Romney Lansing , Telephone : FAX: Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capito l Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335 -4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director; f ( RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 Things have heated up at the national and state levels over the past three months and the MCSC has been in the thick of both arenas. This report will provide you an update on the organization's work over the past 90 days and give some insights on potential future developments. As always, copies of departmental repmis are attached for your general information. Making It Happen Service-Learning in Michigan At the May 21, 2001 meeting, staff will provide a brief presentation on service-learning in Michigan and describe the efforts MCSC is taking, in partnership with others, to advance this innovative teaching methodology. MCSC Budget As Garry Gross's report describes, the State of Michigan is forecasting a $600 million shortfall in the current budget. This shortfall has precipitated an immediate and comprehensive hiring freeze, cuts in current state funding for programs and administration, rescission of all but a precious few carry over requests, and a re-examination of budget forecasts for FY 2002. While the staff expects only minor reductions in services and operations for this year, we are looking very carefully at next year's budget. �Interestingly enough, because of the recently implemented budget tracking systems implemented by the Finance and Administration staff, we are able to more effectively track our spending and projected expenditures by division and funding stream. This will allow us to make more accurate forecasts from which to plan for the long- and short-term future. This system also allows us to be more responsive to the current volatile financial landscape. Office Relocation Current estimates point toward the MCSC changing its location from the Romney Building in downtown Lansing to 1048 Pierpont- just north of I -96 and Cedar Street in south Lansing by June 1, 2001. This building will also serve as the future location ofthe Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, and the ConnectMichigan Alliance. Be July 1, 2001 all parties should be moved into this new space. A detailed floor plan and map will be provided at the May 21, 2001 meeting. MCSC's National Service Funding The Executive Committee approved the staff recommendations for Michigan's Ameri Corps formula funding for new and renewing applicants. The full commission empowered the Executive Committee to make this decision on their behalf due to the scheduling conflicts brought on by the late publication of the guidelines provided by the Corporation for National Service (the Corporation). The FY 2002 budget for the Corporation will essentially remain the same as the previous fiscal year with the exception of new programs for the Senior Corps programs (see press release attached). These new programs-Silver Scholarships and Veteran's Mission for Youth-are slated to start up next October or December. State commissions are eligible to apply for some of these funds either in partnership with other organizations or independently. The final regulations will be published in the fall and staff will keep you informed of any implications for Michigan's volunteers. The MCSC, Corporation Michigan Office, Office on Services to the Aging and other Senior Corps programs will gather to discuss a unified response to the funding regulations once they are published to voice support and any concerns with the implementation of the program. Governor's Service Awards The Governor and First Lady, in partnership with the MCSC and Ameritech, will recognize 69 finalists for the Governor's Service Awards the Eighth Annual Governor's Service Awards program. Attendance for the event is peaking at 700! This year's program will include a video presentation of the finalists. Those of you attending will have reserved seating and staff will be on hand to direct you to your seat. Youth Poster Contest The Youth Poster for this year has been selected and will be unveiled at the Governor's Service Awards Program. Special thanks to commissioners Collier, Mawby, Kwak and Wesaw for their contributions to the Poster Contest and especially commissioner Cummings for her challenge grant! �Site Visit by Corporation for National Service The follow up to our site visit from the Corporation for National Service is included as an attachment for your review and consideration. Insights on the Vision Faith-based and Community Initiative The President' s Faith-based and Community Initiative has captured the attention of the nation in ways likely not initially anticipated. Support and criticism alike has been hurled at the President and the individual he has appointed to head up the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, John Dilulio, Jr. It seems that many faith and community-based organization are uncomfortable with potential changes in distribution rules for federal funds while others are support of the possibilities a new, non-discriminatory landscape can offer to their organizations and the people they serve. What is unclear is the impact on those organizations that distribute federal resources or accept them with state and private match funds . In anticipation of any future changes, the MCSC staff performed a brief scan of the Corporation funding MCSC distributes to determine which, if any, faith-based organizations it currently funds . The list with brief descriptions is attached. It is difficult to present any strategies or potential new directions for your consideration at this time as the Whitehouse itself is wrestling with this issue and what it truly means for communities and the federal funds they receive. States are working to determine their own strategies as well. Indiana has charged its human services agency (the counterpart to Michigan's Family Independence Agency) with forming a strategy that links family services with faith-based organizations (see internet article attached) called Faith Works. Other states will likely form strategies this Indiana's to get align themselves with the Whitehouse's drive in this area. I have provided the Governor's Office with a briefing memo on Michigan's nonprofit and philanthropic landscape that may provide some context for our own work (see memo to Anne Mervenne). You will note that the Michigan Legislature is considering establishing a parallel office on Faithbased and Community Initiatives. The MCSC staff will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as new information becomes available. Future for the work of the MCSC An update of the development of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) will be discussed in the Executive Committee Report. The future direction ofthe MCSC, in light of the CMA and changes at the national level will be taken up at our September retreat. Staff is working to prepare for implementing the visioning document that was adopted at our February meeting, but the retreat will provide an opportunity to "put meat on the bones" and provide detail and direction to the general vision. This will be an exciting four months! Thank you . �.APR 1 7 2001 April II, 2001 Mr. Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission George Romney Building, 4 111 Floor Ill South Capitol Ave. Lansing, MI 48913 AmeriCorps National Service C 0 R P 0 RAT I 0 N FOR NATIONAL rJ sERVICE Dear Kyle ; I want to thank you Paula, Gary, Beth and the rest of the staff for arranging my site visit to Michigan from February 7-9 , 2001. It was a pleasure spending time with the commission staff, Commissioners, and program staff. As an orientation visit it was a pleasure to get to know the people and operations of the Commission in face to face meetings . T he meetings with staff clarified the policies and procedures of yo ur operation and my attendance at the Commission meeting provided an opportunity to observe the strong commitment and interest of your Commissioners. Dr. Mawby ' s leadership abilities and years of experience with the Kello g Foundati on make him a strong Chair of the Comm ission. Ms. Engler's obvious involvement and support provide great vis ibility to the Commission within the state. This letter will serve as my official report to the Commission and is a summary of my observati ons. • The Commission staff are well trained and experienced with the management and oversight of AmeriCorps programs. However. the increase in the scope and depth of the Commission 's service responsibi lities within the state place heavy demands on the current staff. Plans to take on additional responsibilities like management of the Learn and Serve program , new policy initiatives and support to the new Connect Michigan Campaign without i'ldditional staff raise serious concerns regardi ng the Commission's span of control and oversight ability. • The new Co nnect Michigan Campaign will strengthen the coordination and collaboratio n among Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan No nprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Commission . This initiative wi ll provide opportuniti es to expand community and vo lunteer service in the state thus impact the lives of a greater number of citi zens . • While the plans to relocate the Commission's office wi ll temporaril y di srupt operations, co- locating with other serv ice partners wi ll strengthen collaboration of service activiti es within the state. 1201 New York Avenue. NW Washington, DC 20525 Telephone 202-606-5000 Getting Things Done. AmeriCorps. National Service Learn and Serve America National Senior Service Corps �• My participation in the Commission meeting provided an opportunity to observe the interest and commitment of the Commissioners, their familiarity with the operation and the respect they exhibit to the Commission staff. Dr. Mawbry ' s new leadership will undoubtedly move the Commi ion to higher levels of service to the communities ofMichigan . • I observed a number of best practices while preparing and conducting the visit. The Commission ' s strategic approach to the implementation of the Promise Fellows Program will strengthen the Michigan communities of promise. The Commis ion has developed a strategic plan related to the Michigan Learn and erve initiative that will bring greater focus to the school based programs. The Commission ' s success in garnering funds from theW. K. Kellog Foundation to advance service learning public policy, best practices, and advocacy will not only contribute to the state educational ystem but also serve as a national model. Finally there are a few suggestions for strengthening your current operations: While the Commission staff has written procedures and tools for program site vi it , progress report and FSR reviews, and other monitoring practices, the Commission may want to consider documenting all activities related to program monitoring. A comprehensive guide that makes it clear the full range of these activities including site visits, phone consultations, member record reviews, FSR progress report reviews, followup reports and compliance follow-up . The Commission may want to consider the development a document that describes the practices, procedures, and tools currently implemented to monitor financial operations and compliance follow up of the Commission. The Commission may want to consider developing a similar document of the procedures and policies for the selection, training, and supervision of Commission staff that are currently in place. I look forward to my next visit to Michigan. A special thanks to Beth for including me in her site visit and wish for continued success during her graduate studies. Please let Paula know that I am backing her in the Chicago Breast Cancer walk and very impressed with her commitment to such a special cause. And Kyle I hope this week has really been a vacation for you and your family. :;;z~ Lee Lacy enior Program 0 1cer �Examples of How Current Michigan's AmeriCorps Programs Partner with Faith-Based Organizations (This is not an exhaustive list.)

