Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director, Michigan Community Service Commission DATE: March 18,2003 RE: Update on AmeriCorps Enrollment and Funding The challenges: 1. The Omnibus Appropriations bill resulted in a 35.4% cut in funding to states for AmeriCorps programs. 2. The unanticipated accounting shortfall in the Education Trust that resulted in the AmeriCorps enrollment freeze in November 2002. 3. The additional $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to an accounting error. 4. The proposed solutions to the above issues. On February 20, 2003, the 2003 Omnibus Appropriations measure became law. The bill included funding for formula and competitive grants to states for AmeriCorps programs for the 03-04 program year. Unfortunately, the Omnibus bill reduced state AmeriCorps program funds from $193,492,000 to $125,000,000-a cut of35.4%. This is the most significant reduction made in the entire 03-04 budget for CNCS and the largest ever for states. The bill also included $100 million for the Education Award Trust to make up for the accounting shortfall that precipitated the enrollment freeze. As a result, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) made the decision to lift the freeze on AmeriCorps enrollments. The freeze was lifted after an agreement between the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Office ofManagement and Budget (OMB), and CNCS that the $100 million Trust appropriation be used for future education awards and not be used to rectify the $64 million owed by the Trust due to accounting errors. In addition, the bill caps at 50,000 the number of individuals that can be enrolled in AmeriCorps. �To help address these issues, on Tuesday, March 41h, President Bush sent a letter to Speaker Hastert requesting that: a. The $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to accounting errors be liquidated. b. Congress give CNCS the power to transfer up to $50 million from programming to the Educational Award Trust to cover the unanticipated shortfall. c. CNCS have the ability to enroll more than 50,000 AmeriCorps members. While the President's proposal is a good step forward, there are a myriad of issues left unsolved. 1. The proposal does not call for a restoration of pro gram funding. The funding for state programs is still cut 35.4%. a. For Michigan, this could mean a cut of $2.1 million (of our current $6.2 million). b. This could eliminate 246 ofMichigan's current 696 AmeriCorps members. 2. When next year's budget is presented (for the 04-05 programming year), any increase over the current amount of $125 million will be seen as an increase in the budget. It will not be seen as an attempt to restore funding to the originally expected level of $193 million. 3. The $50 million that can now be transferred from CNCS program funds into the Education Trust, will result in even less funds available for ArneriCorps programs. Therefore, the 35.4% cut to states could be even larger. a. A portion ofthe $50 million could be taken from the $125 million. 4. The $100 million allotted to the Trust is not adequate as it must cover approximately 20,000 members for the 02-03 program year (those that were impacted by the enrollment freeze) and the proposed 50,000 members for the 03-04 program year. a. $100 million is enough for 21,164 education awards for full-time members. These issues are real challenges for communities as they rely more and more on national service to fill in the social services gaps. The cuts to Michigan are hidden at the federal level, but are very real at the community level as the Michigan's AmeriCorps portfolio will shrink substantially. �FY 2003 Omnibus Appropriations Passed Th is chart represents a summary of the congressional appropriations as they relate to the Corporation for National and Community Service. 1 Al l entries are in thousands of dollars FY2002 Enacted FY 2003 Request FY 2003 Enacted 106,700 44,395 54,884 111 ,500 46,600 58 ,900 400 106,700 46,563 58 ,884 400 69,846 0 57 ,000 100,000 185,591 47,000 193,492 324,201 47 ,000 71 ,000 125,000 50 ,000 FY 2001 Enacted Item Senior Corps Foster Grandparents Sen ior Companion RSVP National Demonstration 98 ,868 40 ,395 48,884 400 National Service Trust AmeriCorps Grants ./\Formula and Competitive Grants National Directs 400 AmeriCorps*VISTA Innovation , Demonstration , and Ass istance Activities 83 ,074 85,287 94,287 94 ,300 28,437 28,488 35,500 35,500 Evaluation 4,989 5,000 5,000 3,000 NCCC 20 ,954 25,000 35,000 25,000 Learn and Serve: K-12 and Higher Education 42,905 43 ,000 43,000 43,000 Corp. for Natl. & Comm .

Mawby, Chairman DATE: May 20,2003 RE: Chairman Appointment On April 16, 2003 I met with the First Gentleman, Daniel G. Mulhern and requested that he join and chair the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) in keeping with our plans for the leadership of this organization. To my delight, he agreed. On April 18, 2003, I sent a letter to Governor Granholm tendering my resignation as Chairman effective May 20, 2003. Therefore, as my last act as Chairman of the MCSC, I would ask for unanimous support for the Governor's appointment of Daniel G. Mulhern as the Chairman of the MCSC effective May 20,2003. �Page 1 of 1 Daniel G. Mulhern Biography Release Date: December 26, 2002 Daniel G. Mulhern Biography In various roles, Daniel Granholm Mulhern has been teaching and practicing servant leadership all of his professional life. A graduate of University of Detroit Jesuit High School, Dan considered entering the priesthood, and majored in religious studies at Yale University. He taught theology at Tampa Jesuit High School, and then moved to New Orleans where he was the executive director of THE Center, a multi-purpose community center that served the disadvantaged. Dan continued his education at Harvard Law School, where he met his wife, Jennifer Mulhern Granholm, and graduated with honors. In 1999, he co-founded the Mulhern Hastings Group, a leadership and organizational development firm, located in downtown Detroit. There he has trained, consulted, and provided executive coaching to organizations across greater Detroit. Clients have included law firms and school districts, art and cultural organizations, tier one auto suppliers and health care systems. As his wife became Michigan's 47th Governor, Mulhern decided to leave the firm he co-founded to focus first on his wife and children. He will continue to teach leadership in his new capacity in the Granholm Administration by taking on challenging projects, such as Mentor Michigan. Started by Granholm, First Lady Michelle Engler, and former Detroit Piston lsiah Thomas, Mentor Michigan successfully recruited 4,000 caring adults to mentor children who had a light brush with the legal system. Mu lhern is committed to increasing the volunteer ranks to 10,000 in the next four years to help more Michigan children succeed . Prior to his work in individual and organizational development, Dan practiced law, worked for Congressman Sander Levin, directed the youth services division for Wayne County, and raised funds for U of D Jesuit High School. His formal study of leadership began under Ronald Heifetz, co-director of leadership programs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has taught leadership at Tufts University, Wayne State and University of Michigan Dearborn . In 1993, he was awarded a WK Kellogg National Leadership grant which allowed him to further his study of leadership with nationally renowned scholars. He publishes a weekly e-column called "Reading for Leading" that stimulates the thought and development of leaders around Detroit and around the country. Dan continues work on a book on character and leadership for which he has interviewed more than 60 local, national and international political leaders. His wife, Jennifer M. Granholm, was elected Michigan's 47th Governor in November 2002. He plans to support her administration's focus on securing the future for Michigan's families by renewing his work with children who need an extra helping hand to achieve their dreams. The third of seven children, Dan was born in Detroit to Mary and Jack Mulhern. He grew up in Inkster and Lathrup Village, both suburbs of Detroit. In his spare time, he coaches his daughters' basketball teams and tries valiantly to keep up with his five-year old son's already hearty appetite for learning .

