Minutes of the Finance Committee Conference Call March 10, 1992 - 3:00pm 1. Welcome and Roll Call: Robert Ivory (delayed arrival due to snowstorm) Joyce Brown Steven Johns-Boehme Maryellen Lewis John Marshall Herb Yamanishi 2. Review of the Minutes. The minutes of the January 14 meeting were approved. 3. Review of the Frinee Benefits Packaee. The committee adopted the following recommendations, tabled at the January 14 committee meeting: RECOMMENDATION #1 MNF's fringe benefits package will be completed to the level of 20% of salary as soon as possible. Since fringe benefits have not been fully in place for much of FY1991-92, any balance of the 20% for each employee this year will be placed in a Tax-Exempt Annuity for each. RECOMMENDATION #2 MNF's fringe benefits package will include both REQUIRED and OPTIONAL benefits, selected on an annual basis (at the beginning of the fiscal year) by each employee and totaling 20% of salary for each. REQUIRED BENEFITS will include not only the current medical/dental, workers compensation, unemployment, FICA and Medicare, but also shortterm disability, coordinated with MNF's sick leave policy and optional longterm disability insurance. OYfiONAL BENEFITS (bringing the personal total up to 20% of salary) will include Dependents' Medical/Dental, Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability, Tuition Assistance, and a Tax-Exempt Annuity. [At the committee's request, the Executive Director obtained confirmation that this plan is consistent with current laws and regulations: Health coverage must be identical for each employee, unless formally declined. Otherwise, benefits may be proportional to salary.] �4. Discussion of Fundraising Goals. The committee reviewed the original budget (excluding the Kellogg grant) , to determine shortfalls and revised fundraising goals. The discussion was tabled for further discussion at the April3rd meeting. The committee recommended that Chairman Ivory and CEO Maryellen Lewis meet with Russ Maw by, Dottie Johnson and John Lore to discuss fundraising plans. The committee also recommended that Russ Mawby be approached to write a letter to each Trustee to encourage their personal contribution to MNF (in whatever amount they choose) , as well as their personal commitment to enlist new MNF Associate Members and Network Members. 5. Review ofMNF's compliance with the Public Support Test. The committee briefly reviewed the report of MNF's anticipated compliance with the IRS Public Support Test in Year 3. No follow-up tasks were identified for the moment. 6. Adjournment. The committee adjourned at 3:40. ref:4/3/92,fin20310.min,committe\tinance,OOOO 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Minutes of the Finance Committee Meetin~ January 14. 1992 - 9:00 to 12:00 (at the United Way of Michigan, 300 N. Washington Square #405, Lansing) Present: Robert E. Ivory, Chairman Herbert Yarnanishi Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: Because of the snow delay, today's guest and some committee members were unable to attend. The meeting was called to order at 9:15. 2. Review of the Second Quarterly Financial Statement. a. Changes Approved. The committee approved two line-item transfers: - $3000 will be moved from Administrative Salaries to Clerical Services, to cover the temporary secretary hired during the search for the Administrative Secretary. - $1200 will be moved from Student Interns to FICA, to cover the FICA taxes now required for student employees. -Depreciation will be added to future balance sheets, now that we have figures from the accountant. b. Committee Recommendations: After lengthy discussion and with the following recommendations, the Second Quarterly Financial Statement was adopted unanimously. -- The balance sheet should show withholding taxes as a liability. -- The Executive Director should prepare a program budget showing costs for each program as soon as is feasible. �- The Executive Director should prepare a narrative clarizyin~ the underspendin~ (related to the lengthy start-up period before programs that will be initiated in the late winter and spring), in order to clarify how fund will be spent before the end of the fiscal year. 3. Review of Frin~e Benefits. The committee reviewed current fringe benefits (which range from 13 % to 17% of salary) in light of the board's commitment to 20% fringe benefits. After some discussion, the committee made the following preliminary recommendations, to be discussed further by the committee in a conference call: -- The Executive Director should call a sampling of members, to learn the range of levels of fringe benefits in relation to salaries. [A sampling of three follow-up calls showed the following range: 28%, 30% and 34%. Several other members do not regularly compute this figure, so it was unavailable.] - The MNF Fringe Benefits Package should probably include both REQUIRED and OPTIONAL BENEFITS, selected on an annual basis by employees and totaling 20% of salary. -REQUIRED BENEFITS should include not only the current medical/dental, workers compensation, unemployment, FICA and Medicare, but also ShortTerm Disabilicy, coordinated with MNF's sick leave policy and optional longterm disability insurance. --OPTIONAL BENEFITS (bringing the personal total to 20% of salary) should include Dependents' Medical/Dental, Life Insurance, Long-term Disability, Tuition Assistance and a Tax-Deferred Annuity (with the contributed amount designated annually, representing the balance of the 20% of salary). 4. Update on Sales Tax Issue. In November, the Michigan Department of Treasury issued a Bulletin requiring nonprofits to pay sales tax on certain meals if reimbursed. This is the exact language of the policy: "All meals sold by caterers are subject to sales tax except catered meals sold to qualified exempt entities as 'not for resale. ' 'Not for resale' means that the catered meals are paid from funds of the exempt entity with no reimbursement from individuals attending the event. . . An example of a taxable catered meals would be an exempt entity conducting a fund raising dinner by selling tickets for a fixed amount which includes the cost of the meal." [Revenue Administrative Bulletin 88-42, "Catered Meals] However, our pro bono accounting adviser, Forrest Lewis of Plante & Moran, advises that we need not pay sales tax on meal reimbursements if the event is clearly a mission-related activity and the meal is incidental. In addition, reimbursements 2 �by her exempt organizations (rather than individuals) are not currently subject to this ruling. MNF invoices for meals associated with committee meetings and other events will indicate that the meal is incidental to a mission-oriented activity. 5. Review of Revenue Sources for FY1991-92 and FY1992-93. a. Reswnsibility for Fundraisine. The committee asked the Executive Director to clarify which categories of revenue are the responsibility of the finance committee, and which are part of the membership campaign. They are as follows: FINANCE COMMITTEE RESPONSffiiLITY Founding Member Pledges Non-Founding Member Dues Individual Trustees Other Individual Donors General Support Grants Fees (non-GGS) and publs. budeeted anticipated 10,000 2,000 2,000 1,000 2,000 2,000 8,450 1,750 MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE RESPONSffiiLITY Subscribers @ $20 (100) Agency/Individual Associates @$50 (40) "Network Associates" @ $75-500 (10) b. 2,000 2,000 2,000 750 Compensatin~ for Projected Shortfalls. M. Lewis reported that, based on projected shortfalls in dues and interest, the goals for individual donations and general support grants must be increased by a total of $5000. c. Anticipated Income from the Membership Campai~. M. Lewis reported that the new membership brochure will be mailed in February with the Grantmakers/Grantseekers brochure. Following the GGS, contacts will be made by trustees and staff with potential "Network Associates." Because of the lateness in the year, income from this category will likely be below the budgeted amount for FY 1991-92. d. Fundraisine Strategy. The committee agreed that the board should make a concerted effort now to raise funds from individual trustees, other individual 3 �donors, and general support grants for FY1991-92. They also agreed that the strategy for FY1992-93 must be developed now, since the amount to be raised is dramatically larger: $54,913. Before June 30, these are events and themes that could be used for attracting these funds: Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar operating costs Summit dissemination Newsletter and Alerts MNF' s Clearinghouse function Scholars Roundtables and Updates to the field These matters will be discussed in the committee's conference call. R. Ivory also agreed to contact J . Lore, D. Johnson and R. Mawby for their advice and help on fundraising. 6. Public Support Test. Although the committee's guest, Maryann Pierce, was unable to attend due to the snow, the committee reviewed the preliminary report on MNF's "Public Support Test." Based on the figures, ifMNF keeps to its schedule on fundraising from diverse sources, it will achieve the minimal30% Public Support by Year 3 (FY 1993-94). The committee postponed further discussion until the conference call. 7. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 11:30. ref:2/4/92,fin20114 .min,committe\fmance\0100\mjt 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Sincerely, G(~~ ~sio Ronald Pro j ect Manager RJB:5571B !\ �2 Statement of Activities The Board tentatively concluded that: 1. At a minimum a statement of activities provided by a not-for-profit organization should: a. Include all revenues, expenses, gains, and losses for the period b. Display the amount of the change in net assets for the period c. Display the amount of the change in each of three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. 2. Revenues and expenses generally should be reported gross; gains and losses may be reported net. 3. Revenues, expenses, gains, and losses should be classified according to whether they increase or decrease umestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted net assets. Other events, such as expirations of donor-imposed restrictions, that simultaneously increase one class of net assets and decrease another (reclassifications) should be reported separately from items of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. 4. Revenues generally should be reported as increases in unrestricted net assets, unless the use of the assets received is limited by donor-imposed stipulations. Contributions should be presumed to be unrestricted revenues in the absence of (1) explicit donor stipulations or (2) circumstances surrounding those receipts that make clear the donor's implicit restrictton on use. Donor-restricted contributions should be reported as restricted support that increases temporarily or permanently restricted net assets. a. Unconditional pledges with payments due in future periods should be reported as restricted support unless explicit donor stipulations or circumstances surrounding the receipt of the pledges make clear that the donor intended that they be utilized in the current year. b. Gifts of cash or other assets to acquire long-lived assets and gifts of long-lived assets should be reported as restricted support unless explicit donor stipulations or circumstances surrounding the recetpt of the donated assets make clear that the donor intended that they be sold to generate cash proceeds for unrestricted use. 5. Expenses generally should be reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets. 6. Gains and losses recognized on investments and other assets should be reported as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets unless their use is temporarily or permanently restricted by explicit donor stipulations or by law. For example, net unrealized and realized gains on investment assets of endowments would be reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets unless their use is restricted to a specified purpose or future period. Likewise, gains on investment assets of endowments would be reported as an increase in permanently restricted net assets to the extent that the governing board determines they must be permanently retained in accordance with its interpretation of the relevant law. display\teatcoa.doc 3/18/92 �4 The three illustrative statements of activities generally show items of revenues and gains followed by reclassifications (of restricted amounts), a subtotal, expenses, and losses. Those items could be arranged in other ways and other subtotals may be included. For example, the items may be sequenced as (a) revenues, e~enses, gains and losses, and reclassifications shown last or (b) cenain revenues, less drrectly related expenses, followed by a subtotal, then other revenues, other expenses, gains and losses, and reclassifications. The three illustrative statements of activities report expenses by function. Although natural classification is not required, a statement of activities may repon expenses by natural classification with expenses by functional classification disclosed in the notes to financial statements. A statement of cash flows is illustrated using the direct method of reponing cash flow from operating activities; however, the indirect method may be used. The illustrations include sample note disclosures. Notes A, B, and C provide required information about the nature and amount of restrictions imposed by donors. The disclosures provided by notes D, E, and F are encouraged. display\tentcon.doc 3/18/fJl �WORKING DRAFT Example1 Not-for-Profit Org1nizatlon A Statement of Actlvitlee YNr ended June 30, 1tX1 (in thousands) Changes in unrestricted net assets: Revenues and gains: Contributions Fees Investment Income on endowment Other investment Income Net unrealized and realized gains on endowment Net unrealized and realized gains on other Investments Other Total unrestricted revenues and gains Net assets released from restrictions (Note D) Total unrestricted revenues, gains and other support Expenses and losses: Program A Program B Program C Management and general Fund raising Total expenses (Note E) Fire loss $ 8,500 5,400 3,600 2,850 4,428 3,800 150 28,728 15,220 43,948 13,100 8,540 5,760 2,420 2,150 31 ,970 80 . .:I.rti=!:;~~-.:·.....-..,m;:::tEm:mm::mmm;;mnwitt:~r:::tnW?Mtimtnmwrmm:u:;:~~@i· ·=·=· ·=·=· ~·~=i Changes In temporarily restricted net assets: Contributions Investment income on annuity and life Income agreements Investment Income on end<Mment Net unrealized and realized gains on endowment Net assets released from restrictions (Note 0) 8,250 180 2,400 2,952 (15,220) -~~=:h.~~iifliiiJ:::mrifiiMJHt:urmwlF1Iw:rmw.m:nnr£NllT&ENih·· · =· · .u;li Changes in permanently restricted nat assets: Contributions Investment Income on endowment 280 120 ~~~~~-ed·..and ·· realized .. ~ns on, Ji(ai.:@;;~G:Gi.;i~ilii@llifJ@iltm:flf.f®.j@[iff1\l~i:fi8¥Dr . &~ .,._ . : .,..

Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in the statement of activities. State law allows the board of trustees to appropriate a prudent portion of net appreciation after considering the Orgamzauon's long and short-term needs, present and anticipated financial requirements, expected total return on its investments, price level trends, and general economic conditions. The Organization's endowment management policies are designed to allow spending of a prudent amount of net appreciation and to preserve the real value of the endowment portfolio over time, in accordance with the board of trustees' interpretation of the requirements of state law. To meet these objectives and requirements, net appreciation is retained permanently in an amount necessary to adjust the historical dollar value of original endowment gifts by the change in the Consumer Price Index. The policy also limits current spending of endowment return to 5% of the average of the market value at the end of tlie previous three years. This spending policy utilizes investment income first and makes up any shortfall from unappropriated net appreciation on the portfolio. At June 30, 19X1, Sxx,xxx of unappropriated net appreciation is included in unrestricted net assets and Syy,yyy is included in temporarily restricted net assets.

Recommendations of the Finance Committee adopted by the Executive Committee on April 15. 1992 I. Recommendations on MNF Fringe Benefits Package: #1: MNF's fringe benefits package should be completed to the level of 20% of salary as soon as possible, before the end ofFY1991-921 Since fringe benefits have not been fully in place for much of FY1991-92, any balance of the 20% for each employee this year should be placed in a Tax-Exempt Annuity for each. #2: MNF' s fringe benefits package should include both REQUIRED and OPTIONAL benefits, selected on an annual basis (at the beginning of each fiscal year) by each employee and totaling 20% of salary for each. _\ v ,} uJ J~O-\) ~ ~CY REQUIRED BENEFITS should not only include tl!..~egally-required) '\ medical/dental-,warkers compensation, unemploymen~edicare, but also short-term disability (probably covered in-house, based on the United Way of Michigan model), coordinated with MNF's sick leave policy and optional long-term disability insurance. OPTIONAL BENEFITS (bringing the personal total up to 20% of salary) should include Dependents' Medical/Dental, Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability, Tuition Assistance, and a Tax-Exempt Annuity. IT. Recommendations Concerning Salary Review #1: Salary review should coincide with the fiscal year, to accommodate financial planning. ill. Recommendations for Computer Purchase #1: MNF should purchase a 486/33 desktop computer and related peripherals (including a tape backup, fax/modem and hook-up to the MNF "local area network"), to accommodate MNF's accounting, desktop publishing, database management and data analysis. For this purpose, $4000 of unexpended revenues should be transferred from the Personnel line to the Equipment line. (Actual purchase will be reviewed with the Finance Committee Chairman, as with any major MNF purchase.) �RATIONALE: MNF now has two 286 computers (of a type which cannot be upgraded to 386 or 486 --Compaq Deskpro), one 386 and a laptop (which doubles as the Executive's desktop computer). At any one time, there are at least 5, often 7 persons at work. Student interns' computer work is extensive, but does not require high-powered computers, so a 286 is adequate, when available for them to use. However, the work of the Administrative Secretary -- database filemerges, merge letters, network management -- and of the Administrative Assistant-- accounting, data analysis and desktop publishing-- it too timeconsuming to be left to the 286s. For example, an accounting task that is nearly instantaneous on our single 386 may take 5-10 minutes to be processed on the 286. Right now, these staff members juggle their work between the 386 and 286 machines, sometimes postponing critical work until after-hours when schedules compete heavily. We can now purchase a 486/33 computer (200 mgs, 8 mgs of RAM, color monitor) with math coprocessor for less than the 286 cost 18 months ago (with only 40 mgs, 1 mg of RAM, monochrome monitor). This machine would eliminate the need to juggle machines between two key staff members and would free up the second 286 for use by temporary clerical assistants and student interns. Most important, it would greatly facilitate efficient use of scarce staff time. IV. Recommendations concerning Fundraising for F¥1991-92 #1: The MNF Board should adopt a formal policy urging every Trustee to make a personal financial commitment to MNF's work. 112: Upon adoption of this policy of 100% participation, the Board should request that Chairman Mawby write to each Trustee, inviting and encouraging them to make a personal financial commitment to MNF's work. #3: The board and chairman should also urge each Trustee to assume the additional responsibility of enlisting new MNF Associate Members and Network Members. ref:4/9/92,exe20415.fin,cornmitte/exec,Ol00 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

NOT YET ADOPTED Minutes of the Finance Committee Meetin2 Monday April 3. 1992 - 9:00 to 12:00 (at the United Way of Michigan, 300 N. Washington Square, Suite 405, Lansing) Present: R. Ivory, Chair S. Johns-Boehme M. Lewis H . Yamanishi 1. Welcome and Call to Order. Chairman R. Ivory called the meeting to order at 9:10. 2. Review of the Minutes. Minutes of the March 10 conference call were adopted. 3. Review of the Quarterly Financial Report. Robert Ivory reviewed the 3rd quarterly financial statement, pointing out the following : a. Costs under projections. Expenditures are far behind revenues, largely because of the transfer of unexpended Kellogg funds from 1990-91 , but also because several programs only became operational in the third quarter (such as the Summit, student interns, the newsletter, the membership drive, published MNF papers, D&O insurance, audit, and some personnel benefits). Savings this year are expected in nearly all categories, especially salaries and benefits, contract services, and office operations. By June 30, based on two quarters of full expenditures, the 1992-93 budget will much more closely reflect real costs. b. Income under projections. Actual income does not match budget projections. A revised revenues proposal will be discussed today. In addition, fundraising strategies to cover projected shortfalls will be discussed. c. Benefits. Benefits expenditures are far below budget, because MNF' s fringe benefits package has not yet been completed. A proposal on fringe benefits is also on the agenda. d. Evaluation. The evaluation is now underway but is expected to total $10,000 for FY91-92. �e. Software. Computer Software/Office Operations exceeds that annual budget for this line (but not the budget category) because of the necessary purchase of dBASE Network Software. The committee discussed the matter and agreed that, within budget categories, changes need not go before the Executive Committee or the Board (which approve a less-detailed budget of only the budget categories). Only changes between categories need to be taken to the Executive Committee and the Board. However, the Executive should continue to inform the Treasurer and the Finance Committee for their review, in advance whenever possible. f. Posta2e. As the Executive had discussed earlier with the Treasurer, costs of postage will be considerably higher than originally projected: the newsletter was not previously budgeted (see attachment), and the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar registration shortfall required extensive follow-up mailings. With a projected increase of $4500, the committee approved the in-category transfer of $3000 from Copying and $1500 from Telephone. g. Staff Travel. The Executive asked for flexibility within this category, so that total funds can be moved between lines (Travel Mileage to Travel Air, for example) throughout the year. The committee approved allowing the Executive flexibility within this category, with the provision that she will inform the Treasurer and the Finance Committee for their review at the earliest possible date. h. Accounts Payable. As soon as possible, MNF will record predictable anticipated expenditures (such as annual Workers Compensation payments and quarterly billings for phone, copying and fax from MSU) as monthly Accounts Payable, in order to track a more accurate cash-flow. 4. Update on Fringe Benefits. M. Lewis reviewed the committee's previous decision to increase fringe benefits to the budgeted 20% . Since several insurance companies have expressed little interest in insuring MNF for short-term disability, she suggested that MNF develop a self-insurance policy similar to the United Way of Michigan's policy of selfinsurance for short-tenn disability. The committee approved and B. Ivory agreed to forward their new language and procedures. 5. Purchase of a 486/33 computer for MNF. The Executive recommended, and the committee approved the purchase of a fourth computer and related peripherals for MNF. For this purpose, the committee agreed to recommend to the Executive Committee that $4000 be transferred from the Personnel line to Computer Hardware Purchase. The Executive will keep the Treasurer and committee informed for their review. EXECUTIVE'S RATIONALE: MNF now has two 286 computers, one 386, and a laptop (used also as the Executive's desktop computer). Now that MNF has an additional office, student interns have been added. At any one time, there are at least 5, often 7 persons at work. Student interns' computer work is extensive, but does not �require high-powered computers, so a 286 is adequate, when available for them to use. However, the work of the Administrative Secretary - database filemerges, merge letters, network management -- and of the Administrative Assistant -accounting, data analysis and desktop publishing --is too time-consuming to be left to the 286s. For example, an accounting task that is nearly instantaneous on our single 386 may take 5-10 minutes to be processed on the 286. Right now, these staff members juggle their work between the 386 and 286 machines. We can now purchase a 486 (200 mgs, 8mgs of RAM, color monitor) with math co-processor for less than the 286 (40 mgs, 1 mg of RAM, monochrome monitor) cost us 18 months ago. This machine will free up a second 286 for use by temporary clerical assistants and student interns, and will greatly facilitate efficient use of scarce staff time. The Kellogg Foundation has been extremely supportive ofMNF's use of grant dollars for hardware, which will be much more difficult to fund in the future. 6. Review of Fundraisin~ Goals. After some discussion, the committee adopted the following recommendations to the Executive Committee: #1: The board of trustees should adopt a policy urging full personal participation by every Trustee in MNF' s work. #2: Upon adoption, the Executive Committee should request the Chairman to write a letter to each Trustee, encouraging them to make a personal contribution. #3: The Executive Committee should urge each Trustee to enlist new MNF Associate Members and Network Associates. The Finance Committee also agreed that the Executive should put together a packet for trustees to use in recruitment, including "boilerplate" language for letters and several brochures. The Executive was also asked to prepare a list of potential Network Members for the trustees to sign up for at the board meeting. 7. Fundraisin~ Goals and Strategies for Fy1992-93. The committee reviewed possible grant opportunities and strategies for FY1992-93. Members agreed that a brainstorming meeting would be appropriate, including R. Ivory, M. Lewis, John Lore, Russ Mawby, and Dottie Johnson. Members requested the Executive to set up such a meeting as soon as possible. 8. Salary Reviews. The committee approved the recommendation that salary reviews should coincide with MNF's fiscal year. �9. Schedulin~ of Meetings through June 1993.

