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

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

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Michigan Conummity Service Commission From: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director /9-- Date: February 4, 2002 Re: Executive Director's Report No doubt you either heard of the President's call to action, the USA Freedom Corps, in his State of the Union address or received my email describing tllis new initiative with the website addresses posted for more information. This is more than a further expansion of national service. The USA Freedom Corps is a new umbrella orgarlization for national and community service. I will be devoting the majority of this quarter's rep01i on this new era for national service and on how Michigan might fare and respond. What is the USA Freedom Corps? The President has moved llis post-September 11 111 call to service from a suggestion to act, to a coordinated initiative to help Americans get engaged in the security, health, and education of their communities and the conmmnities of others. According to the new website for this initiative, www.usafreedomc01ps.gov, "The USA Freedom Corps, through its participating agencies and programs - the newly created Citizen Corps, AmeriCorps, Se11ior Corps, and the Peace Corps - will work with local officials and community groups to offer expanded service opportunities for Americans at home and abroad." As the illustration below indicates, the President is calling for the federal govenm1ent to build a strong collaboration among its agencies that will focus on strengthening c01munities and ensuring their security (at home and abroad). The USA Freedom Corps is comprised of three components: Citizen Corps (a new initiative); AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn & Serve; and the Peace Corps. �USA Freedom Corps Citizen Corps Citizen Preparedness Councils, Governors, FEMA $230 million AmeriCorps Senior Corps Other Funds $230 million $50 million $10 million Peace Corps $200 million Citizen Corps The newest of this triad, the Citizen Corps, will harness the power of citizens to help prepare their local communities for the threats of terrorism. The Citizen Corps will be a locally-driven initiative managed by the newly created Citizen Preparedness Cmmcils (Councils), supported at the state level by Governors, and coordinated nationally by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The USA Freedom Corps and Citizens Corps initiative will be coordinated by a council of cabinet members who will be convened to coordinate resources and planning at the federal level. The President will chair the committee and the Vice-President will oversee the activities of the Council. Local Citizen Preparedness Councils will be developed to coordinate local Citizen Corps activities. The Citizen Corps will be comprised of six issue-related components: Citizen Corps Councils, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Neighborhood Watch Program (NWP), Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS), Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), and Operation TIPS (Terrorist Information and Prevention System). Citizen Corps Councils will help drive local citizen participation by coordinating Citizen Corps programs, developing community action plans, assessing possible threats, and identifying local resources. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a training program that prepares people in neighborhoods, the workplace, and schools to take a more active role in emergency management planning, and to prepare themselves and others for disasters. An expanded Neighborhood Watch Program (NWP) will incorporate terrorism prevention and education into its existing c1ime prevention mission. 2 �Voltmteers in Police Service (VIPS) will provide support for resource-constrained police departments by utilizing civilian volunteers in order to free up more law enforcement professionals for frontline duty. The Medical Reserve Corps CMRC) will coordinate volunteer health professionals during large-scale emergencies to assist emergency response teams, provide care to victims with less serious injuries, and remove other burdens that inhibit the effectiveness of physicians and nurses in a major crisis. Operation TIPS, the Terrorist Information and Prevention System, will be a nationwide program providing millions of workers who - by the nature of their jobs, are well-positioned to recognize unusual events - with training, materials, and a formalized way to report suspicious activity to the nearest FBI field office. Citizen Corps efforts at state and local levels will be coordinated nationally by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The President has proposed $230 million for this new initiative. Improved and Enhanced AmeriCorps and Senior Corps The President proposed the expansion of AmeriCorps by 25,000 members, as well as 100,000 new Senior Corps participants. The emphasis will be focused on volunteer generation and targeted at issues ofhomeland security and public health. Additionally, the President called for improvements to the operations and policies of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Reforms are geared around the removal of barriers to service including: flexibility to the use of education awards, tax exemption for stipends and post-service benefits, and expansion of access to faith-based organizations. Other expansion efforts for AmeriCorps are targeted at the expansion of national service programs that encourage teaching corps (Teach for America is specifically mentioned) and other demonstration programs. The President proposed $230 million for this expansion. Senior Corps programs are targeted for an increase of 100,000 participants. The President has also proposed enhancements to encouraging more seniors to volunteer by: • lowering the participate age to 55, • expanding the types of participation to public health, safety, and emergency preparedness, and • reducing the "red tape" on Senior Corps programs. The President proposed $50 million for the Senior Corps expansion. 3 �Peace Corps The President has called for the doubling of the Peace Corps over 5 years. This expansion includes increasing the number of members as well as the countries in which the Peace Corps is engaged. The President has proposed $200 million for this initiative. Implications for Michigan The President announced the USA Freedom Corps as part of his State of Union address . In the response delivered by the House Minmity Leader, Richard Gephardt (D-Missouri), the need for the expansion of national service was reaffirmed. For the first time since the signing of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, both parties in Congress and the White House have affirmed the need for and value of national service. The implications for Michigan are positive, but not altogether clear. Resources for Capacity The proposed expansion of AmeriCorps would provide Michigan an opportunity to expand the size of its program portfolio by as much as 50%. The new program funding proposed by the President does not currently provide the resources for administration of these programs. In other words, the President's budget does not provide resources for state commissions to administer a potentially expanded portfolio. The state resources are shrinking in the wake of the economic slow-down. Revenues are not expected to return to past levels to provide additional expansion to the MCSC's budget. Hence, as the federal expectations for improved quality and expansion of national service programs increase, the resources available for administration will decrease. It will be important to keep policy makers infonned of this potential conflict. Don 't Reinvent the Wheel The USA Freedom Corps calls for the creation of local partnerships of representatives from medical, public safety, and community based organizations to address local coordination issues. In the President's executive order, there is no mention of utilizing existing community collaborates like Michigan's Multi-Purpose Collaborative Bodies (MPCBs), Communities ofPromise, and other local alliances. Should the maximmn flexibility be offered to states as this initiative moves forward, the MCSC and its partner organizations may be able to play a significant role in the development of the Citizen Corps in Michigan. Now is the time to demonstrate the value of our current infrastructures to the decision makers in this area. More Reforms are Needed The President's proposal does not mention the reforms that many have called for in the structure of the CNCS and its methods of operation. Specifically, the resources for all 4 �national service programs in Michigan are not coordinated and distributed in a way that avoids duplication, waste, and dilution. The administrative structure ofthe CNCS remains large and top-heavy while providing no additional assistance to states or "in the field." Finally, state service commissions are charged with coordinating the training and technical assistance needs of the national service programs in their respective states, but are not empowered to provide resources for those services. As states will be relied upon even more under the USA Freedom Corps to coordinate local needs and services, it becomes even more important to coordinate resources at the state level through governors. State service commissions remain one of the most effective means to coordinate this federal and state linl<. However, reforms in the form of reduced red tape and more resource flexibility must come first. I will be providing a more in-depth analysis of the President's USA Freedom Corps at the February l i11 meeting. It is clear that we have an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the value of national service and volunteerism. It is also clear that the stakes are higher · than every before. It's due to be an exciting year! 