Mawby 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: /L Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwel~ Executive Director DATE: May 5, 2003 RE: Executive Director's Report This report will outline the primary activities of the MCSC since February and explain future events that will be of interest to you as a member of the MCSC. A tremendous amount has been accomplished over the past three months that forced me to make a rather lengthy report, but all the information will be relevant to our discussions at the May meeting. There will also be a great deal of attention given to the activities of the state and federal government as each has generated a great deal of activity and tension in recent weeks. Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan 's AmeriCorps Competitive Funding Application The Executive Committee approved the AmeriCorps Competitive Funding package at their Ferbrary meeting. The details of that package are included in the Executive Committee materials behind tab 2 of this mailing. As in the past, there are two cycles of AmeriCorps funding. First, the AmeriCorps Competitive package is forwarded to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) for their review. In June the CNCS will designate which programs it will fund out of that package and at what amount. Staff will then examine the remaining programs and deteimine our best strategy for the Formula package. This allows the MCSC to get as many quality programs funded as possible each year. Unfortunately, we will not be funding as many programs this year as in the past due to significant reductions in federal funding. AmeriCorps Enrollment and Funding Crisis As you may recall from my recent emails and memos, the CNCS has experienced a number of accounting challenges brought on by mismanagement of the Educational Award Trust (funds set aside to support the post-service benefit of AmeriCorps members). In November, the �CNCS decided to cease enrollment of AmeriCorps members until they could verify that sufficient funds were available to cover their existing commitments. Enrollment has since been opened again, but Congress has severely limited the number of members that can be enrolled (50,000), taken programming funds from states to cover the costs of making the Trust solvent, and admonished the CNCS for its mishandling of the situation. Now, even the most ardent supporters of AmeriCorps are upset and are looking for proof that the issue has been solved. Unfortunately, there are still uncertainties lingering about the amount of funding the Trust currently has and how many commitments will need to be covered. Therefore, while the enrollment freeze has been lifted, there will be anywhere from 35-50% fewer program dollars available in Michigan to support the members' efforts. We now know that approximately $240 million in requests were forwarded to the CNCS for Competitive AmeriCorps funding and only $50 million will be available. All of this is detailed in the attached memo dated March 18. I believe that it is important that the MCSC remain focused on three important issues as they relate to this crisis: 1. Michigan's programs are doing great work. The national mishandling of funds and mismanagement of the accounting processes should not reflect on the good work of local AmeriCorps programs and certainly not their members. (see Michigan's AmeriCorps attached). 2. Michigan's systems are sound. The MCSC has taken great steps to ensure it is accountable for the state and federal funds it administers. Over the past two years our accounting, programming, grant-making and personnel systems have all been examined and approved. 3. States should not pay for federal mistakes. The CNCS appropriations to state and local communities must not be used to pay for the accounting errors of the CNCS. The more than $100 million needed to make the Education Award Trust solvent has been paid largely out of cuts made to state-administered AmeriCorps programs while many other programs within the CNCS use the Education Awards. The local program funds must be restored to the previous year's levels and the burden to pay for the mistakes must be borne by the federal entity that created them. Michigan's AmeriCorps 2003 Signature Service Project June 20-21, Battle Creek Battle Creek's Washington Heights neighborhood is going to see a big change this summer. In just one day, 300 AmeriCorps members from across the state will come to Battle Creek to build four new homes from the ground up. Right now, four vacant lots on Helen Montgomery Street are filled with nothing but brush and trash. On June 21, 2003, four houses, complete with roofs, siding, and windows, will be constructed in just 8 hours. For most folks in the neighborhood, this project will result in a great improvement to the ugly string oflots that has been an eyesore for years. For four families, these new homes will bring a change that will shape the rest of their lives. �This homebuilding project is the focus of this year's Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state come together for a day of service in one community. This year's project is being organized in conjunction with Battle Creek's Habitat for Humanity, Neighborhood Inc., Michigan National Guard, Michigan Department of Corrections' Prison Build Program, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. We would love to have the Commissioners participate in the event. If you are interested in joining us for the June 21st Signature Service Project, please contact Janice Harvey at 517373-4998. Member Council Newsletter Attached you will find the most recent edition of MI AmeriCorps (pronounced "My AmeriCorps"), the member newsletter published by the Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Council three times a year. The newsletter contains articles from AmeriCorps members throughout the state. By the time the third issue of MI AmeriCorps is published in July, each of the 24 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will have contributed at least one article. The member newsletter is one way for members to learn more about the different ways AmeriCorps is helping our communities in Michigan. Service-Learning in Michigan 2003-2004 Learn and Serve- Michigan Funding The MCSC, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is seeking proposals for 2003-2004 Learn and Serve- Michigan School-Based programs. For FY20032004 approximately $525,000 is available competitively for local public school districts, intermediate school districts, and public and private school academies. Funding ranges from $6,000 to $40,000, dependant on school size and implementation level. More than 7,300 Notice of Funds available announcements were mailed on April11, 2003. Technical assistance sessions were offered on April30, 2003 in Lansing and on May 2, 2003 in Roscommon. Applications are due to the MCSC on June 13, 2003. Please share this information with education institutions you believe might be interested. Future Learn & Serve Funding April was a busy month for the Learn and Serve - Michigan staff. Over the course of the month the staffhas developed and submitted three Learn and Serve applications to support service-learning in Michigan. The Learn and Serve- Michigan Community-based application requested $350,000 a year for three years to support service-learning through nonprofit and community organizations during non-school hours. The Learn and Serve-Michigan schoolbased formula application, submitted on behalf of the Michigan Department of Education, requested $765,719 a year for three years to support grants to local school districts to implement and institutionalize service-learning district-wide. Finally, in partnership with the MDE and the Council ofMichigan's Learning to Give Project, the MCSC submitted a Learn and Serve school-based competitive grant in the amount of$180,500 a year for three years to develop 20 new Learning to Give Pilot schools in the Learn and Serve grantee school districts, develop 100 new service-learning lesson plans that will deepen the connection between history, civics, and service-learning, further developing higher education partnerships to support local schools in implementing service-learning and civics education, and support the practice and advocacy of service-learning by youth networks. �2003 Institute on Service-Learning: Engaging Students in a Disengaged Society On February 13,2003, the MCSC, in partnership with Michigan Campus Compact, Central Michigan University and the Michigan Department of Education, sponsored the Institute on Service-Learning; Engaging Students in a Disengaged Society. This is the second year that the MCSC has partnered on this annual event. More than 350 administrators, educators and students from K12 and institutions of higher education participated in thirty-four workshops and pre-conference sessions. Featured speakers included Dr. Michael Rao, President of Central Michigan University, Kathleen Strauss, President of the State Board of Education, and Dr. Edgar Beckham of the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The MCSC hosted one-day Learn and Serve -Michigan School-Based grantee meeting and ServiceLearning Youth Council (SLYC) meetings on February 12, 2003 to coincide with the institute. Service-Learning Summer Symposium Learn and Serve grantees from across the state are being invited to attend the second annual summer service-learning symposium, Transforming Vision Into Action: Developing Powerful Strategies for Sustaining Service-Learning, June 16-17,2003, at the Sheraton Hotel in Lansing. This symposium offers local district teams