DE.VMSW AKC:HEB MAYOR _ CITY OF DETROIT ,£U.O;TIVK OFFICE rr _, ,>, OnrrioiT. MICHIGAN Dennis W. Archer Biography Dennis Archer's vision for Detroit's journey to greatness is anchored in a deep understanding of the diligence and hard work necessary to overcome adversity. His own personal journey is the story of overcoming the obstacles of poverty and discrimination while also working tenaciously to help others. Archer was born on Detroit's east side and moved at age five to the rural town of Cassopolis, Michigan. Few opportunities for work were available to his father because he was partially disabled by an earlier accident which caused the loss of one of his arms. In spite of this, however, he managed to support his family as caretaker of a summer home. Beginning at age eight, Archer helped out by working at a variety of jobs, Including golf caddy, pin-setter at a bowling alley, and floor sweeper at a bakery. College would have been out of the question if he had not supported himself by working as a housepainter, as a laborer at a furniture factory, as a stock boy In a drug store, as a medical records clerk and as a dishwasher in dormitory kitchens before graduating from Western Michigan University. After graduating, Archer taught children with learning disabilities in Detroit Public Schools for five years. While teaching, he earned a law degree by attending night school at the Detroit College of Law. He began practicing law in 1970 with the firms of Gragg & Gardner and then Hall, Stone, Allen, Archer & Glenn, in 1973, he joined the Detroit firm now known as Charfoos and Christensen. In 1985, after 15 years as a trial lawyer, Governor James J. Blanchard appointed Archer to the Michigan Supreme Court. The following year he was elected to an eight-year term by the people of the State of Michigan. He was the first AfricanAmerican to sit on that Court in nearly 20 years and only the second in Michigan history. At the time of his appointment, Justice Dennis Archer was one of the nation's most respected attorneys because of his highly successful trial work and his presidencies of the National Bar Association, the State Bar of Michigan and the Wolverine Bar Association. In 1984, Dennis Archer was named one of the most 100 Most Influential Black Americans by Ebonv Magazine. In 1985, he was named one of the 100 Most Powerful Attorneys in the United States and in his final year was voted one of the 100 Most Influential Lawyers by the National Law Journal. �05 10 '9-1 14:10 ©13132244128 MAYORS OFFICE Page 2 Justice Archer worked vigorously to discourage drug use by young people by organizing the M E.L.L. (Medical, Education, Legal, and Law Enforcement) Team Against Drugs. More than 55,000 Detroit Public School students have participated in this program. In addition to his work with youth, he spearheaded a drive to encourage the employment of minority lawyers in corporations throughout the U.S. Resigning from the Michigan Supreme Court in late 1990, Archer joined the law firm of Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman as a partner, and has since worked with hundreds of Detroit citizens and dozens of community organizations to search for solutions for Detroit. As mayor, Archer wants to lead a community-wide campaign for Detroit's future. Dennis and Trudy DunCombe Archer have been married since 1967 They have two sons currently attending the University of Michigan, Dennis, Jr., a law student, and Vincent, an undergraduate. 2)003 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At that transitional meeting in January of 1993, the Board set a new direction for MNF, agreeing on the need to make changes in MNF's programs, priorities and Board structure. Here is a report on our progress: Membership: In January of 1993, MNF membership was less than 100 nonprofit organizations. Today, after the restructuring of the membership dues structure, the number exceeds 200. New members have come to MNF through our newsletter and programs. There has not been a membership drive since the retreat; we plan to develop new, more tangible programs and services before undertaking a new membership campaign. The Membership Committee has met and established goals of 100 new members and $30,000 of dues income before June 30, 1995. The Committee has also begun to discuss the development of a year-round recruiting strategy that will begin on July 1, 1994. Services: In the creation of new programs and services, MNF has played the role of a collaborator, careful not to duplicate existing services in the sector. Many of the programs and services we have undertaken, or that are in development, are the result of partnerships with other organizations. Without question, it has been a year of creating and renewing relationships with other organizations important to Michigan's nonprofit sector. A full outline of services appears later in this report. Funding: The Board approved a five-year funding plan at the May 1993 meeting that moved MNF away from dependency on grants. While the affiliation with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan will alter the plan slightly, it appears that the first year of the plan will be completed close to the budgeted levels of funding. Organization: At the May 1993 Board meeting, the Board approved the restructuring plan recommended by the Board Restructuring Committee. The Bylaws Committee is currently rewriting the bylaws to adhere to the Board-approved plan. The Bylaws Committee will recommend appropriate changes to the Board in May of 1994. The Nominating Committee has also worked to comply with the approved plan. The Committee has recommended 18 At-Large members for MNF Trusteeship to the voting members. These new members will be confirmed at the May 11, 1994, Board Meeting. �Mission Statement/Principles: In May of 1993, the Board approved replacing the guiding principles with five purpose statements. These statements are outlined in the next section of this report. The Board must still review the mission statement. Major Priorities: After reviewing the above information regarding Board restructuring and the following information on activities, I think you will agree that MNF has made considerable progress in meeting the top priorities identified at the retreat. Below, categorized as they relate to the five purpose statements, is an outline of MNF's activities and programs since January 12, 1993: (1) To act as a convener, bringing together nonprofit leaders, as well as the leadership of the government and the private sectors, to increase understanding of the nonprofit sector, confront common issues and concerns, and promote collaboration. • March 19, 1993 - cosponsored "Nonprofits and the Michigan Political Landscape in Michigan" seminar with CMF. The conference featured Paul Hillegonds, Co-Speaker of the House; John Cherry Jr., Senate Minority Leader; Geneva Williams, United Community Services; and Mariam Noland, Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan. Approximately 100 were in attendance. • May 14, 1993 - Grantmakers/Grantseekers V. Approximately 700 were in attendance. • November 19, 1993 - MNF cosponsored "Grantseeking from the Grantmaker's Perspective" with the CMF and Detroit are grantmakers. This unique conference brought 125 nonprofit grantseekers in for a day of