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: u Garry Gross, Director of Finance & Administration Michigan Community Service Commission ~~ RE: Finance & Administration Division's Report DATE: February 4, 2001 a. . . The following is a brief update of the current issues facing the Finance and Administration Division. FY 2002 Spending Attached is the FY 2002 Comparative Financial Statement for the first quarter of our fiscal year. The statement reflects the decrease of $50,000 in our Volunteer Investment Grants line from FY 2001 and $142,700 from the original appropriation amount of$1,000,000. It is also important to note that the first quarter of our fiscal year is typically the slowest spending quarter as we are closing out old year grants, setting up new purchase orders, and conferences and trainings for the year. We are also still waiting on the final award letter from the Corporation for National and Community Service for our program development and training (PDAT), and disability grants. Until we have the fmal awards, we will be using last year's grants as tentative amounts for our spending plans. FY 2003 Budget Process The FY 2003 budget process is well under way. As many of you are aware, the State is expecting a major fmancial shortfall for the next fiscal year. Forecasts have the deficit anywhere between 600 million and 1.4 billion dollars. Our first budget hearing for FY 2003 will be on February 1ih 2001, the day ofthe lOth Anniversary Celebration and Commission Meeting. This will be the initial presentation and overview of major budget issues to the House Appropriations Subcommittee. �We have not been informed of any changes to our submitted budget as of yet. However, based upon the Governor's request that all State Departments share the cuts, we are expecting at least a 10% cut in all of our General Funds. We have been expecting this and have a general idea on where to cut costs without affecting our current services and quality. We will keep you updated as the budget process progresses. Federal Audit We are now well into the sub-grantee site visits for our audit. As of today, three site visits have been completed and the auditors are scheduled for more in the next couple of weeks. Overall, the visits have gone well. We have seen some issues with missing documentation from the early years of the programs. This was not unexpected as the requirement of documentation by CNS in the early years was vague and open to interpretation. It is almost impossible for the programs to get the documentation from the individuals now, in some cases, after five years have passed. The good news is that the programs have been much better in recent years. This looks good for the Commission as the auditors are finding memos and site visit feedback from the MCSC addressing the missing documentation. The auditors have set a date of March 4 through the 15 to be on site at our office. We are hoping that they will be able to complete a majority of their testing during that time frame and will then be able to finish the work at their office in Washington, D.C. After discussions with some of the senior auditors, we do not expect to have our exit meeting until at least October 2000. Personnel Matters We are still waiting on our request for the hiring freeze waiver for the vacant Grants Coordinator position. The request is with the Department of Management and Budget for approval and we hope to hear something back by the end of this month. If the request gets approved, we should be able to bring on the new Grants Coordinator by the end of April 2002, just in time to send them out on site visits around the state.

We recognize the exemplary efforts of Michigan schools in developing creative ways to make learning through service important components to a quality education. We applaud the work of the students, teachers, parents, administrators, business and civic leaders who demonstrate a commitment to academic achievement and service to community as necessary elements for the continuation of a healthy democracy. The Michigan State Board of Education understands that given the responsibilities and accountability requirements on educational institutions, care must be taken to assure that Board endorsements support educators without undue additional burden. As innovations come to the attention of the Board, tools and resources that assist educators in meeting the current demands for academic achievement, workforce development, accountability, civic engagement and should be shared. These innovations may include the introduction of carefully crafted, teachergenerated and tested, curriculum enrichment materials and active teaching strategies We believe that the teacher developed lesson plans of Learning to Give and the companion techniques of service-learning are valuable tools for addressing the long-term goals of: quality student academic achievement; workforce readiness; safe and secure educational environments; and a strengthened democracy and civil society. We accept the national and state education research that describes how service-learning improves schools, builds communities, and fosters civic engagement among young people. Service-learning techniques help schools to graduate students with a deeper understanding of content, stronger sense of purpose and enhanced commitment to bettering their society. Service-learning offers a powerful , experiential teaching tool to assist educators in fulfilling their current responsibilities. We accept the extremely positive teacher responses to the new Michigan developed Learning to Give initiative as preliminary evidence of an effort worthy of further replication, adoption, and study. These new teacher-tested, standardsbased lessons and resources provide high quality, classroom-friendly academic rf �units of study directly aligned with the Michigan Curriculum Frameworks . Michigan teachers are in the forefront of this international effort to intentionally transmit the tradition of giving, service, democratic citizenship, and individual concern for the common good to the next generation. Together, the Learning to Give academic resources, and service-learning as a teaching strategy, are worthy of serious consideration by Michigan educators as enhancements and resources to the critical task of preparing Americans for democracy. The Michigan State Board of Education encourages all Michigan citizens to consider how our state's education system will continue its dual mission of delivering quality, academic content in contextually relevant ways, while simultaneously instilling core democratic values, transmitting fundamental ideas of democracy, and providing opportunities for students to build skills in citizenship. In keeping with the MOE policies on Character, Family Involvement, Safe Schools, Effective Learning Environments, Prevention of Bullying and Encouraging Tolerance, we encourage Michigan schools to utilize servicelearning as a powerful teaching method that helps to make learning, exciting, meaningful , relevant and lasting for our students. We encourage Michigan teachers to select and integrate academic lessons from Learning to Give as teacher-developed resources to enrich student understanding of civil society and the role of free people in a democracy. rf 1 �Background Service-learning Service-learning is a teaching/learning strategy that integrates service to the community into the core academic curriculum in a way that helps students make real world connections between their studies and solving community problems. Service-learning helps answer the question, "Why am I learning this?" According to a recent poll conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide, Americans agree that schools have a clear responsibility to link what children study in school to the skills they will need at work and in their communities. The September 2000 poll shows that the American public recognizes service-learning as an educational experience that should be available to all children. 1 Today approximately one-third of public elementary and secondary schools use service-learning in their educational programs nationally. Service-learning is currently improving schools, building communities, and fostering c1v1c engagement among young people in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Michigan can do no less. Learning to Give Learning to Give seeks to perpetuate a civil society by: • educating children about the independent sector (knowledge), • developing behavior and philanthropic experience (skills), and , • stimulating private voluntary citizen action for the common good (behavior). In 1997, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and a consortium of nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies and businesses began an innovative project to counteract the decline of civic involvement. Specifically targeting young people, they created a program to teach the historic role and intrinsic value of America's independent, not-for-profit sector and the importance of philanthropy-giving of one's wealth, time and talent for the common good. The wide divisions in American society, defined clearly in the recent Presidential election, are of great concern. Civil society is historically an anomaly, with the United States representing the largest, longest running, and most diverse population ever attempting democracy. The role of an educated citizenry, knowledgeable and committed to individual rights and community responsibility, is the keystone of the belief system holding this nation together. With major funding from the W.K. Kellogg, Ford, Atlantic Philanthropies, McGregor Fund, Charles Stewart Mott, and Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundations, 1 The study was conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide. It included a national sample of 1,0 13 adults 18 and older. The sample was collected via telephone using Random Digit Dialing (RDD). Results based on the entire sample can be projected to the entire adult population of the United States with a sampling error of +/- 3.5 percentage points. �the Lilly Endowment and other private foundations, CMF created "Learning to Give" as a voluntary K-12 education in philanthropy initiative. Quietly and with little fanfare, the project has been developed with the help of K-12 classroom teachers and field-tested throughout the nation. So far, teachers working on a volunteer basis have written more than 350 lesson plans. The initiative represents a significant enhancement to service-learning programs and the social science curriculum already in public schools . It includes wideranging content about the independent sector previously missing from the servicelearning movement and the core K-12 academic curriculum. The Initiative 's subject matter is interwoven with history, geography, government and economics. But more is involved ... without the Initiative, students might never be directly exposed to the role of volunteers in building a civil society-or even why having a civil society is important. Students in the Learning to Give initiative learn not only how to give of their time and talent, but also the past, present and future importance of participating in the common good. Importantly, the Initiative has embraced the latest in internet technology to expand and reach our nation's teachers, students, family and volunteers. Through its Web site (http://learningtogive .org), teachers across the nation, free of charge, can access and then directly download the Project's curriculum, lessons and resource materials. Partnerships in support of Learning to Give have been developed with: • Association of Fundraising Professionals • Council on Foundations • National Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers • INDEPENDENT SECTOR • National Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy, The Urban Institute • National Council for the Social Studies • National Council on Black Philanthropy • National Council of Nonprofit Associations Endorsements of Learning to Give have been received from : • American Federation of Teachers • Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) • Center for Civic Education • Center for Partnership Studies • Council of Great City Schools • Educators for Social Responsibility • National Alliance of