Ameri Corps* VIST A members coordinate the program 2 �Corporation for National Service National Organization Initiative Faith-Based Partnerships In the fall of 1998, National Senior Corps division of the Corporation for National Service funded the National Organizational Initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to promote senior service through national organizations and their netv.rork of affiliates and to promote older volunteers as a resource in accomplishing the organizations ' objectives. Through this initiative Senior Corps has assured that eight large national organizations and their affiliates include senior service as a strategy for achieving their organizational obj ectives . Because of this initiative, influential leaders at the national and local levels are gaining greater understanding of the value of seniors and Senior Corps programs in helping to address priority community needs especially the needs of vulnerable children and youth, and the frail elderly. As more leaders become educated on the power of senior service, communities across the country will begin to tum to seniors and Senior Corps programs as a resource in addressing community needs . Three ofthe National Organization Initiative partnerships are with Faith-Based organizations. These include : • Catholic Charities USA -This is the second largest private social service organization in the United States with a network of over 1,400 social service agencies and institutions . Together with its member agencies, Catholic Charities USA assists over 12 million people in need each year. • Lutheran Services in America (LSA) - LSA is a national organization committed to networking, leadership, human resource support and public policy information to its 280 social ministry organization affiliates . LSA affiliates deliver $3 billion in services annually to 2 million people in 3,000 urban and rural communities . • Volunteers of America (VOA) - VOA is a Faith-Based charitable non-profit organization founded in 1896. VOA responds to community needs by providing help to abused and neglected children, youth at risk, the frail elderl y, the disabl e~ , the homeless and many others. VOA works with 41 community based affiliates in 39 states serving over 1.5 million people. In 1999, Senior Corps also developed a model program with Habitat for Humanity International. Through this initiative community partnerships were developed between selected RSVP projects and Habitat for Humanity affiliates. The purpose was to mobilize RSVP volunteers to help build the capacity of Habitat for Humanity affiliates to achieve their goal of moving more people out of substandard housing and into their own homes . This model program has been very successful, and Senior Corps is in the process of including Habitat for Humanity in the National Organization Initiative to promote the model throughout the more than 1,500 affiliates of Habitat for Humanity. • Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI)- HFHI is an ecumenical Christian housing ministry founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. The mission of HFHI is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world by partnering with homeowner families to build affordable housing . HFHI has over 1600 affiliates in the United States and has a grow ing network of affiliates in 70 countries . �DRAFT MEMORANDUM TO: Anne Mervenne, Special Assistant to the Governor FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Faith-based and Community Initiative Meeting DATE: March 23, 2001 I again apologize for not being available for a meeting to discuss Michigan's potential role in the President's Faith-based and Community Initiative. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) may be very interested in helping advance the Governor's and President's mutual agendas in this area. Please keep me in mind and I will try to attend future meetings of this group. For now, I have scribbled out some notes for you. These are very much in the draft stage and I am not wedded to anything. However, I would like to emphasize that I believe the best strategy is one that addresses faith- AND community-based issues within the frame of supporting nonprofits generally. Clearly, one of the reasons the Whitehouse is bogged down with this has to do with the fervor around money and the Constitutional Church/State issue. For Michigan, I don't think that it has to be that complicated so long as we remain focused on how state government can remove its barriers to the nonprofit (faith- and community-based) organizations in Michigan. For ease and conciseness, I am not going to go into the politics of this initiative at either the national or state level. This is merely meant to serve as a talking point for the concept. I assume that HB4157 and other political factors will be discussed in future conversations in addition to this initial meeting. �Faith Based Meeting Memo Page 2 of2 Background President Bush directed that his administration will advance a three-pronged agenda regarding the relationship between the federal government and faith-based and community-based organizations. Specifically, the faith-based and community agenda will be organized around three lines of action: • Identifying and eliminating improper Federal barriers to effective faith-based and community-serving programs through legislative, regulatory, and programmatic reforms; • Stimulating an outpouring of private giving to nonprofits, faith-based programs, and community groups by expanding tax deductions and through other initiatives; and • Pioneering a new model of cooperation through Federal initiatives that expand the involvement of faith-based and community groups in after-school and literacy services, help the children of prisoners, and support other citizens in need. The President has appointed a special office to deal with this strategy and alluded to changing the way national service operates by appointed Steven Goldsmith to the board of the Corporation for National Service (CNS). Along with CNS, it is very likely that other national nonprofit organizations are going to try and play a role in this directive including the Points of Light Foundation, United Way of America, America' s Promise, Council on Foundations and the like. Michigan Landscape When we look at Michigan, there are a number of existing efforts Governor Engler and the Michigan Legislature have established that address some of the issues identified. • Michigan Government is More Accessible - As recommended by the Seccia Commission Report, the state has embraced a "customer focused" approach to delivering services. This includes doing business smarter and creating one-stop centers for state services. In addition, taxes have been reduced and simplified, easing the burden on businesses and community-based organizations. New efforts guided bye-Michigan will further expand the accessibility ofthe state services. • Michigan is a Charity-friendly State - Michigan is one of the only states to provide a tax credit for contributions given to Community Foundations thereby expanding the giving incentives to Michigan ' s taxpayers. The Michigan State Legislature has extended the tax credit and lifted the December 31 , 1997 sunset provision under the Income Tax Act for contributions to an endowment fund of a certified community foundation. Governor Engler proclaimed November 15 as Philanthropy Day in Michigan. Michigan is home to one of the nation's leading regional association of grant makers (Council of Michigan Foundations) and currently every Michigan community is served by a community foundation.

Through a $20 million endowment, the combined forces of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCQ; Michigan Community Service Commission (MC:SQ; Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA); and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) permanently sustains and expands the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. Once the campaign is completed, the ConnectMichigan Alliance begins to achieve its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This goal is met by: • • • • Providing access to a strong and healthy volunteer center for every Michigan resident; Having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service & learning among its students, faculty and staff; Building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based, and civic needs; and Maximizing state and federal resources to empower communities to address their local challenges. "The rrngpitude if our social prr};lem uill require that all citizens and institutions rrnke a rommitrrmt to uiuntt:erirrg, as a wry iflife and as a prirrnry opportunity to create m:ded chang:. " Gm.emor Georg! W Romney, 1907-1995 Governor Romney's words ring as true today as ever before. Volunteers and the positive impact they have on our communities can change the way we live. But what maintains the momentum for our volunteers? What supports their work and recognizes their efforts? What encourages all people to give their time, talents and resources to communities? The answer in Michigan is clear: Michigan has a proud tradition of supporting volunteer efforts through what we commonly call our nonprofit infrastructure. The Alliance: Genuine Collaboration Separate, but working in collaboration, these organizations have combined to build a powerful force for volunteerism in Michigan. Major components of the Alliance infrastructure include: • Michigan Campus Compact - an association of 33 colleges and universities that have joined a compact that works to instill an ethic of service-learning and civic action in the college students of today; �• • • Michigan Community Service Commission - a governmental body that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts; Michigan Nonprofit Association - an association for nonprofits to give voice and build capacity of the vast array of the state's nonprofit organizations and the constituents they serve; and Volunteer Centers of Michigan - a statewide network of volunteer centers helping local communities solve community problems by matching volunteers with volunteer opportunities. In October of 2000, these partnering organizations (MCC, MCSC, JviNA & VOvl) commined to build a permanent infrastructure for volunteers in Michigan by forming the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance combines the leadership and resources of the four partnering organizations for the good of the volunteerism field. Never before has such a diverse and powerful partnership been formed on a statewide level. This innovative partnership leverages additional financial and human resources; reduces duplication of efforts; creates a seamless support structure for Michigan's volunteers; establishes new programs and initiatives; and eliminates wasteful expenditures of vital resources. The ConnectMichigan Alliance continues one of the states most powerful legacies - service and volunteerism The Campaign Sustaining and strengthening these assets is the purpose of the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign. At the completion of the campaign, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be supported by a $20 million endowment that was created in an extraordinary way. In June 2000, Governor John Engler signed into law a bill providing a challenge grant to build the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment. This grant provides up to $10 million that must be matched on a one dollar for one dollar basis by the private sector no later than November of 2002. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/ private partnership that truly builds a longterm support mechanism for Michigan's volunteers. The Leadership The creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Leadership demonstrates the scope and depth of the ethic of service and volunteerism in Michigan. As we all know, community service and volunteerism realize their greatest potential when they become vehicles to connect people of differing and unique backgrounds to solve problems. Hence, the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign is supported and spear- headed by over 30 leaders from the philanthropic community, government, corporate sector and individuals concerned about supporting Michigan's volunteers. Michelle Engler, Michigan Community Service Commission; Julie Fisher-Cummings, Lovelight Foundation; and William Richardson, W. K. Kellogg Foundation provide leadership as the chairs of this blue-ribbon comminee.

This important alliance sustains state-level volunteer and service efforts. It is a partnership that will ensure the long-term success of vital programs in a way not possible without the alliance. The largest challenge each of the individual founding partners of the ConnectMichigan Alliance face is sustainability- how to provide effective and essential services and maintain their capacity to serve Michigan's citizens. Annual fundraising and constant budget cuts take away from the quality of support these organizations provide. In order to become stronger support agents of local change these groups need a powerful statewide network to provide resources, guidance and technical assistance whenever Michigan volunteers need them. As you have read, the current goal is to secure $20 million in endowment funds from two funding sources. The state of Michigan has challenged the private sector to match a $10 million challenge grant on a one dollar for one dollar basis, over the next two years, for the purpose of creating an endowment that will continue the commitment to Michigan's volunteers into perpetuity. The endowment provides resources necessary to sustain the current level of quality service and programming as well as enhance and expand new and existing community and statewide programs. We have a unique and unprecedented opportunity to enhance the quality of life in communities throughout the state of Michigan and leave a legacy of volunteerism, servicelearning and civic engagement that will benefit generations to come. Now is the time to shape the future of Michigan's volunteers and those they serve.