Maryellen J. Lewis, Executive Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is a statewide alliance to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Mtchigan s noeprofit sector. and to advance the cause of voluntarism an philanthropy in the state. 1 1 Background. In response to challenges facing the nation s nonprofit sector, volunteer leaders and executives of ten statewide organizations concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on August 31, 1988 to form the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Initially designed to convene members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has evolved into an enti!¥ charged with achieving a new awareness and increased capacity of Michigan s nonprofit sector, and with interfacing funders, nonprofits and the public (working together with existing efforts in the state) to promote voluntarism and philanthropy m Michigan. To achieve these goals, the Forum does not itself serve as a field-specific trade association competin_g for memberships and support with existing associations in Michigan. fustead) the Micliigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for the first time, a statewide mechamsm for dialogue, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The Forum brmgs together local and statewide leaders of nonprofit organizations, as well as public and private funders and tax-supported mstitutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasingly-recognized stalCe. The activities of the Forum address voluntarism philanthropY. and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary interests but as public goods, wliich broadly affect the state's economy1 polity and quality of life, and which therefore ment careful analysis and planmng, human resource development, informed public discussion, and dependable mvestment. �Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts ana humanities, community development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan. areas: To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities in these five 1. Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings (local, regional and statewide) among sector leaders and stake-holders; it serves as bot~ a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. 2. Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles and disseminates current information and insights, as a basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge base for public policy and practice in the state. 3. Public Policy Information: The Forum seeks greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that affect the sector as a whole. 4. Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, within the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment, the Forum promotes greater awareness of resources across the sector and facilitates collaborative planning and action. 5. Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, which brings the sector's s~keho.lders together for day-long presentations and diSCUSSIOnS. �:MNF Board of Trustees The Forum's Board of Trustees serves as the governing body. Although it is not intended to represent all stakeholders -- an impossible task -- it does brmg together a small number of statewide organizations and their elected member representatives, to achieve a broad reach into many fields.

[NOT YET ADOPTED] Minutes ~ Campai~n for Voluntarism Committee Meetin~ April 13, 1992 -- 9:00 to 12:00 p.m. (Kellogg Center, Big 10 C Room 103, East Lansing) Present: Michelle Engler, Co-chair George Romney, Co-chair Diana Algra Barbara Bradford Mary Cady Aaron Cantrell Robert Church Christopher Clark Janet Clark Donna Clarke Darin Day Sara Erikson Bettye Thomas Gilkey Elaine Gordon Philip Guyeskey Charles Infante Ethel Kage Justin King Terry Langston Maryellen Lewis William McCann Cindy Newman Sharon Radtke Carolyn Rieks Brenda Sanford Cynthia Scherer Lester Schick Trabian Shorters Glenn Stevens S. Mark Terman Robert Viera Pamela Warwick Patricia Waxweiler Scott Wheeler Darryl White Janice Williams Herbert Yamanishi 1. Welcome and Introductions. Co-chair Michelle Engler called the meeting to order at 9:10a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Restatement of the Challen~e: Governor Romney reviewed the challenge to the committee: to make volunteering an expected part of the life of every Michigan citizen. Further, Governor Romney commented on the nature of the problems currently facing not only Michigan, but the entire nation. He refers to four interrelated challenges facing all of us: (1) equal opportunity for all, (2) U.S. competitiveness in world markets, (3) educational excellence, and (4) social problems and learning readiness. Governor Romney went on to note that today, the United Sates is more threatened by its internal human and social problems than by any external enemy. Each of us, individually and within our groups, must contribute to finding permanent solutions to the problems that increasingly have a stranglehold on our society. Our response must �begin with a serious, honest assessment of the terrible nature and scope of the problems which we face. Second, we must recognize the these problems transcend partisan boundaries. Third, we must avoid reliance on a "magic bullet" to solve our problems overnight. Fourth, we require transformational leadership that calls each of us to a higher level. Only by doing this can we rebuild the social fabric of our communities. Thus, it is vital that we engage citizens in effective community service. In order to do this we must provide them with the leadership, the infrastructure, and the models to do so. Governor Romney indicated that the Michigan Year of the Volunteer is in an excellent position to serve as a model for the nation. He noted the effort has bipartisan support within Michigan, support from the President, as well as support from leading congressional figures such as Senator Edward Kennedy. He also mentioned the professional support the Campaign has received. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has provided an initial two-year grant to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan for technical assistance for voluntary action centers and an (800) telephone number for volunteering ( also supported by a grant from Michigan Bell), and a grant to the Points of Light Foundation for professional assistance from Pam Warwick. 3. Update on Pro~ress : M. Lewis reported on the progress of the Campaign to date. She reviewed commitments that partner organizations have made in response to the Campaign. For example, the Executive Service Corps is working to identify a public relations consultant to assist with the Campaign. The Michigan Public Broadcaster's Association will devote time during their annual meetings in May and June to the Year of the Volunteer to generate interest among their members. Prudential Securities will promote a voluntarism event in each Michigan headquarters' city. AAA of Michigan is considering enlisting the company 's local managers to take significant leadership roles in the area of voluntarism. United Community Services of Detroit will link arms with business and county government to promote a Detroit Year of the Volunteer. The Michigan Association of School Boards passed a unique resolution to encourage and strengthen student community service around the state. And the Junior League of Michigan is reviewing a resolution to promote the creation of corporate volunteer councils in their nine chapter cities, while at the same time working to support their local VACs. 4. Review of the Role of Campai~n Committee Members: M. Lewis reviewed the draft Role of the Co-Chairs and Role of the Organizations represented on the Campaign Committee. After discussion, the committee approved these roles as follows: Role of the CD-CHAIRS OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE 1. To issue the challenge, including goals and a strategic framework for the Campaign. (CATALYST) 2. To convene the Campaign Committee, including diverse, broadly-based and inclusive representation and involvement. (LEADERSIDP DEVELOPMENT) �3. To publicly support and focus attention on the Year of the Volunteer, the importance of volunteering for addressing serious social problems, and the need for solid community infrastructures to support and sustain volunteering. (VALIDATION AND MEDIA ATTENTION) 4. To voice the Campaign's accomplishments at strategic points in the Campaign. (RECOGNITION) Role of ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED ON THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE 1. To introduce the Campaign to their constituencies; to encourage priority attention and involvement by their local chapters and constituents. 2. To use their networks to encourage support of Campaign goals in local communities. 3. Where not already in place, to advocate for the Campaign goals to become long-term commitments by their organizations and networks. 4.

To seek and pursue opportunities for collaboration/partnership with other Campaign Committee organizations, in order to leverage maximum involvement and support. To enlist other network organizations to join the Campaign. 7. To serve as the information hub on the Campaign for their constituencies. 5. Re,ports on Small Group Discussions: Each small group representative reported on what each member organization will do to utilize the Campaign to advance volunteering through their members and networks. Group # 1: D. Clarke reported for group 1. She noted the group felt it would be important to supplement the Governor's proclamation for the Year of the Volunteer with a Joint Resolution of the Senate and the House. The organizations will use materials prepared for the kickoff on April 24 to contact local media. Individual organizations will also collaborate with other local organizations during the Year of the Volunteer. Organizations will promote staff voluntarism and "volunteer friendly" environments. Organizations will use the Campaign for Voluntarism logo and will promote voluntarism events in their newsletters and other communications. �Group #2: M. Lewis reported for group 2. She noted specifically the Flint NSFRE chapter will devote its next meeting to voluntarism and will work to promote a volunteer event in May. The West Michigan NSFRE chapter will devote a chapter meeting to voluntarism and will focus on voluntarism at National Philanthropy Day in October. She reported on a pending resolution by all Michigan NSFRE chapters to offer pro bono assistance to VACs. Further, the Community Action Agency Association will focus efforts on reaching those 35% who want to volunteer, but don't know where to go, especially nontraditional volunteers. Group #3: Darin Day reported for group 3. He noted organizations would examine their own volunteer processing systems. One outcome of the Year of the Volunteer will be an increase in the number of individuals volunteering. Agencies must be ready to accept, process and orient these individuals to provide them with a rewarding and valuable experience. 6. Identification of Next Steps. based on Re,ports of Sma11 Groups: Committee members were asked to sign up for follow-up work groups based on promotion and public relations, regional events and long-range planning. Each member will fax back the questionnaire before Friday, for inclusion in the Kickoff on April 24. MNF will follow-up with work group next steps. 7. Schedule Quarterly Meetings of the Campaign Committee: MNF will gather potential quarterly meeting dates from the co-chairs and circulate among the committee for response and scheduling. 8. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 11:50 a.m. ref:mvc20413.min,com/mvc,6300 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Minutes ~ Organizational Meetin~ of the Campaign for Voluntarism December 16, 1991 -- 9:00 to 12:00 p.m. (Kellogg Center, Conference Room 103, East Lansing) Present: Janet Blanchard, Co-chair Michelle Engler, Co-chair George Romney, Co-chair Diana Algra Edward Blews Mary Cady Aaron Cantrell Janet Clark Donna Clarke David Egner Terry Foster Elaine Gordon David Gross Charles Infante William Ives Gene Keilitz Constance Julius Ethel Kage Edward Kastner Elaine Klaus Terry Langston Maryellen Lewis Beverly McDonald James McHale Sharon Radtke Judy Ratkos Lenore Romney Brenda Sanford Cynthia Scherer Trabian Shorters Jean Tubbs Octavia Vaughn James Votruba 1. Welcome and Introductions. With the Co-chairs present, the meeting was called to order at 9:15a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Overview and Opportunity: Governor Romney reviewed the formation of the informal Michigan Volunteer Coalition in June 1990; the adoption of the Coalition as a formal initiative of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum in October 1990; and the formation by the Co-chairs and MNF of this Coordinating Committee (authorized at the June 1990 meeting) which held its first meeting in December 1990. Governor Romney also reviewed the challenge to the committee: to make volunteering an expected part of the life of every Michigan citizen. Further, Governor Romney commented on the nature of the problems currently facing not only Michigan, but the entire nation. He refers to four interrelated Challenges facing all of us: (1) equal opportunity for all, (2) U.S. competitiveness in world markets, (3) educational excellence, and (4) social problems and learning readiness. �Governor Romney went on to note that today, the United Sates is more threatened by its internal human and social problems than by any external enemy. Each of us, individually and within our groups, must contribute to finding permanent solutions to the problems that increasingly have a stranglehold on our society. Our response must begin with a serious. honest assessment of the terrible nature and scope of the problems which we face. Second, we must recognize the these problems transcend partisan boundaries.

