning for three legislators. Senator Gary Peters has already been called up by the U.S. Naval Reserve - we wish him Godspeed. In addition, Senator Valde Garcia and Representative Andrew Raczkowski stand ready to serve. �May our prayers be with them and with all who are prepared to stand in harm's way for us and for our freedom. Meanwhile, keeping our citizens out of harm's way is the goal of homeland defense in Lansing and in Washington. Back in 1996, Michigan established an anti-terrorism task force so we would be prepared for terrorist threats. For their years of diligent work, I applaud the task force and their leader, Col. Michael Robinson, head of the Michigan State Police. By executive directive, I will redesignate the task force as the Michigan Homeland Security Task Force, so that Washington knows that Michigan is well coordinated and prepared. Col. Robinson will continue to head this Task Force and serve as Michigan's lead official dealing with terrorism. The Michigan Legislature has also responded to the threat of terrorism. I congratulate you on your bipartisan efforts to date. Now, let's act promptly to complete the remaining measures in the antiterrorism package. Our colleagues in local government are also doing their part in the war against terrorism. To all of them, we say, "Thank you!" And if your county, township, or city has not already done so, we need you to act immediately and join our state's mutual aid compact. Let's assure our citizens that all our resources are marshaled to meet any future threat. Michigan, with its international border crossings, faces special challenges. Clearly, international borders are a national responsibility. These borders require the coordination of state and national resources, as well as international cooperation. This evening I applaud the efforts of our congressional delegation to make Michigan's border crossings a priority in Washington. At the same time, I hardly need to remind the delegation that we still seek permanent solutions to our border problems. Each year more than 28 million vehicles travel between Michigan and Canada, more than double the volume just four years ago. More cars, more trucks, more people, and more goods have meant more jobs- but not more security at our border. Michigan border crossings need immigration officials and customs officials, and we need them now. Technology, Taxes, and Fuel Cells Just 48 hours ago, the world's premier auto show ended in Detroit. �The creativity and technology on display highlighted Michigan's global leadership and demonstrated why our state has been an economic powerhouse for a century. Manufacturing has been the lifeblood of Michigan's economy and the engine of our prosperity. Our auto industry and its incredible network of suppliers have supported hundreds of thousands of Michigan families. Our designers, engineers, and skilled workers are second to none. In the aftermath of September 11th, in the middle of a national recession, it was our signature industry that stood tall. While Washington debated, the car companies delivered. Zero percent financing was, without a doubt, the most important stimulus package American families received. In an autumn of tragedy and grief, Michigan's companies helped "Keep America Rolling." Now, in a winter of recession, our challenge is to do all we can to keep Michigan rolling. First, we must understand what's going on in our most important industry. One day we are celebrating the opening of the Lansing Grand River plantthe most sophisticated auto assembly plant in the world. The next, we are reading about restructuring, downsizing, undervalued stock prices, and layoffs. Many of our Michigan companies are facing challenges that make our budget problems look easy. It will be work, but if we all go the extra mile, we may be able to help these companies and keep our tax cuts rolling. At the same time, we need to consider the plight of many workers whose job security depends on these companies. Let's help all workers by protecting income tax cuts and by raising unemployment benefits. In addition to the problems I've mentioned, other forces are bearing down on Michigan's major industry. Two debates directly challenge our state's future. The first debate concerns energy. Americans already consume 10 million barrels of foreign oil each day. And the trend line is not good. A growing dependency on foreign oil threatens our national security and our way of life. The second debate concerns the environment and global climate. Michigan is grateful that the President and Congress have maintained the current CAFE standards through 2004. �We thank Michigan's congressional delegation for their leadership on this vital issue. We are also fortunate that Congress did not ratify the hopelessly flawed Kyoto Protocol. One very obvious flaw was the exemption given to the world's two most populous nations, China and India. Kyoto offered too little benefit to the world's environment and threatened way too much damage to the U.S. economy. The record is clear: The U.S. and Michigan have achieved impressive gains in air quality. Nevertheless, the climate debate continues, posing many difficult questions to scientists, policy makers, industry, and especially the public. These two debates - about energy and climate - are inseparably linked. You will not resolve one without the other. Some may be asking, "How will these debates impact Michigan?" But I ask: "How can Michigan impact these debates?" We are at the beginning of an historic transformation. While I see great challenges, I sense even greater opportunities. Science and industry are successfully developing breakthrough technologies involving renewable sources of energy. It is no longer a question of whether, but when, we will leave behind an economy powered primarily by fossil fuels. In fact, the transformation has already begun. Breakthrough technologies today are hastening development of hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, clean diesel-powered cars and trucks, and an exciting array of hybrid vehicles. One innovative technology is attracting considerable attention and investment. We ignore it at our peril. I am talking about fuel cells. Fuel cell technology will revolutionize power generation. This technology will lead to impressive gains in energy efficiency and dramatic reductions in emissions. As fuel cells go from the space shuttle to powering your family car, they will transform our very way of life. Ladies and gentlemen: The race is on. The stakes are high. It is Michigan's great fortune to have many companies that are in the vanguard of this transformation to fuel cells. Listen to what their leaders are saying. �Ford Chairman and CEO Bill Ford: "I believe fuel cell vehicles will ... end the hundred-year reign of the internal combustion engine as the dominant source of power for personal transportation." General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner: "The 2oth century was the century of the internal combustion engine. The 21st century will be the century of the fuel cell." Imagine that. American auto company heads envisioning a future- no doubt astounding to their critics- a future that sees their industry solving intractable energy and global climate debates. A glimpse of the future was on display at the North American International Auto Show. The public saw fuel cell vehicles that can operate today as well as futuristic concept cars. GM caused quite a stir by unveiling its AUTOnomy concept vehicle. GM asked its designers and engineers to design a car from scratch. It's pretty amazing to see what they created. A vehicle ... but with no engine, no transmission, no radiator, no pedals. A vehicle ... but with electronic controls replacing mechanical accelerating, steering, and braking systems. A vehicle ... in which the driver can choose to sit on the left, or the right, or even in the center, thanks to "X-Drive." Described as a revolution in how automobiles are designed, built, and used, the AUTOnomy features a fuel cell system powered by hydrogen. With hydrogen as the energy source, a vehicle is more than twice as efficient as one using fossil fuels and produces almost no pollution. Rather than harmful emissions, the byproduct is H20 - water. While the designs are revolutionary, even more revolutionary might be the uses. A vehicle powered by a fuel cell could become a power plant. Imagine the car in your driveway providing the power for your house! Or farm! Or business! With fuel cell technology driving our future, one thing is certain: Our lives are going to change. We need to prepare. Make no mistake: Michigan cannot sit back and assume that being home to the auto industry is our birthright. �From the granting of the first patent on the gasoline-powered automobile ... to the pouring of the first mile of concrete highway in the world on Detroit's Woodward Avenue ... to Henry Ford's revolutionary assembly line ... Michigan led the way to a century of progress. Now, our generation faces a new century with new challenges. But what an opportunity for our generation. The sheer magnitude of the coming change makes me wonder what it must have been like a hundred years ago, when people were challenged by the newfangled horseless carriage. I am sure a lot of people wanted to keep the horse and buggy around. The buggy makers were frightened and wanted tough new regulations. The suppliers- the blacksmiths, barn builders, and bridle makers, along with the oats-and-hay lobby- were under pressure to cut prices. The horse breeders were trying to breed bigger, faster, stronger horses -and cleaner ones, too. They went to their friends in Congress and Lansing and lobbied them, "Do something!" They met with their lawyers and ordered them, "Do something!" They contacted friendly journalists and trade associations and pled, "Do something!" So what was done? The horseless carriage was banned- on Mackinac Island. Everywhere else, the horseless carriage transformed a nation and launched a century of progress. As for the horse-and-buggy crowd, all who failed to adapt to the new economy passed into history, replaced by risk takers who seized the opportunity. Seriously, if we fail to seize our opportunity, if we fail to adapt, we risk becoming as irrelevant as the horse and buggy. There must be a Michigan strategy to prepare for the transformation. First, we work from our strength. Michigan companies have a strong position today. Let's make sure that they are free to push the limits of technology, and that they can afford to do so. Incentives can help, but even more helpful would be removing some of the burdens and barriers that have been imposed by Washington and a few states. For too long the auto industry has had too many regulations, too much interference, and too little cooperation. Government cannot and should not mandate the solution. Government can and should guarantee an environment that fosters innovation, furthers investment, and fits consumer needs. �Thankfully, change is in the air. Just two weeks ago, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham joined industry leaders in Detroit to announce a partnership called Freedom CAR (Cooperative Automotive Research). It was heartening to see members of Michigan's congressional delegation at the announcement. Congress needs to support this partnership, and Michigan's delegation must provide the leadership to make sure that it does. Developing the full potential of fuel-cell technology requires money and creativity. And to the extent that fuel cells are powered by hydrogen, there will be an additional federal role of helping assure the necessary infrastructure. I urge Michigan's delegation to work with President Bush and Secretary Abraham, so we can further strengthen the federal research role and speed the development of hydrogen-fed fuel cells. America needs to know that Michigan companies are leading the quest to develop the technologies that will provide more energy independence, a cleaner environment, and greater economic security. For Michigan workers and millions of Americans, that's tantamount to job security. I said earlier the stakes are high -this issue transcends politics. We are counting on each member of our congressional delegation to be working aggressively to assure the future of their state's most important industry. Now, their job won't be that easy. Washington is a town with two very different mindsets. You have regulators and you have problem solvers. President Bush is a problem solver. His approach stands in sharp contrast to that of the regulators, who represent the "old thinking" from the end of the last century. Federal regulators, including many in the EPA and some in other agencies, are trapped in the past. They cling to the old thinking. They certainly do not trust the ingenuity and skill of Detroit scientists and engineers. The regulators have a command-and-control mentality and an abiding faith in regulation. Their approach is the antithesis of the New Economy. Consider the fossil bed of regulations known as CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy). Designed to help America achieve energy independence, CAFE's effect has in fact been the opposite. America is ever more dependent on foreign oil. �American companies have paid billions of dollars to comply with CAFE and been rewarded with lost market share. Worst of all, American workers have paid for CAFE with their jobs ... and American families are still paying every time they buy a new car. Now CAFE threatens the ability of our companies to finance innovative technologies - technologies needed for their survival. At a time when so many promising technologies are within reach, it is clearly in the national interest and in Michigan's interest to pursue them with dispatch. It is clearly wrong and irrational- and a textbook case of old thinking- to argue that there is a significant benefit in seeking to mandate incremental gains using old technologies, irrespective of cost. The short sightedness of this thinking is easily understood when we realize that when billions of dollars are being spent to comply with the old regulations, they are being diverted from R & D in the new technologies and the benefits they offer. If we could convert regulators into problem solvers, we might see some common-sense solutions. For example, the U.S. should adopt the European clean diesel technology. If we did so, our nation could virtually overnight achieve a 25 to 30 percent increase in fuel efficiency. Soon, safe clean-burning diesel engines will power 50 percent of the cars in Europe. Finally, if American companies have their global leadership compromised, we run the risk of the U.S. car industry's demise. Not to mention the loss of high-paying jobs that have helped thousands of families achieve the American Dream. Command and control regulations like the Kyoto Protocol and CAFE are relics of the old thinking. They are costly burdens that threaten our way of life. They and the thinking they represent should be consigned to the ash heap of history. Michigan's stake in the transformation of the auto industry cannot be overstated. Think about it: The coming transformation means a new generation of vehicles. The new vehicles will require a new generation of engineers to design them, a new generation of plants to assemble them, and a new generation of workers to build them. We must take steps now to make sure they are Michigan engineers, Michigan plants, and Michigan workers! �In the next 60 days I will send you a message detailing steps we should take to ensure Michigan's preeminence in the global auto industry. My agenda will address a number of key issues - taxes, regulations, new infrastructure, intellectual property, research and development. Let's be bold. Let's seize the opportunity. And above all, let's make sure future generations are driving vehicles that say, "Made in Michigan." Science Leadership - the Rare Isotope Accelerator I love hearing, "Made in Michigan." There was a time, not that long ago, when even an optimist would have been discouraged by Michigan's image. Our competitors derided us as "the Rust Belt." Not any more! Michigan is back- winner of four consecutive Governor's Cups for new business startups and expansions. We have earned a new image. Thanks to our skilled workforce, exceptional universities, and smart decisions- Michigan is becoming the Technology State. More than $2 billion of new buildings on our campuses, Automation Alley, Smart Parks, the Life Sciences Corridor- all reflect the exciting transformation under way. They also reflect our commitment to fostering the right environment to attract the best science and technology have to offer. New work opportunities have blossomed across our state, all due to our willingness to embrace technological change. As a result, we are going to be hearing a lot more about new products made in Michigan. The world took note when Michigan invested $1 billion in our Life Sciences Corridor. That smart decision in the last decade is already paying dividends. And two decisions- one by a family, one by a company- meant the founding of the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids and the constructing of the Pfizer Research complex in Ann Arbor. These two key decisions affirmed our growing stature as a state of R & D and science. Also affirmed was the value of partnerships. The Pfizer story is an impressive one. The University of Michigan, City of Ann Arbor, and Michigan Economic Development Corp all worked as a team. �By doing that, they secured a spectacular investment that means a nearly $1 billion world-class research center located adjacent to the University of Michigan. This will be the largest research facility in the world for PfiZer and home to hundreds of incredible researchers and scientists, all searching for medical breakthroughs. Ladies and gentlemen, the Pfizer investment last year was the single largest corporate investment decision made in the entire United States. Michigan met the challenge. Michigan emerged the winner. Now, we have another opportunity to build a winning partnership, and take the next step to secure Michigan's future as a high technology state- a state of science. This time the opportunity is near by, less than five miles from this Capitol. Michigan