Rationale and Legacy Service: The Thread that Connects our Communities Individuals and communities, all around, constantly remind us that their challenges can often be traced back to how and whether individuals connect. In fact, it is this same "disconnectedness" that allows us to tum a blind eye to challenges within our community. Neighbor not understanding neighbor, adults not understanding children, places of worship not tolerating other places of worship and cultures not embracing other cultures are all fed by our inability to connect. It is the ease with which we leave our homes in the morning and return in the evening, having never interacted with members of our community, which promotes our sequestering. And yet, how many of us wish that we'd hear some "good news" about our communities for a change? There are an abundance of stories on the evening news about shootings at schools, neglect of the elderly and prevailing theft in our neighborhoods. However, there are equally compelling examples of our ability to reconnect individuals in communities through service to others that we do not hear. More than 80 percent of Americans agree, disconnection is an underlying characteristic of many of our social problems. And more than 90 percent of Americans believe that connecting with others and working together through volunteer service can bridge the differences that separate people and help solve community problems . Concerned citizens joining forces can reclaim their neighborhoods, shepard their children, protect their elders, teach their peers, and for all intensive purposes change the world. A visit to the Points of Light Foundation's web site (www.pointsoflight.org), introduces you to daily Points of Light where everyday people are giving of themselves to create positive change where it is needed. There are many Michiganians in that proud company, lending support to our long- held belief that our state is a place of caring and compassion. ConnectMichigan Alliance: Tying Communities Together While much time is spent focusing on the "disconnect" of individuals from society in general, the ConnectMichigan Alliance addresses the disconnect on a different level -- the detachment of those who want to be involved from those who need assistance. Our Mission is to promote life-long community service and civic engagement through the support of community-building initiatives. Our Goal is to ensure that any citizen who wishes to be involved has the opportunity to do so. �2 Our Vision is that community service, volunteerism and civic engagement become engrained in the human ethic, and that it becomes so integral to our culture that it does not need a measure of distinction. While this initiative may be considered lofty, ambitious and idealistic, it should also be considered necessary and entirely possible. "The magnitude of our social problems will require that all citizens and institutions make a commitment to volunteering as a way of life and as a primary opportunity to create needed change," said the late Governor George W. Romney. Michigan leaders have long envisioned volunteerism as an important support system for services and programs helping people throughout the state. This vision was exemplified by Governor Romney's passion for community that made him a very effective leader and citizen. Governor Romney declared, "The most powerful problem-solving force on earth is the organized voluntary cooperation of a free people." The governor was recognized nationally as a leader in the volunteer movement. He was the founder of the National Volunteer Center, served as a founding trustee of the Points of Light Foundation and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. Governor Romney also led the development of a number of community volunteer centers in Michigan. The vision and work of the late governor is the foundation on which Michigan has built an infrastructure to connect neighborhoods, communities, institutions and the state in volunteer service. Creating Connections Through Community Service The four organizations included in this new partnership, promoting statewide civic responsibility, currently provide programs and services that are the foundation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance: Michigan Campus Compact: Connecting college students with their communities through community service, service-learning and civic engagement. Mission: Michigan Campus Compact (MCQ is a coalition of Michigan's university and college presidents whose purpose is to facilitate, on their campuses, a commitment to community service that will lead students to develop a life-long service ethic and will promote service-learning in the curriculum Description: MCC is an association of 33 Michigan colleges and universities that promotes citizenship and civic responsibility for students, staff, faculty and campuses by encouraging service experiences for students. These experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong ethic of community service and civic responsibility. Students learn to reflect critically on the world around them, learn the power of their education and take an active role in their community by becoming directly involved with social problems and their solutions. �3 Founded in 1989 as one of the first state campus compacts, MCC began as a president's based demonstration project funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Initially, nine college and university presidents joined the Compact. However, MCC has grown to 33 members because of its success at serving young people, retaining existing members and attracting new campuses. Today, programs such as MCC's venture grants, recognition awards for students and faculty, training and leadership development continue to provide and expand volunteerism and civic action among college students and their campus communities. These activities legitimize and honor campuses, as well as prepare students and faculty to become more civically engaged in their communities and throughout the state. Volunteer Centers ofMichigan: Creating Opportunities for Local Community Connections Mission: Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is dedicated to mobilizing people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems . Description: VCM is part of the Volunteer Center National Network, working in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation to meet volunteer needs in 450 communities nationwide. VCM is recognized as a national leader in the volunteerism movement and was the first to hire a full-time staff. The organization achieves its mission by offering programs and services that connect people with opportunities to serve, building capacity for effective local volunteering, promoting volunteerism and participating in strategic initiatives that mobilize volunteers to meet local needs. VCM has 34local community volunteer centers with many more in development. These local programs impact volunteers by providing them with volunteer opportunities matched with their skill and interest level. The local centers also impact nonprofits by providing them with appropriate volunteers for their tasks. In fact, volunteer centers are evolving in their attempts to create meaningful community change by focusing their efforts around four core competencies: 1. Connecting people with opportunities to serve (serves full community by maintaining accurate and timely information); 2. Building the capacity for effective local volunteering (training, technical assistance and support to local nonprofits); 3. Promoting volunteerism (recruitment and recognition activities); and 4. Participating in strategic initiatives (community problem-solving). The statewide Volunteer Centers of Michigan provides technical assistance to local volunteer centers through retreats; training; funding; and consultation to strengthen their capacity to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities to their communities. Michigan Nonprofit Association: Increasing Nonprofit Capacity to Maximize Community Connections Mission: The Michigan Nonprofit Association's (lv1:N"A) mission is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of volunteerism and philanthropy in the state. �4 Description: MNA represents and serves nonprofits located in rural, suburban and metropolitan areas throughout Michigan. The membership of 1v1NA believes that strong and vital nonprofits are essential in building and maintaining healthy and vibrant communities. Funded in part by theW. K. Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Mott Foundation, MNA provides services and technical assistance to its members. Services provided include conferences and trainings designed to build organizational capacity, cost-effective insurance coverage for nonprofit organizations and employees, public policy updates, mini-grant funding to support volunteerism and discounts on a variety of publications. Founded in 1990, MNA has grown to 600 members who represent every part of the state as well as the great diversity of the sector. MNA is not only an important advocate for the nonprofit sector, it also acts as a clearinghouse where member organizations can share information, regardless of the barriers of distance or financial resources. The Michigan Community Service Commission: Encouraging Community Connections to Find Community Solutions Mission: The Michigan ())mmunity Service ())mmission (MCSQ is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Description: Governor Engler created MC:SC in 1991 by Executive Order. The organization serves as a Grantmaker for local programs, administers national service programs including Learn and Serve programs and provides training for grantees . Among the organization's programs and services is America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth. Led by General ())lin Powell since 1997, it is the goal of America's Promise to recruit youth volunteers and provide America's youth with the essential resources to become healthy and productive adults. Michigan's Promise is the state's response to the national America's Promise effort. Launched in 1997, the Michigan's Promise promotes services for children. MCSC also administers Make A Difference Day in Michigan. It is a day when friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers join with nonprofits, schools, local business and service organizations to take part in projects to better their communities. Michigan's Model: ConnectMichigan Alliance The ())nnectMichigan Alliance will be funded, in large part, by an endowment created to ensure long-term sustainabilitywhile supporting the development of new and innovative programs to promote volunteerism and service-learning throughout Michigan. The ConnectMichigan Alliance vision is to secure $20 million in endowment funds from two funding streams. The state of Michigan has challenged the private sector to match $10 million, one dollar for one dollar, to initiate an endowment to continue Michigan's commitment to community service in perpetuity. The endowment will provide the funds necessary to sustain administration; services and programming at their current level; to enhance and expand current programs and services; and to develop new and . . mnovanve programs. �5 In a recently completed visioning process, opportunities were identified to further the support and promotion of volunteerism