Only by doing this can we rebuild the social fabric of our communities. Thus, it is vital that we engage citizens in effective community service. In order to do this we must provide them with the leadership, the infrastructure, and the models to do so. Governor Romney indicated that the Michigan Year of the Volunteer is in an excellent position to serve as a model for the nation. He quoted from a letter from President Bush to Frank Popoff of Dow Chemical "This campaign will have significance far beyond the Wolverine State. Indeed, as we plan a national program to increase the number, visibility, and effectiveness of volunteer centers across America, we will draw much insight from you methods and experience in Michigan." 3. Progress Re.port: At the request of the Co-Chairs, M. Lewis presented a brief report on the history of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, noting that the board of MNF had formally authorized the Coordinating Committee on Voluntarism as a committee of the Forum and authorized staff to provide necessary support services. M. Lewis reviewed the Committee's progress over the last year and current plans, as outlined in the Subcommittee Charts. She reported that Governor Engler will designate April1992-April1993 as the Year of the Volunteer. This effort has key, visible, bi-partisan and business support. Not only will it be a celebration of voluntarism, but it will also assist the development of a lasting infrastructure for sustained community service efforts. Therefore, it will build upon existing efforts in order to showcase and encourage future collaboration in the area of voluntarism. The committee then reviewed the purpose and goals for the Campaign for Voluntarism. After discussion, the committee adopted the following language: PURPOSE: TO PROMOTE VOLUNTARISM ACROSS THE STATE OF MICIDGAN AND TO CREATE A CLIMATE OF COMMITMENT TO VOLUNTEERING WHICH PERMEATES MICIDGAN'S LEADERSIDP, ITS INSTITUTIONS AND ITS COMMUNITIES. GOAL 1: Help to increase/improve the structures which support volunteerine in Micliiean's institutions and communities: especially VOLUNTEER CENTERS, but also including: school volunteer programs, college student volunteer bureaus, workplace volunteer councils and incentives, and many others. 2 �GOAL 2: Help to increase volunteerine. especially in the 35% of citizens who express willingness to volunteer but do not. M. Lewis described several commitments which have already been made as part of the Year of the Volunteer. They are as follows: the State Chamber will develop a series of CEO articles and interviews which promote voluntarism from a business perspective; the NSFRE chapters will link arms with other organizations to promote giving in new and innovative ways; and the MASA and the MASB will be working with COOL and the UWM to develop a Day of Caring in the Spring of '92 to build on COOL's successful Into the Streets program in November of 1991. 4. Re.port of the Michi~an Community Service Commission: M. Engler described the recently-created Governor's Commission on Community Service. The commission was created in response to the National and Community Service Act passed by Congress in 1990. Under the Act, states may apply for funds which will be made available for youth community service programs and efforts. The commission has met twice and will use the information which came out of the Youth Service Michigan meetings held during the summer of 1991. As it stands currently, the state has until mid-January to file a letter of intent, notifying the National Community Service Commission that the State of Michigan intends to file a state application. Under the Act, if a state chooses not to apply for funds, organizations within the state may then apply individually. M. Engler noted that the State of Michigan will definitely apply for funding. The deadline for the actual application will be in March, with the awards to follow in June of 1992. After discussion and a duly seconded motion, the committee unanimously agreed to draft a resolution of support for the Governor's Commission on Community Service's efforts to secure funding under the National Community Service Act. E. Blews will draft the resolution. 5. Report on Michigan Volunteer Centers: J. Blanchard reported on her informational visits to the existing volunteer centers around Michigan. J. Blanchard personally visited nine of the thirteen centers, and spoke with the directors of the others via telephone. During her meetings, she met with the directors of the centers and their staffs. She was briefed on the internal workings of the centers, their current and past projects. She noted that all centers are different, reflecting the personalities of their staffs and the communities which they serve. Without hesitation, she noted that the centers provide a tremendous service to their communities and to the State of Michigan, often with limited staff, financial resources, equipment and facilities. The directors and their staffs should be commended on their dedication, relentless energy, creativity and tireless service to the State. During her visits, J. Blanchard received several suggestions/recommendations on how the voluntary action centers could be strengthened. They are as follows: 3 �1. The volunteer centers need consultation and technical assistance in fundraising. 2. The volunteer centers need consultation and technical assistance in public relations. 3. The volunteer centers need assistance in how to generate press for events and how to get the cooperation of the local press. 4. The volunteer centers would benefit from a generic video and/or slide presentation for the centers to use to promote volunteerism. 5. The volunteer centers would benefit from a statewide speakers bureau for the volunteer centers. 6. The volunteer centers would benefit from grant writing seminars, and from assistance from local citizens with expertise in this area. 7. The volunteer centers would benefit from essential equipment to prepare them for the 21st century. 8. The volunteer centers would benefit from the assistance of a Michigan college or university to evaluate the affect of volunteerism on a community. 9. The Directors of the existing centers could serve as consultants for the new centers. 10. Foundations should be encouraged to fund projects for a longer period of time and then to decrease the grant award gradually. 11. This Volunteer Coalition could sponsor a conference on volunteerism in cooperation with the volunteer centers (A Vision for Volunteerism for the year 2000) or the Michigan Nonprofit Forum could add a voluntarism component to the grantmakers/grantseekers conference. [Such a program is already a regular part of the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar. The 1992 Seminar will kick off the Year of the Volunteer in April.] J. Blanchard also made the following general recommendations: 1. A targeted marketing program is needed to entice youth to volunteer. 2. Volunteerism needs more visibility. 3. Schools should include volunteering as a regular part of a student's education. 4 �4. State Government needs to take the lead in the area of voluntarism. Following J. Blanchard' report, S. Radtke presented a brief sketch on the functions of a well-developed volunteer center. She also discussed the mission of the newly created association, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM): "To strengthen existing volunteer centers; to provide leadership in developing new volunteer centers; and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide." S. Radtke then reviewed the list of existing volunteer centers, as well as the list of communities which are currently developing volunteer centers. A. Cantrell commented on the progress of these developing centers. He noted that, although they are all at various stages of the developmental process, in general they are proceeding very well. In fact, Holland and Muskegon should be operational in the very near future. S. Radtke also noted that nine of the existing volunteer centers have received a grant of computer equipment from ffiM. This new equipment will be in place shortly, and the United Way of Michigan will be providing staff training after the first of the year. 6. Action on General Recommendations: In light of J. Blanchard's recommendations, and the information presented by S. Radtke and A. Cantrell, the committee authorized the creation of a sub-committee to work with J. Blanchard and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. 7 . Small Group Discussions of Campaign Strate~es: The committee broke into 3 small groups and moved to their discussion areas. Each participant was asked: How can your organization/ network use this Campaign to advance your work in voluntarism? What activities are you already planning that can dovetail with the Campaign for greater impact? In what other ways can your organization help this Campaign through collaboration? 8. Reports of Small Groups and Discussion: Due to time constraints the committee agreed that the Co-Chairs would report to each other on the outcomes of their small group discussions. Following are brief summaries of those discussions: Small Group #1 : Group members discussed ways that schools, teachers, students and parents could be enlisted in the campaign. Members felt there should be a strong, initial statewide promotion, followed by a regional focus. Presentations to the regions could be made through the community colleges' down link system. A working/discussion session could follow for leaders 5 �within each region. Efforts should also be made to convene student body leaders from both private and public colleges to discuss the value of community service at the college level. In conjunction, the program should bring together current and future teachers to focus on community service and the role they can play in encouraging youth to volunteer. Small ~roup #2: Group members discussed ways that United Ways, voluntary action centers, and other organizations could benefit from the campaign. The group agreed that the state should be divided into coordinated regions. The Year of the Volunteer could focus on different topics each month to not only showcase voluntarism, but also to educated the general public about its vital importance. Towards this goal, the group discussed the possibility of recruiting executives from corporations to serve on the Committee for one year to head up the various working groups (such as promotion and PR, longrange planning and funding initiatives). Small Group #3: Group members discussed ways that business leaders, Rotaries, and other service clubs could be enlisted in the campaign, so that it advanced their service goals while assisting the overall campaign. A series of speakers at rotary and other service club meetings would be a constructive way to educate business leaders about and enlist their active leadership in their communities, particularly promoting workplace voluntarism. Many service clubs have their own yearly themes, which represent a potential connection with volunteer initiatives. The Campaign's publicity should reach in-house journals, so that companies can showcase their employees who participate in the campaign. In addition to the Chambers, Rotaries and retired executives now represented, this group should reach out to Kiwanis, Lions, Jaycees and many others. Each member of the group took responsibility for tracking down the names for this effort. 9. Campai2n Strategy: Next Steps and Assignments: M. Lewis asked all committee members to fill out their work group sign-up sheet so that work groups can be identified and begin to meet. Staff will work to develop these work groups. 10. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 12:10 p.m. 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Goal #1 HELP TO INCREASFJIMPROVE THE STRUCTURES WHICH SUPPORT VOLUNTEERING IN MICHIGAN'S INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITIES, especially Volunteer Centers but also including: School volunteer programs, College student volunteer bureaus, Workplace volunteer councils and incentives, Retired senior volunteer programs, and many others. Goal #2 HELP TO INCREASE VOLUNTEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE 35% OF CITIZENS WHO EXPRESS WILLINGNESS TO VOLUNTEER BUT DO NOT. During this Year of the Volunteer, several statewide efforts will seek to augment existing local activities: -- Governor George Romney, Janet Blanchard, Michelle Engler and other highvisibility leaders in the Campaign will visit targeted communities throughout the state, to meet with local leadership in government, business and the nonprofit sector, to urge comprehensive, collaborative planning for effectively tapping and using volunteer energies to solve local problems. Gov. Romney, for example, will be accompanied by knowledgeable business leaders and experts, and will leave local leaders with packets of the best available rationales, data and how-to materials, compiled for this Campaign by the National Volunteer Center. -- These visits will be followed by technical assistance from expert networks throughout the state, such as the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the Michigan Corporate Volunteer Council, Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators, Michigan School Volunteer Program, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan �Community Service Commission, and others. Assistance will be focused on establishing or strengthening the infrastructure that supports volunteering (such as local Volunteer Centers, school volunteer programs, and retired senior volunteer programs). -- Simultaneously, a statewide media campaign will showcase volunteer efforts and publicize a new (800) number where a person can call, in order to be referred to local volunteer coordinators who can place them in a satisfying service experience. The (800) number will be operated through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, which will work with Campaign collaborating organizations such as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum to coordinate the statewide media campaign. attached: List of Campaign Committee Members ref:3/5/92,mvcexcc.sum,prglmvc,6300 �Campaign for Volunteerism Michigan Year of the Volunteer Outline of Responsibilities Role of the CO-CHAIRS OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITIEE 1.

Article for the Michie;an State Chamber of Commerce (March 5, 1992) BUSINFSS SUPPORTS VOLUNTEERING The Michigan State Chamber of Commerce has joined with leadership from business, government and the nonprofit sector to mount the Michigan Year of the Volunteer/Campaign for Voluntarism, which will kick off on Apri124, 1992 at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. Former Governor George W. Romney serves as Honorary Chair and initiated the planning process for this statewide Campaign. He enlisted the joint leadership of Campaign Chairman Frank Popoff, CEO of Dow Chemical, and Co-Chairs Mrs. Michelle Engler and Mrs. Janet Blanchard. During the past year, Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. Engler have visited communities across the state to learn how communities are already enlisting volunteers to solve social problems, and to plan an agenda for statewide voluntary action. A key focus of the Campaign will be business leadership in promoting voluntarism in every community. Governor Romney has pointed out that, "Today the State of Michigan is more threatened by its internal human and social problems than it is by any external enemy. Fortunately, Americans are joining with their co-workers, fellow church and club members, and neighbors to find ways to make a difference in the lives of those in need. But thousands more Michigan citizens must be called into service to extend the lifeline of hope and opportunity to those being swept up in the tide of social distress." In his view, business is in a key position to mobilize communities throughout the state -- impelled not only by their civic duty but for their bare survival in these difficult times! Governor Romney, Mr. Popoff, Mrs. Engler and Mrs. Blanchard will be joined in this Campaign by dozens of statewide organizations and networks, including the State Chamber of Commerce, the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, Rotary International, the Michigan Corporate Volunteer Council, the Retired Senior Volunteer Corps, Urban Leagues of Michigan, the Executive Service Corps, and the United Way of Michigan. Together, these organizations will collaborate with local communities to mount a publicity and promotion campaign throughout the state, with these goals: TO PROMOTE VOLUNTEERING ACROSS THE STATE, AND TO CREATE A CLIMATE OF COMMITMENT TO VOLUNTEERING �WHICH PERMEATES MICIDGAN'S LEADERSHIP, ITS INSTITUTIONS, AND ITS COMMUNITIES. Goal #1: HELP TO INCREASFJIMPROVE THE STRUCTURES WHICH SUPPORT VOLUNTEERING IN MICIDGAN'S INSTITUTIONS AND CO:MMUNITIFS, especially Volunteer Centers but also including: Workplace volunteer councils and incentives, School volunteer programs, College student volunteer bureaus, Retired senior volunteer programs, and many others. Goal #2: HELP TO INCREASE VOLUNTEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE 35% OF CITIZENS WHO EXPRESS WILLINGNESS TO VOLUNTEER BUT DO NOT. This is a monumental task, and it can only be accomplished with the assistance and creative action of a multitude of partners. But the Campaign 1 s Coordinating Committee comprises the beginnings of just such a network. The Michigan Year of the Volunteer/Campaign for Voluntarism is unique in the nation. In fact, Chairman Frank Popoff recently received a letter of congratulations from President George Bush, who wrote: "By agreeing to help promote voluntarism in your state, you have donated your time and energy to a very worthwhile cause. Volunteers represent one of our Nation Is greatest resources and one of our most effective answers to the social problems that plague our communities - problems that, if left unsolved, will undermine American education and competitiveness." As a Trustee of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum - an alliance to promote giving, volunteering and an effective nonprofit sector in Michigan -- Governor Romney enlisted MNF to be the staff agency during the Campaign 1 s startup. So if you want to enlist your members in this Campaign, you can get details by contacting: Maryellen I.