interaction and counsel with Michigan foundations. • November 29-30, 1993 - cosponsored the "Transforming Public Service" conference with the Institute of Public Policy and Social Research and Michigan State University. This two-day conference focused on: the expanding role of the nonprofit sector and its future in implementing public policy; the emerging trends in volunteerism and public responsibility; the factors contributing to nonprofit success or failure in implementing government programs; the challenge for nonprofits to maintain a positive image; the plans for President Clinton's national service program; and the challenges and opportunities nonprofits face as they prepare to utilize national service volunteers. Over 100 attended the conference that featured a keynote address by Frances Hesselbein, president and chief executive officer of the Peter F. Drucker Foundation. �• December 1, 1993 - participated in and cosponsored "Shaping the Future: The Role of Nonprofit Organizations in Southeast Michigan." The conference utilized Edward Barlow, "one of America's leading futurist and planners." Attendance topped 150 nonprofit leaders from the Detroit area. A follow-up group has been formed to continue the collaborative and visionary talks that emerged from this one-day event. • December 7, 1993 - MNF hosted "Nonprofit Accountability: Improprieties, Myths, and Misunderstandings." The two-hour summit drew more than 100 nonprofit leaders from around the state. A panel made-up of representatives from the nonprofit, business and government sectors had an engaging dialogue on the issues of mismanagement that have been raised in the media since the United Way scandal. A statewide task group is forming to continue this dialogue and propose action for individual nonprofits and the government regulating bodies in Michigan. • March 16, 1994 - cosponsored "Michigan Nonprofit Career Day", a program for college students interested in a career in the nonprofit sector, with Campus Compact and the MSU Service Learning Center. CONFIRMED FOR 1994: • May 12, 1994 - Grantmakers/Grantseekers VI, "A Vital Alliance For Michigan's Future." • June 10 and 28, 1994 - cosponsoring "Managing a Nonprofit from a Financial Perspective" with the Accounting Aid Society. • September 22, 1994 - cosponsoring a follow-up to the December 1, 1993, Futuring conference, featuring Ed Barlow, with the Accounting Aid Society. • MNF will also continue to be a cosponsor of the Nonprofit Leadership Forum, a series of six annual conferences that focus on relevant nonprofit management issues. • Finally, the recent member survey indicated that nonprofits are looking for greater opportunity to discuss the issues important to the sector in Michigan. We have plans to begin a round table series in the fall of 1994. (2) • To encourage voluntary giving and service, MNF has continued its support of the Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism. In 1993, Dave Egner served on the Campaign Executive Committee and on the Detroit Leadership Coalition. Since the Campaign's beginning, the number of Volunteer Centers has increased from 11 to 24. �On December 17, 1993, The Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) and MNF joined forces in an official affiliation. Angela Bailey has joined the MNF staff as director of Volunteer Programs and Volunteer Centers of Michigan. This exciting merger will result in the institutionalization of the Campaign for Volunteerism and will further strengthen volunteerism in Michigan. In a partnership with the Points of Light Foundation, MNF/VCM began the assessment of existing Volunteer Centers on March 28, 1994. The assessment will be a national model for state and regional organization of Volunteer Centers. The assessment will also result in the development of a strategic plan of growth and service for Volunteer Centers in Michigan. MNF has been appointed as an ex-officio member of the Michigan Community Service Commission. MNF has been a partner with the Commission since its inception two years ago. We have become more active with the Commission, providing support to their programs and serving on the Steering Committee. Finally, the MNF staff promoted voluntary service and giving at 12 speaking engagements reaching more than 1,200 people. (3) To disseminate information important to defining the sector — its scope and values, meeting the management/technical needs of organizations in the sector, and fostering communication and collaboration in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. • Forum Focus, our quarterly newsletter, was distributed to our full mailing list of approximately 13,000 nonprofit organizations. • Our first member mailing reached our members in late February and the feedback has been exceptional. While the newsletter is more "newspaper based," the member mailing takes on more of a "magazine format," giving greater detail and information on important issues in the sector. • In partnership with the Michigan Society of Association Executives, MNF will release a nonprofit sector salary survey for Michigan in June. The publication is being compiled by a professional research firm so that confidentiality and credibility will receive the utmost attention. • We have entered into an agreement with the National Center for Nonprofit Boards to disseminate their publications at a discounted rate to MNF members. We are seeking a similar agreement with Independent Sector and the Foundation Center. �(4) To take an active role in public policy that affects the nonprofit sector at large. • Forum Focus touched on a number of issues important to the sector including: the Lobbying Disclosure Act, changes in postal rates, the effect of the Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 on nonprofits, and the potential impact of health care reform on nonprofits. • On September 27, 1993, Dave Egner participated in a meeting with Lucille Taylor, Legal Counsel to Governor Engler, representatives of the state police, and representatives of the National Fire Safety Council (NFSC). The meeting was to discuss the Michigan Fire Marshal's plans to incorporate a nonprofit organization that would duplicate the efforts of the NFSC. The new organization would have been controlled by the state police, who also would have acted as the primary fund raisers. Testimony to the House Appropriations Committee followed in November. As a result of the meetings and testimony, the state police abandoned their effort in January and agreed to work collaboratively with existing fire safety service providers. • Under the leadership of the Public Policy Committee, MNF tracked a number of bills including the change in the Volunteer Immunity Bill, proposed changes in sales tax exemptions, the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, and the discussions of increased regulatory actions for nonprofits. • MNF, United Way of Michigan, League for Human Services, and the Michigan Community Action Agencies Association worked with a Lansing consultant in rewriting proposed legislation concerning exemption of sales and use tax. The legislation will do away with the need for nonprofits to register for sales tax exemption; instead, using their IRS tax status as verification of their exemption. • On March 16, Angela Bailey testified