State University is the home of the world's premier Superconducting Cyclotron Lab. Here, one of the world's finest faculties is exploring the frontiers of nuclear physics. For years the highest priority of nuclear scientists has been a new facility dedicated to the study of short-lived rare isotopes. The goal is to achieve breakthroughs in nuclear physics, biomedicine, materials research, even national security. So what does all this have to do with Michigan? The U.S. Department of Energy and National Science Foundation are preparing to invest $1 billion- $1 billion to develop the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA). The RIA will be the world's leading facility for research in nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics. The annual operating budget would be nearly $100 million, and the RIA would be operated by a team of some 400 technicians and scientists. The right location for the RIA is on the campus of MSU. MSU faculty have been in the vanguard of the RIA concept. MSU accelerator physicists are making elemental contributions to the RIA design. The RIA laboratory, located on Michigan State's campus, would profoundly change the university and cement its reputation as the world leader in high-energy physics. In fact, this could be the most important decision in the history of the university. �As Einstein observed, "Politics is for the moment, but an equation is for eternity." Such a facility, located in the center of our Life Sciences Corridor, would lead to a research explosion in our Great Lakes State. Michigan's case is strong. MSU's faculty is prepared. And the only Republican physicist serving in Congress - Congressman Vern Ehlers from Michigan - is on our side. Let's show America that Michigan is serious about being home to the RIA. Let's make the down payment in next year's budget. Let's seize this opportunity to become the world headquarters for nuclear physics. III. STATE-SPECIFIC CHALLENGES Independent Families Among the things we can be proud of over the past decade: Thousands of families have moved from dependence to independence. Consider this -- during the last recession a decade ago, Michigan's welfare caseload surged to more than 233,000 families. Adding General Assistance recipients to the count meant there were more than 300,000 cash assistance cases. By contrast, as we cope with the current national recession, fewer than 74,000 families are receiving cash assistance. In the area of children's services, 24,850 children who were state wards achieved a permanent adoptive home from 1990 through 2001. During this time, we better than doubled the number of annual adoptions. In the area of child support, we have seen collections increase from $645 million in 1990 to $1.38 billion in 2001. Last year marked the completion of a single, statewide computer system. The leadership of Chief Justice Maura Corrigan was invaluable in making the new system a reality and in averting expensive federal penalties. For the future, our goal is this: All parents accepting responsibility for their children. Reforms that help us achieve that goal continue to be a high priority. The bottom line: Our welfare reforms have worked. The result- in less than a decade- has been a stunning transformation: • Adoptions are up. • Teen pregnancy is down. �• • Child support is up. Families needing cash assistance are down. You really see the benefits of reform when you look at individual families. Every month we honor a family - the "Achiever" of the month. Each Achiever has a success story to tell; each has beaten the odds; and each is on the road to independence. As different as each of these Achievers is, one common thread connects them: their passionate wish that their children have a better life. Health Care and Health Benefits In Michigan, we are pushing the frontiers of science to fight disease and improve our quality of life. One way we've improved the quality of life in Michigan has been by providing children and families access to medical care. The numbers tell a great success story: 800,000 more Michigan citizens have health insurance today compared to a decade ago. That's very good news. Even better news: more than half of them are children. Unfortunately, escalating health care costs are not such good news. For the longest time, state efforts to increase access and restrain costs have been thwarted by federal regulations of bewildering complexity and excessive cost. Governors George Bush and Tommy Thompson went to Washington fully aware of the challenges presented by these regulations. Already, after one year, their productive partnership has provided long overdue flexibility to states. Because of the changes made in Washington, now we are free to do even more to improve health care in Michigan. Tonight I am pleased to announce that we will submit a fast-track waiver to Health and Human Services Secretary Thompson. Our plan is called the MI-Family health plan. The goal: coverage for an additional 200,000 Michigan citizens. Given the recession, given our budget, you may be wondering, ''How can this be?" ''How can we expand benefits to thousands of our people?" The answer is simple -I've said it many times: When Washington gives states the flexibility to design programs that meet our needs, we stretch the dollars and help more people. Approval of the MI-Family health plan will further several goals, including one that I've long sought: greater protection to people with disabilities. These citizens will be able to take a job without fearing that success in the workplace will mean loss of their health insurance. �The Department of Community Health has done yeoman's work in developing our proposal. Soon the Department will hold a public hearing on the plan, as well as begin taking necessary steps to reach agreements with our local partners. My hope is that we wrap up our work quickly so we can submit our plan to Washington. If all goes well, we hope to receive approval by May 1. If our plan is on the fast track in Washington, and if it is approved in a timely manner, the benefits of the MI-Family plan could be available as early as October 1, 2002. The bottom line: 200,000 more people will have help with health care. III. STATE CHALLENGES The Power of Blue When most Michigan citizens need health care, they reach for their Blue Cross card. In 1939, the Legislature passed the Blue Cross Act, which created Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan as a "charitable and benevolent institution." They even made Blue Cross tax-free. The Act did not make the company supervision-free. The Legislature's intent was clear: the commissioner of insurance was "to provide for the regulation and supervision" of Blue Cross. Another intent was also clear. In creating the company, the Legislature sought "to secure for all of the people ... access to health care services at a fair and reasonable price." On September 14t\ Commissioner Frank Fitzgerald made public the results of the 2001 financial examination of Blue Cross. The examination revealed that the Blues have serious problems. Among them: $400 million in losses in the small group market, archaic technology, and a cumbersome board and management structure. It won't be easy for Blue Cross to fix their problems. However, since over half of Michigan citizens depend on Blue Cross for health care coverage and services, the problems of the Blues cannot be ignored. When I looked at this issue, I was surprised to learn that the insurance commissioner actually has less authority to fix financial problems at Blue Cross than at any other insurance company licensed to do business in Michigan. At a time when so many people feel that the cost of health care is neither fair nor reasonable, we cannot have the commissioner on the sidelines. I propose the following: �• amend the Blue Cross Act to strengthen the insurance commissioner's financial oversight of the company; • amend the Act to grant the Commissioner the authority to restructure the board of directors; and • a new act to create a Community Health Trust Fund to protect our citizens and capture the public benefit should Blue Cross ever follow the path of more than 20 other state plans by becoming a private company. It is of paramount importance that the Blues be strong, well run, and focused on providing access to health care at a fair and reasonable price. When the health security of so many citizens is dependent on the financial security of a single company, the warning signs must be heeded. With a company like Blue Cross, the Legislature has a special responsibility. The Legislature created the company and designed their board. Unfortunately, that design has resulted in a board dominated and driven by special interests, not the public interest. A smaller, reconstituted board could assure that the "power of blue" is refocused on its historic mission. It is not yet too late, but the warning lights are flashing. The time to act is now. FY 2003 Budget Soon it will be time to act on something else as well. In February, you will receive my budget for fiscal year 2003. From health care to education, the coming budget will present some challenging choices. One choice we do not have is to abrogate our constitutional duty to pass a balanced budget. Actually we are making good progress on the budget, and I am grateful to many of you for the input you've given. One thing about the budget is already clear: The decisions you must make won't get any easier if you wait! 500,000 Job Plan Long term, state budget needs are dramatically lessened when we improve the family budget by raising incomes and cutting taxes. Tonight, I have spoken about some opportunities that will transform Michigan. Another opportunity was analyzed in a study by the respected technology experts at Gartner Consulting. �The study documents Michigan's need for a high speed infrastructure. The ability to move data, voice, and video at high speed along the information highway is not only essential to business and education today; it will lead to growth and investment tomorrow. Gartner estimates that a significantly greater deployment of broadband could mean a half million new jobs over baseline projections in the next decade, and an increase in state economic output by half a trillion dollars. Do we seriously want to turn our back on 500,000 new jobs? Or 250,000? Or even 100,000? I want those jobs, and I want those jobs in Michigan. More jobs and higher incomes aren't the only benefits. For many families, there just isn't enough time in the day. For some, high speed connections may be an answer. Moms or dads able to work at home would have more time with their children. People with illnesses could get a second opinion, a third opinion. Students could access the libraries of the world without ever leaving home. Citizens could access improved government services. Grandparents could stay in touch with their grandkids. So with all the benefits, what's the problem? Some say, "Do nothing- there's no need; we've already solved the problem." Others say, "Wait- eventually the market will handle it." And a few say, "It's not my problem- if you don't like it, move." Well, in the 1970s and '80s, we tried those approaches on other issues. Sometimes we put off reform and did nothing. Sometimes we refused to change and simply waited. It turned out the problems were our problems. They didn't go away- but the jobs went away, and right behind them, our sons and daughters. In the '90s, Michigan chose to lead; Michigan moved to the fore, where we have been most of our history. Once again, we have a choice to make. If our state lags behind on broadband, we will be like the towns that were bypassed by the Interstate. Most continued to exist, but the growth went elsewhere, and their future was imperiled. Michigan has a choice: to lead or to lag. Let's choose to lead. I urge you to pass MI HiS peed Internet plan. �Education & Accountability While leading the way with expanded health care coverage and highspeed Internet connections are important for Michigan, improving education remains my top priority. From day one, educating children has been my passion. Education, more than any other single factor, will assure Michigan's quality of life and economic future. In 1991 I began my first year. That same year, this year's graduating seniors were first graders. I'm sure we're all curious: How have they done? But the more important question to ask is: How have we done by them? That's a question we can answer. We have made Michigan a model for the nation. We passed Proposal A- our greatest achievement. We greatly increased funding. Total state and local funding for schools has gone up almost 70 percent -more than double the inflation rate- much more than funding for state government. We made school funding fair. We virtually eliminated millage elections. Prior to 1994 there were a few rich school districts, and everybody else was trying to pass their millage. We gave massive property tax relief valued at almost $3 billion per year to farmers, seniors and homeowners. What has that meant to a typical family? In Ann Arbor last year, it meant an average annual savings of $2,500. In Livonia last year, it meant an average annual savings of $2,300. When it comes to kids, I have always believed the answer to the question -"How have we done by them?" -- is about a lot more than money. It's about reform. And it's about results. We made reform a priority by: • providing educational choices for families. • bringing charter schools into existence. • ending illegal strikes; • rewarding high performing schools and students; • enhancing technology for teachers and students; • restructuring the Detroit Public Schools; and, • reporting to the public and to parents critical information about our schools. • creating competition among schools for students. Today, across Michigan, school districts are actively recruiting children. You can hear it in radio ads. �You can see it on the billboards. You can see in TV commercials. School districts are marketing their strengths and selling their improvements. In reaching out to families, they seek to capture the imagination of families that are searching for the best value in education. The fact that public schools are promoting quality faculties, higher test scores, and expanded curricula all proves the gains Michigan is making. These reforms, and many more, are leading to impressive results. A significant and convincing measure of those results are higher test scores. By many measures, our students are performing better than they were 12 years ago: • Last spring, we greeted the news that Michigan students placed first in the nation in math and science achievement. This from the respected and internationally benchmarked study of the Third International Math and Science Study [TIMSS]. • In August, we noted with pride that Michigan fourth and eighth graders who took the math portion of the NAEP [National Assessment for Education Progress] test scored above the national average. In fact, only five states outscored our fourth graders, and only four states scored significantly higher than our eighth graders. • Michigan high schoolers, on average, do better than kids from other states on the ACT and SAT. What is even better news is that, on average, more students are taking the tests than in years past. • Finally, we are getting better results across the board on our state MEAP tests- from elementary and middle to high school students. In fact, last year almost 48,000 high school graduates earned Merit Awards for proficiency in math, science, reading, and writing. With all of the work done over the last decade, with all the good news, is there still room for improvement? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Almost 40 percent of our 4th graders are still not reading at a satisfactory level. No excuse can justify that. Children simply cannot succeed in life if they cannot read in the classroom. All children have to learn to read. Our strategy- keep the focus on each child. No child should be left behind. �For schools that leave children behind, our State Board of Education may some day hold those schools accountable and give them a grade. Believe it or not, the board's new target for final grades is sometime in 2006. I don't have to wait until 2006 to give this State Board their final grade on accountability. They deserve an F. The legislature should not wait for leadership from the State Board of Education. I urge you to pass promptly a package of bills that will bring Michigan into full compliance with the No Child Left Behind Act signed this month by President Bush. I am proud that Michigan has been a hotbed of education innovation. We have done much. Time after time, we have risen to the challenge. Michigan's Constitution talks of knowledge being necessary to the ''happiness of mankind." Tonight, looking at Michigan's future and the importance of understanding science and technology, the challenges ahead for our schools are clear. We have work to do, and we cannot afford to leave any child behind. Good night. God bless you. And God bless the great State of Michigan. ### � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"We decided to use the Five-a-Day plan. There is a great need for better nutrition in today's youth and there are too many young couch potatoes out there," said Teresa. Through the Five-a-Day program, Krysti and Teresa go to local elementary schools where they host mini-assemblies toafterschool programs sponsored by the 21 51 Century Learning Centers. They explain the importance of eating five servings of fruits and vegetables every day and what portion servings are. For example, a simple glass of 100 percent juice counts as a serving of fruit. After learning about these things, making a goal to eat five servings offruits and vegetables every day is much less intimidating. At the end of the presentation, Teresa hands out coupons sponsored by several local grocers which, when redeemed, allow children to get a free serving of fruit, such as an apple or a banana. They also receive a certificate of participation from Bobby Banana, found on the Dole 5-a-Day web site {www.dole5aday.com ). "We are hoping to instill a lifelong habit of good eating," said Teresa. "It is the least we can do for our kids."