Romney DATE: February 18, 1992 For your information-I expect to make an appointment with Senator Kennedy at an early date. His confirmation on the interrelationship between social problems and competitiveness is significant. Also, the importance this gives to both the commission and foundation is important. It makes what we are doing in Michigan through the Year of the Volunteer a more-needed testing of the methods that can be used nationally. Governor George W. Romney ref:rom20218.mem\programs\mvc\mjt Encl: Letter to Senator Kennedy dated January 28, 1992 Letter from Senator Kennedy dated February 6, 1992 �FEB 18 '92 11 : 14 P.1 ,/ ) J . :'),.,-....., ~ ·.... . _ .... ~ ; l ~ ~ , .

Gangs, homicides, drugs , crime, extreme pockets ot poverty, a growing unaerclass, illiteracy and inadequately educated citizens are already producing uhuns and vandals 11 and social and economic cripples at a tastGr rate than most wars and diseases includinq polio. We must reverse our declining competitiveness or these social problems will increase not di~inish. Reversing them depends most of all on national, state and community leadership, both public and private, recognizing it is a must task above partisanship. During the last Michigan Election Governor Blanchard and his Republican cpponent recoqnized this and joined during their fierce campaign with private leadership and all former Governors to organize a program to involve all citizens and institutions in the direct volunteer consequential community service required to surmount Michigan's vitally serious problems. rt will commence on April 24th at a statewide conference. similar bi-partisan national leadership is essential. The most newsworthy and effective time tor it is during the existing Presidential Campaign not afterward. Congress and the President joined in creating the Commission on National and community service and the Points of Light Foundation to help them do it. Th~ Commission and Foundation are working now to develop the collaboration you ana others Senators encouraged. This is the first time in history Congressional and Presidential leaaership has acted to strengthen volunteer community service across the nation. It would help for the nation to know it. The attached memoranda explains how to do it. It depends on you personally doing what governor Blanchard did. He and his wife are continuing to do what they can in Michigan. Could I meet with you at your earliest convenience to explain further. Perhaps afterwards you may want to include some colleagues. Your leadership and statesmanship in this is as necessary as Senator Vandenbergs' was in forging a bi-partisan foreign policy. It will impact most before next falls election regardless of how it comes out and will help eff~ctuate President Kennedy's famous admonition. �FEB 18 '92 11: 15 P.2 Page Two Senator Kennedy I will come to Washington at anytime. The suggastad convening of a national coalition and consortium is vital to combating our greatest internal threat since the civil War. Lincoln said we would never be destroyed rrom without but only from within. John steil!lbeck wrote, "No great nation ever achieved plenty, comfort and leisure and remained great." We have achieved these more than Britain or any previous great nation. Your leadership and statesmanship is key in making the Commission and Foundation successful in doing what has never been done before. With profound concern and hope, George Romney �FEB 18 '92 11 : 15 , P.3 IDWMD Ill. UNHIOV MASSACMUSI'I'r1 ~ou.N ~I()Mt riU.IIIIOOl I5I,.UIO OMN G HATCH. UTAH IIOWAI!rllll. W~. OHIO NANCY~ UI&DAW.

I could not agree with you more that we must take significant steps toward solving society' s critical problems. Homelessness, illiteraCy, drug abuse, crime, and poveny contribute to our declining competitiveness, and threaten America's position in the global economy. Moreover, these probleins have fat reaching consequences and ultimately effect the quality of life of all our fellow citizens. It is also my belief that national and community service is an excellent way to begin to reverse these negative trends. Through the work: of the National Service Commission and the Points of Light Foundation (POLF). we can renew the spirit of servin~ others and the commitment to community which have made America strong throughout our history. As the only person to sit on the Board of Directors of both the Commission and the Foundation you are in an especially unique position to address these challenges and guide this mission. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss this matter funher. Please be in contact with Christopher Murphy of my staff to set something up for the next time you will be in Washington. Cluis can be reached at (202) 224-5437. Sincerely, Edward M. Kennedy �RESOLUTION WHEREAS the American traditions of voluntarism and community service have become recognized goals of public education; and WHEREAS there is now strong evidence of the educational value of structured student service experiences; and WHEREAS opportunities for establishing community partnerships for student community service are greater now than at any time in the past, due in part to the work of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum* to launch a two-year statewide Campaign for Voluntarism (beginning April24, 1992) and the creation of the Michigan Community Service Commission; and WHEREAS a rapidly increasing number of Michigan communities have Voluntary Action Centers, which serve as cost-effective brokers for volunteers and represent an invaluable resource for student community service programs; THEREFORE the Michigan Association of School Boards urges local boards of education to provide opportunities for and encourage voluntary student community service. *MASB is founding member of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum - an alliance to promote giving, volunteering and a strong, effective nonprofit sector in this state. ref:4/8/92,kin20408.txt,programa/mvc,6300 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Box 23206 • Lansing, MI 48909 • (517) 694-1422 Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Trustees Michigan Nonprofit Forum East Lansing, Michigan We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Michigan Nonprofit Forum (a nonprofit corporation) as of June 30, 1991 and the related statements of support, revenue, expense and changes in fund balance and functional expense for the period from inception (November 15, 1990) through June 30, 1991. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Michigan Nonprofit Forum as of June 30, 1991 and the results of its operations and changes in fund balance for the period from inception (November 15, 1990) through June 30, 1991 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. / -/- / i _, / 4' /) ~ ;~(!. /~A£-.-/ ~ . /I CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS January 7, 1992 Lansing, Michigan �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BALANCE SHEET JUNE 30, 1991 Current Operating Fund Equipment Fund Total ASSETS cash Accounts receivable Prepaid expenses Office furniturejequipment, net of accumulated depreciation of $833 $ 65,710 $ $ 3,34~ 204 18,317 $ 69,263 $ $ 7,873 1,377 $ 18,317 65,710 3,349 204 18,317 $ 87,580 $ 7,873 1,377 LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCE LIABILITIES Accounts payable Accrued vacation Accrued payroll taxes and withholdings Total Liabilities FUND BALANCE 804 804 10,054 10,054 18,317 59,209 $ 69,263 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2 $ 18,317 77,526 $ 87,580 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM STATEMENT OF SUPPORT, REVENUE, EXPENSE AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 Current Operating Fund PUBLIC SUPPORT AND REVENUE Public Support: Grant allocations Contributions In-kind donation Program fees $ Total Public Support Revenue: Interest income Publication income Miscellaneous Total Revenue Total Public Support and Revenue 70,142 11,870 2,401) 37,190 Equipment Fund $ Total $ 70,142 11,870 2,400 37,190 121,602 121,602 3,475 729 3,592 3,475 729 3,592 7,796 7,796 129,398 129,398 EXPENSE Program Services: Philanthropy Voluntarism Education and public awareness Capacity building Evaluation 65,592 15,976 7,202 6,198 770 425 158 175 25 66,017 16,134 7,377 6,223 770 Total Program Services 95,738 783 96,521 Support Services: Administration 10,935 50 10,985 Total Expense 106,673 833 107,506 Excess (Deficiency) of Public Support and Revenue over Expense 22,725 OTHER CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES Initial transfer of grant assets Equipment acquisition FUND BALANCE AT END OF PERIOD (833) 6,294 12,856 49,340 (12,856} $ 59,209 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 $ 18,317 $ 21,892 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSE PERIOO FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 Support Services Program Services EXPENSE Compensation Benefits end taxes Contract services Professional services Office supplies Copying Subscription end publication Postage end shipping Telephone end networks Steff perking Meetings, meals end eccomnodetions Travel Organizational dues Participation fees Equipment rental Occupancy Insurance Miscellaneous $ 11,847 1'788 2,809 2,m 1 '911 2,816 1,629 1,251 1,156 199 $ $ $ 3,256 478 $ 4,562 593 $ 665 91 168 740 215 212 465 41 24 106 166 230 66 35 4 8 815 15 122 153 680 260 3 290 84 3 456 504 72 65,592 15,976 7,202 6,198 425 158 175 25 64 447 441 83 60 2,690 1,224 Depreciation 11,228 1,460 168 669 31,822 1,615 Total Expense Before Depreciation Total Expense Capacity Building Evaluation Education end Ph I l anth r o12:t Voluntarism PublIc Awareness 66,017 $ 16,134 $ 7,377 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 4 s 6,223 Total $ 4 770 $ 770 s Acininistretion 31,558 4,410 2,809 2,m 2,271 4,331 2,078 2,140 2,128 362 $ 5,613 873 Total s 550 659 211 317 491 132 92 37' 171 5, 283 2,809 3,325 2,930 4,542 2,395 2,631 2,260 454 31 '983 3,373 15 559 2,690 2,256 696 595 144 225 313 32,679 3,968 15 583 2,690 2,400 225 313 95,738 10,935 106,673 783 50 833 96,521 24 $ 10,985 $ 107,506 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 1. ORGANIZATION 2. Michigan Nonprofit Forum ("the Forum") is a nonprofit corporation organized to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the State of Michigan . • SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of the significant generally accepted accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Forum have been prepared on the accrual basis. To insure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the Forum, the accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. The assets, liabilities, and fund balances of the Forum are reported in two separate funds as follows: Current Operating Fund - includes the operating assets and liabilities of the Forum. Equipment Fund - includes the property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation. Equipment Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Income Taxes The Forum has applied for exemption from income tax under Section These financial 501(c) (3} of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. statements have been prepared on the premise that the Forum's application will be accepted. Functional Expense Allocation Expenses identified as applying to a specific program or support service are recorded in the appropriate service area as incurred. Expenses not directly attributable to a program or support service are allocated between service areas based upon percentages formulated by management through a review of representative expense accounts. 5 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD FROM INCEPTION {NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 (CONTINUED) 3. IN-KIND DONATIONS During the period ended June 30, 1991, the Forum received in-kind donations of office space and administrative services (ie: payroll, accounting, etc.). The donat1on of office space and the offsetting occupancy expense are reflected in the financial statements. Because the dollar amount of administrative services was not readily ascertainable it is not reflected in the financial statements. 4. GRANT CONTRACT Formal responsibility for a grant contract, issued by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, was transferred from another nonprofit organization to the Forum as of January 1, 1991. The net assets accumulated from the beginning project date (June 1, 1990) through December 31, 1990, consisting of cash, office furniture/equipment and deferred grant revenue, were transferred to the Forum's possession and have been recognized in the statement of support, revenue, expense and changes in fund balance as initial transfer of assets. 6 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM (A nonprofit corporation) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990} THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was agreed that such a document should build upon and flow from rather than reinvent efforts to develop such a program at the National level and then integrate unique Michigan perspectives for use within this state. A task force consisting of Edward Blews, Chair, Joyce Brown, Sister Monica Kostielney, Maryellen Lewis, Linda Patterson and Herbert Yamanishi w.as formed. The national organization, "Independent Sector" is developing such a national statement, "The WorJr of the Volunteer Sector" through a steering group organized into eight sub sector groups: arts, dvU and human rights, education, environment, health, public offidal, religion and social welfare. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum's Executive Director Maryellen Lewis and Public Policy Committee Chair Edward Blews have discussed this process and the opportunity for Michigan inputs with Independent Sector Vice President Robert Smucker. In view of the Independent Sector process, it makes much sense to coordinate the Michigan White Paper time frame with the Independent Sector process. RECOMMENDATION FOR MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM PROCESS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE, THROUGH ITS TASK FORCE APPOINTED FOR THIS PURPOSE, ENDORSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHITE PAPER STATEMENT IN THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT SECTOR THROUGH A PROCESS PARALLELING AND UTILIZING THE WORK BEING DONE ON A SIMILAR NATIONAL STATEMENT BY THE INDEPENDENT SEC.TOR.