before the House State Affairs Committee on the Volunteer Drivers Bill. The bill would waive for nonprofits the $6 fee required for checking the driving records of volunteers. Angela's testimony was instrumental in moving the bill on the House floor for passage. • While discussions have been tabled due to the school finance issue, MNF also completed work on a paper outlining the benefits and concerns of an across the sector tax incentive for Michigan taxpayers. Discussion on the use of the paper will resume in early spring. • MNF is developing a legislative education program for use with legislators and their staff. The program will inform lawmakers of the sector's scope, importance to the future of the state and bring to their attention crucial issues facing the relationship of government and nonprofits. The program will kickoff this fall. �(5) To provide programs and services that enhance the sector by strengthening organizational capacities. • In the fall of 1993, MNF conducted a member survey to determine programs and services that are of value to our members. The survey results, which were released in the February member mailing, suggested that MNF can best meet member needs by providing them with greater opportunities to interact and discuss mutual issues of concern, and by providing tangible savings and services. • This summer, MNF will make available a sector-wide retirement program. Working with Fidelity Mutual, we have created a pension vehicle that combines a 401 (A) employer contribution program with a 403 (B) employee annuity program. The program is portable throughout the sector; therefore, individuals changing careers within the sector can take their pension with them at no cost. The program is also beneficial when compared to a simple annuity program, the program of choice for many small nonprofits. The new program prevents the employer's contribution from affecting the employee's ability to contribute. • Working with Technology Communication Network, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit, MNF has begun the development of an E-mail-based, sector-wide computer network. The network will utilize E-mail for the majority of the subscribers, since the biggest downfall of other systems has been the lack of sign-on. Automated fax capability will allow us to inform those nonprofits that do not subscribe to the system. • Much of Donna Clark's time in 1994 will be devoted to developing additional member services, discounts, and tangible products. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The revised budget represents MNFs anticipated revenue and expenditures at year end. �Michigan Nonprofit Forum 1993-94 Budget Revisions Narrative Revenues General Contributions - $30,000 This represents the pledge of unanticipated contributions; most notably a $25,000 gift from Ford Motor Company. Grants and Contracts - $353,000 The affiliation with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan has led to an additional grant from the Kellogg Foundation of $150,000 for the staffing of the affiliation and an assessment of volunteer centers. Member Dues - $30,000 The postponement of the membership campaign has caused us to alter our financial plans for member dues. This change has also been reflected in the redevelopment of the five year funding plan. Miscellaneous - $20,350 This revenue represents funds that were designated for the Volunteer Centers of Michigan that transferred to MNF as a result of the affiliation. Expenditures Salaries-$154,306 This represents the addition of a director of volunteer services for one-half year. It also represents savings on intern salaries due to James Madison College funded intern. Benefits - $42,680 Increases in this category represent the above mentioned salary increases. Additionally, medical insurance increases were higher than anticipated in the original budgeting process. Contracted Services - $23,190 The favorable variance in this line item is due to a change in the publication pattern of the newsletter. The newsletter is now being sent to our entire mailing list of over 12,000 nonprofits only two times annually, instead of four times. �Office Operations - $54,250 The Kellogg Center has not billed us for our telephone or copying costs for 18 months. The projected bill is approximately $6,400 — $2,000 of which has been attributed to copying and $4,400 has been attributed to telephone and the fax. Because we are accounting on a cash basis, the favorable variance received last year in these two line items is not recognized here. Additional favorable variances are recognized in printing/publishing, due to the change in the publication plan; subscriptions and publications, postage and shipping, and furniture and equipment. Liability Insurance - $2,300 The increases in these two areas were higher than the original budget anticipated. Meetings - $44,500 The increases here represent a larger than usual crowd at Grantmakers/Grantseekers VI. Travel - $10,000 There has been some transferring of expenses between line items in this category; however, it will come in as budgeted. Volunteer Program Expenditure - $23,000 This is the anticipated cost of the assessment of the existing and newly emerging volunteer centers. Banks/Investment Fees - $600 The omission of bank fees on the 93-94 budget was in error, this additional line item shows those expenditures. �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 1993-94 BUDGET REVISIONS 1993-94 Approved Budget 1993-94 Revised Budget 20,000 2,000 200,000 50,000 50,000 2,000 0 30,000 2,000 353,000 50,000 30,000 2,000 20,350 10,000 324,000 487,350 163,350 144,500 36,194 25,000 62,400 2,000 42,000 10,000 0 154,306 42,680 23,190 54,850 2,300 44,500 10,000 23,000 9,806 6,486 (1,810) (7,550) 300 2,500 0 23,000 322,094 354,826 32,732 1,906 132,524 130,618 50,162 52,068 50,162 182,686 Variance REVENUES General Contributions Interest & Dividends Grants and Contracts Program Income Membership Dues Publications Miscellaneous TOTAL REVENUES EXPENSES Total Salaries Total Benefits Total Contracted Services Total Office Operations Total Liability Insurance Total Meetings Total Travel VCM Program Expenditures TOTAL EXPENDITURES REV.

Welcome and Introductions Russell Mawby 2.) History of MNF Russell Mawby 3.) Review of MNF Mission and Purpose Statements Helen Philpott 4.) Introduction of MNF Staff David Egner 5.) Trustee Responsibilities Board Meetings (See List) Helen Philpott Committee Service (See List) Advocate of MNF's Broad Mission - While each Trustee brings a particular interest or discipline from within the nonprofit sector, MNF Trustees must be supporters of the advancement of the sector as a -whole. Governance and Planning - By this we mean the things that many of you know as the role of any Board: the setting of organizational direction, strategic planning, resource management, and assuring proper resources are available to carry out the organizational mission and purpose. Fund Raising and Giving - Board fund raising is limited. You may be asked to assist with funding from a Foundation, an individual, or a corporation, but that is rare. However, we encourage your organization to support MNF through membership and encourage you to support MNF through person contributions. 6.) Membership Recruitment Anne Rosewarne 8.)