A Healthy Start-Before Birth and Beyond By Unda Adam, MCSC DisabWty Coordinator A healthy child starts with a healthy mom. The March of Dimes promotes maternal and child health through the folic acid campaign, prenatal care initiatives, and educational programs for professionals and communities. But even with the best prenatal care, some children will experience developmental disabilities. One mother described having a child with a disability as taking a trip and landing in Holland-when you'd dreamed of and planned for a trip to Italy. Holland is wonderful but your arrival there requires a significant change of plans. Michigan's EARLY ON program is designed to help parents of young children (birth to three) adjust to that change by identifying developmental delays and providing appropriate resources. Get more information. • . Visit the March of Dimes website at www.modimes.org, or read more about arriving in Holland instead of Italy at iparenting.com/resources/articles/Holland.htm.

These calls are held the fourth Thursday of the month at 9:00a.m. Every other month the target group involved with the call changes. For example, the December 2001 call is for anyone involved with Michigan's Promise in any way - lead and secondary Community of Promise contacts, Community Partners, steering committee members, youth, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows, site supervisors, etc. The January 2002 call will specifically target the Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows and Promise Fellow Site Supervisors. The Promise Fellow/Site Supervisor calls are mandatory. The Link is also sent out around the same time as the Promise Fellow and Site Supervisor conference calls. This format continues throughout the year. So ... eve!) Michigan Community of Promise has an opportunity to hear from and connect with the larger group on a monthly basis. We encourage each and every one of you to participate in these calls. It is a great opportunity to network with others, hear good stories. learn new approaches, and receive feedback on something with which you may be struggling. Because we know that everyone can't participate in every call, we will keep the minutes of each call on file here at the MCSC. If you would like to receive a copy of these conference call minutes, pleas<: email your request to Mary Ann Williams at williamsrn24@state.mi.us no later than 24 hours before the conference call you know you will be unabl<: to attend. We love for everyone to participate as much as possible, but understand that sometimes there are circumstances that keep you frorr doing so. We hope that this will help everyone to stay better connected to the group.