Busines~usiness Coalition for Education Reform • National Alliance of Black School Educators • National Association of Elementary School Principals • National Association of Secondary School Principals • National Conference of State Legislatures • National School Boards Association • Social Science Education Consortium �Research Service-learning Most service-learning experts agree that research in the field has still not substantiated the high-level of the enthusiasm and commitment, which educators and students demonstrate for service-learning. In recent years, the research has started to build documented credibility to the claims that practitioners have been making since the inception of service-learning . Research points to both a significant increases in the prevalence of servicelearning across the country along with observable impacts on students, schools and communities. Research affirms that service-learning: 2 • • • • • • Has positive effect on the personal development of public school youth; Helps to develop students' sense of civic and social responsibility and their citizenship skills; Helps students acquire academic skills and knowledge; Helps students to become more knowledgeable and realistic about careers; Results in greater mutual respect of teachers and students; and Leads to more positive perceptions of school and youth by community members. Learning to Give Learning to Give is still in its developmental stages. Initial research on student outcomes has started with the assistance of over thirty volunteer K through 12 school buildings in Michigan that have committed to teaching two Learning to Give units at each grade level for a period of at least three years. Teacher reflection on their students' reactions to the initial lessons indicates a high level of academic achievement, enthusiasm, and learning. Because each lesson directly meets the Michigan Curriculum Frameworks, particularly in the social studies and English Language Arts , these teacher-tested units integrate seamlessly into each teacher's individual lesson planning. The units and lessons are a flexible, high quality, free resource for teachers. All of the lessons have been written and piloted by practicing K-12 classroom teachers, reviewed for fairness by an independent committee representative of Michigan citizens, and field-tested with written evaluation, by at least five other classroom teachers. Further evaluation research on Learning to Give is underway led by a team from Michigan State University. Enough information is available to indicate that the Learning to Give resources serve as helpful, high quality resources to busy teachers and schools. 2 See Serv ice-Learning Bibl iography �c; 't Service-learning Method What is Service-Learning? Service-learning is a teaching method that combines meaningful service to the community with curriculum-based learning. Service-learning takes place in K-12 schools, in higher education classrooms, and in community-based organizations. This document focuses on K-12 school-based service-learning. Serving. The service itself addresses a genuine community need, as determined by existing or student-led community assessments. The service should be thoughtfully organized to solve, or make a positive contribution toward solving, a problem. In the early grades, the community often includes the school building. Linking. In quality service-learning, the service is designed to meet not only a real community need, but also classroom goals. By ensuring strong linkages between the service and the learning, students are able to improve their academic skills and apply what they learn in school to the broader community. Through service-learning, students demonstrate to teachers what they are learning and how they are meeting specific academic standards. Learning. Reflection is a key element of quality service-learning. The teacher structures time and methods for students to reflect on and analyze their service experience. Through this process, students learn and understand the complexity of community issues. In addition, students understand how to view such issues in their broader social, political and economic contexts. Reflection and analysis help reinforce the connection between the students' service and the curriculum content. Learning to Give Content Learning to Give lessons are organized to support student understanding on four major educational outcomes. First, a graduating student from Michigan high school will be able to define the nonprofit, independent, philanthropic sector, and compare and contrast the sector to business and government. Second, a graduating student will be able to describe the relationship of the nonprofit sector to civil society. This goal directly links knowledge about citizen participation to the social studies taught K-12: the role of the private citizen action for the common good in economics , government, geography, and throughout history. Third, a graduating student will be able to describe individual altruism , and to explore career alternatives in the nonprofit sector. Finally , students will have experience and build skills in service and citizen participation . The majority of the units offer suggestions for experiential or service-learning projects that apply the concepts of the lessons. rf �Why is Service-Learning a Valuable Part of Public Education? A summary of research by Learning In Deed documents the impacts of servicelearning on students , schools and communities. Research findings show the following benefits for students from service-learning: • • • • improved academic achievement; fostering of a lifetime commitment to civic participation; improved social skills; and students prepared to enter the workforce. By teaching young people that they can and should play a positive role in their community, service-learning encourages life-long civic participation. Servicelearning gives students a sense of competency; they see themselves as active contributors rather than passive recipients of adult support. Service-learning also helps address real community needs, builds stronger connections between schools and communities , and improves the overall school climate. Why is Learning to Give an Important Component of Public Education? A key role of public education in a democracy is the preparation of knowledgeable leaders, and to support future citizen participation for the common good. The Founders designed many of the fundamental principles of government on the assumption of an educated and engaged citizenry. In the United States, citizen participation outside of government and the market economy occurs within the broadly defined "independent sector" composed of large and small, highly organized and loosely affiliated organizations and groups. The philanthropic sector is diffuse, diverse, and ranges from the local voluntary neighborhood watch, to the great private colleges and universities, to symphonies, soup kitchens, the PTA and parent groups, and from activity centers to zoos. Serious academic study of the history, role, and importance of this civil sector has resulted in an organized and growing body of knowledge at the university level. Learning to Give accesses this new knowledge and understanding. With the help of K-12 classroom teachers, lessons are developed that intentionally translate critical concepts in a structured age-appropriate way to children as a part of their education in democratic citizenship. The lessons are written to enhance what is already adopted in classrooms, simply adding a deeper level of understanding, providing additional examples, and introducing new language. Learning to Give provides the intellectual tools and knowledge that enables students to understand and interpret a formerly "invisible" and yet highly important aspect of their culture. �How Prevalent is Service-Learning? Today, schools in all 50 states offer service-learning. A 1999 survey released by the National Center for Education Statistics found that 32% of all public schools organize service-learning as part of their curriculum, including nearly half of all high schools. A recent report from the University of Minnesota examined the prevalence of service-learning from 1984-1997. The report documents a dramatic increase in involvement in service , including a significant rise in the percentage of all high school students involved in service-learning activities - from a mere two percent in 1984 to nearly 25 percent in 1997. What are Examples of Possible Service-Learning Activities? Examples of service-learning in K-12 schools are: • High school foreign language students create English vocabulary books to help the community's growing Spanish-speaking population learn English. Through creating the books, the high school students increase their knowledge of Spanish vocabulary and Latin cultures. • Fourth graders enhance their reading and writing skills by making alphabet books for preschool children. They then "host" a preschooler during the first week of school - helping with tours of the school and spending time reading with the preschoolers. Through this project the fourth graders meet grade level objectives for punctuation, use of expressive words, multiple meaning words, creative writing and critical thinking, and at the same time help younger students. • As part of their science curriculum, middle grades students take water samples of their local waterway. They analyze the amount and nature of pollutants in the water and look for the source of that pollution. They write letters to their local government to inform the city officials of the problem and encourage them to take action. Additional examples can be found at t:http ://www.learningindeed .org/tools/examples.html How Prevalent is Learning to Give Over thirty Michigan school buildings are voluntarily participating in the three-year pilot testing of almost 500 lesson plans. These schools represent schools districts across the State of Michigan. Three school districts are participating in every school building in the district K-12. In addition, over 100 Michigan teachers have participated in writing the lesson plans and have been involved in professional development institutes at the graduate level designed to deepen their understanding of the philanthropy content. The Learning to Give initiative hopes to continue to engage Michigan educators, and will be moving to work in five additional states over the next two years. �Who Supports Service-Learning? We do and you can! Service-learning is primarily a locally-driven activity, with decision-making and control at the school level. Community leaders, students , parents , school district superintendents and teachers in cities and towns across the country are outspoken advocates for service-learning . The first national legislation, passed in 1990, created a federal commission to award grants to states, schools and community organizations to develop and implement service-learning. The National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 expanded the federal role in service-learning and provided funds for every state to incorporate service-learning into schools .