the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking dialogue and strategic planning around policy and leadership to support service-learning. Teams of up to five will learn the latest promising practices, hear from national leaders in the field, and work together to develop critical steps for building support for district wide service-learning. Teams might include teachers, building administrators, curriculum directors, parents, students, community partners, or others committed to servicelearning. Teams will craft a vision for the future and specific plans to achieve that vision. Service-Learning Regional Training One-day trainings for service-learning practitioners (or those interested in learning more) were held in three locations throughout Michigan during the month of March. The Michigan Community Service Commission sponsored "The Fundamentals of Service-Learning" in partnership with Eastern Michigan University (March 19 in Ypsilanti), Northern Michigan University (March 25 in Marquette), and Western Michigan University (March 27 in Kalamazoo). The trainings provided the fundamental building blocks for developing schoolbased service-learning. Nearly 100 attendees participated in this exciting training opportunity. Other CNCS Funded Initiatives Disability Initiative The Michigan's National Service Inclusion Project Resource Guide has been completed and distributed to National Service programs throughout the state. This 314-page manual-with material authored and adapted by Linda Adam, Disability Coordinator for the MCSCprovides information that will enable National Service programs to increase the involvement of people with disabilities. Training was offered and approximately 190 binders have been distributed to MCSC staff, AmeriCorps Program Directors, Learn and Serve Coordinators, AmeriCorps VISTA staff, Senior Corps staff, and the MCSC Disability Advisory Committee. The information contained in the Inclusion Project Resource Guide is also available on the MCSC web site under the ''News and Resources" button, which appears on the left side of every MCSC web page (http://www.michigan.gov/mcsc/0,1607.7-137-6118 22503--- �,OO.html). If you would like a copy of the binder, or a CD with the information in MS Word format, please contact Kathie Vasilion at (517) 373-4200. Michigan Citizen Corps The Michigan Citizen Corps Council hosted its second meeting in open hearing style at the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from Senior Corps programs and the Volunteer Centers both testified as to the role of volunteers. In June, the Council will meet in Marquette to finalize plans for the implementation of the Michigan Citizen Corps Communities, CERT training and the staffing of the overall initiative. Audit Update The CNCS is still drafting its management decis_ion for our audit. All indications appear that we will have a minor disallowed cost that has already been paid ($1,000) and a minor over billing to our Administration lines ($162). We are still awaiting the final management decision and the acceptance of that decision by the Inspector General for the CNCS (about six weeks). Bottom line, this is a good result. State Budget Update The MCSC was recommended for flat funding by the Governor in her budget for the 2003-04 fiscal year (roughly $1.78 million). Since that time, the Senate Appropriations Committee has eliminated $780,000 of the MCSC budget by eliminating the Volunteer Investment Grants program. Once the appropriations measure goes to the full Senate this week, it will be forwarded to the House. If the two houses disagree on the amount for VIG, it will be forced to go to a conference committee of both houses where a final compromise will be worked out and sent to the Governor. Staffing Since the February meeting we have experienced a few staff changes. We are sad to say that Jennifer Forbes, the administrative assistant to Garry Gross and Paula Kaiser, accepted a position with Michigan Department of Aviation. Liz.Scully, one of our training and communication coordinators, moved to Colorado with her husband where he has accepted a teaching position. Linda Adam, MCSC's disability coordinator and author of our newly published Disabilities Guide, was on a two-year contract which expired on April25, 2003. Inspite of the departures, we do have some great news. On Wednesday, April 30th, Diana Algrajoined our staff as the new Service-Learning Partnership/Program Development Coordinator. Diana has agreed to take a one-year position with us to help us develop support for service-learning among the various education groups and associations and resources for the field. Diana comes to us with extensive knowledge of the service field including being the former Director of AmeriCorps State and National, former director of the Michigan Campus Compact and the MCSC. We are excited to have Diana and all of the experience and energy. She will be a great addition to our staff. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M. GRANHOLM , Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Russell G. Mawby 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing , Michigan 48913 Telephone : 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 www.michigan .gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director, Michigan Community Service Commission DATE: March 18,2003 RE: Update on AmeriCorps Enrollment and Funding The challenges: 1. The Omnibus Appropriations bill resulted in a 35.4% cut in funding to states for AmeriCorps programs. 2. The unanticipated accounting shortfall in the Education Trust that resulted in the AmeriCorps enrollment freeze in November 2002. 3. The additional $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to an accounting error. 4. The proposed solutions to the above issues. On February 20, 2003, the 2003 Omnibus Appropriations measure became law. The bill included funding for formula and competitive grants to states for AmeriCorps programs for the 03-04 program year. Unfortunately, the Omnibus bill reduced state AmeriCorps program funds from $193,492,000 to $125,000,000-a cut of35.4%. This is the most significant reduction made in the entire 03-04 budget for CNCS and the largest ever for states. The bill also included $100 million for the Education Award Trust to make up for the accounting shortfall that precipitated the enrollment freeze. As a result, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) made the decision to lift the freeze on AmeriCorps enrollments. The freeze was lifted after an agreement between the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and CNCS that the $100 million Trust appropriation be used for future education awards and not be used to rectify the $64 million owed by the Trust due to accounting errors. In addition, the bill caps at 50,000 the number of individuals that can be enrolled in AmeriCorps. �To help address these issues, on Tuesday, March 4th, President Bush sent a lett~r to Speaker Hastert requesting that: a. The $64 million liability owed by the Trust due to accounting errors be liquidated. b. Congress give CNCS the power to transfer up to $50 million from programming to the Educational Award Trust to cover the unanticipated shortfall. c. CNCS have the ability to enroll more than 50,000 AmeriCorps members. While the President's proposal is a good step forward, there are a myriad of issues left unsolved. I. The proposal does not call for a restoration of program funding. The funding for state programs is still cut 35.4%. a. For Michigan, this could mean a cut of $2.1 million (of our current $6.2 million). b. This could eliminate 246 of Michigan's current 696 AmeriCorps members. 2. When next year's budget is presented (for the 04-05 programming year), any increase over the current amount of $125 million will be seen as an increase in the budget. It will not be seen as an attempt to restore funding to the originally expected level of $193 million. 3. The $50 million that can now be transferred from CNCS program funds into the Education Trust, will result in even less funds available for AmeriCorps programs. Therefore, the 35.4% cut to states could be even larger. a. A portion of the $50 million could be taken from the $125 million. 4. The $100 million allotted to the Trust is not adequate as it must cover approximately 20,000 members for the 02-03 program year (those that were impacted by the enrollment freeze) and the proposed 50,000 members for the 03-04 program year. a. $100 million is enough for 21,164 education awards for full-time members. These issues are real challenges for communities as they rely more and more on national service to fill in the social services gaps. The cuts to Michigan are hidden at the federal level, but are very real at the community level as the Michigan's AmeriCorps portfolio will shrink substantially. �FY 2003 Omnibus Appropriations Passed This chart represents a summary of the congressional appropriations as they relate to the Corporation for National and Community Service. 1 All entries are in thousands of dollars FY 2001 Enacted FY2002 Enacted FY 2003 Request FY 2003 Enacted 98,868 40,395 48,884 400 106,700 44,395 54,884 400 106,700 46,563 58,884 400 111,500 46,600 58,900 400 National Service Trust 69,846 0 57,000 100,000 AmeriCorps Grants "Formula and Competitive Grants National Directs 185,591 47,000 193,492 47,000 324,201 71,000 125,000 50,000 AmeriCorps*VISTA Innovation, Demonstration, and Assistance Activities 83,074 85,287 94,287 94,300 28,437 28,488 35,500 35,500 Evaluation 4,989 5,000 5,000 3,000 NCCC 20,954 25,000 35,000 25,000 Learn and Serve: K-12 and Higher Education 42,905 43,000 43,000 43,000 Corp. for Natl. & Comm .