Backgrou nd The following is a draft summary of the general discussion of the members and friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) at the 2001 MCSC Commissioner Retreat at Brook Lodge in Augusta, Michigan on September 10 1h and 11 th. The theme of this event was "Transitions." This theme was crafted to address the anticipated changes at state and federal levels that may impact the work of the MCSC. However, in light of recent events, it could very well be equally appropriate to use this theme to illustrate the changing times in which we will live given the horrific events of September 11 , 2001. Now, more than ever before, communities will need to look at local issues and find creative solutions to solving them. Creative volunteer solutions will not depend on the work of any one individual or organization, not just because of scarce resources, but because we will need more opportunities to bring people together. This was clearly on the minds of Commissioners as they discussed the future of the MCSC . The staff of the MCSC has synthesized the feedback received from the Commissioners and offered responses in the form of specific recommendations for operational modifications for the MCSC. (The summary of the feedback from the commissioners is paraphrased and is in no way intended to serve as a verbatim recollection of the dialogue that took place at the Retreat). These recommendations are based on the principles and goals articulated in the "Future ofMCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in Michigan" approved by the members of the MCSC at their December 2000 meeting (see attached document entitled, "Future ofMCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in Michigan"). Method The Retreat provided opportunities for Commissioners to (a) learn about the future context that the MCSC must operate within, (b) hear the advice and counsel of expe1is in the areas most likely to impact the future work of the MCSC, and (c) dialogue about concerns, questions and strategies that might help staff further develop their operating plans for the future- both long- and short-term. (A copy of the agenda is attached) . �Results Data from the retreat proceedings is broken down into three primary areas: • What did we ask? This section summarizes the fundamental questions commissioners asked both during the Retreat and prior. • What we heard? This section provides a brief summary ofthe conclusions drawn during the discussions of September 101h and 11 th. • What now? Finally this section provides the responses of staff as to how the Commissioner recommendations may be incorporated into the day-to-day operations of the MCSC and can serve to define the goals and objectives of the MCSC's work both long- and short-term. What did we ask? • What are the forces calling for change? o Why change what is not broken? o Why should the MCSC exist if the ConnectMichigan Alliance could do it? o How will the MCSC survive a transition in Governors and Legislators? o What federal changes will there be and how will the changes impact the MCSC- if at all? • What if the MCSC were not around? o Is there a back up plan? o Is this really a concern given the many partners out there advocating on our behalf? o Should we dwell on the worst-case scenario or move on toward making the most of the potential changes (i.e. exploit the opportunities). • What does the MCSC look like in this new era/dynamic? o How does the MCSC change? o What will it do that is new? o What will it no longer do? o How will changes impact the way the MCSC conducts its business? • How can I (commissioner) continue to support what the MCSC will be doing in the future- both long- and short-term? o What are the specific tasks for each commissioner? o How can my (commissioner) skills, relationships, leadership and organizational affiliations be most helpful? o What component of the MCSC's work/needs can I (commissioner) address? �What did we (staff) hear? • • • The MCSC has done well with a tremendous amount of growth and steady focus on overall mission. Nothing is broken. No radical changes appear necessary, but a refocusing, refinement and renewal process for the MCSC's activities may be necessary in light of recent (healthy) developments. As a vital component of the volunteer service field in Michigan, the MCSC must further clarify its role as a grant-making organization while creatively utilizing the partners : o ConnectMichigan Alliance and affiliates- Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers of Michigan o Michigan Nonprofit Association o Corporation for National and Community Service o Council ofMichigan Foundations o State ofMichigan agencies with volunteer support services o Michigan Legislature o Michigan Executive Branch o Other organizations as the need arises What now? With the aforementioned questions in mind, the staff of the MCSC has developed a general action plan. This plan is grounded in the belief that people make the real difference in our communities and in the lives of others and that resources and support are needed to help Michigan citizens serve. The MCSC's role in supporting this belief is focused on making connections between the public and private sectors through resources and other forms of support that foster partnerships and that share the lessons learned. Above all, however, the MCSC will be asking itself, "What have we done to help others volunteer?" The Charge The MCSC will focus on directing, cultivating and analyzing public resources/support that can support service and volunteerism in Michigan in effective, efficient and meaningful ways and communicate the lessons learned. The Strategies Directing Public Resources/Support (focusing) • • Allocation- effectively and efficiently providing flexible and meaningful resources to volunteer-oriented organizations. Collaboration- seeking out organizations to find ways to partner and maximize existing resources �• Coordination- working with existing volunteer-oriented organizations receiving public funds to effectively focus increasingly precious resources Cultivating Public Resources/Support (renewing) • • • Communication- publicly affirming and celebrating the good work that is supported and made possible through specific, appropriate and limited government assistance. Outreach- seeking out individuals and organizations that can benefit from the types of support that the MCSC, or that other partner organizations can provide. Education- informing leaders, policy makers and decision makers about the work of the MCSC and its grantees to demonstrate and affinn the need for public sector support for service and volunteerism. Analyzing Public Resources/Support (refining) • • • Research- examining where public resources for service and volunteerism can be most effective and least effective. Evaluation- taking critical examinations of the MCSC's grant making to determine what (if any) changes, benefits and lessons can be drawn. Dissemination- finding ways to share the information and lessons gleaned from the work of the MCSC with those who most need to know. �MCSC Action Plan Issue/Questions Strat~ (Goal) Task(s) Timeline Responsibility �Michigan Communitv Service Commission Commission Meeting and Retreat "Transitions" September 10-11, 2001 Brook Lodge, Augusta Agenda Mond ay, September 10, 2001 MCSC Quarterly Meeting oon - 1:00 p.m. Lunch buffet in the Foyer of the Upjolm Building 1:00 p.m.- 2:30p.m. Conunission Meeting in Upjolm Ballroom 2:30p.m. - 2:45 p.m. Break (soda's, coffee and cookies) MCSC 2001 Commissioner Retreat - "Transition s" The MCSC and the Michigan volunteer sector will soon be facing a number of changes. • The ovember 2002 elections will usher in a new Govemor and a radically changed House of Representatives and Senate. • The Corporation for National Service is coming under new leadership under the Bush Administ:ration- Les Lenkowski as CEO and Steve Goldsmith as Chair of the Board. • The ConnectMichigan Alliance has formed as a hub organization for Michigan 's volunteeroriented nonprofit organizations. How will the MCSC deal with these exciting changes and what opportunities for growth, innovation and sustainability exist in this new future? Starting to form the answers to these questions, in light of the strategic planning that has been presented to the members by staff, is our charge for this planning retreat. Day One - Perspectives on Transitions 2:45p.m. Russ Mawby will give an overview and introduce our facilitator, Alice Buh1 Views from the Na tional Service Perspective Over 65% of the MCSC 's funding comes from Corporation for National Service to support national service programs including AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve Michigan (service-learning), and Promise Fellows (working on America's Promise). The Bush Administration has demonstrated its commitment to national service by ensuring that full funding for the Corporation for National Service remains part of the President's Budget as well as entrusting some of the work of his Faith �Based Initiative with AmeriCorps. What are priorities of this administration and how will they impact the work of the MCSC?

Over the past decade, the nonprofit community and the volunteers that make up the workforce for this sector have been provided resources, attention and support. These efforts have produced one of the nation 's fust state commissions on service, the nation' s only state-funded volunteer resource center endowment grant, a host of national service programs, a premiere volunteer recognition program and a series of meetings and conferences to discuss how government can do its work better for our state 's volunteer sector. Finally, through the championing of the work of the MCSC, the Michigan Legislature has provided its support through codifying legislation and annual appropriations of $2 million in state funding . �Day One - Perspectives on Transitions (continued) Views from the State Political Perspective (continued) Soon, these supporters will be gone due to term limits. After ovember of 2002, no member of the Michigan House of Representatives will have been in office when the MCSC was formed. The Governor and First Lady will not have the name Engler and the Senate will have only a handful of members returning from the previous body. How can the MCSC maintain it relationships with key officials and how can it ensure support from the next Governor and Legislature for Michigan's volunteer sector? 8:00p.m. Terry Pruitt will introduce guest speakers for evening program - Bill Ballenger from Inside Michigan Politics and William Rustem from Public Sector Consultants.

How should it communicate its purpose? Should the MCSC do business differently? If so, how? If not, why? What should the short (12 months) and long (five years) goals of this organization be in light of these facts?

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee Members FROM: Paula Kaiser, Director Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Staff Recommendations for Learn and Serve-Michigan School-based Grants and Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow Grants DATE: December 6, 2001 ofProgr~ Learn & Serve Michigan School Based Grants Background The MCSC has $750,000 for FY 2002 to fund Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based programs. In September the board approved 22 grants totaling $487,675 . The staff conduct another application process to solicit additional school-based grants for the remaining $262,325. The application guidelines were sent to all local School Districts, Intermediate School Districts, charter schools, and public school academies. The MCSC offered three categories of funding. School districts that have never received Learn and Serve funding were able to apply for up to $6,000 in order to develop a plan to establish academic service-learning throughout the district. School districts that have received funds in the past were able to apply for up to $15,000 to expand quality academic service-learning practice throughout the district. Finally, the MCSC offered grants of up to $30,000 to school districts to establish partnerships between institutions of higher educations, K-12 school districts, and community organizations whose primary goal is to advance the institutionalization and sustainability of academic service-learning through policy, research, and dissemination initiatives. The MCSC hosted technical assistance conference calls on October 18th and 19th for all schools interested in applying. Schools districts interested in applying were required to submit an Intent to Apply form by October 24, 2001 . The MCSC received 11 applications on November 14, 2001. The applications were reviewed by an external panel of reviewer on November 26, 2001. The peer reviewers recommended that 7 applications be moved forward to the staff review. The staff reviewed them and make the follow recommendations: �School Based Planning Grant Applicants Planning grants are available to school districts to develop a plan to establish academic servicelearning throughout the district. Applicants are asked to organize systems and stakeholders who will spend the year developing broad goals for implementing quality academic service-learning practice throughout the following two years. Applicants are required to pilot one academic service-learning activity at the end oftheir initial planning year. Applicants may apply for up to $6,000 for planning grants. The staff recommends funding at the requested amount for the following applicant: Legal Applicant Funding Requested Funding Recommended Clinton County RESA * $15,000 $6,000 Kaleva Norman Dickson School District* $15 ,000 $6,000 Southfield Public Schools $6,000 $6,000 Southgate Community Schools $6,000 $6,000 Total $42,000 $24,000 * Both applicants applied for an implementation grant but based on peer and staff review, they are being recommended for a planning grant.

Districts must demonstrate knowledge of and experience with promoting academic service-learning in previous years. The primary goal of the implementation grants is the expansion of quality academic service-learning practice. Applicants in this category are asked to articulate three-year goals for advancing academic service-learning district wide. Applicants must also prepare one-year objectives in the areas of quality practice, professional development, advisory board development, school and community collaborations, dissemination, and program sustainability. Applicants may apply for up to $15,000 for implementation grants. 2 �" Th esa t ff recommen d s fund mgat th e reques t ed amount fior th e fioll owmg app r1cant: Legal Applicant Funding Funding Requested Recommended Cedar Springs Schools $15,000 $15,000 Northville Public Schools $15,000 $15,000 Total $30,000 $30,000 The following applicants applied for an implementation grant but are not being recommended for funding: Legal Applicant Freeland Community Schools Funding Requested $20,000 Funding Recommended $0 Total $20,000 $0 School Based CHESP Grant Applicants Implementation Plus CHESP grants are awarded to school districts to establish partnerships between institutions of higher education, K-12 school districts, and community organizations.

To be considered for funding, applicants must demonstrate that a strong foundation of service-learning practice exists in their district and that strategic planning for program sustainability has taken place. Applicants may apply for up to $30,000 for CHESP grants. The following applicant applied for an implementation grant but is not being recommended for funding: Legal Applicant Council of Michigan Foundations Funding Requested $26,000 Funding Recommended $0 Total $26,000 $0 The staff is recommending a total of 6 Learn and Serve-Michigan school-based programs for funding for a total of $54,000. The staff is currently reviewing options for the disbursement of the remaining $208,325. Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows For FY 2002, the MCSC has $172,500 in CNS funding to support 15 Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Promise Fellows for Michigan' s Communities of Promise. Grantees eligible for renewal were given the opportunity to renew their current fellow(s) position. In addition, other Communities of Promise were invited to apply. The application guidelines were sent to all Communities of Promise in October. A total of nine applications were received requesting $$172,500 to support 3 �15 fellows . The MCSC staff conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions are due to MCSC December 21, 2001 Due to the tight application and review timeline, the staff was not able to negotiate all funding issues prior to presenting their funding recommendations to the board. Therefore, the staff is recommending provisional funding pending satisfactory completion of application reVISIOnS. Staff Recommendations New Applicants 1) The staff recommends new funding at the requested amount for the follow applicants: Legal Applicant #of Fellows Funding Funding Requested Requested Recommended Commission for Lansing Schools 1 $11,500 $11 ,500 Success (CLASS) 1 $11,500 $11,500 Isabella County MSU Extension 2 Marquette Alger Youth Foundation $23,000 $23,000 Sault Ste.