From mentors providing a guiding hand, to caring individuals delivering a hot meal, to friends and neighbors building homes for the less fortunate-volunteers are changing lives. The MCSC supports these efforts so that local organizations and local people can work together to overcome their community's most vexing challenges. Through grants, demonstration models, and recognition efforts, the MCSC is focused on engaging citizens of all ages in community service. Russell G. Mawby Chair We are proud of the work we have done to help citizens serve and invite you to peruse this brief summary, "A Decade of Service." In it you will find a description of our organization, the impact of the programs we support, the incredible leveraging power of our grant making, and examples of the remarkable volunteers we support every day. Since our founding in 1991 , we have granted more than $41 million in federal, state, and private funds to community-based organizations to support high quality volunteer programs. As a result, communities have been able to leverage more than $34 million in additional resources to meet local needs. This is a major investment, but a wise one as we consider that every one volunteer recruited through our program generates anywhere from 10 to 20 additional volunteers. During the past decade, we have engaged more than 500,000 individuals throughout the state in community service. We believe you will be truly amazed at the depth and breadth of the projects, programs, and activities we have had the privilege to support. Kyle Caldwell Executive Director As our nation continues to reflect on the need for building community in times of tragedy as well as prosperity, it is critical that each of us embraces, celebrates, and supports the volunteer efforts of the caring individuals and organizations in our state. We hope you will take comfort in the fact that Michigan's volunteer sector is strong because of the types of programs the MCSC supports. We encourage you to join us and take action to ensure Michigan remains a state that values and models an ethic of service. Thank you for your commitment and support. Sincerely, jf( Gl~ Russell G. Mawby Kyle Caldwell Chair Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission �The MCSC serves as a vital resource for volunteerism in Michigan.

The MCSC is a state agency that supports and increases the capacity of Michigan 's volunteer-oriented organizations. The goal of the MCSC is to engage Michigan citizens in community service activities that meet local needs. ~~~eto~J:t ~~~··· Volunteerism doesn't just happen . If the issues facing our communities are closely examined- education, security, homelessness, environment, poverty, substance abuse-every solution devised involves the altruistic actions of individuals. Most social service and nonprofit organizations rely heavily on volunteers as a valuable human resource; that resource must be stewarded carefully and supported continuously. Volunteer recruitment, management, training, placement, and recognition require resources and attention. With continued public and private support, along with the necessary training, resources, and coordination needed to help people serve, volunteeJism can become a way of life for all Michigan citizens. Since its founding in 1991 , the MCSC has granted more than $41 million in public and private funds to community programs, enabling them to engage thousands of Michigan citizens in volunteer service. This support has leveraged more than $34 million in local resources to further support these community volunteer initiatives. THE MCSC FACTS • The MCSC has engaged more than 500,000 youth, adults, and seniors in community service activities since 1994. • Annually, the MCSC grants $7 .5 million in federal funds to local communities to support national service programs. • Michigan 's AmeriCorps- a "domestic Peace Corps"- is a national service program that recruits more than 800 members each year. For each Michigan 's AmeriCorps member the MCSC has supported, an additional 15 volunteers were recruited to work on issues important to our communities. • ln support of America 's Promise, ArneriCorps Promise Fellows have touched the lives of more than 34,000 youth by providing them with mentors, after school activities, and opportunities to serve their community. • In one day, more than 84,000 seniors, adults, and youth volunteered their talents for Make A Difference Day projects throughout the state. • In the past year, teachers engaged nearly 25,000 students in service-learning activities that combine community service with classroom learning. • Nearly 2,000 volunteers have been identified by their peers as "the best of the best" and nominated for a prestigious Governor's Service Award. ~1,~~ Community Service • Volunteer centers throughout the state increased their capacity to recruit, train, and place volunteers and now cover approximately 85 percent of Michigan's communities.

For more details see memo from Ms. Kaiser regarding Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant Funding Recommendations dated November 14, 2001. Ms. Kaiser stated that currently the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is unable to provide the exact dollar amotmt ofMCSC's fommla allotment for FY2003. Until Congress passes the appropriation bill, the CNCS will not be able to provide the MCSC with this figure. The staff has reviewed the formula allotment from the past two years and anticipates about the same amount, roughly $2.8 million dollars. This may fluctuate based on the census data. In addition, the CNCS has limited the number of applications that can be submitted for competitive funding to two applications and that nun1ber includes programs that must recompete. Twenty-five of the twenty-six Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs are eligible to be renewed. If the MCSC renews all of our current formula ftmded programs it would equate to $2,866,728. As a result, the staff recommended that the MCSC not conduct an application process to select new Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. If the formula allotment exceeds the $2.8 million, staffwill evaluate the best option for disbursement of the funds .