In order to implement this phase, ASC convened a Design Team composed of 10 Commissioners and 5 Executive Directors representing the five clusters. The Design Team will act as the guide for all the proposed products. The five products are: 1) Commissioner Leadership Development Institute 2) Electronic Landscape Project 3) Interactive Web Site- COMPLETED, February 2003 4) Commissioner Handbook 5) Library Resource Center While each product is independently important, their interdependency will blend the individual product with the whole group, and human resources with electronic strategies. Both the curriculum guide and the electronic strategies increase efficiencies, expand interactivity and add options for commissions to secure needed information. The Design Team will focus its work on • The Commissioner Leadership Development curriculum (CLDI) - planned for 7/2003 • Train the trainer session • The Commissioner Handbook- started 2/2003; Work-In-Progress • The Resource Library. ASC has established a very ambitious time line for the Design Team. We hope to complete all of the Design Team work in approximately 12 months. The Team will meet 3 times for 2 1/2 days in 2003. ASC will provide the funding for travel, meals and lodging for all the required meetings. This design team will be a working committee. Along with curriculum consultant, Nancy McDuff, the Team members will assist in the design of the handbook, develop content, determine delivery formats, act as reviewers for each step of the project as well as address the interactivity of all 5 products. In addition to the time spent at the planning meetings the Team will be working in small committees and will meet by conference call to move the work forward. The first meeting for the Design Team was February 7, 8 & 9, 2003 in Washington, DC. The next meeting is July 25 , 26, 27 & 28 in Walla Walla, Washington .

Governor Jennifer M. Granholm appointed Mulhern to the commission this week. During remarks at the MCSC's Governor's Service Award luncheon, Mulhern announced that he would direct the commission to put a new focus on volunteer programs that mentor children . The commission will serve as the home to Mentor Michigan, a mentoring initiative begun by Governor Granholm, former First Lady Michelle Engler, and former Detroit Piston lsiah Thomas in 1999 in partnership with the Prosecuting Attorney's Association of Michigan (PAAM.) "As chair, I will direct the commission and its staff to help us strengthen and improve mentoring programs for children under the auspices of Mentor Michigan ," Mulhern said . "We recognize that state government cannot do it all, and that is why we will reinvigorate Mentor Michigan as a massive volunteer effort that will create opportunities for all of us to be citizen patriots helping children succeed ." 'The commission will provide the infrastructure to act as an information clearinghouse for mentoring , recruit volunteers, and work with mentoring programs in every county in Michigan ," Mulhern added . As First Gentleman , one of Mulhern's main priorities will be to promote mentoring and volunteer service in Michigan . "Mentoring gives a child a safe place, a great start, and a healthier outlook," Mulhern said . "Mentoring rewards both the child and the adult who serves as a mentor. As MCSC chair, I will use this platform to expand and improve mentoring programs in Michigan, giving children access to caring , responsible adult role models who can make a tremendous difference in their lives by investing some time each week." By using Michigan's networks, like the 33 Volunteer Centers, 12,000-strong Senior Corps members, or the literally hundreds of after-school programs, Mulhern said Mentor Michigan can help recruit mentors and connect volunteers with children in their local communities . 'The MCSC has the tools, reputation, and networks to establish a strong Mentor Michigan program," Mulhern said . "This will be a great benefit for children who have had a light brush with the criminal justice system and need guidance, those who are having trouble focusing on school , or those who want to spend time with an adult who can share a talent or job skill with them ." Mulhern also announced that he will host forums in the fall designed to bring existing mentoring programs in the state together to share information and help develop a comprehensive program for Mentor Michigan. "We want existing programs to tell us what they need to help make Mentor Mich igan a broad statewide initiative," Mulhern said . "Soon , we will have a web site to promote Mentor Michigan and act as an information resource for existing programs and organizations thinking about getting involved in mentoring ." "Mentor Michigan will help us secure a better future for thousands of Michigan 's children ," Mulhern added. "I am proud and delighted to spearhead th is effort for the Governor." http ://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--68376--,00.html 5/22/2003 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION CONTACf: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission (517) 335-4295 caldwellk1 @michigan.gov www.michhran.gov/mcsc GOVERNOR GRANHOLM HONORS 91-YEAR OLD VOLUNTEER HERO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lansing, Michigan, May 20,2003- Today, Governor Jennifer M.

"Bud" Weber 902 West 281h Street Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 (906) 635-7848 Bud Weber, 91 of Sault Ste. Marie, is synonymous with "Good Samaritan" in Chippewa County. His philosophy goes beyond doing the volunteer work himself; he has always encouraged others to get involved to help get the job done. His greatest impact has been the role he played in starting the United Way of Chippewa County. In 1956 he spent many hours working with a local committee, representatives from other area United Ways, and the United Way of Michigan to get this project off the ground. He served as the first Campaign Chair and as a Campaign Volunteer for more than 45 years. As a result ofhis ongoing work, there are 15 agencies in Chippewa County receiving United Way funding. Collectively, these agencies served 1 in 3 residents in 2002. Throughout his volunteer career, Bud served on the board of directors for numerous organizations. He took each of his commitments seriously and did much more than just attend meetings. His visioning and action has been put to use at the Bayliss Public Library, Chippewa County International Airport, American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Camp Fire, Salvation Army, Hospice of Chippewa County, United Way of Michigan, United Way of Chippewa County, and First United Presbyterian Church. He has been an active member of the Lions Club since 1937 and is still a member today-that's 66 years of service! His work with the Lions Club brought him numerous awards including the Ambassador of Goodwill, the highest award for humanitarian service given by the Lions. Bud served as a City Commissioner and on the Planning and Development Commission. In 1951 he helped draft the City Charter that is still in effect today. He was the driving force in developing the city's Master Plan in 1986 and he served as chair of the Sault Beautification Committee for 17 years. When he was 81 years old, Bud literally "put his neck on the line" while volunteering with the Stewardship Committee of the First United Presbyterian Church. While he was delivering pledge information to a church family member, he fell and broke his neck. But he never lost his sense of humor during his recovery period and was out serving his community again in no time. Bud and his wife, Gretchen, have recently moved into a long-term care facility. He is now focusing his service on writing a history of Sault Ste. Marie so that others can learn from someone who has lived it rather than just researched it. Through his actions, Bud has made service his lifetime's greatest achievement. 1 �2003 Governor's Service Awards Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award Honorable Mention Barbara Alban 12 Tumberry Lane Dearborn, MI 48120-1167 (313) 240-4052 When asked to describe Barbara Alban, people use words like vibrant, caring, sympathetic, willing, competent, organized, and loyal.