MNF Public Policy Committee Subcommittee to Develop a "White Paper" on Michigan's Nonprofit Sector (appointed April 4, 1991) Edward Blews, Chair Joyce Brown Sr. Monica Kostielney Maryellen Lewis Linda Patterson Herbert Yamanishi ref: cm/publpol, 6400 �Independent Sector Nonprofit Criteria Project Draft 5/30/91 THE ROLE OF THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR The Voluntary Sector Defined. From its birth, America has been greatly enriched by the strength of its voluntary sector. So diverse that we often lose sight of its underlying unity, the voluntary sector comprises those ·non-commercial, nongovernmental organizations committed to advancing the public good. All operate as nonprofits, subject to a fundamental legal ban on private benefit. Controlled by volunteer boards, their assets irrevocably dedicated to public purposes, the organizations of the voluntary sector are, in a very real sense, owned by the public. They pursue a broad range of public service activities, grouped in this report under eight heads: Arts, civic and Human Rights·, Education, Environment, Health, Public Affairs, Religion, and Social Welfare . . The Size of the Voluntary Sector . . The most recent comprehensive estimates show that in ~987, the approximately 907,000 organizations of the voluntary sector employed approximately ~0% of the total work force, as compared with 7~% in the business ·sector and ~8% in government. Voluntary sector organizations had total financial support of $327 billion, of which roughly 27% was from contributions, 26% from government support, and 39% from fees and dues. This financial support was powerfully supplemented by nearly 90 million volunteers, who provided an estimated 14.8 billion hours of service, with an estimated value of $80 billion. The Contribution of the Voluntary Sector. While these data provide some sense of the sector's size, they do not provide a true measure of its importance in American life. This must be understood, instead, in terms of the important social and cultural values that the sector embodies and sustains. As leaders from other countries increasingly recognize, much of what is best in the American character is nurtured by, and finds expression through, the voluntary sector. · , J : Givinq, service, and community. The voluntary sector affirms that each person has a basic moral obligation to care for and serve others. This comm.unitarian ethic is a critical counterweight to the individualism of the free market. By challenging people to give time and money for the public good, voluntary organizations do much to create the fundamental sense of community without which business and government could not function. 1 dissent, Pluralism. The voluntary sector affirms the value of diversity.and champions t .h e rights of women and minorities, and prov~des a structure through which individuals and groups are encouraged to act on their own values and beliefs about the public good. The sector thus allows P...merican society to address, through voluntary action, myriad public problems on which the majority consensus required for governmental action does not exist. Discussion Draft - Not f or General Circulation �,. ; I j j civic Participation. The voluntary sector encourages c~v~c participation and advocacy in the public interest. By providing the principal means and inspiration for individuals to join together to advocate for positive social change, the sector sustains and renews our democratic process. Development o~ Human Potential. The voluntary sector affirms the dignity and WOrth Of each person 1 and the importance to both the individual and society ot encouraging the fullest development of human potential. The sector embodies America's commitment to excellence in education, scholarship, research, and artistic expression. Voluntary organizations also affirm the importance in human development of strong 'families, sound health, a healthy environment, and positive moral character. compassionate Response to RUman Need. The :voluntary sector calls upon society to respond compassionately to persons in need. As America's social conscience, voluntary · organizations mobilize community resources to care tor the poor, the sick and disabled, the elderly and others with special needs, both here and around the world. Faith. The religious organizations of the voluntary sector encourage persons in their search for meaning and purpose through religious faith, and provide for the practical expression of faith through a broad range of charitable enterprises. Religious organizations play a crucial role in sustaining the values of justice, compassion, and service. The Volun:tarv sector • s Relation to Government, Business, and the lie. Absent the voluntary sector, neither gove.r nment nor business could stain these values, and yet · both are critically dependent upon them. th government and business, and, indeed, every American, thus have a ndamental interest in ·preserving a strong voluntary sector. As a first step toward this goal, it is important that both business governmental leaders, and the public, have a deeper understanding of, involvement with the voluntary sector. Beyond this. it is important that government: (l) preserve charitable exemption and contribution deduction rules that provide full support r tl1e, full range of voluntary sector organizations, ( 2) encourage the a vocacy efforts of voluntary organizations, (3) respect the voluntary s ctor's need for independence and the limits of the voluntary sector's f · nancial resources, and ( 4) develop partnerships with the voluntary sector t at reflect the sector's unique ability to mobilize community resources a d adapt to the needs of diverse communities. · Likewise, it is imoortant that business: (l) provide strong financial s pport for the voluntary sector, (2) encourage employees to give time and ney to support voluntary organizations, and (3) understand and support e appropriate role of earned income activities by voluntary o ganizations. Finally, it is important that every American accept the r sponsibility of service, and, through gifts of time and money, sustain a d extend the uniquely American tradition of volunteer response to public eds.

[Not Yet Adopted] MINUTES of the Public Policy and Program Committees JOINT PLANNING MEETING October 18, 1991 -- 9:30 to 1:00 p.m. Kellogg Center, Room 107, East Lansing, Michigan TRUSTEES PRESENT: GUESTS PRESENT: STAFF PRESENT: Edward O. Blews, Jr., Co-chair Helen C. Philpott, Co-chair Robert E. Ivory Gerard Keidel Linda Patterson Anne Rosewarne Herbert Yamanishi Darin Day Terry Langston Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With Co-chairs E. Blews and H. Philpott present, the meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Review of the Minutes. The committee reviewed the minutes of the July 26, 1991 joint meeting of the public policy and program committees. Following a motion duly seconded, the minutes were unanimously approved. 3. Report of the Executive Director: M. Lewis reported on the progress of MNF during its first year. In this overview, she emphasized the present opportunity for Trustees to revisit MNF's mission and the commitments established by the board, and to use the Year 1 experience to set priorities for Year 2. It is now possible and necessary to clarify a solid identity for the Forum, for the future. Her report was organized on the basis of these commitments made by the Trustees in the original proposal to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation: A. That MNF would promote dialogue on cross-sector issues; �B. That MNF would share information on the sector, to promote greater public understanding and commitment; C. That MNF would clarify public policy issues related to the sector as a whole; D. That MNF would work to increase the capacity of the sector; and E. That MNF would create an operating organization to accomplish these goals. A synopsis of the report of the executive director is attached. As a matter of record, the Co-chairs and the committee thanked M. Lewis for her excellent report and her fine leadership on behalf of MNF during its crucial startup year. The committee also asked M. Lewis to send a synopsis to the committee chairpersons, who will send it to members who were unable to attend today's meeting. E. Blews also discussed MNF's position in opposition to standards governing nonprofits which have been proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) as further evidence of MNF's impact. The proposed standards would erode financial support for nonprofits, create administrative and valuation burdens and in general distort the financial picture of nonprofits. In light of the information FASB has received, such as MNF's opposition statement, it is re-evaluating the standards. 4. Discussion of a Framework of Guiding Principles for MNF's Work: Chairman Blews proposed that, in order for MNF to establish priorities for the upcoming year, a set of guiding principles would provide a useful framework. Preliminary discussions between the co-chairs and the executive director produced a discussion draft of principles, which committee members had received in advance of the meeting. After lengthy discussion the committee unanimously approved seven Guiding Principles. Further, the committee recommends to the board the adoption of these Principles, from which MNF public policy and program goals will flow. The Principles, listed in priority order, are as follows: A. The future of Michigan's quality of life depends on the commitment of its citizens and future citizens to the values of the nonprofit sector. Therefore it is in the best interest of the sector and the state to actively encourage voluntary giving and service. B. The service of the nonprofit sector to the public depends on an interactive partnership between service providers, funders, policy makers and the public. The Michigan nonprofit community should promote constructive dialogue among all these parties. C. In order to assist in re-educating the public and public leaders with concrete evidence of the PUBLIC BENEFIT of the nonprofit sector, the �Michigan nonprofit community should encourage and undertake studies of its many unique benefits provided to the community at large. D. Michigan's nonprofit sector should define and aspire to the highest management standards of ethics, efficiency, and accountability, while preserving its historic and essential independence. E. The Michigan nonprofit community should develop the rationale for tax exemption (rather than waiting for it to emerge from the pattern of decisions by government officials) and then play an active role in encouraging Michigan's leadership ~ including elected officials — to embrace it. F. The Michigan nonprofit community should encourage positive public policies and incentives to promote giving to and the vitality of the nonprofit sector. G. The Michigan nonprofit sector should take an active role in shaping statewide regulations and rulings that define clear, consistent interpretations and applications for purposes of tax exemption. [ADJOURN TO THE CORNICHE ROOM FOR A WORKING LUNCH] 5. Update and Discussion of the First MNF Summit in January/February 1992: M. Lewis reviewed the previous work of the joint committees on the summit, which will focus on the changing partnership between the nonprofit sector, government and the private sector. Keynote Speaker. The committee discussed the importance of a keynote speaker who is able to articulate the ongoing, multi-dimensional relationship which exists between the nonprofit, private and public sectors. M. Lewis reported that R. Mawby had offered to approach John Gardner, founder of Common Cause and founding president of Independent Sector. The joint committees agreed unanimously that Mr. Gardner would be ideal, and asked M. Lewis to enlist R. Mawby's help in securing him as the speaker at MNF's first summit. In the event that Mr. Gardner is not available, the committee agreed that Elizabeth Dole of the American Red Cross would be an exceptional speaker. Roundtable Participants. As originally conceived, the roundtable will include 15-18 participants with a moderator and speaker(s). Another 30-40 selected persons will form an outer circle as audience, participating in a formal question-and-answer period after the roundtable discussion. The committee noted that this summit is the first in a series, designed to educate audiences across the state, and also to enlighten the invited participants over the long term. The roundtable participants will be selected to include senior level individuals who are in a position to influence policy, organizational actions and conceptual visions. Participants will be carefully chosen to promote lively and informed, as well as balanced, discussion. These preliminary names were suggested: Mariam Noland, �Executive Director, Community Foundation of Southeastern Michigan; Joseph Bianco, President of the Detroit Institute of Art; Douglas Roberts, State Treasurer; Father Cunningham of Detroit; and several MNF Trustees. Committee members reemphasized that the focus of the summit will be on structural changes and their implications, and that the discussion will be grounded in specifics, not purely abstract. The aim will be to achieve a new understanding of and renewed commitment to the nonprofit sector and its mission of voluntary provision of public goods. Moderator. In choosing a moderator for the roundtable discussion, the committee noted the importance of selecting an individual who is committed to achieving a common understanding of the value of the nonprofit sector as it serves public needs. This is absolutely necessary in order to keep the panelists and the agenda on track. The moderator must be a thought-provoking individual who will encourage the panelists to engage in an enlightening and challenging debate. Cochairperson H. Philpott suggested and the committee agreed that Edward O. Blews, Jr., President of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan would be an ideal moderator. E. Blews, being present, tentatively agreed to moderate the panel discussion, pending program development. Subcommittee to Follow Up. Given the time constraints, the chairs agreed to appoint a sub-committee to continue working on the details of the summit. This subcommittee is made up of E. Blews, H. Philpott, K. Gruber, D. Johnson (represented by L. Patterson), S. Johns-Boehme, M. Lewis and H. Yamanishi. 6. Adjournment.