Marketing Plan Development Work with Rx Coaching to develop the MCSC marketing plan continues. Since the Commission meeting in December, we began identifying target markets and action steps for the marketing plan. In addition, the staff and commissioner survey results have been compiled and are attached to this report. Governor's Service Awards The 91h Annual Governor's Service Awards (GSA) reception and dinner are being held on Monday, April29, 2002 at the Lansing Center in Lansing. Nomination forms are due to the MCSC by Friday, February 8, 2002. All commissioners are invited to serve as peer reviewers to select the five finalists and winner in each of the 14 categories. The peer review will take place on March 8, 2002 at the MCSC. Ameritech will once again be a lead sponsor for the Governor's Service Awards. Additional sponsors are being sought. Youth Poster Contest Entries for the 2002 Youth Poster Contest, Youth Volunteering to Unite our Communities, are due to the MCSC by Thursday, February 14, 2002. A youth-driven peer review is being held on March 8, 2002 to determine the winning poster. The winning poster will be printed and unveiled at the Governor's Service Awards. The MCSC staffwill again be seeking sponsors for this year's Youth Poster Contest. Unlike last year, we will not have a challenge grant from the Lovelight Foundation, which provided a 1:1 match. Therefore, our efforts to renew previous commitments and seek new ones will have to be redoubled. 2 �MYPAC At the suggestion of the Chair and some members of the Board Development Committee, staff will make an effort to connect all MCSC initiatives with our grant making focus. We are exploring ways of integrating MYPAC more deeply in the work ofthe MCSC. For this reason, it is anticipated that we will not be recruiting new MYP AC members for the 2002-2003 program year but will work with the current members to immerse them in the ongoing work of the MCSC. Michigan's Promise Michigan's Communities of Promise continue to participate in bi-monthly conference calls to keep abreast of activities in the field. These calls include a national update from America's Promise staff, a statewide update from the MCSC staff, and an opportunity for Community of Promise partners to discuss issues, share ideas, and celebrate accomplishments. The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is once again serving as the fiduciary for housing an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow at the MCSC. Interviews have been conducted and Jessica Swindell has been selected as the new Promise Fellow. Jessica is a former City Year Detroit AmeriCorps member and was most recently employed as the Family/School Partnership Coordinator for the Capital Area Literacy Coalition. She will start her position as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow Leader on January 31, 2001. Her resume is attached. Thank you to Commissioner Collier for CMF's ongoing support. Former Senator Harris Wofford was recently named Chair of the Board for America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth. Last January, Wofford stepped down as CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service with the ending of the Clinton Administration. Wofford replaces former Montana Governor Marc Racicot who had to step down after being appointed the head of the Republican National Committee. Both Racicot and Wofford succeeded retired General Colin Powell after he resigned as founding chair of America's Promise to accept the post of Secretary of State for the Bush Administration. Disability Project The MCSC Disability project, Access AmeriCorps, received funding for an additional year (through April2003) from the Corporation for National and Community Service. An Access AmeriCorps report is attached. MCSC Web Site The taxonomy (layout) for the MCSC's new website, following theE-Michigan guidelines, is complete. We are now negotiating the design of the masthead and the implementation and training calendar. 3 �u Coaching Your prescription for business success MCSC MARKETING SURVEY RESULTS Final Report, January 2002 BACKGROUND The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) hired Rx Coaching in October 2001 to coach the MCSC staff and commissioners, under the coordination of Mary Grill, Outreach & Fund Development Director, through the process of evaluating marketing needs and writing a Marketing Program that incorporates the Commission's mission and vision. In the course of their work, M. Grill and Rx Coaching decided the staff and commissioners should be surveyed on their perceptions of the effectiveness of the MCSC's current marketing efforts and challenges to future marketing. METHODOLOGY A marketing survey was emailed to the MCSC staff and commissioners in November and December 2001 . Respondents returned it by anonymous hard copy, email, or fax to Rx Coaching, who compiled the results. No individual respondents' names were revealed to the MCSC. Fourteen of 19 staff and 14 of 21 commissioners returned the survey, indicating similar rates of return for each. SUMMARY OF RESULTS There was a consensus between both groups that the MCSC gains little recognition for its efforts or the results of its hard work outside of grantees and/or the programs that MCSC administers directly. The commissioners took a focused approach in recommendations for rectifying this situation, putting more emphasis on a few target markets rather than the broader approaches suggested by staff. Neither group felt they received adequate information about the results of the agency's marketing efforts. Challenges to effective marketing mentioned by both groups included inadequate funding and staff, lack of a focused marketing plan, and the fact that the MCSC's role is unclear to those both inside and outside the organization. A staff that already perceives itself as overworked was particularly concerned about being burdened with additional marketing duties, although it does value such activities. Rx Coaching has recommended that issues that surfaced outside the scope of marketing (e.g., employee morale and recognition) be addressed in separate programs. Commissioner respondents expressed the strong opinion that their resources, talents, and connections could be better utilized in promoting the MCSC. �The survey results demonstrate a wide variety of opportunities for the implementation of a Marketing Program that will address valid concerns while building on the MCSC's strengths, such as solid grant making programs, a dedicated staff, and reputation for excellence among similar agencies nationwide. SURVEY RESULTS 1) Effectiveness of marketing efforts Both groups gave the MCSC a relatively low rating (less than 2.5 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being lowest). Detailed responses are included in separate staff and commissioner survey results reports. 2) How the MCSC could be marketed more effectively In terms of the most popular suggestions, staff mentioned training of grantees, improved visual identification, closer ties to media, and improved conrmunications with all target markets. Conrmissioners' reconrmendations fell into two broad areas: increased emphasis of value to local conrmunities and improved conrmunications with legislators. 3) Specific marketing challenges The "lack of time/money/trained staff' to do a good job of marketing was mentioned most often by staff, second most often by conrmissioners. The challenge mentioned most often by commissioners was a lack of clarity in the MCSC's stated message(s) and role. Other mentions by staff were lack of a unified approach or commitment to marketing and the perception that MCSC partners/grantees overshadow the Commission's contributions. Other mentions by commissioners werethe difficulty of promoting volunteerism and a lack of definition ofMCSC's target markets. 4) Satisfaction with feedback on results of MCSC's marketing Both groups gave very low ratings (overall score of less than 2) to their level of satisfaction with feedback on marketing results. 5) Additional questions asked only of commissioners • Half the commissioners said they believe the MCSC is better known outside of Michigan than within the state, but primarily only within the service conrmunity. • A large majority of the commissioners responding said they, their contacts, and resources should be used more frequently and more effectively in MCSC's marketing efforts. Some gave specific offers of help. RECOMMENDATIONS A. Design and implement an internal communications plan. 1) Emphasize the importance of marketing, underscore the Commission's dedication to marketing excellence, and instruct each employee and commissioner in his/her role in implementation of the Marketing Program. �2) Implementing ongoing internal communications programs (which may include a newsletter) to keep staff and commissioners consistently informed of: • Grantee success stories and how they are linked to MCSC efforts • Special service and/or contributions on the part ofMCSC employees and commissiOners • Recognition ofMCSC by media, legislators, agencies, and government departments in Michigan and other states, the federal government, etc. • Program, policy, or other changes that affect staff and/or commissioners • Upcoming deadlines for projects • Human interest stories and employee and commissioner profiles • Regular feedback on the results ofMCSC's Marketing Program B. Clearly define the mission, role, and operations of MCSC and simplify the agency's messages to key markets. • Develop phrases that are used consistently to describe the agency's mission and activities in all training programs, special events, brochures, news releases, newsletters, white papers, and other communications. • Redesign the MCSC logo and ensure that agency visual materials are used consistently and effectively in all events and programs. • Explore ways to make the MCSC web site more visually appealing, interactive, informative, and fun to use. C. Design and implement a program to build more productive relationships between the MCSC and state government. 1) Include action items that effectively utilize MCSC commissioners' influence and resources, especially in terms of in-kind contributions and regular contacts with legislators. 2) Develop a "business plan" for gubernatorial candidates, legislative candidates, and legislators that: • Includes specific suggestions on how they can support the MCSC in state government and at the loca1Jcommunity level • Appeals to their self-interest, makes them look good to constituents, and gets them re-elected • Is based on specific information on Appropriations Committee members and other key members of the legislature • Has obvious ties to the national agenda on volunteerism • May use a national personality in sports or entertainment as an MCSC spokesperson (appealing to state legislators rather than the general public) • Leverages MCSC's national reputation by developing statistics and communicating them to the appropriate parties in state government 3) Devise methods for staff to develop closer relationships between MCSC and other state agencies, including the Department of Career Development. �D. Design and implement a training program. 1) Train staff to present a consistent image of MCSC to all target markets. 2) Train commissioners to: • Present the MCSC's mission and operations clearly and consistently • Develop productive relationships with legislators, gubernatorial candidates, media, and community leaders. 3) Train grantees to: • Portray the MCSC to external groups-especially state legislators and the media-in a way that is clear, consistent, and powerful • Obtain frequent media coverage for their events and programs • Give ongoing feedback to the MCSC on the results of grantee programs E. Hire or assign a full-time marketing/public relations assistant to supervise the implementation of the marketing program. This person would report to the director of Outreach & Fund Development. His/her only job would be responsibility for day-to-day implementation of the marketing program, including: • Development and application of the graphic ID program • Coordination of writing and printing of promotional materials • Maintenance of media lists and everyday media contacts • Research, writing, and distribution of the employee newsletter • Coordination of promotion of special events • Monitoring of communications training results among staff and grantees, etc. This would relieve some of the perceived burden of giving additional duties to an already overworked staff, while assigning responsibility of marketing program execution to a single person who has marketing knowledge and experience. CONCLUSION With its highly defined budget and scope of operations, the MCSC cannot be all things to all people. The survey respondents indicated the MCSC must be marketed as the conduit between the state legislature and grantee organizations. This is not a mandate to design marketing activities aimed at the general public-far from it. By focusing its efforts on the target markets that really count, the MCSC will be able to more successfully accomplish its goals. This survey is a first and important step in gaining greater visibility for the Commission and improving communications with each of your target markets. Another important step will be to incorporate these results into the overall Marketing Program and to develop priorities and budget figures for the recommended actions. We believe that implementation of a cohesive and comprehensive Marketing Program will help build a solid future for the MCSC in state government and fulfill your mission within the Michigan volunteer community. �MICHIGAN'S ACCESS AMERICORPS UPDATE January 31, 2002 The Access AmeriCorps initiative, funded through a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service, provides resources to MCSC programs and outreach to Michigan's disability community with the goal of increasing the inclusion of people with disabilities in MCSC programs and activities.

Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan's AmeriCorps FY 2002- 03 Application Process At the December meeting, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) approved the staffs recommendation to not conduct an application process to select new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs based on the staffs projection that no additional resources to support new programs would be available. In December, we were unclear the amount of funds we would have available to support our current formula funded Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. On December 18, 2001 the Corporation for National and Community Service notified the MCSC that we had been allocated $2,618,981 to support formula funded programs in FY 2002-03. This is a reduction of roughly $600,000 from the previous year. Twenty-five of the twenty-six Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are eligible to be renewed. If the MCSC renews all of our current formula funded programs it would equate to $2,866,728. The MCSC will use unspent formula resources from FY 2001 and 2002 to meet our FY 2002-03 formula obligations. In December, the MCSC issued the renewal application guidelines to all of the current programs. The guidelines were discussed on the December program director conference call. The competitive renewal applications were due on January 15, 2002. The formula renewal applications are due April 5, 2002. The staff recommendations for the formula renewals will be presented at the April commission meeting. Please see the staff recommendation memo for the competitive renewal recommendations. MCSC 's Program Division Report- February 12, 2002 �AmeriCorps Alums The MCSC invited Michael Meneer, Executive Director of AmeriCorps Alums, to the January Michigan's AmeriCorps program director meeting to discuss ways to develop an AmeriCorps alumni network in Michigan. Currently, programs are exploring ways to engage alumni in their program activities. The MCSC is also exploring ways to engage alumni in statewide activities such as the member celebration or signature project. Mr. Meneer will be submitting a report from the January meeting. The MCSC staff will continue to explore ways to engage alumni. Learn & Serve- Michigan Learn & Serve-Michigan Grants On January 31, 2002, the MCSC submitted three renewal applications to the Corporation for National Service to continue the service-learning initiative in Michigan. The first renewal application in the amount of $230,000 was to continue supporting the 11 community-based service-learning programs. A draft of the second application was submitted on behalf of the Michigan Department ofEducation in the amount of$777,474 to support the school-based service-learning program. The final application in the amount of$769,555 is to support the collaborative service-learning initiative with the state of Ohio. Institute on Academic Service-Learning The MCSC in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact and Eastern Michigan University will be hosting the Institute on Academic Service-Learning on February 8- 9, 2002. Nearly 250 individuals are expected to attend. Commissioner Christine Kwak will be giving a welcome on behalf ofMCSC at the Institute. She will also brief the audience on the National Commission on Service Learning report that was recently unveiled. In 2000, theW. K. Kellogg Foundation, a longtime supporter of service-learning, appointed the National Commission on Service-Learning to study the current state of this practice in American schools. The Commission, chaired by former United States Senator John Glenn and co-sponsored by the John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy at The Ohio State University, consists of 18 education, government, and community leaders including First Lady Michelle Engler. These leaders spent a year reviewing research data, visiting schools, and questioning students, teachers, and other advocates in order to understand the prevalence and practice of service-learning. In the report, the National Commission on Service-Learning challenges the country to ensure that every chiM in a primary and secondary school participates in quality service-learning every year as an integral and essential part of the American education experience. The Commission makes four specific recommendations to achieve the broad goal of making service-learning a universal experience in American public schools: Reclaim the public purpose of education by expanding the definition of student achievement to include students' community contributions; increase policy, program and financial supports for service-learning in K-12 education; develop a comprehensive system of professional development regarding service-learning; and provide meaningful leadership roles for youth in all aspects of service-learning. The results of this comprehensive study can be explored in greater detail in the Commission's full report at www.servicelearningcommission.org/report.html MCSC 's Program Division Report- February 12, 2002 2 �Volunteer Investment Grants CVIG) VIG 2002 update In September 2001, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified that the $1 million line item for the FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) would be reduced to $907,300 due to state budget cuts. In November 2001, we were notified of an additional cut of$50,000 to bring the available amount of dollars to $857,300. At this point we do not know if we can expect additional cuts for FY 2003. Budget hearings begin next week so we hope to know the status of the VIG funding by the next board meeting in April. Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Program Update After the December board meeting, the MSU 4-H Extension of Isabelle County notified the MCSC that they would be declining their grant due to organizational staff issues. In addition, the legal applicant in Marquette has requested the program be transferred to a new organization citing change in the their mission and organizational priorities. The MCSC is currently negotiating the transfer of the program to the new organization. On December 17, 2001, the MCSC staff held a one-day orientation for the 2002 promise fellow sites. Tri-State Orientation For the past two years, the MCSC has partnered with the Ohio Commission and the Indiana Commission to conduct a three-day orientation for all Promise Fellows from the thr~e states. The third tri-sate orientation was scheduled for January 31 -February 2 in Hillsdale, Michigan. Unfortunately, due to the severe winter storm last week the training was cancelled. It is currently being rescheduled. Training and Technical Assistance Re-launching the Monthly Training and TA newsletter In January, the MCSC re-launched the training and technical assistance newsletter. The Workbench, formerly known as the Overture, is a monthly newsletter that is sent to all national service programs that highlights training and or technical assistance resources, tips, or opportunities. Please see the attached edition. Volunteerism SuperConference The MCSC is involved in the planning of the 2002 Volunteerism SuperConference scheduled for April29 - 30, 2002 at the Lansing Center. Every two years, the SuperConference is held to provide recognition, training, and networking opportunities for Michigan's volunteers. This year's SuperConference theme is The Power of Community. The SuperConference is open to all who are involved in service to their community, including national service program participants. This year, the MCSC will offer a complimentary registration scholarship to all national service programs at a value of$190. More than 600 nonprofit professionals and community volunteers MCSC's Program Division Report- February 12, 2002 3 �are expected to attend the event, which offers 50 workshops and features four plenary sessions. Highlights of this year's conference include the youth track, a national service program track, a service in education track, and the Governor's Service Awards Dinner, both held on Monday, April29. Participants will hear from a number of nationally recognized speakers who have made service to others a major part of their lives, such as: Robert K. Goodwin, President and CEO of the Points of Light Foundation; and Peter Yarrow, from the singing group Peter, Paul and Mary, and his daughter Bethany. Immediately following the SuperConference on Tuesday, April 30, the MCSC, in partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service Michigan Office, and the Office of Services to the Aging, will be convening all national service programs from 2:30 - 5:00PM. Programs from the various streams of service will have the opportunity to network and discuss specific issues common to all streams (AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve) of national service. Leaders from the Corporation for National and Community Service have been invited to participate in this meeting. We hope that you will join us for this exciting opportunity.