Honorable Mention Bobbie Wilson 200 West Hamilton Circle Battle Creek, MI 49015 (269) 963-3204 Because of the volunteer service of Bobbie Wilson, the Leila Arboretum in Battle Creek is a community landmark today. The 72 acres that included an arboretum and botanical garden, was donated to Battle Creek by the C.W. Post family in the early 1920's. Beginning with the Great Depression and continuing until the early 1980' s the land languished. Then in 1983 Bobbie Wilson became involved with the board of directors and helped establish the Leila Arboretum Society. She and a small band of volunteers redeveloped the old arboretum in accordance with the original landscape design. From 1983 to 1991 when the first paid staff came on board, the Society was comprised of all volunteers and guided by the vision and enthusiasm of Bobbie. The face of Battle Creek is changed forever because of the Leila Arboretum Society. This is not a typical "garden club." It is a serious effort to restore a community landmark and to provide a place of incredible beauty, peace, and tranquility. The tone and vision for this project has been carried primarily in the hands of Bobbie Wilson. She has also volunteered with the local chapter of Keep America Beautiful; coordinated the Battle Creek's Pride-a campaign to clean up downtown Battle Creek; served on the Battle Creek Parks and Recreational Commission and the Historical Commission; actively participated on the board of the United Way of Greater Battle Creek; has been a hospital volunteer; served as Chair of the Battle Creek Sesquicentennial Celebration; is one of the founders of the Pioneer Festival; and more. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The impact that it has on children is incredible. While they may not always remember my name, they know that I am there to help. The trust and confidence they have in me is overwhelming. They believe in me, and as a result, I have learned to believe in me, as well. I have learned that all things are possible, and that I can accomplish whatever I set out to achieve. Children seem to have a way about them that can brighten my day and remind me that one bad day isn't the end of the world. ~. ·: ~ w.~ · :- .:: .. r .· ...... ~ • ,. ·1-. .. ... ~.{•;·::.~~ :-;~J~ ~~l~ . · ~~ ::-=. trt t;.: .. :·;/lolj':•· ¥.:.:il~·· . iM~t-:.~ ~ ~~~r~ ~~f . ·~:f ~ ~':\: - .- I have learned to be patient and listen, To care, to love and to laugh. .. .. ~ 'I I have learned that I can make a difference, One child at a time, I can change their world.

Movie is the ticket ................ :.2 AmeriCorps Oakland Member Honored Nationally Elizabeth Pellerito, AmeriCorps Oakland 0 AmeriCorps Oakland member Lenny Compton got the opportunity of a lifetime this past January: the chance to travel to Washington, D.C. and join President George W. Bush for the State of the Union Address. Lenny got to tour the White House and was escorted by the Secret Service to the House Gallery in the Capitol Building , where he sat three seats away from the First Lady during the Address. Besides meeting both the President and First Lady, Lenny also spoke with Hilary Rodham Clinton and Condoleezza Rice, and saw many other top politicians and journalists during his trip. After the excitement of the Address, Lenny and ten others were asked to participate in a panel discussion on mentoring. He described his years with AmeriCorps and his own take on mentoring. And Lenny appeared on several TV news networks, including CNN and MSNBC - not to mention the many stories generated by the local media in the metro Detroit area. Lenny just completed his second term of service with AmeriCorps Oakland . He is a senior elementary education major at Oakland University. This trip marks the second time Lenny has met the president in the past six months. In October 2002, Lenny was chosen as an official Freedom Corps greeter at the Oakland County International Airport. He is well known both in the Oakland Corps and around Oakland University, and recently published an editorial in the Oakland Post raising awareness about AmeriCorps which urged students to make a difference and "get things done" for others. "Although I have seen the indelible difference that volunteering can have at a local level," he wrote, "I was awestruck by the countless acts volunteers are doing across the U.S ... Now, amidst a nation that has many challenges to face, we can make it better, one person at a time. I challenge you to discover the good in others and inspire those who need it. Trust me, you'll make a dramatic difference." �Page 0 of 4 0 Ml AmeriCorps F.R.E.E. Movie Is the Ticket Pam Cain, Read ingCorps provide a way for them to spend time together doing something they all enjoy. AmeriCorps Members of Ionia County ReadingCorps work the concessions. " ...all of the kids ... felt proud because they read. " •o• Pam Cain of Ionia heads up the popular and familiar Families Reading Every Evening (F.R.E.E.) Movie, which has returned to the students of Ionia County this school year. There are currently 21 schools and several home schooled students participating in the program. Children in elementary grades are given a calendar each month to track the time they read together at home with their families . At the end of the month, the calendars are returned to their classroom teacher where they are exchanged for a pass to a special showing of a first run movie at the Ionia Theater. The pass entitles the entire family to see the movie free of charge. It really is a win-win situation. Children read more while other family members join in on a positive, fun recreational activity. While we too often hear about families struggling to afford such recreation , AmeriCorps and the Ionia Theatre have been pleased to be able to The movie for November, Treasure Planet, was shown three times Saturday, December 4, to accommodate the nearly 1200 people in attendance. A dozen AmeriCorps members acted as concessionaires trying to keep up with the never-ending popcorn lines !! Dave Cook, Manager of the Ionia Theatre, deserves a round of applause for his cooperation and support of this exciting monthly event. We also extend thanks to the staff involved at participating elementary schools, and our home school mom and coordinator, Glenda Thompson . ReadingCorps Director Amy Buckingham so beautifully described what I think motivates members to do this type of service work in a letter of appreciation : "Just think of all the popcorn that was made and the candy that was handed out and the supplies that were stocked and the butter that was blasted everywhere , not to mention the tickets that were given out and then counted and the people who were seated and the thousands of transactions on the till and the slushies and the straws and the carrying of ice for hundreds of sodas, and the ticket taking , ooor holding, seat finding and the lines and . . . all of the kids who felt proud because they read." Winter Helpers Tressa Anthony, Vo lunteer Muskegon's Amer iCorps "After a long day of helping youth with winter activities all you want to do is drop down and get some sleep. " Volunteer Muskegon's AmeriCorps partnered with Muskegon's Promise: The Alliance for Youth as they hosted their annual Winter Sports Days. Winter Sports Days celebrated its ninth annual year where over 200 inner-city youth from our community participated in winter sports activities during their MidWinter school break. For most youth this was their first time being exposed to winter activities. On Friday, February 14, and Monday, February 17, 2003 youth began their day at Muskegon State Park's Winter Sports Complex cross-country skiing, sliding down the luge, snow shoeing and playing broom ball. After a hot dog roast for lunch, youth went to the L.C. Walker Arena to ice skate with Furious Fred of the Muskegon Fury hockey team . "After a long day of helping youth with winter activities all you want to do is drop down and get some sleep," says AmeriCorps member Quayera Gilchrist who assisted youth in getting fitted for cross-country skis and guiding them through the trails. �Ml AmeriCorps Page 3 of 4 Letter of Gratitude Chris Stackpoole, AmeriCorps Homelessness 0 0 My name is Christopher Stackpoole and I have just completed my year of service with the AmeriCorps Homelessness Program in Wayne County, Michigan. Three years of law school could not prepare me for the world I was about to step into this year, working as a legal aid attorney. From day one, I was placed at a site with a challenging, overworked staff and complicated clients. My year of service was an unending exercise of sink-or-swim survival techniques. I knew that serving as a legal aid attorney would require all the skills and energy could muster, but the reality of my job was beyond anything I could imagine. As I worked through the obstacles of office politics, limited resources, and complex legal matters I came to understand how the legal system actually works for the poor. In my efforts to help people through the legal process, it became clear that the difference between the abstract rights of the law and actually getting justice was having an attorney to advocate a client's position . Although the work was taxing and the resources were very limited, I enjoyed helping people who, if it were not for my assistance, would have received no legal help. I share these words not to congratulate myself so much, but to give honor to all AmeriCorps members who overcome economic pressures, community challenges, office politics, limited resources, and all of the pressures that come with working in the social service field . What we have done for our communities amounts to far more than a paycheck or a tuition · voucher can ever repay. Therefore, I want to thank all of you , who sacrifice so much in order to serve others as AmeriCorps members. "What we have done for our communities amounts to far more than a paycheck or a tuition voucher can ever repay. " Sincerely, Christopher Stackpoole Esq.