Until Congress pass the appropriation bill the CNCS will not be able to provide the MCSC with this figure. The staff has reviewed the formula allotment from the past two years and anticipates about the same amount roughly $2.8 million dollars. This may fluctuate based on the census data. In addition, the CNSC has limited the number of applications we can submit for competitive funding to two applications and that number includes programs that must recompete. 4 �Twenty five of the twenty six Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are eligible to be renewed. If The MCSC renews all of our current formula funded programs it would equate to $2,866,728 . As a result, the staff recommends that we not conduct an application process to select new Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. If our formula allotment exceeds the $2.8 million then staff will evaluate the best option for disbursement of the funds. The Family Independence Agency Family Services Corps AmeriCorps program, a competitive funded program, is the only program that is not eligible to be renewed. They are currently in the third year of a three-year funding cycle and therefore are required to recompete as a new program. Rather than penalize them because the staff is recommending to not conduct an application process to select new grantees, the staff recommends allowing them to reapply. They would be required to follow the same process a new applicant would including being peer and staff reviewed. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Reforms to the Corporation for National and Community Service as articulated in testimony offered by Michigan to Congress and by the nation's governors is adopted (see May 18, 1995 Testimony ofMichelle Engler, before the House Government Reform and Oversight Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Operations and the National Governor's Association National Service Policy, HR-24); 2. Programs funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service should be coordinated through a coordinated plan that crosses all "streams of service" and that focuses resources, coordination, administration and accountability on the state and local levels; 3. Adequate and flexible funding for programming, training and technical assistance, evaluation and administration should be afforded to states and communities to effectively operate national service programs; �4. Barriers to those who wish to serve and are on public assistance or who wish to transfer their benefits to others should be removed; 5. Methods of accountability and oversight should be balanced with the national service resources made available for those functions; and 6. States and local communities should be provided the greatest level of flexibility to fully utilize national service resources and match those resources with local needs. Adoption of these recommendations and the swift passage of reauthorizing legislation will provide the continuing support Michigan's national service network needs to sustain its noble efforts. Adopted by the members of the Michigan Community Service Commission December 14, 2001. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Director of Programs Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Program Division Director's Report DATE: December 3, 2001 Enclosed for your review is my program division update of our recent accomplishments and upcoming activities. Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration On November 13,2001, the MCSC hosted the third annual Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration in Lansing. The event gathered more than 400 AmeriCorps members for a day of orientation, training, and networking. The day culminated with the members being officially sworn in by Commissioner Watkins. Thank you to all the commissioners that attended the event. Michigan's AmeriCorps FY 2002- 03 Application Process Currently the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is unable to provide us with the exact dollar amount of our formula allotment for FY 2003. Until Congress passes the appropriation bill the CNCS will not be able to provide the MCSC with this figure. The staff has reviewed the formula allotment from the past two years and anticipates about the same amount roughly $2.8 million dollars. This may fluctuate based on the census data. In addition, the CNSC has limited the number of applications we can submit for competitive funding to two applications and that number includes programs that must recompete. Twenty-five of the twenty-six Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are eligible to be renewed. If the MCSC renews all of our current formula funded programs it would equate to $2,866,728. As a result, the staff recommends that we not conduct an application process to select new Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. Please see the staff recommendation memo dated December �6, 2001 for the specific recommendation. Staff Update In my last report I indicated that Michael Freeman, the MCSC training and technical assistance coordinator would now being serving as one of the Michigan's AmeriCorps program coordinators and that I would be soliciting resumes to fill the second AmeriCorps program coordinator position. I am pleased to announce that Kimberlee Andrews joined the MCSC staff on November 26, 2001. Kim brings a wealth of AmeriCorps experience to the position, as she is a former staff member for two of our Michigan's AmeriCorps programs as well as a former member. Learn & Serve- Michigan Learn & Serve-Michigan School-Based Program 2001-02 Application Process The MCSC has $750,000 for FY 2002 to fund Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based programs. In September the board approved 22 grants totaling $487,675. The staff conducted another application process to solicit additional school-based grants for the remaining $262,325. The application guidelines were sent to all local School Districts, Intermediate School Districts, charter schools, and public school academies. The staff is recommending a total of 6 Learn and Serve-Michigan school-based programs for funding for a total of$54,000. The staff is currently reviewing options for the disbursement of the remaining $208,325 . Please see the staff recommendation memo dated December 61h. Institute on Academic Service-Learning The MCSC in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact and Eastern Michigan University will be hosting an Institute on Academic Service-Learning on February 8-9, 2002. Faculty, staff, administrators and students are invited to participate in the institute. Featured speakers include, Dr. Barbara Holland, a Senior Scholar in the Center for Service and Learning at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Dr. Jim Kielsmeier, President and CEO of the National Youth Leadership Council, and Dr. Samuel Kirkpatrick, President of Eastern Michigan University. Please see the attached brochure for additional information. Volunteer Investment Grants <VIG) VIG 2002 update In September, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified that the $1 million line item for the FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants would be reduced to $907,300 due to state budget cuts. In November, we were notified of an additional cut of $50,000 to bring the available amount of dollars to $857,300. Although we were disappointed in the budget cut, we feel that we fared well compared to other state department given the significance of the overall budget reductions for the state. We are unclear if this is a permanent reduction or a temporary one given the current budget constraints. We will keep you posted, as we know more. On November 16, 2001, the staff presented their FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant funding recommendations to the executive committee for approval. Please see the 2 �attached memo for additional information. The MCSC is pleased to note that for the first time we received requests in excess of the amount available and we disseminated all available funds. The FY 2002 grants began December 1, 2001. Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Program Update In June, the MCSC submitted an application to the Corporation for National Service for another year of support for the Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program. The Corporation approved our application at the requested amount for $177,000 to support 15 promise fellows. Grantees eligible for renewal were given the opportunity to renew their current fellow(s) position. In addition, other Communities of Promise were invited to apply. The application guidelines were sent to all Communities ofPromise in October. A total of nine applications were received requesting $$172,500 to support 15 fellows. Please see the staff recommendation memo dated December 6, 2001 for additional information. Tri-State Orientation For the past two years, the MCSC has partnered with the Ohio Commission and the Indiana Commission to conduct a three-day orientation for all Promise Fellows from the three states. Plans are currently underway for the third tri-sate orientation that will occur January 31 February 2 in Hillsdale, Michigan. Training and Technical Assistance Annual PDAT Plan We submitted our annual Program Development and Training (PDAT) plan to the Corporation on October 30, 2001. Although we have not received official notification of funding, we have received preliminary indication that it will be approved as requested. New Staff We are pleased to announce that Andy Younger joined the MCSC staff on October 29, 2001 as the new Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator. Andy came to us from the University of Michigan -Flint's Office of Service Learning and School Partnerships as the Community Service Coordinator. Prior to that Andy served for one year as an AmeriCorps members with the Genesee County AmeriCorps Program. As an AmeriCorps member, he served at the Resource Center, Genesee County's volunteer center where he had the opportunity to coordinate a number of volunteer events and programs. Peer Exchange with other State Service Commissions We continue to help build the capacity of not only our own commission but the other commissions across the country. On December 10- 11, the MCSC hosted two new staff members from the Iowa commission for a peer exchange on the administration of our Michigan's AmeriCorps program. On December li\ the MCSC hosted the new training coordinators from the Iowa Commission, the Nebraska Commission, the Wisconsin Commission, and the Minnesota Commission to learn how we implement our training and technical assistance initiative. Tom Lenhard, one ofCNCS's training coordinators, attended as well. 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In high school we all were pretty comfortable and didn't mind taking charge and being a leader, but in college it is totally different. When I first got to Western I was uery intimidated. I wasn't sure where to start, but once I got used to be away from home things got easier. Personally, I think that It Is way more difficult to actually decide what His that you want to get lnuolued ln. There are so many different groups, the main thing Is to go out and learn about what Interests you. If you thought that you were helping a lot of people while you uolunteered In high school, then just imagine how many people you can reach if you get people lnuolued in your college community. ftlways remember that It only takes one person to make a difference, so don't euer think that you don't count. BY: ASHLEY DA Yn In late spring 2001, several new members were invited to join the ranks. Congratulations to our new members! Good luck to the entire MYPAC team as they continue to share service with youth across Michigan.

I haue also been helping to plan some local celebrations for the 4-H Centennial Year in 2002. I am also a member of the Karol Players Theater Guild which puts on dinner theaters and giues the profit to local charities, so I haue been rehearsing and preparing for our neHt play, coming up in December. The Theater Guild members are currently considering an additional performance at the Ueterans Home. At a recent meeting of 4-H Teen Leaders, I gaue a brief oueruiew of Malee a Difference Day and eHplained how to get a project started or connect with an eHisting project. In case you are wondering, I do haue an idea in mind that I am working on for Malee a Difference Day. *Executive Council By: Tiffany Wieland �Ever had one of those kind of ~ays? You know what I'm talking about.. . the day where nothing seems to get done, but absolutely everything is due? The kind of day where people keep asking you for help, for your point of view, for your ideas on things and you just can't even think straight? Welcome to life in college - a continuum of things due and no time to get them done. With that kind of lifestyle, one might ask how we could continue to find time to be involved in community service. Yet, despite of all the things that I have to do for school, the projects that are due, the study groups I have to meet with, and the tests to study for - I have never once turned down the opportunity to serve. Maybe it just provides me the opportunity to break away from the stress and chaos of my life and get involved in helping someone else. In addition, I just enjoy being able to impact the lives of others. Or perhaps - I just like the whole idea of service to my community. You can always make time for the things that you want to do ... trust me, I have been known to shop in the hours before major exams! Speaking of which . .. I actually have one coming up soon that I should get ready for! The priority right now however, is to convince you that no matter how busy you are, you can still have time for service. Alright, I know that you can't go for a weekend to New York to help cleaning efforts there, and I certainly understand that you won't be able to take a week-long trip somewhere to help build a house for someone. Yet I do know that you can take a couple hours here or there to make a positive difference in the life of someone else. Maybe it's through volunteering at your local place of worship. Maybe you could take a little kid you know to the park - having fun with them and giving the mom a break at the same time. Or maybe all you need is to just take a few minutes to rake the yard of the elderly person who lives down the street. None of this is too timeconsuming (unlike the time its taking to write this!), but it could make a huge impact on someone' s life (something this article just might not be able to do). You get the point? I hope so! Service is always good, always helpful, and can always be performed. So why are you still sitting here reading my article? Go out and help someone! While you do that, maybe I should go do some studying... and then I just might have to come By: Krysta Oechsle l> join you! oomeworde rrom the wiee...