The 2002 Volunteerism SuperConference will be held April 29-30, at the Lansing Center in downtown Lansing. Every two years, the SuperConference is held to provide recognition, training, and networking opportunities for Michigan's volunteers. This year's SuperConference theme is The Power of Community. The SuperConference is open to all who are involved in service to their community, including national service program participants. More than 600 nonprofit professionals and community volunteers are expected to attend the event, which offers 50 workshops and features four plenary sessions . Highlights of this year's conference include the Youth Track and the Governor's Service Awards Dinner, both held on Monday, April 29. Participants wi ll hear from a number of nationally recognized speakers who have made service to others a major part of their lives, such as: Robert K. Goodwin, President and CEO of the Points of Light Foundation; and Peter Yarrow, from the singing group Peter, Paul and Mary, and his daughter Bethany. The MCSC is offering a number of registration scholarships for its grantees, and has set aside one scholarship per grantee/program (a $190 value) with the intent that a staff member from each program attends. While the SuperConference is organized and run for volunteers, it also depends on the work of vol unteers to make it a meaningful and effective event. The planning committee is currently accepting applications for SuperConference volunteers. In return for your service you will receive free registration for each day that you volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering for the SuperConference, contact Andrew Younger at (517) 3357952, or email youngera 1@michigan.gov.

Grantsmanship Center Scholarship Opportunities The Grantsmanship Center (TGCI), the world's leading source of grantsmanship training for nearly 30 years, is offering scholarships for their weeklong training workshops to CNS Volunteers. These trainings cover all aspects of grant proposal writing, including researching foundation, corporate and government funding sources, and how to locate those most likely to support their own organizations. The scholarships are worth $337.50, which is half the value of the regular training cost ($675). Though many CNS volunteers and staff (i.e. AmeriCorps) will not be able to use skills gained from this training while completing their term of service, this is an extremely valuable skill for individuals after they have finished. While agency staff members may attend TGCI trainings, the scholarship is offered to CNS volunteers only. The workshops are offered at various dates throughout the country. For more information, contact TGCI at 800-421-9512, or kimberly@tgci.com or visit www.tgci.com.

At the December 14, 2001 Board meeting, the board approved nine sites for the 15 fellows. Immediately following the board meeting, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified by Isabella County that they would be declining their 2002 Promise Fellow grant due to organizational change. As a result, the MCSC has one unallocated Promise Fellow position. On February 5, 2002 the MCSC received a letter from Pathways to Healthy Living requesting the opportunity to apply for one Fellow. They were aware that the MCSC had one unallocated Promise Fellow position and were writing to inquiry about the opportunity to apply for it. Pathways has been a Promise Fellow grantee for the past three years. The staff contacted Pathways to discuss why they did not apply in the original application process, and the specific goals the fellow would be addressing. Based on that discussion, the staff asked them to prepare a Promise Fellow application and submit it for review by February, 22, 2002. The staff will thoroughly review the application.

Other items for your review include: 1. Program Director' s report on the All Streams National Service Meeting on April 30 the Signature Service Project in Muskegon on May 10111 & 11 1\ 111 , and 2. · Outreach Director's report on the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) Marketing Plan (to be addressed during our standing committee reports); and 3. Finance Director's report on the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) audit and the current and future state budgets. National Service Legislation Attached you will find the President's media advisory on principles regarding national service and the reauthorization of the National and Community Service Trust Act. You can view the full document on the CNCS website at: www.cns.gov. It is worth noting that the principles mirror many of the concerns members of the MCSC raised in the correspondence from the Chair and the First Lady to the new CEO of the CNCS, Les Lenkowsky. In publishing a set of principles, the President has avoided getting mired down in a sea of amendments and parochial issues. The agenda for reauthorization now rests in the hands of the U.S . Congress. Again, tllis is similar to the position members of the MCSC adopted in their transmission of a resolution last January. Congress is due to take up reauthorization over the next six months in hopes that a bill could reach the President's desk by the fall at the earliest. �In the meantime, the CNCS has issued a Notice of Funding Available (NOFA) to strengthen communities and organizations in using service and volunteers to support homeland security. The CNCS will make available approximately $5 million under this announcement for AmeriCorps*State and National programs. They anticipate funding approximately 10 to 15 grant awards ranging from $200,000 to $750,000. The CNCS will consider requests to use a portion of the $5 million in new funds earmarked for AmeriCorps*State competitive and National to expand existing programs. The MCSC staff will keep commissioners informed as to what organizations apply for these funds and for what purposes. Michigan Citizen Corps At our previous meeting, I reviewed the national initiative- USA Freedom Corps-as announced by the President in his State of the Union Address to the U.S. Congress. Since then, there has been some heavy activity in the form of community organization around homeland security and in local dialogues around emergency preparedness. In addition, the USA Freedom Corps office is beginning to develop communication strategies to engage the general public. The MCSC staff members have been involved in some ofthese dialogues and have been charged by the Governor to take the lead in the development of Citizen Corps in Michigan. The recent call to action by the President has been meet with enthusiasm by the Governor and as a result, the MCSC will be placed at the center ofthat activity. Governor Engler has ordered that the USA Freedom Corps' new initiative- the Citizen Corps-will be administered by the MCSC. The Governor will unveil his plans at the Governor' s Service Awards program to be held in conjunction with the Volunteerism Superconference on April29, 2002. Commissioners have a draft of the plan included in this packet and will be provided more detailed information at the April29, 2002 meeting. Briefly, the Governor wishes to connect citizen action with emergency preparedness. The attached talking points further detail this initiative. The bulk of my report presentation at our next meeting will detail this initiative. 2 �Corporation for National and Community Service FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 9, 2002 CONTACT: Sandy Scott sscott@cns.gov 202-606-5000 ext. 255 President Bush Unveils Principles to Strengthen National Service "Citizen Service Act" Would Expand and Improve AmeriCorps, Senior Corps (Washington, D.C.)- In Connecticut this morning, President Bush unveiled his principles to strengthen and reform the programs of the Corporation for National .and Community Service. The President's proposal was shared on Capitol Hill by Corporation CEO Leslie Lenkowsky, who testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee simultaneously. The President released a 17-page "Principles and Reforms for a Citizen Service Act" to guide the reauthorization of the Corporation and its programs AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America. These programs engage 2 million Americans in service to meet critical community needs each year. The proposed 5-year extension would be the first since the Corporation's creation in 1993. Earlier this year, the President proposed increasing AmeriCorps by 25,000 members and Senior Corps by 100,000 in his 2003 budget. "Reforming and enhancing AmeriComs and Senior Corps are important steps in providing hundreds of thousands of Americans with meaningful service opportunities," said President Bush. "I look forward to working with the Congress in a bipartisan fashion to ensure the federal government does its part to support the commitment of Americans to our communities and our Nation." The President made his remarks to volunteers in Bridgeport after touring an after-school program run by Save the Children. The "Web of Support" after-school program uses AmeriCorps members and Foster Grandparents to tutor and teach computer skills to 200 Bridgeport children. Lenkowsky fleshed out the President's principles at the Senate HELP �committee hearing on the Corporation's reauthorization. The principles have four major objectives : • • • • Support and encourage greater engagement of citizens in volunteering, such as by making volunteer mobilization a priority, lowering the age for Senior