and service throughout Michigan. Two priorities were established for the ConnectMichigan Alliance: 1. The ConnectMichigan Alliance increases the organizational capacities of existing statewide volunteer, community service, civic engagement and service-learning infrastructure organizations and local organizations as they work together to address the increasing need for Michigan residents to have accessible opportunities to reconnect or remain connected with other individuals in their communities; and 2. The ConnectMichigan Alliance further reduces duplication of effort (a process begun in 199 5), creating a sustainable annual support system for existing and developing volunteer and service-learning initiatives on both the state and local levels and preparing Michigan for potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism and service-learning. The implementation and long-term impact of the ConnectMichigan Alliance can be illustrated as a five-step approach that utilizes the expertise of community, state and national service organizations with the ultimate result and end goal being the mobilization of individual citizens to enhance the quality of life in communities throughout Michigan. CONNECT MICHIGAN Public Education Campaign The ConnectMichigan Alliance educates Michigan residents through the development and implementation of statewide public education campaigns in partnership with state and local organizations. Public education initiatives will be comprehensive in nature with an emphasis on identifying issues and opportunities, and recognition efforts on the part of individuals and organizations throughout the state. Resource Development The ConnectMichigan Alliance enhances and expands the training and technical assistance capacities of both MCC and VCM. The ConnectMichigan Alliance provides expanded resources in the form of �6 grants to local initiatives. The O:mnectMichigan Alliance also develops a broad range of resource material for local communities in the areas of volunteer development, service-learning programming, establishing and nurturing collaborative efforts, and managing statistical and volunteer management. Strengthen Infrastructures Increased capacity enables the ConnectMichigan Alliance to enhance and expand existing MCC and VCM program and services; including grantmaking to local volunteer centers, institutions of higher learning and local initiatives; enhancing the technological capacity of volunteer and service-learning initiatives throughout the state; and providing opportunities for young people and families by developing and implementing grant opportunities for youth initiatives. The ConnectMichigan Alliance reduces administrative overhead and duplication in existing statewide volunteer and service-learning initiatives. For the first time, statewide volunteer and service-learning programs and services for people of all ages will be housed under one roof - - under one administration. Network Development The current state of disconnectedness is not limited to individuals. The ConnectMichigan Alliance continues and expands existing networks that support association discussion and training covering a broad base of topics that relate to all organizations utilizing volunteers and conducting servicelearning initiatives. Network discussion also facilitates the dialogue and development of training, workshops and conferences focusing on specialized needs of local and regional organizations. Another area of focus for the ConnectMichigan Alliance is research and development of corporate volunteer councils and statewide networks that support them Mobilization of People Improving connection within communities throughout Michigan is the strategy that achieves the ultimate goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The strategy builds upon existing initiatives including Make A Difference Day, Day of Caring and National Volunteer Week-- to provide opportunities for people and organizations to connect through meaningful volunteerism and community service. Strategies are structured to engage entire communities in meaningful activities designed to promote continued civic engagement and connectedness. Conclusion The leadership of Michigan envisions a day when individuals work with neighbors to solve some of the challenges facing their community. To help end the disconnectedness felt by many in this state, everyone from the young to the elderly must have opportunities to participate in service-learning and volunteerism. When people work together, they begin to work through differences and begin to build the shared understanding that exists in resolving conflicts. By spanning the continuum of age, race, religion and income level the ConnectMichigan Alliance will continue to strengthen our heritage and history, creating a solution to the disconnect felt by so many in our society. �7 These challenging times demand that an organization step forward and provide the leadership to initate a new level of engagement -- that organization is the ConnectMichigan Alliance. �The ConnectMichigan Alliance Frequently Asked Questions How will the ConnectMichigan Alliance be funded? The Michigan Legislature has provided a $10 million challenge grant to the ConnectMichigan Alliance that must be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis to create a $20 million endowment fund. From now through October 2002, a fund raising campaign to individuals, corporations and foundations is being conducted to raise the additional $10 million. In addition to the annual money derived from the endowment, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will continue to conduct annual fund raising in accordance with current nonprofit practices. Is The ConnectMichigan Alliance a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization? Yes, while the agency has been formed from four partner organizations, it is being incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with its own Board of Directors and staff. What is the make up of the Board of Directors? The ConnectMichigan Alliance Board of Directors currently consists of three representatives from each of the four partner organizations. As the organization develops, up to eight at-large positions will be added to the board. The roster of the current Board of Directors can be found in this resource binder under the tab "Board of Directors". What organizations are involved in the collaboration? The Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Michigan Campus Compact, currently affiliates of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, are merging into the ConnectMichigan Alliance in their entirety. The Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Michigan Community Service Commission are spinning-off existing volunteer programs into the ConnectMichigan Alliance such as Make A Difference Day and Michigan's Promise. What will happen to the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Michigan Community Service Commission? Both organizations will continue operating as separate entities and will have the opportunity to focus more strategically on their individual missions. Both organizations' resources will be reallocated to provide even better services and support for their constituents. Both organizations will partner with and support the ConnectMichigan Alliance. When I make my contribution, does it have to be paid-in-full before November 2002? In order for your gift to be included in the $10 million challenge gram, a pled~ must be made before November of 2002. Full payment of the pledge must be made before November of 2004. Where will the ConnectMichigan Alliance be located? The new agency will have offices in Lansing that will house the entire staff. In the future, satellite offices may be created to provide more direct support to communities. �... Will the ConnectMichigan Alliance house the endowment fund? No. The ConnectMichigan Alliance endowment fund will be house at the Capital Region Community Foundation. Therefore, checks for the endowment should be made payable to "Capital Region Community Foundation - Connect Michigan Alliance". Why will the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Fund be housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation? The founding partners of the ConnectMichigan Alliance recognize their responsibility to protect into petpetuity the interest, integrity and intent of each donor and gift to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Fund. The Capital Region Community Foundation and its Board of Trustees adheres to standards that promote both accountability and the highest ethical behavior. As a community foundation, the Capital Region Community Foundation also offers Michigan ta..x credit opportunities to donors that are not available under other fund management vehicles. The four founding partners of the ConnectMichigan Alliance found it both prudent and reasonable to house the fund at the Capital Region Community Foundation given that the Foundation successfully administers other statewide donor advised funds , and that all four founding partners are headquartered in Lansing. How will the ConnectMichigan Alliance impact each local community? The goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance is to ensure that all citizens wishing to be involved in volunteer service have the opportunity to do so. Through the ConnectMichigan Alliance, each community will have access to additional infrastructure, technical assistance, funding and training resources to assist them in providing meaningful service opportunities at all levels in their community. Why is the ConnectMichigan Alliance being formed now? With volunteer service as a means to solve serious social problems moving to the forefront in many communities, support for organizations utilizing volunteers is more important than ever before. The ConnectMichigan Alliance partner organizations have worked independently and collaboratively for many years to support volunteer efforts statewide. In order to stabilize and enhance statewide support for volunteer efforts in petpetuity, a more intentional, effective partnership was necessary. The State of Michigan challenge grant has added an urgent timeline to the creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. What will happen if the ConnectMichigan Campaign does not raise $10 million in private funds by November 2002? The ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Cabinet is confident that they will meet their goal of raising $10 million before November 2002. If this goal is not met, the amount raised will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the State of Michigan challenge grant. When will the ConnectMichigan Alliance begin operation? The four founding partners of the ConnectMichigan Alliance - Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and Volunteer Centers of Michigan - are currently providing programs and services that will be administered by the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will begin operation by April 2001, at which time administrative responsibility for identified programs and services of the four founding partners will be consolidated under the ConnectMichigan Alliance. 2 �The Connect Michigan Alliance Campaign Frequently Asked Campaign Questions If I have questions or need information regarding the campaign, whom should I call?