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members ofthe Executive Committee of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Director of Programs RE : Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant Funding Recommendations DATE: November 14, 2001 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants FY 2002 In September, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified that the $1 million line item for the FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants would be reduced to $907,300 due to state budget cuts. In November, we were notified of an additional cut of $50,000 to bring the available amount of dollars to $857,300. Although we were disappointed in the budget cut, we feel that we fared well compared to other state department given the significance of the overall budget reductions for the state. We are unclear if this is a permanent reduction or a temporary one given the current budget constraints. We will keep you posted as we know more. In September, the MCSC issued the Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants application guidelines. All former and existing grantees received the guidelines. In addition, the MCSC sent a copy of the guidelines to all of the Community Foundations, United Ways, Volunteer Centers, and Michigan Campus Compact affiliates. The applications were due to the MCSC on October 22,2001. We received 18 applications requesting $1,057,658 . The applications were peer reviewed on November 1, 2001. The peer review recommended 13 of the applications for a total of$718 ,858 proceed to the staff review. The staff was committed to dispersing all ofthe available funds given that the amount requested exceeded the funds available. The staff reviewed all 18 applications including those not recommended to proceed from the peer review. The staff is recommending the 13 applicants recommended from the peer review be funded at the requested level. �The staff is recommending the five applicants not recommended from the peer review receive funding at a reduced level. Although issues were identified with the five applicants recommended at a reduced level, the staff is confident that all of the issue will be addressed over the course of the program year. Due to the tight application and review timeline, the staff was not able to negotiate all funding issues prior to presenting their funding recommendations to the board. Therefore, the staff is recommending provisional funding pending satisfactory completion of application revisions . Recommendation #1 The staff recommends funding for the following applicants at their requested level pending satisfactory completion of application revisions: Applicant Requested Amount Recommended Amount Albion Volunteer Service Organization $75,000 $75,000 Heart of West Michigan United Way $100,000 $100,000 Jackson Nonprofit Support Center $75,000 $75,000 Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center $47,000 $47,000 Marquette County Volunteer Center $25,000 $25,000 Newaygo County Community Services $56,858 $56,858 United Way of Chippewa County $40,000 $40,000 United Way Volunteer Connections $25,000 $25,000 Volunteer Center ofBattle Creek $100,000 $100,000 Volunteer Center of Mid-Michigan $25 ,000 $25,000 Volunteer Center of Otsego County $65,000 $65,000 Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan $35 ,000 $35,000 Volunteer Muskegon! $50,000 $50,000 Total $718,858 $718,858 Page 2 �Recommendation #2 The staff recommends provisional funding for the following applicants at a reduced level pending satisfactory completion of application revisions: Applicant Requested Amount Recommended Amount Barry County United Way $46,300 $25 ,000 Hillsdale County Volunteer Resource Center $42,500 $25 ,000 Resource Center $50,000 $25,000 Volunteer Center of Greater Ottawa County $100,000 $31 ,720 Volunteer Center ofNorthwest Michigan $100,000 $31,720 Total $338,800 $138,440 Page 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MS. ESTRADA: Thanks, Pat. NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 What we're �33 going to do today is give all of the Commissioners 2 just a brief update 3 accomplished 4 marketing plan. 5 the basis where we started as a Commission. 6 the first one is, is that the transition issues we 7 faced really would require us getting the word out. 8 Some of the things that Russ talked about earlier 9 are critical -- are going to be critical for us now in of the And, the work that development of we have the MCSC we want to start with what And, 10 and as we go forward. II is going to be under greater scrutiny than it has 12 ever been. 13 value as an organization. And, so we really have to And, 14 }n addition, public funding prov~ our then the other thing that has 15 come up in our conversations is that the MCSC is 16 known nationally, but probably not as well known in 17 our state. 18 national 19 So, we hired a coaching firm called RX Coaching and 20 I 21 And, we meet weekly and I walk away with pounds of 22 homework that I have to turn and then we go over my 23 homework 24 walking me 25 marketing plan. And, so, it's time for us to take our reputation and bring it into Michigan. have been working with them since November every week. through And, the And, they process of are 7th. basically developing a it's not something that I'm NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �34 doing by myself. I'm pulling in staff as needed, 2 we've consulted with 3 Relations 4 approach to making this happen. Committee, the so Marketing it's and actually Public a team 5 The initial step that we've gotten 6 down so far, we've developed a work statement that 7 very 8 Commission. 9 are and we are serv ing Commissioners and staff to clearly of articulates the work of the We defined what the MCSC's priorities 10 kind create II forward. 12 statement 13 that 14 development of the marketing plan and to make sure 15 that 16 mission 17 plan development. The and it's we a importance our used stay of on And, for track our work going creating organizational internally throughout 18 foundation to the the process of work priori ties really with this derive are the organization's the marketing so the work statement that we 19 created for the MCSC -- this was staff, again, the 20 Public Relations 21 draft. The mission of the MCSC is to increase the 22 capacity of Michigan's volunteer sector. 23 I go through this, 24 use only. 25 the public. Committee, devised this as a And, as remember this is for internal This isn't like what we're sharing with We do this by conducting research and NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �35 evaluations, funds, by 2 selecting and training high quality grantees, we 3 oversee we 4 acknowledge the success and effectiveness of the 5 volunteer sector. and by securing and granting monitor And, 6 we grantee do this results, so that and Michigan 7 citizens meet community needs through service and 8 volunteerism. 9 call work statement of the Commission. So, this is the over arching what we And, I want 10 to kind of just pause here for a second to see if II this group is in consensus that this is indeed the 12 work that the Commission does and should be the 13 foundation for the work of the marketing plan. 14 UNKNOWN: Mary, I have one. 15 MS. ESTRADA: Yes. 16 UNKNOWN: Just to kind o f frame this, 17 because it's a lot and it's got to sink in. But, 18 what we're really using this for is to tell staff 19 that based on our overall mission statement and the 20 goals that we want to drive the Commission in, all 21 the work we've done in the past decade, this is the 22 piece that will allow us to community that mission 23 and activity to the public. 24 that allows us to effectively prove what we already 25 know and this will be the piece that we use to best This will be the piece NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �36 ·.. So that's influence our state 2 kind of the basis, the premises behind this. Again, you pointed out (coughing) it 3 4 is not a revision 5 commission and values, 6 piece that staff uses to communicate all the stuff 7 that we're doing well and that we want to continue 8 to do. organizational core, this is really an internal Is that correct? MS. 9 10 of our correct. ESTRADA: J Yes, Chris. MS. 11 absolutely That's KWAK: This is Chris 12 speaking. 13 that 14 marketing. The 15 volunteerism. I know that this is about marketing, 16 but 17 whenever I think of the Commission I think of, you 18 know, 19 program for the concept in the State of Michigan. 20 You want to tell us about that. 21 a I Chris Kwak. Yes. bullet wonder, the that in Mary, would you add on to would be a marketing terms Commission of of an really word is about service overt the the and statement, ambassador MS. ESTRADA: Yeah, we had-- there's 22 actually a couple thoughts. One is that we did 23 have a discussion about that and that marketing is 24 the tool, and, so, it's not necessarily part of the 25 work statement or part of the priorities, but it's NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �37 a tool. But, that we thought we had addressed 2 that, and maybe we need to change that last bullet 3 up there into acknowledging and sharing. Because what -- a big part of what we 4 5 do is sharing information with the sector. 6 so, we had thought we had covered that in the last 7 bullet, but maybe we need to define it a little bit 8 more to include the sharing of information. MS. 9 a beacon Something along the lines ~r 10 of II Something that really makes clear the function and 12 the role of holding this up in a society that has 13 so many competing demands and priorities. 14 serve as KWAK: And, serve as too soft -- this is Rob Collier. 16 perhaps too soft a word. 17 a little bit more aggressive. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 lighthouse. MR. COLLIER: Acknowledging is perhaps 15 18 a MR. Acknowledging is We need something that is MAWBY: So, it's kind of a of service and volunteerism that you're talking about, that you really need to get out -MS. KWAK: I think the Commission does do that, and it might be best to -MR. MAWBY: So, it's really strengthening that aspect of MS. ESTRADA: So, we'll rework that or NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �38 add another bullet that strengthens the next thing we did was, that point. 2 Then, 3 statement we created what are the main priorities 4 of our organization. 5 And, the first one is, we need to secure the needed 6 funding 7 organization. in order And, there are five of them. to grant funds and run our So, that's one of our priorities. The 8 from that work second priority is to support, 9 train and gauge staff, commissioners and other MCSC 10 champions so that they 1may carry out the work of 11 the Commission. 12 or 13 local needs. 14 results of research and program evaluations with 15 target markets. 16 service 17 celebrating 18 programs. fund The third priority is to support innovative volunteer programs and that meet The next priority is to share the And, the last one is to promote volunteerism exemplary by recognizing volunteers and and volunteer 19 So, these are the steps -- these are 20 the things that we have prioritized as how we will 21 accomplish 22 discussion. 23 24 25 our MR. work MAWBY: statement. Are those Open all of for equal priority or are they in priority order? MS. ESTRADA: They are NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 not in �39 priority order, they are all of equal importance. 2 And, again, the whole marketing part is a vehicle 3 that will take us to these priori ties. 4 move on. Ready to 5 MR. MAWBY: Hmm,mm. 6 MR. COLLIER: Mary, just one question. 7 MS. ESTRADA: Sure. 8 MR. COLLIER: Rob Collier again. At I of 9 our retreat remember there being a lot 10 discussion about the vatue that the Commission can II play as the catalyst for volunteerism and service 12 within the vastness of state government. 13 you know, 14 point, Kyle, and I don't know if that's reflected 15 in these priorities. 16 don't 17 because I remember there being a lot of discussion 18 about the fact that state government is so big and 19 one of the roles of the Commission can be is to be 20 kind of the catalyst within the state government. 21 Maybe I'm off base. see I it. But, And, maybe it is and I just I just MS. ESTRADA: No. 23 MR. 25 I, just recall that being a discussion 22 24 And, CALDWELL: ask No, that you're question, right on target. MR. COLLIER: I just ask the question. NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �40 MR. CALDWELL: You're right on target. 2 The piece that you ' re talking about is our whole 3 role 4 direction of recognizing volunteerisrn as a tool to 5 communicate 6 state 7 marketing plan. 8 government entity is going to be targeted as one of 9 the stake holders in this. of kind of pointing has now gets solving , become So , a agencies all stake of in that. holder in the The this the State of Michigan as a What you ' re saying is , 10 and II about all these goals and priorities , it ' s strictly 12 around our marketing strategy . 13 cutting goals for the organization as a whole . 14 MR . COLLIER : I see. 15 MR . CALDWELL: Which is what we have 16 what problem state confusi~ is , when we ' re talking It ' s not our cross discussed at the - - 17 MR. COLLIER : Okay . Thank you. 18 MR. this CALDWELL : So , really is 19 about communication and marketing. 20 MR . COLLIER: Got it . 21 MS . ESTRADA : The other thing that I ' d 22 like to add to Kyle's comment i s that under for 23 priority number five , there will be specific groups 24 that we will target . 25 be one of those groups that we would target to talk And , state government would NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-541 0 �41 with 2 them about value of service and Thank you. Got volunteerism. MR. COLLIER: Okay. 3 4 the it. Thank you. That answers my question. MS. 5 ESTRADA: The last piece of the 6 work that we've completed or are completing to date 7 is the marketing survey. 8 Commissioners were asked to complete brief surveys 9 on their perspective plan to go And, the MCSC staff and on where and how we marketing 11 effective. 12 and the Commissioners are resources and can, again, 13 provide some good foundation for us. Because, can this 10 1 we need make it we recognize that the staff So, the survey results will be shared 14 15 with the 16 results of the survey will be incorporated into the 17 marketing plan that we develop. 18 take a little bit of time right now to give the 19 Commissioners 20 Arnericore presentation is not complete unless it's 21 interactive. 22 and 23 Commissioners fill it out. 24 partner organizations 25 table to fill we Commissioners to in January. fill And, So, out the we want to the survey. And, so, here is the marketing survey would ask it out. at this point only We' 11 not asking the and other And, that friends at this if you have already NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �42 filled out the survey, we thank you for that. And, 2 we're just going to take about five minutes right 3 now to have you provide us your input. 4 (TALKING AND LAUGHTER) 5 UNKNOWN: So you're engaged it -- there was a in a 6 marketing plan -- was lot of 7 research that we've never done. 8 work that we've never done that this provides us. 9 And, it really was kind of a hiccup on staff level A lot of ground 10 being able to put together a marketing plan. 11 can 12 communication 13 whatever the issue 14 and deliberately thought through what the process 15 should take us 16 ground work is going to do for us. put together we pieces, but it was. for. MS. 17 a And, can was put together always around We never sat down that's what ESTRADA: We There's all this actually a 18 manila folder that is circulating that you can just 19 go ahead and put your survey into. 20 (Off the record.) 21 * * * * * 22 (Back on the record.) MS. ESTRADA: Okay. 23 lunch, We're going to go 24 ahead and so feel free to keep working 25 as we roll through the next few slides. NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 Okay. So, �43 now that we've gone through these first three 2 steps, we have our work statement, our priorities, 3 and 4 surveys, we need to look at letting you know what 5 our next 6 step, which we have started on, but, again, we're 7 going to need to compilate the survey results to 8 really derive this, is we're going to develop our 9 marketing plan objectives. we're gathering steps the information in this process these And, are. from The the first these, again, as 10 you all know, 11 of what we want to accomplish as a result of our 12 marketing plan. wil~ be the actual objectives 13 The next step will be determining who 14 our target markets are and, Rob, that's when we'll 15 start 16 legislature, 17 that point develop a plan of action, which is the 18 actual action step, 19 reach our objectives. 20 a 21 that's done we will begin the implementation -- 22 actually, the implementation has already begun, but 23 it's in very small steps now. 24 things that I am learning from the coaches we're 25 able talking time line to about state etcetera. in the We're going to then from that we will take to help us And, finally, we'll develop budget. implement government, as And we that, again, once So, just some of the go. But NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 the actual �44 implementation 2 of the plan will follow the We have some initial thoughts, just development process. 3 4 from all of our conversations, 5 that the legislature will be a key target market or 6 audience of this plan. 7 that' s 8 definite. 9 strongly emphasized as part of the plan. one of the That in that, that is We have the feeling that things internal that's going communications we mean be will a be And, by 10 internal 11 Commissioners will be utilized to help us implement 12 the plan, grantees in our programs will be people 13 to help us implement this plan, and that staff will 14 play a critical role in implementing the plan. 15 those are what our initial thoughts at this point 16 are. 17 communicatiorls, to that the So There are going to be many more, but 18 that's our initial thoughts. The timing of this, 19 is, we'll have the initial draft of the marketing 20 plan developed by February 21 additional time lines will follow after that. 22 we have the initial draft of our plan there will be 23 a whole slew of time lines that will follow. 24 things that we may, 25 after this marketing plan is developed, we may need 7 th as a group, of 2002 and then Once The need to consider NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �45 to examine how the following things align with the 2 objectives of our organization and the marketing 3 plan. 4 Commission. 5 at bringing some additional 6 whatever. 7 need to look at. 8 We 9 And, those things are the membership of this We may need to be just kind of looking But, experts on board or that's one of the things we may may making strategies. need to look at our grant We may need to look at whether 10 our recognition events really tie in with what the I 11 mission 12 examine every single activity that the Commission 13 currently does and make sure that it is in line 14 with our organization's priorities. 15 need to look at how we're structured as a staff to 16 see how we meet our organization's priorities. of the organization is. We' 11 need And, to we may 17 So, those are the things that we may 18 need to be talking about once this gets into full 19 swing. 20 is that we think we're going to be incorporating 21 the 22 annual organization's review so that it becomes an 23 integral part of everything that we do. 24 that 25 leverage our national reputation. Other thoughts to ponder as we develop this objectives we need of to the marketing explore ways plan in into which our We think we can Our coaches were NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �46 awed when we told them about what people outside of 2 the State of Michigan knew about us and how the 3 people inside our own state . And , they say that ' s 4 oft e n a very common thing . You ' re reputation is 5 bigger than you are . 6 that we ' re definitely going to be looking at . And , 7 8 budget is s ue s. 9 marketing So , that ' s one of the things there We plan are feel must be going that a to be implementing top priority some the that 10 permeates all our II of 12 implementing 13 solution s . 14 kind additional sponsorship type thing . 15 are some of the other additional thoughts that we 16 know we ' re going to have to deal with as we bring 17 this forward . budget event~ cuts. But , the and activities regardless we also plan may require realize some that creative We may need to be doing some more in So , these And , what role will the Commissioners 18 19 play? Well , at this point this is what we think . 20 We think that the Commissioners will be given clear 21 and concise direction and information s o that you 22 know 23 organization . 24 opportunities 25 legislators , media , and grantees on behalf of the how to best We to serve will as ambassadors give represent the and for the Commi s sioners interact NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTI NG (313) 963-5410 with �47 Commission. So, we wanted the Commissioners to get 2 to know what's going on in your local areas and how 3 that interacts with what you do on a regular basis. 4 You'll have opportunities to sponsor 5 our activities 6 financial 7 going to be a critical part in making this happen. 8 So you will all have the opportunity to do that. 9 And, of whether contribution, course, a it be in because we presentation kind or think would with that's not be 10 complete without a big thank you to the Committee 11 who really helped make this happen for us. Pat 12 0' Day the 13 Marketing and PR Committee. 14 an active member of the Committee and Terry Pruitt 15 really helped kind of make this all happen. is the Chair.

NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 Yes. �50 MR .

That's going to be a 16 target. 17 going to be a constant moving target. 18 what ' s 19 different things . 20 one constant is going to be legislatively .

MAWBY: The name of the committee 4 has been outreach and communications, but it's had 5 the legislative orientation always, Terry, I think. 6 (low talking) My suggestion is that it might even 7 8 be in the title. MR. WESAW: I'd li ke to-- one caution 9 10 on that though is whe1ther II legislative outreach (all talking). 12 structure 13 legislature, 14 careful about the way -- activities but I that we are want to call I think we can directed think we have to be a at the little 15 UNKNOWN: I wouldn't argue that. 16 MR.

MR. 12 CALDWELL : Well , Okay . somewhat 13 but absolutely true, 14 always do , take this opportunity to note that in my 15 absence , which I am constantly, the staff has done 16 a great job of running the organization and I ' ll 17 explain my absence 18 later . 19 quickly review some of the reports that was mailed 20 to you (coughing) and talk about some of the stuff 21 going on in - house , then go to the recommendations 22 the staff has made in our grant making area. 23 Talk to you about the budget . What I'd I have not. Executive I want to , as I from the office a like to do first , little bit however, is And , 24 then lastly , talk to you about some of the outreach 25 activities that we ' ve been engaged in . NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 As I noted , �61 for me it was also a bizarre to go through the last - 2 fall knowing the events of September 11th 3 a 4 Commission has done, 5 increased interest in some of the work that we 've 6 been doing, because peopl~ 7 Commission and 8 citizens. 9 reason, rippling effect can do And, everything I've have that but have noticed a the general understand now what the what it gotten, can for do for some our strange three radio appearances that I've done in ~eeks, 10 the last three or four II been scrambling trying to find an organization that 12 can talk about how you channel people's passions 13 around September 11th. 14 we've got a State Commission on Volunteer Group. 15 It makes sense to talk to that organization. And, because people have they found out, oh , 16 So, it's been an interesting time to 17 be able to talk about service and volunteerism and 18 not have it be just an added thing that people do, 19 but really is 20 said 21 logistical 22 everyone else has in state government, gone through 23 a budget crunch. 24 few months in our state revenue. As you 'll note on 25 the that, second people's lives right now. I just matters. page want to First, talk that Having about we have, some as We took two major hits this last of my report, the NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 volunteer �62 investment grants were reduced by $142 , 700.00 or 2 roughly 14 % from the original appropriation . And, 3 the tobacco settlement funds 4 th a t we distribute out to the Council of Michigan 5 Foundation 6 community foundations or youth and senior health 7 programming was redu ced by 8 a g e neral cut in those two revenues . 9 not receive a cut in our admin at this time . which then gets distributed 33 %. out to And , so , there ' s I shol..fld say 2001 , we did These 10 are four FY2000 , II oh , 12 happen i s that the next budget that the people , the 13 congress , 14 be divining in the next few months is going to also 15 be greatly reduced. no 2002 numbers. What we I ' m sorry know is going to the legislature , excuse me , is going to So that we 16 know that these numbers 17 are just kind of the precursor of what ' s to come . 18 I don ' t 19 note that we will really need to emphasize our work 20 on February 12th and before that and beyond that to 21 ensure that people understand that a cut to this 22 organization really does cut the leveraging power 23 that 24 power we have to bring federal 25 state , say that to panic anyone , we have and for the volunteer s leveraging and I do say it to the leveraging dollars power we NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTI NG (313) 963-5410 into the have about �63 creating community problem solving mechanisms in 2 our community. So, 3 it's going to be increasingly 4 important to get out and On the federal stage 5 it looks a little different. There seems to be a 6 renewed interest in the work of the Corporation for 7 National Service and State Service Commission. 8 President is taking an interest. 9 from Arizona and Senator Buy The Senator McCain from Indiana 10 taken an interest in II mentioned to you in this report and in my e-mail 12 that the McCain and Buy had gotten together to put 13 together a bill, 14 the bill. 15 things 16 that 17 authorizing the corporation for national services. on they service. have na~ional And, I had but were not going to introduce It was just going to be one of those the table talk during about when all conference they things talk change commit tee about in re- 18 Well, the 19 federal government. 20 bill was, in fact, introduced. 21 what the strategy is, 22 and I'll get to this later in my report -- but, 23 talking to folks in D.C. 24 we're going to have is the normal split. 25 going to be a bill from the President about re- I found out yesterday that the We're not clear on but in talking to folks it seems as though what NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 There's �64 authorizing of the corporation. There's going to 2 be a bill by the Democrats on re-authorization and 3 there's going to be a bill by the independents. McCain 4 and Buy carne to represent. 5 So, all things are now, 6 said to say, 7 So, we can expect a cat fight over the next three 8 or four months on this. 9 wanted to I'm happy to say and also back to normal in Washington, talk to you D.C. The other piece that I real quickly about was, 10 before I get into the rtaff recommendations, 11 just kind of think about all of the change that's 12 going on that our Chair has pointed out 13 budgets. 14 remind everyone that we need to kind of keep the 15 budget in mind for a few key issues. So, as we look at page 3, I was in the want to 16 Number one, we in the past have had a 17 strategy of having a good mix of state as well as 18 federal 19 necessarily 20 possible. 21 least in the short term, because that, as you know, 22 state revenues across the country are down. 23 will later impact the federal scene. 24 now, we're going to be guaranteed that the federal 25 scene -- the state revenue, and, equal, but trying to as close get to those not equal as That strategy will need to change, But, at That right scene is going to be one of NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �65 reduced budget. Secondly, 2 as national legislation 3 calls for expansion of Americore, expansion of the 4 grant making, 5 the adrnin that it would take to support that grant 6 making. 7 mandate to double or triple our Americore portfolio 8 but it may not come with resources that would be 9 required to oversee those plans. there is not call for expansion of So, there may very well be a call and a As I'll get to 10 later when we talk II conscientious 12 expand our programming based on the capacity and 13 the resources that we have. 14 goes down we will not be able to take on large sums 15 of federal funds in these programs. 16 be conscious and deliberate about that. abou~ about audit, we need to be very deciding whether or not to As the state admin So, we need to 17 We also need to take steps to show 18 the value of our grant making and the leveraging 19 power. 20 in 21 information that says, here's what our grant making 22 does 23 draws in. 24 of federal dollars. 25 at least two to three federal dollars for every one And, staff are going to do a lot more work the area in the of providing community, but you all here's and others also what it For every state dollar we draw X number And, right now we clearly draw NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �66 state dollar spent. It also talks 2 about the leveraging 3 power that we've always used with regard to our 4 volunteers. For every one volunteer that we fund to 5 Americore 6 That's a huge 7 to ten. 8 kind of keep hammering on, 9 people. another 25 in Michigan generate. The national average is one So, that's one of the piece that we just keep out in front of That tidbit of information, by the way, is 10 in your Commissioner 11 emphasize that in the one piece that Commissioner 12 Swain had asked for. 15 I' 11 be sure to Just a few reminder dates. 13 14 but 1 typo in this, and I do apologize. We ha v e a The Volunteer Conference on the 2 gth and 30 th , we've alread y 16 talked about that and chosen the dates. 17 Governor Service Award, therefore, are the 29th 18 representatives here. 19 MR. MAWBY: And they're al l 2002. 20 MR. The CALDWELL: And they're all 2002, 21 that's right. As well as February 12, 2002, we've 22 talked is 23 quickly, I want to talk a little bit about the work 24 that I've done on the national scene. 25 days with Corporat i ons and National Services staff, about our tenth anniversary. NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 Ver y I spent two �67 including their new CEO, Les kowski. He had a 2 very different view on the way the Corporation, the 3 federal £under ought to operate. 4 piece that he put out very quickly 5 you to note the language I'm using. 6 familiar to you. And, the first and I want It will sound "The Federal Corporation for National 7 8 Service thinks that it 9 philosophically in that should it operate should be more more of a 10 grant making organizatiop than this direct hands-on II service organization that they have been. 12 should 13 letting 14 rather than solutions 15 beltway down to communities." get more into community providing solutions They resources bubble to corning from the the D.C. and top area 16 Well, if you remember, 17 half ago you told us that what you wanted to see 18 was the Commission be entrepreneurial, 19 it to be more of a grant making organization and 20 you 21 communities 22 good news 23 become 24 really the funnel for resources and ideas from 25 the this wanted us so that is, more to I you wanted resources it bubbles up to the So, the think that the Corporation will like community provide a year and a commissions level and less where about NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 we are very �68 restricted 2 red-tape organization with a lot of bureaucracy. It 3 kowski, 4 is, though, like I told Les it's kind of like when my brother says 5 he's going to visit. I believe it when he's at the 6 door. 7 in 8 institutionalizes the changes that really need to 9 be there, I think we have to kind of be patient and I don't believe it when the postcard comes the mail. So, until the Corporation actual 10 stand back and be caut)-ous. II news, though, is that, as Meg Smith had pointed out 12 earlier, 13 conscientious 14 Corporation programs together to let them see each 15 other, 16 collaborate. there work 17 really effort The other important needs taken to to ways be bring that a real all the together, find they can Mary from the state office has 18 been very good about working with us to let us know 19 what Vista are doing, what senior core members are 20 doing, and we've been trying to do the same thing. 21 So, 22 getting the federal organization to recognize that 23 as well. 24 We have some very good visits. 25 visits. it's been working at the state.