After discussion, the committee approved the recommendations for consideration by the full Board at the November 11 meeting. 5. Campaign for Voluntarism Report: G. Romney reported on the continued success of Michigan's Campaign for Volunteerism. As a direct result of the Campaign the number of Voluntary Actions Centers in Michigan has grown from 13 to 23, and the number of developing centers continues to grow. �G. Romney also discussed the concept of a merger between the Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. The merger would provide a sustained infrastructure for the Campaign and would enhance the ability of both organizations to address their missions of promoting and strengthening voluntarism in Michigan.

A full report of the merger discussions will be made at the November 11 meeting. 6. Program Report: D. Egner updated the committee on several program issues.

D. Egner noted that MNF is beginning work on its second Public Policy Summit which will be held in late fall. The Summit will focus on the issues raised in The Philadelphia Inquirer and other publications. A panel of 12 individuals from the government, private and nonprofit sectors will be engaged at the Summit. D. Egner also reviewed the work of the Retirement Committee to date. The committee is composed of Gerard Keidel, MASA; Judith Rapanos, MCACA; Matt York, UWM; and Greg Zerlott, Muskegon Community Foundation.

Rapanos Staff Present: David O. Egner 1. Welcome and Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chairman Keidel at 10:45 a.m. 2. Review of Objectives: Chairman Keidel first reviewed the four objectives of the Committee (see attached). These objectives will serve as guidelines for the Committee as they examine the possibilities of creating a MNF sponsored retirement program for nonprofits in Michigan. There was discussion about the need to supply alternatives to as many nonprofit organizations as possible. With this in mind, and because a number of nonprofit entities are not eligible for such retirement programs as 403(b)'s, the Committee concluded that MNF should explore the possibility of providing a number of investment options. 3. Discussion of Future Plans for Committee: Chairman Keidel has agreed to secure an attorney specializing in the establishment of retirement programs to advise the Committee on its options and the optimum program to meet its objectives. Three possible meeting dates in the month of August have been set for a second committee meeting with the attorney. Those dates are: August 10, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. August 24, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. August 25, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 4.

He has visited a number of communities to date in an effort to assemble the leadership coalition necessary to make Volunteerism a higher priority in each community. 12-15 additional meetings are planned for late Summer and early Fall. Governor Romney also reported on the progress of the Detroit campaign which will kickoff the morning of April 19. 6. Proposed By-Laws Change (Attachment A): D. Egner reported that a bylaws change was needed to support the Board's decision at the retreat to move MNF in a more proactive direction in regards to public policy that has potential impact on the nonprofit sector. Approval of this proposed change at this time would not permit the executive committee to authorize the staff to take a definitive position on behalf of MNF. It would, however, permit the executive committee to authorize the staff to become involved, from an information standpoint, in major public policy issues that may come before the Michigan Legislature prior to the May 13, 1993, full board meeting. After discussion and minor editorial changes, the committee approved a motion by D. Johnson and seconded by H. Yamanishi to recommend the by-laws change for immediate written board approval. 7. Proposed Personnel Policy Changes (Attachment B): D. Egner reviewed format and language changes to MNF's personnel polices which were needed for clarity. He also noted that in order to comply with state and federal regulations, MNF should move from an optional, salary based benefits plan to a fixed benefits plan. After discussion, the committee approved the necessary medical/dental insurance adjustments. The committee agreed to postpone discussion on the remaining personnel items until after the MNF Executive Director position was filled, to allow for appropriate input by the executive. �8. Proposed Board Structure as Approved by Ad-Hoc Committee (Attachment C): D. Johnson summarized the recommendations from the ad-hoc structure committee which were unanimously approved by the membership committee earlier today. She noted that MNF members will elect the trustees through written ballots using nominating committee recommendations. During discussion, committee members noted that MNF is currently in a transitional phase as it continues to grow as a membership organization under the direction of a new executive. Realizing this, the committee stressed the importance of viewing the board structure proposal as a flexible system which may need modification as MNF matures. After discussion, the committee unanimously approved a motion to recommend this Board/Committee Structure to the full board approval. 9. Proposed Membership Dues Structure (Attachment D): D. Johnson reviewed the two proposed dues structures noting that Plan A was budget based; while Plan B was network organization based. She reported that earlier today the membership committee unanimously approved Plan A based on the fact that it was not only more fiscally sound and easier to implement, but it was also the model most other state-wide nonprofit associations followed. After discussion, the committee unanimously approved a motion to adopt the Plan A dues structure. 10. Finances (Attachments F, H, & I): The committee reviewed the finances to date and a revised 1992-93 budget presented by Treasurer, Ivory. Both were approved unanimously. The committee then reviewed the long range funding plan. Discussion pursued concerning the need for this plan to remain flexible and the projects of a deficit budget in the 1993-94 year. The committee approved the plan as presented. 11. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Herbert Yamanishi, Secretary ref:exe30226.min,cm/exec,0100 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After introductions, co-chairman Robert Ivory reviewed the progress of this committee to date. The Committee has retained the Public Affairs Associates, Inc., of Lansing. The group has an extensive background in dealing with tax issues and the legislature, as well as experience working with the nonprofit sector. The Council of Michigan Foundations and the United Way of Michigan have both contributed $5,000 toward the $30,000 consulting fee of the Public Affairs Associates, Inc.

The Public Affairs Associates, Inc. is working jointly with Gary Wolfram, Economics Professor at Hillsdale College and former Deputy Treasurer of Michigan. Wolfram has drafted a document that details the economic and social effect of tax incentives for the entire Michigan nonprofit sector. Wolfram's paper was then reviewed extensively by the committee. After discussion, it was concluded that the paper needed to be redrafted to take into account a variety of suggestions from the committee. The group then agreed upon the following next steps of action: �1. October 31 A revised draft of the paper will be completed and distributed to the Task Group. 2. November 16, 3:30-5:30 Task Group Meeting at the Michigan Library & Historical Center, Lake Erie Room, to discuss the redrafts and possible future action by MNF. 3.