Corps from 60 to 55 , and improving the benefits for ArneriCorps service. Make Federal funds more responsive to state and local needs, including giving states more authority to select AmeriCorps programs, providing greater flexibility, and allowing ArneriCorps members to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations where they serve. Make Federal support more accountable and effective, such as by directing grantees to specify program objectives and meet accountability requirements established by the Corporation. Provide greater assistance to secular and faith-based community organizations, by among other things making ArneriCorps*VISTA even more helpful to groups on the frontlines of helping the poor and needy. Lenkowsky thanked Chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Ranking member Judd Gregg (R-NH) and committee members for their longstanding support of national service, and pledged to work with them to put the Corporation on a strong, bipartisan footing for its second decade. On Thursday, Lenkowsky testifies on reauthorization before the House Subcommittee on Select Education. "Since the Corporation was created in 1993, it has accomplished a great deal," said Lenkowsky. "But to better help build a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility, we must use the lessons of the past decade to strengthen the quality of the Corporation's efforts and assist more Americans to serve their communities and their country." In his State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, President Bush called on all Americans to serve their country for the equivalent of two years and announced the creation ofUSA Freedom Corps. USA Freedom Corps is a comprehensive, integrated citizen service initiative to engage more citizens in service at home and abroad by strengthening ArneriCorps, Senior Corps and the Peace Corps, and by establishing a new Citizen Corps for homeland defense. Americans have responded to the President's call. Since the speech, online applications to ArneriCorps have shot up 70 percent, and interest in Senior Corps has risen even more. The Freedom Corps website has had 9 million hits. A blue-ribbon committee, chaired by former Senator John Glenn, has just called upon the nation's schools to invest more �heavily in service-learning, a teaching method that combines academic learning with community service. "This is an extraordinary moment in the history of our country and the agency I head," said Lenkowksy. "At a tragically high price, all of us have come to realize how precious our freedoms are and why it is important for all of us to accept the responsibilities of citizenship in order to preserve them. The President's Citizen Service Act will usher in a new era of service for our country, and I hope Congress will act quickly to seize this moment." Created in 1993, the Corporation for National and Community Service engages more than 1.5 million Americans annually in improving their communities through three programs: AmeriComs, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America.

The President has gathered a people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th. "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride - and to harness it to a great national purpose." President George W. Bush • Homeland security is a vital national as well as local interest. The events of September 11th changed and amplified how American's view their roles in society making service and volunteerism more important now than ever before. • Locally engaged citizens are the greatest defense to security threats, the most powerful resource in times of crisis and the most enduring form of community problem solving. • Michigan has taken a proactive approach to crisis management and has an emergency response plan through the Emergency Management Division of the Michigan State Police that directs and focuses the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency management organizations. This executive order builds on these plans and combines their forces by engaging citizens in service and expanding the resources available in response to crisis as well as in prevention and community strengthening. • Michigan has developed a strong infrastructure for helping its citizens serve their communities through a statewide alliance for volunteerism-the ConnectMichigan Alliance, a network of volunteer centers, a wide array of national service programs like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps, service-learning initiatives in schools, community collaboratives like America's Promise, annual activities like Make A Difference Day, and recognition programs like the Governor:s Service Awards. �• The Michigan Citizen Corps will establish an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission that will: o o o o Submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor; support the development and coordination of local citizen corps councils; broker federal , state and local resources including national service programs, for local volunteer citizen corps initiatives; and coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. • The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will comprise 12 members and will mirror local councils in their make up by including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, businesses, community-based volunteer organizations, schools, places of worship, health care institutions, public works, social service agencies and other key sectors. • The local Citizen Corps Councils will provide universal coverage (at a minimum, every Michigan county will be served by a council) for the coordination of engaged and prepared local volunteers and emergency management organizations. • By combining the emergency management forces with volunteer-based organizations, Michigan is ensuring that communities are better prepared in times of crisis or threat while strengthening the civic fabric of our society. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Finance & Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Finance & Administration Division's Report DATE: April 11, 2002 n _{)·1 The following is a brief update of the current issues facing the Finance and Administration Division. FY 2002 Spending As oftoday, the State's accounting system has not closed out the second quarter of the fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2002. I expect the quarter to be closed by April 15 and I will be able to run reports the following day. I will hand out the comparative financial statement ending March 31,2002 at the Commission meeting on April29. FY 2003 Budget Process Our budget has passed through the House and is just starting in Committee in the Senate. At this point, we have not had any further changes to our budget. We are hoping that the budget will go to the full Senate by the middle of May. Federal Audit There have been major changes during the last couple of months regarding our CNS audit. First, the Auditor General was replaced and the scope of our audit was officially cut back. Instead of being audited from 1994 to the present, the new AG has cut back the scope of the audit to 1998 and forward. This has been a huge benefit for us. Some of our programs from the early years were having a hard time producing records. Many were operating on the federal retention timetable of3 years past the end of the grant and had disposed of their records. And, second, we had our on-site audit of the Commission. Cotton and Company was on site from March 4th through the 15th_ The on-site audit went very well and we were extremely �pleased with the comments and observations during our informal exit meeting. At this time, no formal results are available but we did get some good suggestions at the meeting for changing and updating our current procedures. In addition, the audit firm is finishing up the sub-grantee audits in the field. In the last couple of weeks, they have visited the Family Independence Agency and the Department of Agriculture. With the smaller scope of the audit, we expect that the timeframe for completing the audit will be shortened, as Cotton and Company were able to cut out some sub-grantee audits that were outside the new timeframes. Personnel Matters We have received approval form the Department of Management and Budget on the hiring freeze waiver for the vacant Grants Coordinator position. Interviews were performed on April4 and a preferred candidate was selected. The hiring packet is with the Department of Career Development for approval. We expect approval any day and hope to have our latest staff member on board by the end of the month. If you have any questions or concerns that I can help you with, please feel free to call me at (517) 373-8028 or email at grossg@michigan.gov. 2 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Comparative Financial StatemenVFY 2002/2nd Quarter As of March 31 , 2002 STATE FUNDS Budget Actual FEDERAL FUNDS Actual Bud~et REVENUES 5,857,300 5,857,300 Current Year Prior Year Carryover 0 0 7,740,442 7,740,442 543,298 543,298 0 122,524 0 122,524 13,597,742 13,597,742 665,822 665,822 5,857,300 5,857,300 8,283,740 8,283,740 122,524 122,524 14,263,564 14,263,564 Program Operational 4,857,300 4,857,300 63,433 0 7,383,289 6,711,008 53,140 0 10,000 0 0 0 12,250,589 11,568,308 116,573 0 Total Sub Grants 4,920,733 4,857,300 7,436,429 6,711 ,008 10,000 0 12,367,162 11,568,308 Total Revenues PRIVATE FUNDS Actual Bud~et TOTALS Budget Actual SUB-GRANTS OPER.