[Not Yet Adopted] Minutes of the Executive Committee Meeting October 8, 1991 -- 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. (Kellogg Center, Vista Room, East Lansing, MI) Trustees Present: N. Charles Anderson Edward O. Blews, Jr. Barbara K. Goldman Robert E. Ivory John S. Lore Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Glenn R. Stevens Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With the Chair present, the meeting was called to order at 3:15 p.m. 2. Review of the Minutes: The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the August 6, 1991 Executive Committee meeting. 3. Committee Reports: A. Budget/Finance Committee: In the absence of Chairman R. Ivory and at his request, M. Lewis presented the report of the Finance Committee. She noted the 1990-91 annual financial statement, which was approved at the August 6 Executive Committee Meeting. Then she reviewed the 1991-92 first quarterly report, which includes a revised 1991-92 proposed budget. The revisions recommended by the Finance Committee include adjustments to account for previously unbudgeted income (primarily from interest, reimbursements and unanticipated member contributions). The recommendations from the Finance Committee (attached) included: 1. The approval of $1500 for staff development. 2. The approval of $2500 for equipment to cover the costs of a postage meter, a car phone, and repairs on equipment currently owned by the Forum. 3. The approval of $3500 for MNF's first audit. �4. The approval of $2750 for rent and $466.35 for parking, in order to anticipate real costs of adequate office space and utilities. 5. The approval of $3150 for miscellaneous expenses in anticipation of the cost of Director and Officers Liability. After discussion and a motion duly seconded, the quarterly report and adjusted 199192 budget were adopted unanimously. Additionally, the Finance Committee recommended that the current ceiling on checks without co-signature ($1000) be raised to $2000. M.Lewis noted that, now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling has proven to be awkward and time-consuming. Following a motion duly seconded, the new proposed ceiling was adopted unanimously. B. Audit: G. Stevens reported that KPMG Peat Marwick completed an audit of MNF's first seven months, through its audit of the United Way of Michigan for 1990. KPMG is currently reviewing the remaining MNF fiscal data in order to provide MNF with a quote on a full-year audit. C. Membership/Nominating Committee: L. Young reported on the Membership Committee's meeting earlier that afternoon. He discussed the development of the DRAFT MNF brochure, which will be used not only to invite and encourage additional memberships, but also to disseminate information on MNF. In reviewing the brochure, the committee stressed the importance of outlining and clarifying membership benefits as MNF continues to campaign for members. The committee also made note of minor language and design changes. The committee also reviewed the list of potential Network Associates and the comments and suggestions which had been received from MNF Trustees. Staff will continue to work with Trustees, especially the Michigan League for Human Services, to further define the membership mailing list. Further, the committee decided a successful membership campaign will need the personal appeal of MNF's Trustees behind it. The first phase of the campaign will involve mailing out the brochure with a cover letter from individual MNF Trustees who have knowledge of the targeted organization (planned for November). Staff will provide the Trustees with a sample form letter which can be personally modified by each Trustee. Trustees will follow-up this written communication with a personal phone call approximately two weeks after the brochure is mailed. The second phase of the campaign will begin in January with an evaluation of the efforts to date and a second, broader mailing. As a benefit of membership, organizations will receive discounts on MNF events. This second mailing could be timed to arrive prior to the registration period for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV, thus providing potential members with a natural incentive to join MNF immediately. �The Executive Committee reviewed and discussed this information and agreed that it should be reviewed by the full board at the October 28, 1991 meeting for formal ratification. Nominations, L. Young discussed the resignation of Helen Milliken from the Board of Trustees for health reasons and recommended on behalf of the membership committee that Elizabeth Upjohn be named as an At-Large Member of MNF. The executive committee agreed that R. Mawby would discuss this proposition with Elizabeth Upjohn on behalf of MNF. On behalf of the membership committee, L. Young recommended that MNF's current officers remain in office for a second term. The committee also discussed the need to identify future officers and committee chairs so that they may become familiar with the responsibilities associated with these positions. The full Board of Trustees will be presented with these nominating recommendations on October 28, 1991. D. Program and Public Policy Committees: E. Blews reviewed the joint work of the program and public policy committees. Work continues on the summit planned for January 1992. MNF invited Janne Gallagher, author of the Independent Sector's White Paper on the nonprofit sector, to attend the next joint program/public policy committee meeting, however, she will be unable to attend. E. Blews will therefore meet her in Washington in the near future. E. Blews also discussed a framework to guide the program and public policy committees' work in the future. This framework includes: 1. Constructing the meetings as formal FORUMS — events which bring together leadership from across the sector to learn from one another, address shared issues and develop agendas. 2. Developing a larger public policy agenda, to put specific issues in perspective and give MNF a framework for considering those issues; thus creating a proactive versus reactive environment. 3. Identification of the tangible and intangible benefits nonprofits provide their communities as concrete evidence of PUBLIC BENEFIT, to assist in reeducating the public and public leaders. 4. Seeking rulings from local, state, and federal bodies which clarify and define the nonprofit sector This framework will allow MNF to generate a series of policy papers and tapes which can be used through MNF's networks across the state and structured into regional/local roundtables, in effect, to create a curriculum for enlightening key audiences across the state. �E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers IV Program Committee: J. Lore reviewed the work of the GGIV program committee. The theme for this year's conference will be "Living our Mission: Meeting our Public' s Needs. " The program structure is as follows: 8:00 9:00 9:45 10:00 12:00 1:30 1:45 3:00 1:45 - 9:00 - 9:45 - 10:00 — 11:45 - 1:30 - 1:45 - 2:45 — 4:00 — 4:00 Qmnvy Bpea* XOVXVPPEVT Eeaatova (5) ctvb Xov\vpp£vr aeaaiova (3 = lyp, ~X.ov\vpp£vT vsoowva (2 = 2 f\pa wiXX xo&zp laavza ov notvotySfjiSVT, TOoXwrapto/i, opyavi£aTLOva\ jSpOttS TTU/ , TO voipe a Keynote Speaker. J. Lore emphasized that the keynote speaker sets the tone for the entire conference. The opening session needs a charismatic, thoughtprovoking speaker who is in-tune with the independent sector, someone of prominence and broad-based appeal. For the first three years the opening speaker has been a male. This year the GGIV program committee would like to invite a female to be the opening speaker. Two names under consideration are Elizabeth Dole and Marian Wright Edelman. 4, Discussion of the Annual Meeting and Priorities for 1991-92: Due to time constraints, R. Mawby and M. Lewis suggested that the committee postpone the report of the Executive Director and the preliminary executive review so that they could concentrate on the discussion of the annual meeting and priorities for 1991-92. After discussion, the committee agreed that priority setting should be the main focus of the annual meeting. Trustees should evaluate and identify immediate, annual and long term goals of the Forum. M. Lewis reviewed preliminary plans to incorporate breakout sessions in which trustees would be able to discuss and evaluate MNF's priorities for 1991-92. The committee noted that it would be helpful for trustees to have the list of proposed priorities in advance of the October 28, 1991 meeting. Staff will work to incorporate the survey process into the annual meeting format. 5. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: �Edward O.

Minutes of the Executive Committee Meeting October 8, 1991 - 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. (Kellogg Center, Vista Room, East Lansing, MI) NOT YET ADOPTED Trustees Present: N. Charles Anderson Edward O. Slews, Jr. Barbara K. Goldman Robert E. Ivory John S. Lore Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Glenn R. Stevens Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With the Chair present, the meeting was called to order at 3:15 p.m. 2. Review of the Minutes: The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the August 6, 1991 Executive Committee meeting. 3. Committee Reports: A. Budget/Finance Committee: In the absence of Chairman R. Ivory and at his request, M. Lewis presented the report of the Finance Committee. She noted the 1990-91 annual financial statement, which was approved at the August 6 Executive Committee Meeting. Then she reviewed the 1991-92 first quarterly report, which includes a revised 1991-92 proposed budget. The revisions recommended by the Finance Committee include adjustments to account for previously unbudgeted income (primarily from interest, reimbursements and unanticipated member contributions). The recommendations from the Finance Committee (attached) included: 1. The approval of $1500 for staff development. 2. The approval of $2500 for equipment to cover the costs of a postage meter, a car phone, and repairs on equipment currently owned by the Forum. 3. The approval of $3500 for MNF's first audit. �4. The approval of $2750 for rent and $466.35 for parking, in order to anticipate real costs of adequate office space and utilities. 5. The approval of $3150 for miscellaneous expenses in anticipation of the cost of Director and Officers Liability. After discussion and a motion duly seconded, the quarterly report and adjusted 199192 budget were adopted unanimously. Additionally, the Finance Committee recommended that the current ceiling on checks without co-signature ($1000) be raised to $2000. M.Lewis noted that, now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling has proven to be awkward and time-consuming. Following a motion duly seconded, the new proposed ceiling was adopted unanimously. B. Audit: G. Stevens reported that KPMG Peat Marwick completed an audit of MNF's first seven months, through its audit of the United Way of Michigan for 1990. KPMG is currently reviewing the remaining MNF fiscal data in order to provide MNF with a quote on a full-year audit. C. Membership/Nominating Committee: L. Young reported on the Membership Committee's meeting earlier that afternoon. He discussed the development of the DRAFT MNF brochure, which will be used not only to invite and encourage additional memberships, but also to disseminate information on MNF. In reviewing the brochure, the committee stressed the importance of outlining and clarifying membership benefits as MNF continues to campaign for members. The committee also made note of minor language and design changes. The committee also reviewed the list of potential Network Associates and the comments and suggestions which had been received from MNF Trustees. Staff will continue to work with Trustees, especially the Michigan League for Human Services, to further define the membership mailing list. Further, the committee decided a successful membership campaign will need the personal appeal of MNF's Trustees behind it. The first phase of the campaign will involve mailing out the brochure with a cover letter from individual MNF Trustees who have knowledge of the targeted organization (planned for November). Staff will provide the Trustees with a sample form letter which can be personally modified by each Trustee. Trustees will follow-up this written communication with a personal phone call approximately two weeks after the brochure is mailed. The second phase of the campaign will begin in January with an evaluation of the efforts to date and a second, broader mailing. As a benefit of membership, organizations will receive discounts on MNF events. This second mailing could be �timed to arrive prior to the registration period for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV, thus providing potential members with a natural incentive to join MNF immediately. The Executive Committee reviewed and discussed this information and agreed that it should be reviewed by the full board at the October 28, 1991 meeting for formal ratification. Nominations. L.

Identification of the tangible and intangible benefits nonprofits provide their communities as concrete evidence of PUBLIC BENEFIT, to assist in reeducating the public and public leaders. �4. Seeking rulings from local, state, and federal bodies which clarify and define the nonprofit sector. This framework will allow MNF to generate a series of policy papers and tapes which can be used through MNF's networks across the state and structured into regional/local roundtables, in effect, to create a curriculum for enlightening key audiences across the state. E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers IV Program Committee: J. Lore reviewed the work of the GGIV program committee. The theme for this year's conference will be "Living our Mission: Meeting our Public's Needs." The program structure is as follows: 8:00 9:00 9:45 10:00 12:00 1:30 1:45 3:00 1:45 - 9:00 - 9:45 - 10:00 - 11:45 - 1:30 - 1:45 -2:45 - 4:00 - 4:00 Registration Opening Session Break Concurrent Sessions (5) Lunch Break and Concurrent sessions (3 @ Ihr, repeated) Concurrent sessions (2 @ 2 hrs in length) Sessions will cover issues on management, voluntarism, organizational effectiveness, broad public policy, advocacy, media relations, and demographics, to name a few.