December 15, 10:00-Lunch Meeting at the Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek, for the Executive Committee and interested members of the MNF Board to discuss the draft and recommendations of the Task Group. 5. Release of Paper to constituents for reactions. 6. If the Executive Committee and Board deem further action appropriate, Task Force to develop strategy for future action. 7. MNF Leadership to discuss the pro strategy by MNF or inform the MNF Members of planned action by individual organizations.

Minutes of the Executive Committee Meeting September 23, 1992 -- 9:30 to 12:00 W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek, MI Members Present: Guests: N. Charles Anderson Edward 0. Blews, Jr. Robert E. Ivory Dorothy A. Johnson Maryellen J. Lewis Russell G. Maw by Helen C. Philpott George G. Romney Herbert Yamanishi David 0. Egner Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke Carrie A. Weaver 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With the Chair present, the meeting was called to order at 9:45p.m. 2. Review of the Minutes: The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the July 14, 1992 Executive Committee meeting. 3. Report of the Executive Director: M. Lewis reviewed MNF's current activities and products in light of the priorities set by this committee in December of 1991. Technical Assistance: The technical assistance providers network which MNF has been working to implement will hold its first public meeting on November 9. The featured speaker, Connie Julius of the Michigan Community College Association, will focus on the potential use of teleconferencing for reaching the widest possible audience of nonprofits with training and professional development opportunities. M. Lewis also noted that MNF currently produces a composite calendar of nonprofit training and events of sector-side significance and expects the MNF update of the �Nonprofit Resource Directory (an updated and expanded version of the Accounting Aid Society's 1989 directory) to be complete by mid-October. Campaign for Volunteerism: Much of the administration for the Campaign for Volunteerism has been being turned over to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, which now has its first grant and first staff person. Under Governor Romney's leadership and with unanimous board approval, MNF has guided the Campaign through its developmental efforts. There are now 26 communities actively pursuing new strategies to hard-link volunteering to some of their most stubborn and debilitating challenges. Recently, with MNF's help and the help of other collaborators, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan secured the first direct funding of this Campaign. This funding has enabled VCM to become a staffed association for the first time, setting the stage for MNF to appropriately shift the Campaign's administrative responsibilities to their Lansing office (with their preliminary approval). MNF's role will now center on statewide communication, working through networks to reach leaders in large numbers of communities, and coordinating Leadership Summits among local business, government and nonprofit leadership to support the volunteer infrastructure. As agreed by the Campaign Executive Committee (which includes MNF), MNF has been initiating, coordinating and following up a series of strategic consultations between Governor Romney and local leaders (in business, government and the service sector) in 30-35 communities around the state. White Paper: The White Paper process is well underway and promises to be MNF's most significant undertaking so far. Janne Gallagher ofthe Independent Sector drafted a discussion paper for MNF which was reviewed by the White Paper Subcommittee on September 18. A revised draft will be available for review by the Public Policy Committee on October 9 and the full board on October 12. Summits: The tapes of the first Summit are near completion and a "draft" of the short video may be available for viewing at the Annual Meeting. Grantmakers/Grantseekers V: The GG5 Program Committee held its first meeting in August and planning is underway. A subcommittee has also been created to review the full cost of the conference and identify direct funding sources. A full report on the planning efforts was given later by H. Philpott. Membership Campaign: While the Campaign has been a large, new task for MNF, staff have worked to make it manageable. The recruitment ofNetwork Associates is proceeding along positively. A full report on the recruitment efforts was given later by D . Johnson M. Lewis concluded her report by suggesting that the committee consider adopting a measure which would indicate support for Florida's nonprofit community. After discussion, the committee agreed that MNF and its member agencies should contact sister organizations in both Florida and Hawaii as an expression of solidarity. H. Yamanishi will 2 �also collect data for MNF's newsletter indicating how individuals can make contributions to those in need. 4. Report of the Finance Committee: R. Ivory reviewed the Financial Statements for July & August and noted several items: Founding Member contributions are below budget because invoices are not sent out until after the Annual Meeting; interest rates are down due to the economy; other grants are below budget because they are timed to come in later in the year; membership dues are keeping pace, but must be carried over throughout the year; salaries are slightly higher because July had three payroll periods versus two; and office operations are below budget because much of this expense occurs during the last two quarters related to GGS . After discussion, the committee approved the finance report for July & August. A complete first quarter financial report will be available for the Annual Meeting. The committee also reviewed the final GGIV Financial Report. M . Lewis noted that GGIV costs were slightly higher than GGill costs due to the additional mailing expenses incurred to combat the registration shortfall. She also noted that while there was a shortfall between revenues and expenses, grantmakers/grantseekers has always been subsidized by MNF's general fund . This is the first year that the subsidy has been adequately measured due to the sophisticated tracking systems now in place. H. Philpott pointed out that the GGV program committee believes opportunities exist for corporate sponsorship and display fees to offset the conference expenses. The Executive Committee agreed and authorized the GGV Program Committee to proceed with outside funding efforts, with the caveat that sponsors and vendors should be carefully selected to insure that the integrity and mission of the conference are upheld . 