The realization of becoming a Mother, the moment that I declared my return to a University, the finding of my spirituality and my internalized commitment to service and AmeriCorps. Each one of these has contributed to my personal growth. As a second term AmeriCorps member I look back on my service and realize that truly there wasn't any l ~~0 "TAA"T ~OOi ~~~ a-KE.

For me, AmeriCorps has been a breaking point for both my personal and professional development. My service led me to the realization that there is more to this world than myself. While observing social injustice and oppression I realized that I could untenably sit by and contribute to the injustice or I could work to change the way people think about such things. The change that I went through is what helps me change other people. I believe our experiences with AmeriCorps can influence us as members to become part of the solution, because ultimately we are defined by our actions, not our words. We're on the Web!

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 200 1, Americans have acted with courage, compassion, and unity. To capture this spirit and to foster an American culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility, President Bush is calling upon all Americans to dedicate at least two years of their lives-the equivalent of 4,000 hours-in service to others. He launched the USA Freedom Corps initiative to inspire and enable all Americans to find ways to serve. The Michigan Citizen Corps was established in April2002 in response to President Bush's call to action and because experience shows that volunteerism is a viable means for solving community challenges. Citizen Corps are a component of the USA Freedom Corps that creates opportunities for individuals to volunteer to help their communities prepare for and respond to emergencies. It brings together local leaders, individual volunteers, and the network offrrst responder organizations such as police departments, fire departments, and emergency medical personnel. The goal is to have all citizens participate in making their communities safer, stronger, and better prepared for preventing and handling threats of terrorism, crime, and disasters of all kinds. Programs of the Michigan Citizen Corps include: • • • • • Community Emergency Response Teams Neighborhood Watch Programs Volunteers in Police Service Medical Reserve Corps Citizen Corps Councils The Michigan Citizen Corps Council was established in November 2002. This 12-member council serves as an advisory committee of the MCSC and provides direction on issues related to homeland security and the role volunteers can play in disaster preparedness. The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will : • • • • Submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor. Support the development and coordination·of local Citizen Corps Councils throughout Michigan. Broker federal, state, and local resources for local volunteer Citizen Corps initiatives. Coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. The Michigan Citizen Corps will grant $444,785 in 2003 to help communities coordinate volunteers to prepare for and respond to local emergencies.

Welcome and Introduction -Michigan Citizen Corps Council Chairperson Bouchard. The meeting was called to order at 1: 13 p.m. by Chairperson Bouchard. Chairperson Bouchard welcomed everyone to the meeting and explained that the Council would be meeting around the state to gain information and input from individuals around the state and to also get information out about the Michigan Citizen Corps Council. . Chairperson Bouchard asked Council members to introduce themselves. He explained that the Michigan Citizen Corps Council was established by an Executive Order by the Governor to carry out the initiative of the President to help communities to be prepared for any kind of homeland security issues or emergencies. Chairperson Bouchard thanked Rusty Merchant from the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce for hosting the meeting. II. Charge ofthe Council- SheriffBouchard Chairperson Bouchard explained that legislation is being drafted by Representative Nofs regarding liability protection for citizen volunteers. He requested to have the following accomplished by the June meeting: • Selection and approval of the eight pilot regions. • To disseminate and approve an application to go out to the different groups to get them on-line and lined up paper-wise so we'll have individuals and places confirmed to begin the training. • Make the selection of eight pilot initiatives to receive the training for Train-the-trainer for CERT training. They will then train individuals in those eight pilot regions. • Identify a person that will be the staff person on a contractual basis to oversee the day to day operations of putting this all together. The initiative is to try to push things forward so that before the end of the year we would like to see trained citizens able to respond. Chairperson Bouchard explained the effort is to fmd a way to have a group of citizens involved in the effort of homeland security or emergency situations trained and able to respond and work cohesively together with the First Responders. After 9/11 you saw a huge outpouring of individuals that wanted to help and this gives them a very formal and tangible outlet for those efforts that will serve the community and help us all and still provide an outline for the positive, well meaning efforts of those citizens that want to give back to the community and this will allow them to do it in a very meaningful way. III. Review of Michigan Citizen Corps Council- Kyle Caldwell A. Update on Ad-hoc Committees 2 �1. Citizen Corp Council Ad-hoc Committee At the February Council meeting it was discussed how the selection process would take place. A DRAFT form was distributed to Council members to review. Chairperson Bouchard suggested changes to the Verification Form for Local Citizen Corps Councils that was given to the Council members. His suggested change was to the first question and to change it to City, Township, Village, County, Tribe or a Combination thereof and then describe it. It gives those at any level the option to be involved and also the option to partner with any different group or community. Chairperson asked if any Council members had any other changes they would like incorporated into the form. There were no other suggestions. Kyle Caldwell stated that we will make the suggested changes. This will be the form that the Council will use to channel interest on the part of local inquiries on how to become a Michigan Citizen Corp Council. FEMA doesn't go through quite as extensive process as we do but this will provide us with deeper information that we can use to support the communities. Mr. Caldwell explained the second piece the Council came up with is a DRAFT document called Michigan Citizen Corps Council I Michigan CERT Support Request Support Guidance for Michigan Communities. This is the first draft of the document that will be distributed to the eight selected communities to develop their plan on how they will utilize the Citizen Corps dollars and the funding through CERT. This is a draft piece that was put together by the Citizen Corp Ad-hoc Committee for the Council members to review. It is not urgent that this be developed at this meeting but thought that it should be distributed to the entire Council. Mr. Caldwell highlighted that this is the model that California is currently using to select communities and distribute funds. The ad-hoc committee felt that there was some Michigan language that needed to be put into place, especially regarding training in CERT. There was discussion by the ad-hoc committee on how the Councils at the local level would include broader groups of emergency managers and first responders. 2. Staffing Ad-hoc Committee Kyle Caldwell discussed the position description and stated that it will be posted on the MCSC website. 3. CERT Ad-hoc Committee Kyle Caldwell discussed that the committee went through the Instructor and CERT Student Manual. They focused on the first section which is an introduction on why the CERT training is needed. The first section is a two-hour session and the entire block of training is two days. The ad-hoc committee is going to have some future discussion on whether the whole piece is delivered in one setting over two days and whether there are 3 �pieces that can be broken down. There is also a terrorist section which is brand new, developed by FEMA, that will need to be incorporated as well. The committee discussed who would be the trainers that would deliver the product. There were some concerns that we have people qualified but also have people with good intentions of delivering this training to their communities. We'll need to determine those who would not be qualified. That can be done through the application process for the funding and through the screening process when we take applications for participants for the training. · IV. Future Work of the Michigan Citizen Corps Council - Chairperson Bouchard. A. Follow-up on Committee progress and discussion of Action Plan. 1. Chairperson Bouchard reiterated where the different committees have started their work and the direction they are going and will finalize for formal ratification by the Council at the June 2 meeting so that we can continue to move forward in a timely fashion and lead the nation in this effort. 