Commissioners Engler, Mawby and Pruitt met via conference call with Mr. Caldwell. Transition of the Corporation for National Service Members discussed the draft copy of a white paper, "For All to Serve: Recommendations for Strengthening Our Civil Society through National Service and Volunteerism." The paper compiled the comments and recommendations of state commissions, state offices of the Corporation for ational Service and remained open for input from other elements of the National Service. The members offered a modification (change "double appropriations" to "increase appropriations) and agreed to endorse the concepts and principles articulated in the document. The paper will be forwarded to the American Association of State Service Commissions for distribution to the general public and the Bush Administration. Inspector General's Audit The Office of Inspector General for the Corporation for National Service notified the MCSC staff that the firm Cotton & Co., LLP has been retained to conduct a full audit of the MCSC for the period of 1995 to the present. The audit has not yet been scheduled, but the audit is anticipated to take place in spring, 2001. �MCSC Transition Issues The members discussed outreach possibilities for the MCSC in the face of a new State of Michigan Administration. Members recommended working within the context of the next campaign to begin in 2001 . The members also suggested seeking inroads into the leadership of the Michigan Legislature especially with the "freshmen" members. Members suggested working with the Michigan Public Policy Initiative to advance the agenda of volunteerism. Commissioner Training Opportunities The members discussed the opportunity (offered by the Corporation for National Service) to send commission members to training opportunities. Each state will be offered $4,000 to conduct trainings, but only if they conduct them in partnership with at least one other state. Members suggested that new members (with the MCSC less than 2 years) be sent to include: Russ Mawby, Vivian Pickard, Kari Pardoe, and Pat O' Day. Commissioner Pruitt agreed to represent Michigan on the planning committee forming to develop the training. Mr. Caldwell will staff Commissioner Pruitt in this initiative. Thank you. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lansing , Telephone : FAX: Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capito l Ave. Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 {517) 335-4295 {517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Cotmnission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: Friday, January 26, 2001 /;P In most of my past reports I have offered information on the transitions and transformations occurring at the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and at the state and local levels. This report will be different. The change in Presidents, the reconfiguration of the Congress and the results from the latest census will all conspire to profoundly impact on our level of National Service funding and the way federal support is channeled (hopefully all for the better) to Michigan. While we all have been keeping an eye on these changes and preparing for them, there will certainly be a number of surprises waiting on the horizon. In the section of my repott traditionally titled, "Insights on the Vision" I will layout a number of strategies staff have been developing to "get ahead of the curve" and proactively prepare the MCSC, and the field , for the pending changes in the national landscape. The more introspective portion of this report will deal with some of the work of staff and friends in the areas ofNational Service funding, Governor's Service Awards, Youth Poster Contest and (what seems to be our ever-pending) Corporation for National Service (CNS) Inspector General's audit. Making It Happen National Service Funding The MCSC is entering into another season of AmeriCorps applications. Staff am1ounced that some $3 million would be available for AmeriCorps funding this year. That number could translate into an additional 10 to 12 new programs next year. Over the next several months, the Programming Staff will be taking in new applications for Michigan's AmeriCorps Programs, ,it. �developing peer and staff reviews of those applications and packaging the final recommendations for your approval and approval from the Corporation for National Service (CNS). At the previous meeting of the MCSC, you empowered the Executive Committee to review and approve the MCSC's Fornmla Funding application to CNS. At the February 9th meeting, members will be asked to approve the renewal applicants seeking MCSC's Competitive Funding for AmeriCorps programs as well as this year's Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Application. The overall FY 2001 Michigan's AmeriCorps Funding process will be completed sometime in August-September, 2001. Governor's Service Awards In keeping with tradition, the Governor's Service Awards will again be coupled with the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference, which will be held in Grand Rapids at the Amway Grand Plaza on May 21, 2001. Nomination forms for the awards were mailed out this month and are due back to the MCSC by February 9, 2001 (same day as our commission meeting). If you have potential nominees in mind, please feel free to bring your completed forms with you to our Commission meeting (additional copies of the application are included in this mailing). Our May meeting will be held in Grand Rapids at Grand Valley State University at their downtown campus on that same day for your convenience. Youth Poster Contest Once again, our youth poster was kicked off in January. This year, to cut down on mailings and make the contest more relevant to the teachers and youth involved, the MCSC mailed out our poster AND the contest rules to all the Michigan schools and our youth service related grantees and partners. Please look for them in your local schools. The MCSC staff members are still seeking answers to Julie Cummings' challenge grant in support of our Youth Poster Contest. As you may recall, Commissioner Cummings offered to match every dollar raised toward the poster contest. Any amount conunissioners and friends could contribute or help broker would be tremendously helpful. Inspector General's Report The report from Garry Gross attached will spell out the logistic in more detail, but suffice it to say our federal auditors will visit us sometime in May or June. This is significant in that originally the auditors requested to spend their two-month visit with us during our move in April. Their flexibility on the visit date was most appreciated. Site Visit by Corporation for National Service Our program officer from CNS will visit our organization on February 7 - 9, 2001. Ms. Lee Lacy will be examining the MCSC internal operations, grantee oversight systems and commissioner functions. She will also be joining us for our February 91h Commission meeting. If possible, please arrive early so that you get a chance to meet her. 2 �Insights on the Vision For All to Serve Attached to this report you will find a draft copy of a white paper on National Service entitled, "For All to Serve." This paper was crafted with support and input of several state commissions, CNS state offices, and Senior Corps programs. The positions posed are built on the belief that National Service programs work best if they are focused as closely as possible, on local communities. That means that states should be provided more flexibility and resources and less "red tape" and regulation. It is intended to present recommendations to the Bush Administration on how National Service can and should work. Clearly written from the perspective of states and govemors, this paper is framed around the policy recommendations of the National Govemor's Association, soon to be chaired by our own Govemor Engler. This paper does not presume to speak for the national nonprofit organizations, state departments of education, higher education institutions and the other public and private organizations that have a stake in the future of National Service funding and public policy. I will be presenting this paper to the American Association of State Service Commissions (AASSC), our trade association, at their January 2ih meeting to gain their endorsement. I will also be requesting that AASSC advance this paper to its membership and to policy makers to gain their support. The MCSC Executive Committee reviewed an earlier version and requested some limited modifications. They also gave their support to the principles articulated in that earlier draft which remains unchanged in this latest version. Please read the paper and review it carefully as I will be asking for your official feedback and endorsement of the principles and strategies it presents. President George W. Bush The President delivered his inaugural address Saturday, January 20, 2001. In it, he presented a number of views related to civic engagement and service that may provide an indication to his administration's view of National Service and the volunteer programs the MCSC supports. A portion of that address is provided below. "America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected. Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free. "Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom. Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone. 3 �"I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well. "In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times. What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask y ou to seek a common good beyond your comfort,· to defend needed reforms against easy attacks,· to serve y our nation, beginning with y our neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character. Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it. " --Inaugural Address of President George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States of America. The President chose to include civic engagement issues in his inaugural address--the first agenda-setting opportunity of any U.S. President. We can have hope that this administration will follow (and hopefully surpass) the lead of the previous two administrations and help to take National Service - and volunteerism generally - to scale. National Agenda for Education and Michigan' s Alignment During one of his first days in office, President Bush called a meeting of key leaders to seek their advice concerning the challenges and opportunities facing our nation's children and our education system. Among the advisors President Bush called together was former U.S. Senator Jolm Glenn. As we discussed at our December meeting, Senator Glenn is spearheading a commission on service-learning, which includes a host of prestigious leaders including our own First Lady, Michelle Engler. This meeting provides yet another opportunity for the service and volunteer field to advance an agenda of civic engagement and service. Michigan ' s service-learning agenda is moving forward with the hiring of a coordinator for our Service In Education Resources and Vision (SERV) initiative to advance service-learning in Michigan by developing and advocating public policy at the state and local levels. Ms. India Plough will serve as a loaned executive from the Council of Michigan Foundations and will work with all our education partners including the K-12 Philanthropy in Education Project. The President presented his agenda for Education Refom1 this week. In it, the President presents his goals for accountability and local control. Included in his positions are a number if indicators that point to an alignment with the goals of the MCSC and the field in which we operate. Included among them are parent involvement and community-centered education. Michigan's Strategic Positions To the extent possible in these rapidly changing environments, the MCSC has positioned itself in the center of the national agenda. Michigan helped develop a white paper that can be presented by our national association to the Whitehouse when they are ready to deal with the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer to CNS . We are well represented in the service-learning arena through Mrs. Engler's role on the National Conmlission on Service-Learning, the MCSC's SERV initiative and our strong partnership with the Michigan Department of Education. Finally, 4 �regardless of the changes in the national landscape (or perhaps because of them), we have a state mechanism for support through the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the endowment that will support it. It is difficult to imagine how the MCSC could be better prepared for change. However, as I am constantly reminded, change is the only constant and complacency is the only true self-defeating behavior. Therefore, it is critically important that the staff and members of the commission take up the goals and principles laid out in the formal document adopted at our last meeting (see "Future Goals" document shared at our previous meeting). Our Chair has requested that the MCSC take up our goals document, the changes on the national scene and our activities at the state level and strategize further at our September 10-11, 2001 retreat. This matter will be taken up during the "Old Business" portion of our meeting. Thank you. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517 ) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Gan-y Gross, Director of Finance & Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Finance & Administration Division DATE: January 26, 2001 a .[.»-1 The following is a brief update of the cun-ent issues facing the Finance and Administration Division. FY 200 1 Spending Attached is the Comparative Financial Statement for the first quarter of the fiscal year. The period covers October 1 thTough December 31, 2000. While spending is low for the first quarter, Oill spending rustory has been a very slow first quarter with a rugher percentage of expenditures occurring during the spring and summer months. In addition, no depar1ment overhead charges are included in these numbers. The Michigan Department of Career Development (MDCD), our fiscal agent, normally takes a full month after the quarter ends to determine and allocate expenses to the individual agencies . We will be watching closely to ensure that the amount stays within the MDCD's projections tills year. Also affecting our spending is the open positions and the fact that we have budgeted for a move and the lease space costs for the year. Until we move and fill the open positions, we will continue to stay below forecasted spending levels. New Office Space We are currently waiting on the Department ofManagement and Budget's (DMB) Tenant Services Division to executive a lease for us on the new location. We have determined that an open building on 1048 Pierpont Drive in South Lansing is the best option for us . As discussed at the last Commission meeting, we will be co-locating with the Lansing District office of the Michigan Rehabilitation Service (MRS). MRS was forced to move into the building prior to the interior modifications due to a health issue. This is causing a delay for our lease to be finalized as MRS had to locate in our future area while they wait for their area to be completed . We have asked for 7,500 square feet that will include a conference room large enough for Commission meetings . We are cun-ently located in a space of roughly 3,000 square feet, so we will double ~ o6 ~!'(TEO ON RECVQ.EDPA.PER �our space to accommodate our staff, filing, storage, and meeting needs. We are still planning on moving around the end of March or the beginning of April. Federal Audit We have received word that the audit firm of Cotton & Co., LLC, will perform our federal audit. After a discussion with a senior partner of the firm, I have obtained the following information on our audit. The planned stati date of our audit was the beginning of April, which was in direct conflict with our pla1med move. As we currently do not have enough space to house the auditors and we felt that moving during the middle of such a comprehensive audit would cause undue hardship for both our staff and the auditors, I asked that the audit be postponed until our move is completed. The senior partner agreed that it would not make sense to start the audit during this period and is waiting on word from us when our move will take place. While they seem to be very willing to work with us, I am sure that the timeframe can only be moved back a small amount. It appears that the audit team will consist of 3-5 auditors and they are planning on the audit taking anywhere from one to two months to complete. The size of the audit and the number of our grantees that they will visit during the audit has not yet been determined. They are waiting on the Corporation for National Service to set the size and scope of our audit. Personnel Matters We are currently processing the paperwork for the chosen candidate for the Learn and Serve program coordinator, and hope to have that person start on March 5, 2001. In addition, we are starting the interview process for the vacant Outreach Coordinator. Our final open position, the grants coordinator, is being held until we have a confirmed move date due to lack of space for the position. 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@state.mi.us. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Comparative Financial Statement/FY 01/1 st Qu arter As of December 31, 2000 STATE FU NDS Actual B ud~et FEDERAL FUNDS Budget Actual PRI VATE FUN DS Budget Actual TOTALS Actual B ud~et REVENU ES Current Year Prior Year Carryover 8,000,000 8,000,000 208,275 208 ,275 6,050,103 6,050,103 0 0 0 122,090 0 122,090 14,050,103 330 ,365 14,050,103 330 ,365 Total Revenues 8,208 ,275 8,208,275 6,050,103 6,050,103 122,090 122,090 14,380,468 14,380,468 Program Operational 7,208 ,275 6,51 3,405 5,000 3,540 5,268,077 4,897,677 20 ,000 175,350 10,000 0 0 12,486,352 180,350 11,411,082 23 ,540 Total Sub Grants 7,213,275 6,516,945 5,443 ,427 4,917,677 10,000 0 12,666,702 11,434,622 0 0 0 620,759 132,235 82 .108 112,631 23 ,777 18.506 SUB-GRANTS OPER.

Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Cmmnission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Future Goals DATE: November 17, 2000 CC: Friends of the MCSC Attached you will find the latest version of the " Future ofMCSC " document which includes the specific goals, objectives and SWOT analysis as crafted by the MCSC staff at their 2000 Staff Retreat. Strategies The " Future ofMCSC" proposes that the MCSC focus its operational energies on three basic strategies: 1. MCSC will be a grantmaking entity much in the same way as would a foundation. The MCSC would invest in models and initiatives that would further the strength of the field, but would refrain from building staffing and intemal stmctures to operate these initiatives. The role of the MCSC would be to provide and/or broker suppmi that incubates new ideas and new models with an eye toward sustainability through support through avenues at the local, state and national level. 2. MCSC will forge new partnerships that look as intensively within state government as outside state government. The workforce of the state of Michigan is vast as is its ability to touch the lives of others. The MCSC can help to recognize and promote the existing and future volunteer efforts occurring within state agencies. �3. MCSC will study, analyze and share its learning experiences with the rest of the world to advance the knowledge of the field . The MCSC has traditionally only provided evaluation funds and support to grantees for their own purposes. This resource will continue, but the MCSC will also look to providing impact data on different volunteer initiatives as well as those it funds. One example is to provide an annual report on the health of service and volunteerism in Michigan. Ultimately, this would breakdown indicators of volunteer infrastructure to a county by county level. Moving ahead with marketing and research involves the MCSC gearing up an effective and efficient marketing and research component. Again, this will not involved the MCSC building an entire new staff area. The MCSC will focus on contracting with existing partners and forging new ones to deliver these services. Certainly, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be one of those that will be able to help in this area. To summarize, this documents crafts the future direction for the MCSC and focuses on the MCSC becoming a grantmaker that invests in, and incubates innovative service and volunteer initiatives. The MCSC will do this by allocating resources, forging and strengthening partnerships, and sharing information that can help communities promote service and volunteerism as an effective community problem solving mechanism. Background This document represents months of strategic planning that was inspired by three major factors: 1. The MCSC has been the fortunate beneficiary of the support and leadership of the current Governor and First Lady. Due to term limits, this may change as a new administration will begin in January of2003 and will may not demonstrate the same level of cornn1itment to the work of the MCSC and its pa1iners. 2. The MCSC is a relatively new organization in state governmental tenns and has continuously operated as a "start up" organization . Evidence of this mode of operation include insufficient staffing, no physical space plan (the MCSC has been operating "rent free " since its creation in 1991 ), extremely limited written policy and planning documentation and no sustainability plan. 3. The recent development of the ConnectMichigan Alliance will force the need for some desirable yet rapid changes in the way the MCSC will do business in the near future. All of these factors were considered when crafting the attached strategy. This strategy was crafted to deal with these challenges and help the MCSC forge effectively forward into some new areas of support for volunteers. �Conclusion In its most basic fom1, this document is a sustainability plan for the MCSC. It proposes changes in the operations of the MCSC, but not the mission. The MCSC will still serve as a convener, catalyst and broker for the service and volunteer sectors. The MCSC remains dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thanks to you, the list of successes and friends grew. Throughout the year, your news organization promoted community-based service and volunteer projects sponsored by the Michigan Community Service such as Make A Difference Day. Because you found the projects important enough to promote and cover in your paper, radio or television broadcast, thousands of volunteers participated in hundreds of projects throughout the state. Your commitment to your community helped improve the lives of thousands of Michigan's citizens. On Make A Difference Day, more than 85,000 people volunteered in their community-all in one day! Volunteers helped senior citizens winterize their homes, helped feed and place the homeless, built homes for working poor families, assisted mothers living in domestic abuse shelters, and collected warm clothes, toys and books for children through hundreds of volunteer service projects. Literally, thousands of people received assistance from acts of kindness. The key to that type of community response is in getting the word out. By giving media attention to events like Make A Difference Day, the Governors Service Awards, America's Promise and AmeriCorps projects, people become aware of service opportunities and activities they can use to give back to their communities and connect with their neighbors. It is no small thing to promote a charitable activity. I, along with our Commissioners, appreciate the effort and would like to commend your organization for helping us help others. It is for this reason that I strongly encourage you to nominate your organization for the Eighth Annual Governors Service Awards in the Exemplary Media/News Organization category. The awards ceremony is held in May and all finalists are recognized. It is an opportunity to receive the kudos your news agency deserves. I have enclosed a nomination form should you decide to do so. I look forward to your continued commitment to service through the promotion of local events and activities in the years to come.