5. Report of the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Committee: H. Philpott reported that the GGV program committee held its first meeting on August 26. This talented group is off to an excellent start. At this first meeting the program committee selected the theme identified possible keynote speakers and developed several breakout sessions as follows : 1993 THEME: "Focus on the Future: Creating Caring Communities" Possible Keynote Speakers: John Gardner James Hayes Brian O'Connell Elizabeth Dole Jimmy Carter Ed Barlow Rush Kidder Peter Goldmark Peter McTier John Jacobs Elaine Chao 3 �Possible Session Themes: Futuring/Demographicst Volunteering/Give V Media & the Nonprofit Sector Leadership Issues Real World Collaboration Evaluation & Accountability Public Policy Legislators' Involvement in GGV The committee discussed the possible keynote speakers, and while all agreed that any one of them would be excellent, Jimmy or Rosalyn Carter exemplify the 1993 theme. The committee also focused on the low conference attendance by grantmakers. D . Johnson encouraged the program committee to develop an aggressive approach to grantmakers' attendance. Further, she suggested the program committee consider renaming the conference and using Grantmakers/Grantseekers as a subtitle. This would help to clarify to participants that the main focus of the conference is not on interaction between actual grantmakers per se. The committee also reviewed strategies for involving more direct contact between grantmakers and participants, possibly through small luncheon roundtables. Staff will check on this possibility with the hotel and report to H . Philpott prior to the second meeting of the program committee on October 6. 6. Report of the Membership Committee: D . Johnson reported that the Network Associate Membership Campaign is generating positive results with ten new network members to date: Network Associate Recruited by Association for Child Development Birmingham Area Seniors Coordinating Council Concerned Citizens for the Arts Jewish Federation ofMetro Detroit Local Initiatives Support Corporation Michigan Association ofNon-Public Schools Michigan Association ofProfessional Black Nurses Michigan Economic Education Council Michigan Humanities Council Michigan Primary Care Association M. Lewis J. Lore D . Johnson D . Gad-Harf D . Johnson E. Blews B. McDonald J. King D . Johnson A. Rosewame D. Johnson thanked all of the volunteers for their extra efforts and noted that the followup phone calls they were making were the key to recruitment success. The time frame for concluding the follow-up calls is October 12, with all final contacts to be made by November 1. D . Johnson then reviewed the nominating committee's nominations for MNF's Governing Board. Currently there are openings for four Organizational Members and five Network Members. She pointed out that the committee focused on the representation of health and human services on MNF's board, since they comprise the great majority 4 �of nonprofit organizations. Additionally, statistics from the Independent Sector's Nonprofit Almanac indicate that nonprofit employment is higher in health; followed by education. Accordingly, committee members placed special emphasis on these fields in their nominations: Organizational Members of the Board: Organization MNF Contact Person *Food Bank Council of Michigan Michigan Association of Rehabilitation Facilities Michigan Hospital Association H. Yamanishi (M. Lewis) H. Yamanishi (M. Lewis) A. Rosewarne (*Already an Associate Member) Network Members of the Board: Organization MNF Contact Person American Cancer Society/MI Section *Michigan Humanities Council *Volunteer Centers of Michigan A. Rosewarne D. Johnson M. Lewis (*Already a Network Member) The nominating committee decided not to fill all open slots on the Board now, in order to adequately review those organizations which have yet to join. After discussion, the executive committee approved the nominations for presentation at the Annual Meeting. 7. Executive Session: During executive session, the officers accepted the resignation of Maryellen J. Lewis as Executive Director of MNF. The officers commended Maryellen on her outstanding stewardship of MNF during its critical developmental years. The officers then appointed David 0. Egner as Acting Executive Director effective November 1, 1992. 8. Report of the Joint Program and Public Policy Committees: H. Yamanishi reviewed the White Paper process to date. The White Paper subcommittee met on September 18 to review Janne Gallagher's first White Paper draft. She is now revising the draft to include the subcommittee's thoughts and comments. This second draft will be available for the October 9 Public Policy meeting and the October 12 Annual Meeting. After board review, the draft will be circulated amongst MNF's members and other nonprofit constituencies for 5 �review and input. The subcommittee expects to bring the draft back to the Board at its May 1993 meeting for final review. E . Blews will report on policy issues to the full Board at the Annual Meeting following the October 9 Public Policy meeting. 9. Report of the Tax Credit Subcommittee: R. Ivory and D. Johnson reported on the tax credit subcommittee's work to date. R. Ivory noted that the subcommittee held its first meeting on July 17, 1992. At that time, committee members discussed the changes in Michigan's tax structure which are looming on the horizon. Major readjustments in state revenue are anticipated, which will be reflected in how Michigan funds programs. In order to sustain and advance stable and supportive public policies, nonprofits must understand clearly the impact of tax credits: (1) on state revenues, (2) on private giving, and (3) on overall allocation of dollars to public and private causes. Toward that goal, the Task Force has been convened to guide a study of tax incentives which may be useful to the Michigan Department of Treasury, which is required to submit such a study to the legislature by June 30, 1993. The Task Force engaged Gary Wolfram of Hillsdale College to draft a discussion paper on statistics and rationales supporting various tax credit policies. This draft is now complete and will be reviewed by the Task Force at its October 6 meeting for presentation to the full Public Policy Committee at its meeting on October 9. The draft will then be available for discussion by MNF's Board on October 12. During November and December, following Board review, MNF's members will begin to meet with their constituencies and other members of the nonprofit community to garner their input and participation in this exploration, toward a broader understanding and consensus on final recommendations. The Task Force will then reconvene to develop further strategies for stimulating public awareness and action to begin in January. 10. Report on the Campaign for Voluntarism: G. Romney summarized progress on this initiative, with supporting information provided by M. Lewis. He reaffirmed the importance of this aspect ofMNF's mission and the Forum's unique position to have a lasting impact on the state. The committee expressed their unanimous support and their deep appreciation for his leadership. 11. Review ofthe Draft Agenda for the October 12 Annual Meeting: The committee reviewed the draft agenda for the October 12 meeting, noting that it would also include a presentation by P. Warwick and S. Radtke on the Year of the Volunteer; a presentation by the Tax Credit Subcommittee on the draft discussion paper; and a presentation by Chris Clark on MNF's second year evaluation. Special emphasis was focused on the proposed discussion of priorities and MNF's future, which committee members agreed would be a critical deliberation to prepare for the changes ahead. 6 �12.