Recommendations of the Finance Committee Octobers. 1991 The following recommendations draw on unbudgeted income from 199091 and projected for 1991-92, from interest, reimbursements and additional board contributions. 1. Staff Development: The committee recommends approval of $1500 for staff development. These funds will be used primarily for computer training and training of the administrative assistant in such skills as nonprofit accounting and budgeting. 2. Equipment: Currently, funds budgeted for equipment are largely earmarked for the networked computer system approved last year, and for GGIV. The committee recommends approval of an additional $2500 for equipment. With current funds, this will cover: - a postage meter ($2000) -- car phone ($300) and related monthly costs ($500) — repairs, including a pending computer repair on MNF's original computer 3. Audit: Estimates are now being sought for MNF's first audit. Based on experience, the UWM Director of Finance estimates that the cost will be between $3000 and $3500. For that purpose, the committee recommends approval of $3500 for the audit. 4. Rent and Utilities: MNF is now in donated space, where the cost of parking is minimal. However, the board should continue to anticipate realistic costs in the budget. This is particularly true since MNF has grown ~ now with 3 staff and 2 interns — and current space is inadequate. To anticipate the real costs of adequate office space and utilities, the committee recommends approval of $2750 for rent and $466.35 for parking. 5. Miscellaneous Expenses: In anticipation of costs of Directors and Officers Liability insurance (bids are pending), the committee recommends approval of $3149.65 for Miscellaneous Expenses. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION on the Check-writing Policy: Now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling on checks without cosignature ($1000) has proven to be very awkward and time-consuming. The committee recommends that the board adopt a new ceiling of $2000. The committee also recommends that MNF staff be bonded (in process). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Staff will work to incorporate the survey process into the annual meeting format. 5. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 5:05p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Edward 0.

Recommendations of the Finance Committee to the Executive Committee on October 8. 1991 (Incorporated into the 1991-92 Proposed Budget as Presented) The following recommendations draw on unbudgeted income from 1990-91 and projected for 1991-92, from interest, reimbursements and additional board contributions. 1. Staff Development: The committee recommends approval of $1500 for staff development. These funds will be used primarily for computer training and training of the administrative assistant in such skills as nonprofit accounting and budgeting. 2. EQuipment: Currently, funds budgeted for equipment are largely earmarked for the networked computer system approved last year, and for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV. The committee recommends approval of an additional $2500 for equipment. With current funds, this will cover: - a postage meter ($2000) -car phone ($300) and related monthly costs ($500) --repairs, including a pending computer repair on MNF's original computer. 3. Audit: Estimates are now being sought for MNF's first audit. Based on experience, the UWM Director of Finance estimates that the cost will be between $3000 and $3500. For that purpose, the committee recommends approval of $3500 for the audit. 4. Rent and Utilities: MNF is now in donated space, where the cost of parking is minimal. However, the board should continue to anticipate realistic costs in the budget. This is particularly true since MNF has grown-- now with 3 staff and 2 interns-- and current space is inadequate. To anticipate the real costs of adequate office space and utilities, the committee recommends approval of $2750 for rent and $466 for parking. 5. Miscellaneous Expenses: In anticipation of costs of Directors and Officers Liability insurance (bids are pending), the committee recommends approval of $3150 for Miscellaneous Expenses. ADDmONAL RECOMMENDATION on the Check-writine Policy: Now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling on checks without cosignature ($1000) has proven to be very awkward and time-consuming. The committee recommends that the board adopt a new ceiling of $2000. The committee also recommends that MNF staff be bonded (in process). �MICIDGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 34 KELLOGG CENTER EAST LANSING, MICIDGAN 48824-1022 Phone: 517/353-5038 Fax: 517/336-1327 All allianct to promolt giving, volunturing and a strong, tfftclit'l n.onprofit stctor in Michigan. Minutes of the MNF Executive Committee Meeting August 6, 1991 - 12:30 to 3:00p.m. (Galaxy Room, Kellogg Center, East Lansing, Ml) Members Present: Edward 0. Blews Robert E. Ivory Dorothy A. Johnson JohnS. Lore Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Helen C. Philpott Glenn R. Stevens Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke David 0 . Egner Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Ca11 to Order: With the Chairman present, the meeting was called to order at 12:40 p.m. 2. Chairman's Report: R. Mawby reported on several items. The issue of "tipping" MNF is currently being reviewed by the Kellogg Foundation. Kellogg and MNF are working with the United Way of Michigan to resolve this situation. Regarding office space, James Votruba of MSU has informed M. Lewis that MNF may continue to use office space in the Kellogg Center indefinitely. MSU is also working to provide one additional office for MNF. Due to the uncertain future of the Michigan Council for the Arts, B. Goldman, the current Executive Director, suggested that L. Young replace her as the Membership Committee's Chair. For an interim period, L. Young was appointed Acting Chair. The committee decided that it would be appropriate to send B. Goldman a letter of appreciation for all of her efforts on behalf of MNF. [Subsequently, it was learned that B. Goldman would not be leaving the Council immediately, and that she will continue 1 �to serve on the MNF board but, since her future is still uncertain, she prefers that L. Young continue as Acting Chair.] Several Organizational members have new leadership: Ann Rosewarne is the new Executive Director of the Michigan Health Council, and Gerard Keidel is the new Executive Director of the Michigan Association of School Administrators. Further, the Jewish Community Council has a new Board Representative, Kathleen Strauss. Given these changes in the board make-up, the Executive Committee was asked to consider restructuring the various board committees, and recommendations for committee assignments were invited. The committee was also asked to reflect on a replacement for Helen Milliken, who was forced to resign from the board for health reasons. MNF's role in several significant statewide initiatives was reviewed. MNF, working with the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Campus Compact, sponsored a series of planning meetings leading to a design for a Youth Service Michigan plan. The plan is currently being recommended to the new Governor's Commission on Youth Service Michigan. In conjunction with the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, MNF is developing a media campaign to promote volunteering during a Michigan Year of the Volunteer during 1992. With Governor Romney's leadership, MNF is designing a Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism, with corporate leadership and broad-based involvement, to promote voluntarism next year. MNF is working with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan to create an expanded network of VAC's across the state. MNF is collaborating with the Nonprofit Michigan Project (Mark Wilson) and researchers at colleges and universities across the state for better information on the nonprofit sector. 3. Committee Updates: A. Budget & Finance Committee. R. Ivory presented four finance reports covering Income & Expenses for Year 1 (1990-1991), Proposed Budget for Year 2 (1991-1992), Revised Year 2 Budget Including Grantmakers Grantseekers Seminar Budget, and a comparison of Original and Revised Budgets for Year 1. Following discussion, the committee provisionally approved the budget reports, pending Finance Committee review. The committee also recommended that for future discussions only the combined budget report be used. The committee also unanimously agreed to invoice MNF Organizational Members for their 1992 dues contribution at this time. B. Audit. G. Stevens stated that MNF should consider contracting for an audit versus having it done pro bono. This would provide legal recourse should any problems arise. Further, G. Stevens suggested that in light of the fact that KPMG Peat Marwick has completed a partial audit of MNF through its audit of the United Way of Michigan, they should be approached to perform a sub-audit on the remaining MNF fiscal data. 2 �C. Membership. L. Young reported that the Membership Committee met earlier that morning. At that time the committee reviewed the bylaws amendments in Article I & m, the membership structure, and the dues and contributions schedule which were approved by the Board of Trustees on 5/9/91. The committee stressed the current need to define and clarify benefits of membership which are associated with each category of Membership. In reviewing the dues structure, the committee reiterated that it would not actively solicit members among current MNF membership organizations, except in consultation and collaboration with the Organizational Member. Further, as recommended by the board, the committee reviewed the category of "Other Members." Committee members determined that this category strictly serves as a bookmark, not an active category. It merely allows the board to create new membership categories in the future, should it choose to do so. The committee recommended that the entire membership structure continue to be reviewed as the membership grows. In light of MNF' s dues and contributions schedule, the committee determined that MNF should begin a targeted membership drive during the fall of 1991. A brochure will be developed which will be mailed in October to a targeted membership list consisting of 100 organizations. This target list will be made available to Organizational Members for comment before the campaign begins. Organizational Members will also provide one-to-one follow-up contact to organizations targeted for membership. D. Public Policy Committee and Program Committee. E. Blews and B. McDonald, the respective co-chairs, reported on the joint committee meeting held on July 26, 1991. The committees are planning a public policy summit which will highlight the common characteristics of nonprofits organizations, as well as the mutuality of interest and concern which exists among them. This would help to define what the nonprofit sector is, why it is necessary, and how it serves the public good. The committees agreed that the audience for the summit should be composed of representatives from the nonprofit sector, the government, and the private sector. Participation will be by invitation only and will be limited to fifty individuals. The seminar will open with a one-hour scholarly presentation on the definition of the nonprofit sector. This presentation will include a legal history of nonprofits, as well as a current overview of the nonprofit sector in Michigan. This presentation will be followed by a one-hour discussion on the unique value of nonprofits in today's society. This discussion will include individuals from the nonprofit sector who represent broad and diverse nonprofit interests. The third and final session of the seminar will focus on a moderated 3 �roundtable discussion which involves individuals from both the nonprofit and public sectors, as well as the private sector. This session will address a specific issue, such as education or health, which involves and affects all three sectors. The panelists will number from 15-20, with an audience of 30-35. The moderator should be a thought-provoking individual who is well-versed in the issue at hand. All three session will be videotaped, to be made available to a larger public. Given the extensive planning for an event of this nature, the committee decided to look at late fall of 1991 or early 1992 for possible seminar dates. E. Blews, B. McDonald, and M. Lewis are working together to fine-tune the invitation list, the date and site, and a follow-up strategy. After discussion, the Executive Committee decided that it would be best to have the summit in January of 1992 so that it would not conflict with the many events already planned for the fall of 1991. E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Committee. J. Lore reported that GGill was the most successful seminar to date. Over 1260 people were in attendance. Diana Sieger of the Grand Rapids Foundation will replace Dorothy Johnson of the Council of Michigan Foundations as co-chair for GGIV, which is scheduled for April 24, 1992, at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. After discussion the committee decided to raise the registration fee for GGIV to $50. This price will be reduced to $40 if an organization is a member of MNF. This fee increase will help to defray some of the costs of conducting the seminar, now heavily subsidized by the Kellogg Foundation. 4. Rewrt of the Executive Director. M. Lewis reported briefly on highlights of the annual report, which will be distributed to Trustees after Labor Day. 5. Review of the Proposed Personnel Manual. M. Lewis circulated the proposed MNF Personnel Manual among the committee members. After discussion, members were asked to review the manual and forward any comments to B. Ivory for consideration. 6. Su~gestions for At-large Member. Committee members discussed the resignation of Helen Milliken from the Board of Trustees for health reasons. R. Mawby asked the committee to consider potential replacements. Several names were mentioned. Staff will work to further identify potential candidates and will keep the committee informed of its progress. 7. Discussion of a Goal-Setting Process. Due to time constraints, the committee decided to table this issue until the next meeting of the Executive Committee on October 8, 1991. In the meantime, M. Lewis will meet with R. Mawby to review MNF's goalsetting process. 4 �8. Executive Performance Review. The officers of the committee decided to move the Executive Performance Review to October 8, 1991. This meeting will follow the full meeting of the Executive Committee. 9. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 3:05p.m. Respectfully submitted, Edward 0. Blews, Jr. Secretary 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