He noted that a $13 million, five-state initiative is beginning to work now and will be expanding to over 15 states over the next three years. Michigan, unfortunately, was not one of the states chosen to participate in the LID program, but was fortunate to have the expertise and assistance of theW. K. Kellogg Foundation. The MCSC staff have created the Service in Education Resources and Vision (SERV) initiative. SERV will focus on developing effective public policy, demonstration projects, research and dissemination of lessons learned. To date, MCSC staff have secured a three-year $1.2 million grant from the Corporation for National Service (CNS) to support this initiative that will be administered in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundation's K-12 Philanthropy in Education Project. The MCSC will bring on a coordinator sometime at the beginning of the calendar year. Commissioner Kwak stated that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation will support the SERV initiative with a grant of $212,000 over three years. Commissioner Kwak talked about some of the different programs that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is currently supporting in the service-learning field. 4 �Commissioner Engler gave an overview of her experiences with the different service learning programs. Commissioner Engler was appointed to the National Commission of Service-Learning headed by former Senator John Glenn. Mr. Caldwell gave a overview of the MCSC Disability Plan. The CNS has awarded the MCSC a one-year $140,000 grant to coordinate, administer and support a plan to recruit more programs and individuals from the disability community and get the disability community more involved with our National Service Programs. Over the course of this year, the MCSC staff has committed to reach out to the disability community to ensure that recruitment and placement of programs and members is in accordance with all laws relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act and all other accommodations laws. Mr. Caldwell gave a special thanks to Diana Algra for helping to develop several projects and grants at the MCSC during her tenure as a loan executive from the Michigan Family Independence Agency (FIA) and also thanked Jocelyn Yanda and FIA for their continued support to the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell talked about the MCSC vision and the commission's focus on the Michigan volunteer landscape. Mr. Caldwell explained that CMA is a prime example. The CMA and the $20 million endowment that will support it, will provide valuable services and support to Michigan' s volunteers well into the future. Mr. Caldwell stated that while the MCSC works on Michigan initiatives it must also work on the national landscape. Mr. Caldwell explained that the national landscape is being focused on youth as an important target group for services as well as a body of constituents. Mr. Caldwell stated that at the last meeting of the Board of Director' s for America's Promise, it was announced that the Younger Americans Act will be re-introduced in the 2001 Congressional session. This bill will focus on America's Promise goals through legislation and appropriations much in the same way that the "Older Americans Act" did for seniors in the previous Congress. A. Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Mr. Caldwell explained that for FY 2001 , the MCSC has $194,994 in CNS funding to support 18 Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows for Michigan Communities of Promise. All current grantees were given the opportunity to renew their current fellow(s) position. In addition, other Communities of Promise were invited to apply. The application guidelines were sent to all Communities of Promise on September 15, 2000. A total of eight applications were received requesting $129,996 to support 12 fellows. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC staff conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions . These revisions were due to the MCSC by November 3, 2000. The staff reviewed all of the revisions and made the following recommendations: The staff recommended new funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: The Alpena Volunteer Center for 1 fellow for $10,833 and Ionia County Intermediate School District for 3 fellows for $32,499 . 5 �A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the new funding was made by Commissioner Wesaw and Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. The staff recommended renewal funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: The Council of Michigan Foundations for 1 fellow for $10,833, the Eastern Upper Peninsula Community Foundation for 1 fellow for $10,833, EightCAP, Inc for 2 fellows for $21,666, Isabella County MSU Extension for 1 fellow for $10,833, Marquette & Alger Counties' Promise: The Alliance for Youth for 1 fellow for $10, 833, Pathways to Healthy Living for 2 fellows for $21,666. A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the renewal funding was made by Commissioner Wesaw and Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. Commissioner Collier abstained from voting on the Council of Michigan Foundations request. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC still had six Promise Fellows available. Therefore, the MCSC was conducting another application process. The MCSC staff will make their funding recommendation for these Promise Fellows at the February board meeting. Mr. Caldwell explained the staff recommendation for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants increases stating that the staff would like the ability to approve these requests when they are received rather than waiting until the next Commission or executive committee meeting. This would simply allow staff to expand the amount of the grant. Approving an increase to the grant amount would not change any terms or stipulations of the grant. The staff would only approve increase requests if funds were available and the grantee was in good standing. Also, the increa~es. would only be approved for grantees previously approved by comnusswners. The staff recommended that the Commission empower the staff to approve current and future grant increases for existing Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants. A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the increases to Michigan's Volunteer Investments Grants was made by Commissioner O'Day and Commissioner Weinstock seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of Ms . Kaiser's Program Division Director's Report and asked commissioners to review the report. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of Ms. Grill's Outreach and Fund Development Division report. Mr. Caldwell highlighted the Governor's Service Awards nomination form which would be mailed out by Christmas and due back to the MCSC by February 9, 2001. Ms. Grill will be contacting commissioners to serve as peer reviewers. Mr. Caldwell congratulated everyone on Make A Difference Day (MDDay) in Michigan. On that day there were 84,901 volunteers participating in MDDay projects. 6 �Mr. Caldwell stated that the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYP AC) is up and running again thanks to Jill Manlove, MCSC's YES Ambassador and MCSC's youth commissioners, Kari Pardoe and Ethan Weinstock. Mr. Caldwell announced that the MCSC will be conducting a Youth Poster contest again this year. It will be unveiled at the Governor's Service Award Dinner. Mr. Caldwell explained that he is seeking sponsors for the Youth Poster contest. The cost is approximately $15,000. Mr. Caldwell introduced Camille Johnson from the Lovelight Foundation who was attending on behalf of Commissioner Cummings. Ms. Johnson explained that the Lovelight Foundation was very happy to sponsor the Youth Poster contest over the previous years and stated that the Lovelight Foundation will provide a 1: 1 match for the Youth Poster contest this year. Ms. Grill stated that in January, the 2000 Poster along with Poster Contest materials for 2001 will be mailed out to schools all across Michigan. Ms. Grill explained the need for a MCSC Marketing Strategy and that the MCSC staff realize the importance of defining its future marketing and public relations strategies based upon the new, focused direction of the MCSC. She noted that as staff begin the development of a marketing plan, they will be looking to commissioners and other friends of the MCSC who have contacts ancl/or experience in marketing to assist us with this process. B. MCSC FY 2001 Budget Mr. Caldwell explained that Mr. Gross had distributed a one-page budget report along with his written report on the Finance and Administration Division. Mr. Gross gave a brief overview of the report. VII. Old Business - Chairperson Mawby A. Staff Recommendations for Future Direction of the MCSC Chairperson Mawby directed everyone to the two-page summary on the MCSC Future Goals and asked Mr. Caldwell to explain the strategies. Mr. Caldwell stated that the "Future of MCSC" proposes that the MCSC focus its operational energies on three basic strategies. 1. MCSC will be a grantmaking entity much in the same way as would a foundation. The MCSC would invest in models and initiatives that would further the strength of the field, but would refrain from building, staffing, and internal structures to operate these initiatives. The role of the MCSC would be to provide ancl/or broker support that incubates new ideas and new models with an eye toward sustainability through support through avenues at the local, state and national level. 2. The MCSC would forge new partnerships that look as intensively within state government as outside state government. The state workforce can help to recognize and promote the existing and future volunteer efforts occurring within state agencies. 7 �3. The MCSC would study, analyze and share its learning experiences with the rest of the world to advance the knowledge of the field. The MCSC has traditionally only provided evaluation funds and support to grantees for their own purposes. This resource will continue, but the MCSC will also look to providing impact data on different volunteer initiatives as well as those it funds. Mr. Caldwell stated that this document is a sustainability plan for the work of the MCSC and it proposes changes in the operations of the MCSC, but not the mission. The MCSC would still serve as a convener, catalyst and broker for the service and volunteer sectors. The MCSC would remain dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the Future Goals of the MCSC was made by Commissioner Pruitt and Commissioner Wesaw seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Pruitt suggested that Ms. Grill look to local colleges to help in putting together a marketing plan. Commissioner Pickard also expanded on the idea that local colleges might be able to offer assistance at no cost through interns. Chairperson Mawby suggested that the MCSC engage a college in developing of a marketing plan. VIII. New Business - Chairperson Mawby A. Empowering Executive Committee to Approve FY 2001 Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application Chairperson Mawby asked Mr. Caldwell to expand on this item. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC staff respectfully requested that the members of the MCSC empower the Executive Committee to approve the FY 2001 Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application to the Corporation for National Service (CNS). The MCSC staff also suggested that the application be shared with the entire membership prior to the next meeting of the Executive Committee to provide opportunities for comment. Finally, the MCSC staff suggested that the full body review and approve the actions of the Executive Committee at the next meeting of the full body. Mr. Caldwell explained that the CNS AmeriCorps Formula application would be due to CNS prior to the next proposed meeting of the full body, but after the next proposed meeting of the Executive Committee. Approval of the MCSC Members for CNS subgrant funding application is a requirement of the provisions for CNS funding . However, CNS does not provide guidelines on grant application due dates until well after the MCSC has set its meeting dates. A motion to approve the staff recommendations to empower the Executive Committee with funding approval was made by Commissioner Wesaw and Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 8 �• B. Process for Annual Performance Review of Executive Director Commissioner Pruitt explained that an annual performance review of the executive director is due. Commissioner Pruitt explained that he and Mary Estrada will be working together to get the review form out to all commissioners and asked that they return the review form to him. C. Legislative Breakfast Chairperson Mawby suggested that since the MCSC has held a Legislative Breakfast in the past with much success, the MCSC should hold another one because of all the new faces in the legislature and it is a good way for the legislators to get to know the MCSC. Commissioner Pruitt stated that the MCSC should pair legislators with some of their home constituents-possibly an AmeriCorps member or a MCSC grantee so that they understand what activities are happening in their communities. This would give them a reason to be at the breakfast. Commissioner Pruitt also suggested that the MCSC hand each legislator a brochure on the MCSC which would explain "who we are" and MCSC' s funding. Commissioner Aldridge stated that MCSC needs to personalize the event which will make it important for legislators to attend on behalf of their communities and seek sponsorships to help with financial cost to get people there. Commissioner Pruitt suggested not having the event on a Monday or Friday. Ms. Schultheiss stated that several of the VCM members stated that the travel time involved to come to the Legislative Breakfast for an hour or two was too costly and maybe the Legislative Breakfast could be held in conjunction with another event immediately following the Breakfast. Commissioner Aldridge asked if the Legislative Breakfast could be a reception during the Grantmakers/Grantseekers and Governor' s Service Award event. Commissioner Pruitt stated that it is very important to keep in touch with the legislators. D. Approval of 2000-2001 Meeting Dates Chairperson Mawby asked commissioners to look over the dates for 2001 commission meetings. Chairperson Mawby announced one change for the Executive Committee meetings. The April 6, 2001 meeting has been changed to April 20, 2001. A motion to approve the MCSC 2001 meeting dates was made by Commissioner Collier and Commissioner Engler seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. VII. Public Comment Chairperson Mawby gave a special thank you to Diana Algra and gave her a special award for her commitment and dedication to the MCSC. Chairperson Mawby asked for public comment from all attendees. Several attendees offered personal comments. 9 �• Commissioner Wesaw made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Pickard seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 2:35p.m. The next meeting will be February 9, 2001 at the George W. Romney Building, Lansing, Michigan. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A limited number of this scrapbook will be printed and mailed to all registered MD Day participants. A second "scrapbook and tool kit" is being developed that focuses on infonnation that can be utilized by local communities on an ongoing basis as they plan other community-based and national days of service such as Days of Caring, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, National Youth Service Day, etc. This scrapbook will also contain some MDDay highlights and will be made available to the MCSC grantees, partner organizations and others who express interest or seek assistance with the development of one-day service projects. �Michigan's Promise Attached you will find the most recent edition of The Link, the bi-monthly newsletter highlighting the statewide and local Michigan's Promise activities. The Link, which is designed and edited by Liz Clemenshaw the AmeriCorps Promise Fellow housed at the MCSC as a loaned executive from CMF, is faxed to all Communities ofPromise, Head Start Sites of Promise, Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows, Emerging Communities of Promise, and other Michigan ' s Promise partners. The Michigan's Promise Benchmarks (MPB) were developed by the Communities of Promise and the MCSC to acknowledge and celebrate the various levels of commitment of the communities involved in local Michigan's Promise activities. These benchmarks are also designed to assist communities strengthen the framework and develop strategies to build their local Promise initiatives. The MPB were distributed to commissioners at the December commission meeting. The Communities ofPromise were asked to indicate the level of their ongoing involvement with Promise activities through their participation in the Michigan's Promise Benchmarks at one of three levels: 1) Active Community of Promise, 2) Affiliate Community of Promise, and 3) No Longer Pursuing Promise Activities. The Communities of Promise who are working toward meeting the highest level of the Michigan's Promise Benchmarks as Active Communities ofPromise are: Alpena/Montmorency Counties, Capital Area (Lansing/East Lansing) Chippewa County, Dickinson/Iron Counties, Delta County, Eaton Rapids, Ionia Cow1ty, Isabella County, Jackson County, Kalkaska County, Luce County, Mackinac County, Marquette/ Alger Counties, Montcalm County, Muskegon, Saginaw County, St. Joseph County and Tri-Cities (Grand Haven/Spring Lake/ Ferrysberg). The following communities decided to serve as Affiliate Communities of Promise as they are not actively pursuing the Michigan's Promise Benchmarks at this time, yet want to remain connected with the Promise initiative: Flint and Grand Rapids. The following communities have not responded to date regarding the level of their ongoing commitment to their local Promise activities: Calhoun County, Detroit, Kalamazoo County, Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and Tuscola County. A personal call is being made by Mary Grill to each of the Communities of Promise to encourage them to stay connected with Michigan's Promise at the appropriate level as detem1ined by each local community. In summary, 18 of the 25 Communities ofPromise (72%) remain active and two Communities ofPromise (8%) moved to affiliate status. The large number of communities pursuing the highest level of the MPB is testimony to the commitment of local communities to this effort and a tribute to the support provided by the MCSC. The annual statewide Michigan's Promise Meeting is being held April30 - May 1, 2001 at the Ralph A. McMullen Conference Center in Roscommon. A planning committee ofMCSC staff, an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow and local Community of Promise representatives are putting together the agenda that includes plenary sessions, workshops, and networking. This meeting provides an opportunity for the Communities ofPromise to gain skills, share challenges and solutions and provide direction for future Promise activities. CoonectMichigan The winter issue of the ConnectMichigan newsletter is going to press and scheduled for distribution by February 20, 2001. This issue highlights volunteer efforts in rural communities. �Staffing Issues There are currently two open positions in the Outreach and Fund Development DivisionOutreach Coordinator and Access AmeriCorps Coordinator.