MINUTES of the MNF Board of Trustees Meeting October 12, 1992 --9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Holiday Inn South, Lansing, MI Trustees Present: Edward O. Blews, Jr. Joyce A. Brown Gale Colwell Robert E. Ivory Steven L. Johns-Boehme Dorothy A. Johnson Gerard E. Keidel Justin P. King Clyde E. LeTarte Ivan W. Love Lillian G. Mason Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Helen C. Philpott Judith A. Rapanos George W. Romney Anne W. Rosewarne Frances L. Ryan Glenn R. Stevens Kathleen N. Straus Paul R. Williams Herbert Yamanishi Guests Present: David O. Egner Constance P. Julius Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis Amanda Osborne Carrie A. Weaver 1. Welcome and Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chairman Mawby at 9:40 a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Review of the Minutes [Tab 2]: The minutes of the April 23, 1992, meeting were approved as printed and distributed. 3. Executive Director's Report [Tab 3 & 13]: M. Lewis reviewed and highlighted MNF's achievements and accomplishments over the past two years. (A copy of these remarks has been sent under separate cover.) Chairman Mawby then presented M. Lewis with a resolution and gift commemorating and honoring her stewardship of MNF during its founding years. (A copy of the resolution has been sent under separate cover.) 4. Chairman's Report: R. Mawby reported that David O. Egner of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has been named Acting Executive Director of MNF. Although he will not �formally assume this position until November 1, he will immediately begin to work with committee chairs and staff to review MNF's program goals and commitments. He will also assist with the executive search process. 5. Finance Committee Report [Tab 4]: R. Ivory presented MNF's Annual Financial Statement for the period ending June 30, 1992. He reviewed the Budget Notes for FY1991-92 and noted that during MNF's second year of operation programs became more fully operational, the office became fully staffed, and the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar (GGS) was fully integrated into the budget. On balance, the year clarified MNF's actual operating costs. These insights serve as the basis for the PROPOSED 1992-93 Budget. Additionally, R. Ivory noted that toward MNF's goal of achieving a stable cash flow after the Kellogg Grant ends in Year 4 (1993-94), $14,000 were allocated to the reserve in 1990-91. This year's proposed allocation brings the reserve up to $34,819, approximately seven weeks of operation. After review and discussion, the committee unanimously approved the 1991-92 financial statement as presented. R. Ivory then reviewed the Financial Statements for the first quarter of FY1992-93. Under revenues he noted that Founding Member contributions are below budget because invoices are not sent out until after the Annual Meeting. Interest rates are down due to the economy. Other grants are below budget because they are timed to come in later in the year. Under expenses R. Ivory noted that salaries are slightly higher because July had three payroll periods versus two. Office operations are below budget because much of this expense is related to GGS and occurs during the last two quarters. After discussion, the committee approved the first quarter finance report for FY1992-93 While reviewing the development of the FY1993-94 budget, R. Ivory presented the following recommendation: AT ITS OCTOBER 7, 1992, MEETING, THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE CONSIDERED THE AGENDA ITEM OF DEVELOPING THE 1993-94 FINANCIAL PLAN. THE COMMITTEE WAS UNABLE TO FULLY ADDRESS THIS AGENDA ITEM. As PRIORITIES OF MNF SET BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DETERMINE LINE ITEM ALLOCATIONS, THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE TURNS TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR ASSISTANCE IN ACCOMPLISHING ITS TASK. THEREFORE, THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEET IN DECEMBER IN A RETREAT SETTING TO REVIEW THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF MNF AND DETERMINE MNF PRIORITIES FOR 1993-94. THIS MEETING SHOULD ALSO ADDRESS: �1) THE ROLE OF FOUNDING MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF AN EXPANDED INVOLVEMENT OF NEW MEMBERS IN MNF; 2) THE NATURE AND SOURCES OF FUTURE GRANTS FOR FUNDING MNF'S MISSION; 3) THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING PROJECTS DEFINED BY MNF PRIORITIES; 4) STAFFING NEEDS TO ACCOMPLISH MNF'S MISSION. WITH THE ENDING OF THE THREE YEAR KELLOGG START-UP GRANT AND THE BEGINNING OF THE SEARCH FOR A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE RETREAT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAINTAIN THE MUTUAL "ENLIGHTENED SELF INTEREST" WHICH HAS DRAWN TOGETHER THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS, SO THAT WE MIGHT REDISCOVER VALUE TO SUSTAIN OUR COMMITMENT. After discussion, the trustees agreed to postpone discussion of this recommendation until item 14 on the agenda: Discussion of Priorities and Future Plans for the Forum. 6. Audit Committee Report [Tab 5]: G. Stevens reported that MNF has received a clean bill of fiscal health for its 1991-92 Audit Report. David Ambrose, MNF's auditor, has issued an unqualified letter in support of the report and noted that there are no substantive issues to be brought to the Board's attention. After discussion, the 1991-92 Auditor's Report was unanimously approved. 7. Membership Committee Report [Tab 6]: D. Johnson thanked those trustees who enthusiastically volunteered to contact organizations which might be interested in becoming Network Associate members of MNF. Their dedicated efforts have helped to create a Campaign which has exceed everyone's expectations. To date MNF has 17 new Network Associate members and nine new Associate members. 8. Nominating Committee Report [Tab 7]: D. Johnson reviewed the qualifications for Organizational Members of the Board. The committee made three nominations for organizational membership to the Board: Michigan Hospital Association, Michigan Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, and Food Bank Council of Michigan. After discussion, the nominations were unanimously approved. D. Johnson then reviewed the qualifications for Network Members of the Board. Three nominations for network membership were presented: American Cancer Society - Michigan Section, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, and Michigan Humanities Council. After discussion, the nominations were unanimously approved. S. Johns-Boehme then moved that in recognition of the importance of the environmental sector in our society, that the Michigan United Conservation Clubs be invited to participate on the Governing Board as a Network Member. After discussion, this nomination was approved. 