PRUITT: One of the things that I NEW CENTURY COURT REPORTING (313) 963-5410 �71 asked Kyle to look into in preparation for February is to put sort of a one page or a talking 2 12th 3 points 4 Some of these issues that he's discussing with us 5 today I think it's critically important that we all 6 have some understanding of how to say it and what 7 points we really need to be making with some of the 8 key stake holders. 9 hands on that and each of the Commissioners could 10 make themselves sort of 1 understanding the language II and verbiage that would be there, 12 basic 13 programming as 14 Commission. We should have those talking points in 15 our own heads so that as we interface with those 16 legislatures 17 points that need to be made. piece together around for us Commissioners.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORDANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Pat O'Day, Chair, MCSC Marketing and Public Relations Committee RE: Marketing and Public Relations Update DATE: December 6, 2001 The Marketing and Public Relations Committee met via conference call on Wednesday, December 5, 2001. In attendance at the meeting were Commissioners Pruitt, Pickard, and O'Day; staff members Kyle Caldwell and Mary Grill; and Rx Coaching representatives Sandra Xenakis and Nancy Ray. Marketing Plan Development Work with Rx Coaching to develop the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Marketing Plan began on November 7, 2001 and will continue until February 7, 2002. At that time, the MCSC will have a draft of the Marketing Plan and will determine whether to continue contracting with Rx Coaching to fine tune and assist with the implementation of the plan. Mary Grill meets weekly with two coaches-Sandra Xenakis is a marketing expert and Nancy Ray is a strategic planning specialist. Together Sandra and Nancy are working to ensure that the MCSC Marketing Plan is effective and in line with the MCSC vision, mission, and organizational priorities. The first step in developing the marketing plan was creating a work statement from the current mission statement to more accurately articulate the work ofthe MCSC. This statement will be utilized to ensure that the MCSC marketing plan stays on track. This statement is not shared with the general public to describe the MCSC, rather it is used internally by the MCSC to ensure that all activities, including the marketing plan, are on track with the organization 's stated purpose. The final draft of the MCSC work statement is: �The miss ion of the MCSC is to increase the capacity of Michigan 's volunteer sector by conducting research and evaluation, sharing information, acknowledging success and effectiven ess, securing funds , granting funds , cultivating potential applicants, selecting high-quality grantees, training grantees, and overseeing and monitoring grantee results for volunteer-focused organizations, agencies, and strategic alliances so that Michigan citizens engage in service and volunteerism to meet community needs. The second step was defining organizational priorities. These priorities will be used to define the objectives of the marketing plan. The following organizational priorities have been identified: 1) Secure needed funding in order to grant funds and operate the MCSC. 2) Support, train, and engage staff, commissioners and other MCSC champions so that they may carry out the work of the MCSC. 3) Support (fund) innovative volunteer programs that meet local needs. 4) Share the results of research and program evaluations with target markets. 5) Promote service and volunteerism by recognizing and celebrating exemplary volunteers and volunteer programs. The future development of the marketing plan will include: • Development of objectives. • Determining the target markets (audiences). • Developing a plan of action. • Developing a budget and timeline. Other items that were discussed in relationship to the marketing plan were: • The importance of incorporating the objectives of the marketing plan into the MCSC annual organizational performance review. • Looking at how the MCSC membership aligns with the objectives of the organization and marketing plan. • Looking at how the MCSC grantmaking and recognition events align with the goals of the marketing plan. • Looking at the organizational structure of the MCSC and determining whether it fits with the organization' s direction and the goals of the marketing plan. • The importance of committing the needed resources to the implementation of the marketing plan. • Acknowledging that future budget issues may require creative implementation of the marketing plan (e.g. sponsorships, in-kind contributions, etc.) • Leveraging Michigan 's national reputation in the implementation of the marketing plan. 10th Anniversart Celebration The MCSC's lOt Anniversary Celebration has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 12, 2002. The event will follow the same format as originally determined and will provide an 2 �opportunity for the MCSC to thank Michigan ' s legislators for past support and encourage their ongoing support.

Attend the lOth Anniversary Celebration from 11 a.m.-1 :00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 12, 2002. Commissioners are welcome to participate throughout the day, but the 11 :00 a.m.-1 :00 p.m. timeframe is critical. 2. Call your legislators and invite them to the event. 3. Be prepared to discuss the MCSC and the programs in your geographic district with your legislators at the event. (The MCSC staff is updating the Program Guide to assist you with this process. See below.) MCSC Program Guide The Committee discussed the MCSC Program Guide that was sent to all commissioners shortly after the September 1Oth - 11 th Commission Retreat. The Program Guide was designed to provide the latest information on programs funded by the MCSC so that commissioners will have the information they need to serve as an ambassador for the MCSC. The Committee recommended that the revision of the Program Guide include: 1) Brief talking points about the MCSC programs, and 2) Tips and methods for utilizing the information in the Program Guide. The revised Program Guide will be distributed to commissioners by January 15, 2002. Governor's Service Awards The 91h Annual Governor's Service Awards (GSA) reception and dinner are being held on Monday, April 29, 2002 at the Lansing Center in Lansing. Nomination forms (attached) are currently available at the MCSC and are being distributed to MCSC grantees, nonprofit organizations, and others across the state involved with volunteerism. The nomination forms are also available on line at www.state.mi .us/career/mcsc. The completed nomination forms are due 3 �to the MCSC by Thursday, February 8, 2002. All commissioners are invited to serve as peer reviewers to select the five finalists and winner in each ofthe 14 categories. This is an excellent opportunity for commissioners to learn about the exemplary volunteers we support. The peer review will take place on March 8, 2002 at the MCSC. SBC/ Ameritech has indicated their intention to sponsor the Governor's Service Awards again this year. Additional sponsors are also being sought to support this event. We will be using the expertise ofRx Coaching to ensure that the Governor' s Service Awards meet the ongoing mission of the MCSC and that specific GSA objectives are incorporated into the marketing plan. MCSC Web Site The State of Michigan has developed a new web site program, £-Michigan, that provides mandatory guidelines for web site development for all state agencies. The first meeting of the MCSC and £-Michigan will take place on December 10, 2001. Following this meeting the MCSC will have a better idea ofthe process of migrating its current site into the new format. Meanwhile a staff work group is continuing to discuss the re-vamping of the current site to ensure that the new site meets all of our internal/external needs. The MCSC staff is working on activating the web address www.mcsc.org for the MCSC. It is anticipated that the new web address will be operational in early 2002. Committee Recommendation The Committee discussed the ongoing role of both the Marketing and Public Relations Committee and the Legislative Committee. These two committees are ad hoc committees of the MCSC Outreach and Communications Committee. It was determined that the two committees' separate work has been completed. Therefore, it is recommended that the two ad hoc committees be merged back into the Outreach and Communications Committee and be cochaired by Commissioner Pruitt and Commissioner O'Day. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