The AMC was created in the fall of 1999 to give members from across Michigan a chance to network, share resources, and rea lize they are part of a bigger movement outside of the community in which they serve. AmeriCorps is BIG, and continues to get BIGGER every year. Over 40 ,000 Americans serve with AmeriCorps nationwide every year. There are over 1,000 members in our state alone! The AMC is comprised of four committees - Statewide Events , Council Planning, Alumn i, and Outreach . The Statewide Events Committee is responsible for gathering member input and helping to plan the AmeriCorps Signature Service Projects and the Member Celebration . Council Planning organ izes all council meetings . The Alumni Committee works to develop strategies to keep AmeriCorps alums involved in Michigan's AmeriCorps . Finally, the Outreach Committee is responsible for communication and marketing for Michigan 's AmeriCorps . In addition, each committee works in conjunction with a Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff member to ensure a link between community efforts and the statewide effort.

National AmeriCorps Web-based Recruitment System The Corporation recently launched the new AmeriCorps web based recruitment and placement system (AC*RPS). Individuals interested in serving as an AmeriCorps member now have a place to go to find out which AmeriCorps opportunities are available that might match their interests. They can apply to multiple programs and track their selection process-all at the speed of the Internet. At this moment AC*RPS contains approximately 700 AmeriCorps program listings and thousands of AmeriCorps member assignments. AC*RPS was developed based on issues, ideas and suggestions articulated by hundreds of people including AmeriCorps program staff (state programs, national direct sponsors and AmeriCorps*VISTA projects), State Commission staff, Corporation staff and AmeriCorps members and alumni. AC*RPS simplifies the AmeriCorps application process, strengthens customer service, and provides a more comprehensive method to promote AmeriCorps and generate interest among the growing number of persons who access the World Wide Web.

Civic engagement. Service-learning. Mentoring. Volunteerism goes by a lot of names these days, and it can be tough to keep them all straight. But the idea the spirit - has always stayed the same. Sometimes this giving involves special skills, but often, it's just about lending an ear. A helping hand. An hour in an already busy week. With so many opportunities to help out, it's ironic that the most difficult aspect of volunteerism for many has been " where do I go to get involved, how can I serve, what more can I do?" And that's where the ConnectMichigan Alliance really shines. This dynamic, new entity is being created to support Michigan's volunteers in their efforts to help others. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will work with schools, nonprofit organizations, churches, businesses, campuses, human service agencies and other organizations to ensure that every individual can give back to their community now and well into the future. Formed through an innovative partnership of four model volunteer organizations, this alliance will strengthen community volunteerism and support valuable local volunteer initiatives. Working as one, we can improve the quality of life for Michigan citizens as never before. A gift of time. One person helping another. Such simple ideas. But what a difference they make. neighborhood beautification 'The magnitude of our social "I 've seen it problems will require that all happen- citizens and institutions make one person, a commitment to volunteering performing as a way of life and a primary even the opportunity to create needed smallest service, change."

It builds upon initiatives already in place and includes a statewide network of volunteer centers helping local communities match volunteers with opportunities Michigan Nonprofit Association \1ic'hi~an Commtmit~ ~C'n ic·c' Commi~~ion Michigan Campus Compact to help (Volunteer Centers of Michigan). It also includes those who've joined a network that strives to instill an ethic of service and civic action in college students (Michigan Campus Compact), and a statewide association for non-profits that gives a voice to and supports the vast array of Michigan's nonprofit organizations (Michigan Nonprofit Association) . Finally, it includes a governmental body that promotes service by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts (Michigan Community Service Commission). These groups have come together creating a powerful force for volunteerism-a private nonprofit organization-the ConnectMichigan Alliance. "I'm proud of the Michigan's national leadership role in promoting volunteer efforts.The Connect Michigan Alliance continues the work started more than "We all benefit when students engage in service-learning activities. These activities instill an ethic of civic responsibility that lasts a lifetime." Dr. Barbara Mieras President, Davenport University thirty years ago by Governor George " Volunteering is addictive.

"The $20 million Connect Michigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership. Our state has a long and powerful history of philanthropy and volunteerism.

Kellogg Foundation �legacy The goal of this campaign is to sustain and strengthen the legacy of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. This innovative partnership leverages additional financial and human resources and creates a seamless support system for volunteers here in Michigan. The $1 0 million dollar challenge grant reflects an unprecedented level of support from the State of Michigan-but this challenge can't be met without all of us working together. For the next 24 months, Michigan's foundations, corporations and individuals have a unique opportunity to join together to promote volunteerism and impact community problem solving throughout Michigan. With everyone's help. we can sustain and grow the legacy of community building and individual support that has become a trademark of our state. Every volunteer who works to help out another is not only positively impacting someone's life, but saving public resources that can be used to help those in even greater need. It has never been more important to show your support for the power of volunteerism and there has never been a better way than the ConnectMichigan Alliance. " Volunteerism can change the world and it's ind ividual people giving of their time that makes it happen .

Appointments The members charged staff with finding a possible candidate from the Salvation Army to serve on the MCSC as a representative of the "Faith-based Community" as a proactive strategy to address future possible changes in the national and state funding priorities. Salvation Army personnel work with faith- and community-based organizations and rely heavily on volunteers. The new State Superintendent for Public Instruction will be Tom Watkins. Dr. Watkins will be a mandated member of the MCSC upon his appointment and therefore, the committee felt that it was important for Dr. Watkins to receive a personal invitation to attend the next commission meeting and the Governor's Service Awards. Dr. Mawby will approach Dr. Watkins. Other areas that the committee is seeking representation include: Local Government (waiting on call back from George Goodman of the Municipal League), Disability Community, Labor (United Ways- waiting for call back from Chris Nelson, United Way of Michigan and follow up to Terry P. inquiry to Saginaw Labor Council). �Training for Commissioners The North Central Cluster of State Service Commissions is planning a training for commissioners. The dates of the meeting would be Tuesday through Thursday, July 31, August 1, and August 2, beginning at noon on July 31st and ending at noon on August 2nd and will be held in Illinois, but not downtown Chicago. You may recall that a survey of your training and informational needs was sent to you a month ago to assess how this training might best serve your needs. More information will be available after the next planning meeting on May 17, 2001. Mentoring Program The committee members discussed the implementation of a commissioner-mentoring program that some commissioners have been conducting on their own for the past 18 months. The Commissioner Mentoring Program would involve matching veteran commissioners with new members where new members would be provided an introduction meeting, given an orientation to the commissioner manual, contacted by the mentor prior to the meetings and functions and shadow veteran commissioners at public speaking events. A potential list will be drafted for commissioners to review. Thank you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In our organizational conference call, staff presented three scenarios for conducting the search process for our review. After careful deliberations, the committee chose to conduct a limited national search that would be facilitated by staff. The committee also approved a revised job description and directed staff to start the dissemination process. The staff conducted a thorough search process utilizing both print and electronic methods for distributing the job description. The following publications and list servs were utilized in this process: Crain's Nonprofit News Chronicle of Philanthropy Chronicle on Higher Education MNA Nonprofit Links MNA Member Mailing VCM List Serv MCC List Serv Nonprofit Times Points of Light Foundation List Executive Search The search process resulted in over 45 resumes being submitted.

It is our hope that we will have a final decision by early June with a candidate able to join the CMA staff by mid-July. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The committee approved the staff program funding recomm endations for: • Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Renewals applications at $ 1,109,980 for 71 full-time, 38 part-time and 6 sununer only members ; • Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Education Award Onl y Renewals applications at $73 ,000 for 120 full -time, 150 part-time and 0 summer only members; • Michi ga n's AmeriCorps New Formula applications at $1,764,555 fo r 127 full-time, 26 part-time and 12 summer on ly members; and • Michigan ' s Vo lunteer Investment Grants Round Two applications at $141 ,885 for two programs. Regarding the remaining FY 2001 state funding for Michigan ' s Vo lunteer Investment Grants, Commissioner P ruitt expressed his concern that the program is not expending all the $1 million appropriated for the VIG program annually. Mr. Caldwe ll explained that the staff shared his concem and in response, has conunissioned a study of the program. The resu lts of the study will help guide the staff recommendations fo r modification to the VIG program .