9. Election of New Officers of the Governing Board: D. Johnson reported on the nominations for officers to MNF's Board of Trustees. She noted that Ed Blews, MNF secretary and public policy committee chair, wanted to spend more time on public 3 �policy issues and step down from the secretary position. The committee nominated Herb Yamanishi to replace Ed Blews as secretary. The nominating committee recognized the need for continuity and stability during MNF's leadership transition and felt it was important to maintain the remaining slate of officers. Therefore, the nominations for officers were: Russell G. Mawby Helen C. Philpott Robert E. Ivory Herb Yamanishi Chair Vice-Chair Treasurer Secretary After discussion, the nominations were unanimously approved. The trustees also thanked E. Blews for his dedicated service as secretary during MNF's start-up years. E. Blews noted that it was a joy to work with his fellow officers and board members during these exciting and productive developmental years. 10. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Program Committee Report [Tab 8]: H. Philpott reported that the GGV program committee held its second meeting on October 6 and that the planning for the conference is well underway. Diana Sieger of the Grand Rapids Foundation is serving as co-chair of GGV; her past experience as co-chair of GGIV has been invaluable. GGV will be held at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn on May 14, 1993. The GGV theme is "Focus on the Future: Creating Caring Communities" and the program committee hopes to secure Rosalyn Carter as Keynote Speaker. Because the acoustics in the Great Lakes room are inadequate, there will not be a luncheon speaker this year. Instead there will be a quick lunch followed by a second general session which will focus on diversity. This session will be conducted by Dr. Samuel Betances of the University of Illinois. H. Philpott also reviewed the final GGIV Financial Report. She noted that GGIV costs were slightly higher than GGIII costs due to the additional mailing expenses incurred to combat the registration shortfall. She also noted that while there was a shortfall between revenues and expenses, Grantmakers/Grantseekers has always been subsidized by MNF's general fund. This is the first year that the subsidy has been adequately measured. H. Philpott pointed out that a subcommittee of the GGV program committee is pursuing opportunities for corporate sponsorship and display fees to offset the conference expenses. The subcommittee hopes to attract $20,000 in corporate sponsorships. Sponsors and vendors will be carefully selected to insure that the integrity and mission of the conference are upheld. H. Philpott also mentioned that the committee is looking at the possibility of holding GGVI at a different facility. For the past three years GGS has been held at the Hyatt Regency. However, given the limitations of the lunch room and recent problems with service, the committee felt it was important to investigate other hotels in Michigan. �11. Campaign for Voluntarism Report [Tab 9]: G. Romney summarized progress on this initiative to date. He reaffirmed the importance of this aspect of MNF's mission and the Forum's unique position to have a lasting impact on the state. The committee expressed their unanimous support and their deep appreciation for his leadership. 12. Program & Public Policy Committees Report [Tab 10]: E. Blews reported that this is indeed an exciting and dramatic time for MNF. He noted that the Summit I tapes are almost complete and will be available with a written synopsis in the near future. E. Blews also reviewed the White Paper and its developmental process to date. The White Paper subcommittee has met twice to review and revise Janne Gallagher's White Paper draft, which is intended to be a comprehensive statement of values that showcase the distinctiveness of the nonprofit sector in Michigan. The White Paper can be used to educate nonprofits, government and business alike on what the nonprofit sector is and is capable of being. E. Blews then made the following motion: THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECEIVE THE DISCUSSION DRAFT OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM "WHITE PAPER ON VALUES AND ACCOUNTABILITY," AS REVISED TO REFLECT THE DELIBERATIONS AND WORK OF THE MNF JOINT PUBLIC POLICY/PROGRAM COMMITTEES ON OCTOBER 9,1992, FOR PURPOSES OF CIRCULATION TO THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT COMMUNITY FOR FEEDBACK, DISCUSSION, FURTHER REFINEMENT AND FORMAL HEARINGS; AND FURTHER, THAT THE MNF BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE IN CONCEPT THE PROPOSED SCHEDULE AND PROCESS FOR SOLICITING COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, HOLDING FORUM HEARINGS AND MODIFYING AND REFINING THE WHITE PAPER WITH THE GOAL OF FORMAL ADOPTION BY THE BOARD AT ITS MAY 1993 MEETING. After discussion, the trustees approved the motion. 13. Tax Incentive Study Group Report: Co-Chairs R. Ivory and D. Johnson reviewed the progress of this committee to date. The Committee has retained Public Affairs Associates, Inc., of Lansing. The group has an extensive background in dealing with tax issues and the legislature, as well as experience working with the nonprofit sector. The Council of Michigan Foundations and the United Way of Michigan have both contributed $5,000 toward the $30,000 consulting fee of the Public Affairs Associates, Inc. The Committee is in the process of securing funds for the remainder of the fee. Public Affairs Associates, Inc. is working jointly with Gary Wolfram, Economics Professor at Hillsdale College and former Deputy Treasurer of Michigan. The committee has extensively reviewed the first draft of Dr. Wolfram's paper which details the economic and social effect of tax incentives for the entire Michigan nonprofit sector. The draft is being rewritten for review by the committee in mid-November. 14. Executive Search Committee Report: Chair H. Philpott reported that MNF will undertake a "modified national" search, relying on the candidate recommendations of trustees and key contacts. Advertising of the position will be limited to select Michigan �publications and the Chronicle of Philanthropy. She indicated the committee will work on a four-month timetable, anticipating filling the position by February 1, 1993. 15. Discussion of Priorities and Future Plans for the Forum [Tab 11]: There was considerable discussion regarding the priorities and future direction of the Forum. The finance committee's motion to conduct an all-day Board retreat was taken from the table and approved. Chairman Mawby instructed the Forum staff to survey the membership for availability of an early January meeting. He also suggested that the executive committee meet to discuss the most appropriate process to prepare for and conduct the retreat. 16. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m. Respectfully Submitted by: Herbert Yamanishi, Secretary �ref:bdt21012.min,cm/bdt,0000 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