2. Chairperson Bouchard discussed that the Michigan State Police has its districts separated into eight districts around the state and wants the Council to come up with a rationale of where the eight pilots are located and that it should have some semblance of population and geography rationale so that the whole state is served and one particular trainer won't be responsible for a huge number and another trainer will be responsible for a small number. We still have to come to some rational conclusion of what those districts will be. The task was assigned to the CERT Ad-hoc Committee so that in June we can come back with some rational on where the selections come from both in population and geography so that the state as a whole is completely and properly served. Artd also at the same time we'll hopefully be able to come back with eight individual communities from those regions. 3. Chairperson Bouchard also asked that the other ad-hoc committees complete their business so that we can formally ratify those decisions at the June meeting as well. A. Discussion of General Operating Procedures - Chairperson Bouchard Chairperson Bouchard stated that copies were distributed of the House and Senate rules on the way their committees operated. He asked whether the Council would like to formally adopt rules governing the Council meetings or leave it as free flow as it's been. The Council felt that as long as the members are allowed to put a motion forward, that formal rules were not needed. 4 �B. Future Meeting Dates Chairperson Bouchard discussed that the Council would be meeting around the State to engage the whole state into the discussion and to make it accessible, convenient and available for the whole state to be involved both to solicit their interest and involvement and to let them know what the state is doing. The upcoming 2003 meetings and locations are: June 2- Marquette September 8 - Kalamazoo December 10 - Oakland County V. Public Comment David Yardley, Representative Mike Nofs office, discussed the volunteer liability issue and stated that they have submitted legislation to the Legislative Service Bureau and should have it back by the week of May 1 and through Committee. Chairperson Bouchard mentioned that he would be willing to testify at the Committee hearing. Lt. Tim Connor, Farmington Hills Police Department, asked for an update on the FEMA grant money and how it would be spent. Kyle Caldwell explained that FEMA is working to put together rules and regulations under which the dollars will be expended. The Council has been working with the MSP, who will be the recipient of the dollars, which should be dispersed soon. We have received notification that our application has been accepted. The funding is in two blocks- one for Citizen Corps Council, and the other block for CERT Training. Those two come together under one grant- just under $500,000. Those were cut under a FY2002 supplemental bill that we will need to expend by the end of this fiscal year, September 30. Chairperson Bouchard explained that the initial push by the federal government is to get people trained as quickly as possible which is why we are trying to expedite our process so we can meet that timeline and can utilize that funding before the fiscal year ends. Janet Clark, President of Michigan Association of R.S.V.P. Directors, discussed the 22 RSVP programs and how their senior volunteers can help with homeland security and the Michigan Citizen Corps Council. Judy Tymowitz, Executive Director, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan, gave a brief overview of the network of volunteer centers and how they can help the Michigan Citizen Corps Council. Four directors of volunteer centers gave background on their specific locations: Lara MacGregor- Ottawa County United Way and Volunteer Center Martha Bottomley - Volunteer Muskegon Kathy White - Heart of West Michigan United Way Denise Hubbard - Montcalm County United Way and Volunteer Connections 5 �Denise Hubbard also discussed that the capacity for volunteer centers is always an issue so anything than can be done within the Citizen Corps Council to help with capacity issues would be appreciated. Help is needed to make sure they have the staff ready and available to assist in an emergency, to have the adequate training for those volunteers and staff, to have communication message so that volunteers that are ready to help feel like there is some ongoing communications, and the equipment and backup system for all of this. They are using a number of resources and look forward to hearing more about the Citizen Corps initiative. Don Barnes, formally from Steelcase and a volunteer, talked about his support for Citizen Corps. He hopes that the groups can come together to share resources and work with community emergency response teams. Chairperson Bouchard asked for any other comments. No other comments were made. Chairperson Bouchard reminded everyone that the next meeting is on June 2 in Marquette. The meeting was adjourned at 2:09pm. 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Maw by The meeting was called to order at 12:19 p.m. by Chairperson Mawby. Chairperson Mawby welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked everyone to introduce themselves. Chairperson Mawby introduced the new commissioners, Pamela Abbey Roth and Jessica Pellegrino, and asked them to give background on themselves. II. Review and Approval ofDecember 16,2002, Minutes - Chairperson Mawby Chairperson Mawby asked for any corrections to the minutes from the December 16, 2002, meeting. Kyle Caldwell noted one change in the minutes under Section ill, Executive Committee Report, staff recommendations granting additional powers to the Executive Committee to approve the MCSC ' s grant application submissions to the CNCS. Paragraph should read: Commissioner O'Day moved to approve the recommendations for the Executive Committee to approve the MCSC's grant application submissions. Commissioner West seconded the motion and the recommendations were approved. Motion passed unanimously. Chairperson Mawby asked for a motion to approve. Commissioner Barfield moved to approve the December 16, 2002, minutes. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion to approve the minutes. Motion passed unanimously. ill. Standing Committee Reports - Chairperson Mawby. A. Executive Committee Report - Chairperson Mawby. 1. Chairperson Mawby discussed the minutes of the January 17, 2003, Executive Committee Meeting which were passed out to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they reviewed the agenda for the February 10, 2003, meeting, the transition ofthe new executive branch in Lansing, and the annual performance review of the Executive Director. 2. Chairperson Mawby explained the process for performance review of the Executive Director and requested that each board member complete the performance review and return it to Jennifer Forbes at the MCSC office. Chairperson Mawby will summarize the results and have a constructive review with Kyle Caldwell. Because Kyle's position is Civil Service, the review does not impact his position and salary. However, it is useful in fulfilling the job and is important to have this communication between the Commission and the Executive Director. It is also important to have it as a part of his personnel portfolio. Mr. Caldwell explained that he wanted 2 �everyone to be frank and honest as the results are used to help the way we do business and try to establish priorities. B. Board Development Committee- Chairperson Mawby 1. Chairperson Maw by discussed the letter of resignation from Commissioner Michelle Engler to Governor Granholm. A response from the Governor's office had not been received, but it was expected that it will be accepted. MCSC will acknowledge appropriately to Michelle our appreciation for the leadership and service she provided. Chairperson Mawby noted a handwritten footnote in the letter where Mrs. Engler noted that she thought Dan Mulhern would find the MCSC a tremendous opportunity to do good things . There is a meeting scheduled with Mr. Mulhern to discuss the MNA, MCSC, and ConnectMichigan Alliance, to give him an overview and to discuss his possibility of becoming a member of the Commission. Chairperson Mawby asked for a motion to elect Commissioner Engler to the Leadership Advisory Council of the Commission, which consists of former members of the commission. Commissioner Swain moved to approve the election of Commissioner Engler to the Council. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion and the recommendation was approved. Motion passed unanimously. C. Outreach and Communications Committee- Commissioner O'Day 1. Governor Service Awards Update. Commissioner O'Day discussed the alternative for the Governor Service Awards dinner, which will not take place this year, due to the new Governor's transition and budget constraints. Suggestions were made at the December Commission meeting and the changes were incorporated into the program. The nomination form is available on the website and in hardcopy. Commissioner O'Day explained the best way Commissioners can help is by getting the word out about the change to people who have nominated volunteers in the past as well as people who are interested in nominating volunteers in the future. Commissioners should direct those requesting information to the MCSC website or to call the MCSC office. Also, Commissioners can email or make copies of the nomination form they received to share with as many people that they can, or give the staff names and addresses of those you think may be interested in a nomination form. One of the biggest changes is that we are accepting nominations year round. State Farm has agreed to be a sponsor this year They are interested in the work that the commission does around youth and service-learning. They 3 �are sponsoring the Governor's Service Awards nominations that focus on youth, service-learning, and education. Commissioner 0' Day explained that the next step is to put together a Peer Review Panel. Commissioner Macon agreed to serve on the panel. Members of the Outreach Committee and other volunteers will also serve on the Peer Review Panel. The number of peer review panelists will be determined by the number of nominations received so people don't have to review more than 15 or so nominations. Commissioner O'Day explained to help promote the Gov. George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteerism the commission is partnering with the Council of Michigan Foundation and Michigan Nonprofit Association to create a joint nomination form for the Romney Award and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy. Tllis year both awards will be presented at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference on May 20,2003. A copy of the nomination form was given to Commissioners. There is a deadline for these two awards (March 21). The other Governor Service Awards can be nominated anytime. They will be considered by the Peer Review Panel, which will meet quarterly to establish the volunteers that will be recognized for the next few months. The MCSC staff will help to promote GSA by distributing flyers to their database (14,000 individuals) which will direct people to their website or contact the office; mailing the form to all grantees and key stakeholders; working with MNA and CMA, United Way, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Library, etc. to have them promote on their website and in their newsletters; putting announcements on State of Michigan employee paycheck stubs; promoting on the MCSC's home page; and sending announcements out to a variety of list serves. Commissioner Pickard asked the amount of the State Farm donation and was told it was $5,000. Commissioner Barfield asked if that was enough. Kyle Caldwell explained that the program shrinks with the size of the donation. The GSA program and dinner cost approximately $30,000, which covered the event, the printing, etc. Commissioner O'Day asked the amount of the last Ameritech contribution. Kyle Caldwell stated that it declined over time but the last contribution was $15,000. In the first year they underwrote the entire cost and then they capped it at around $12,000 to $15,000, so the MCSC absorbed the additional amount. Ameritech is no longer a sponsor. Kyle Caldwell and Commissioner O'Day stated that the goal of the GSA is to take it out to the communities to build up enough interest and then next year get back on track with a statewide dinner. Tills year there will be local events that may include the local state representative or senator, or 4 �possibly a media event and hopefully with the Governor, to recognize the GSA winners. It will involve more people in different ways and may end up strengthening the program. Commissioner O'Day handed out updates to the Commisioner Key Information Binders. Chairperson Mawby discussed the upcoming commission meeting on Monday, May 19, 2003. The meeting will take place at the Lansing Center and will begin at 11 :00 am. We will join the Grantmakers/Grantseekers lunch at 12:15 pm, with the guest speaker Mike Farrell from M.A.S.H. After lunch, we will re-convene. He also noted that the annual retreat will be at Brook Lodge on September 11 and 12 and the December meeting will take place in Dearborn. D. Report ofMCSC Designees to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Board of Trustees Commissioner Mawby 1. Update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign Chairperson Mawby asked Dr. John Lore to give the Connect Michigan Alliance (CMA) update. Dr. Lore gave an update on the fundraising activities and distributed copies of a CMA gift snapshot to everyone. This gave a breakdown of the money being raised and the money that has already been raised. Dr. Lore stated that they are within $628,000 from reaching the goal of the $20 million grant. It was suggested by Commissioner O'Day and Jocelyn Vanda to approach athletes that are promentoring, literacy and service-learning to see if they are interested in making a donation. E. Report on Michigan Campus Compact - Chairperson Mawby 1. F. Chairperson Mawby asked Amy Smitter to give an update and overview on the Michigan Campus Compact. She explained that it is a state organization of college presidents that are committing their universities to make a difference in communities and their students in terms of community service, service-learning and civic engagement. The campus compact has 35 members now but is in the process of adding the University of Detroit Mercy. That's about 40% of higher education institutions in the state. The Campus Compact works with those presidents, faculty, staff and students on those campuses. Volunteer Centers ofMichigan- Chairperson Mawby 1. Chairperson Mawby asked Judy Tymowicz to give brief comments on Volunteer Centers ofMichigan. Judy stated that Volunteer Centers of Michigan have 35 volunteer center members which serve 47 counties in 5 �Michigan. That means that 88% of the population in the state has volunteer centers accessible to the residents in those counties. The mission is community volunteerism and to get all residents involved at the local level. They work with the MCSC through the Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants program, which leverage endowment funds and provide operational funds for volunteer centers who establish to continue their organization. IV. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell G. Program Updates 1. Volunteer Investment Grants Funding (approval item). Ms. Kaiser explained that at the December MCSC board meeting 12 grants were approved for $659,095. Therefore, we had $121,000 available to allocate in a second round. Immediately following that board meeting staff issued round two guidelines. MCSC received seven applications on January 21, 2003, totaling $335,000. All seven applications were reviewed by an external peer review group. From that peer review, five of the seven were recommended for staff review. The staff reviewed those five, totaling $205,000, which exceeded the amount we had available ($121,000). The staff recommended that all five be funded and recommended dividing the available amounts by the five organizations. Staff asked the board to approve: Calvin College in the amount of $24,200; Dickinson Iron Community Services Agency in the amount of $24,200; ENRICH of Ionia County in the amount of$24,200; Jackson Nonprofit Support Center in the amount of$24,200; and Volunteer Center ofMid-Michigan in the amount of$24,200. A motion to approve the staff recommendations was made by Commissioner O'Day and seconded by Commissioner Seese. Motion passed unanimously. Kyle Caldwell discussed the status ofthe state funding ofthe VIG grants. The Commission was recently contacted by its fiscal agency about this particular grant funding. This is the only fund that MCSC distributes that is solely general purpose State of Michigan funding. Originally this was a $1 million annual endowment-building program. As ofFebruary 10, the funding stood at $659,095. In addition, all the grant agreements through the MDCD, our fiscal agency, were held up by the department because of the pending budget cuts. Mr. Caldwell discussed the budget crisis and possible upcoming program cuts. He also explained that the volunteer centers have been notified that the grants were being held. 6 �2. Introduction ofMCSC Staff The MCSC staff introduced themselves and the programs they work with. 3. AmeriCorps Kyle Caldwell gave a report on Oakland County AmeriCorps member, Lenny Compton, and his experience at the President's State of the Union address. Lenny was on the news circuit the following day to talk about his service. A bio and press release on Lenny was on the MCSC website. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is working to craft the next AmeriCorps application. The challenge for the MCSC is that we don't know how much money we will have to appropriate next year and we are operating our current budget on what are called continuing resolutions (taking the numbers from last year, freezing them and moving them forward into the current operating year). Congress has extended that until February 20, 2003. MCSC was currently looking at requests that exceed $8 million. Staff were moving forward with some really good applications, but didn't know what was going to be available. The strategy was to bring forth quality, submit it all, and see what happens. Mr. Caldwell explained the challenge facing AmeriCorps is that the CNCS, for a number of reasons including the high demand on AmeriCorps slots as well as an accounting mishap, does not have enough money in the education trust to cover AmeriCorps educational awards so ceased enrollment. This means that programs which are funded through us with a January start and would be enrolling members in January and November were unable to enroll members. That is a huge crunch on programs. It also means that programs that lose members will not be able to fill them. The freeze will stay on until the foreseeable future. The Corporation claims that it has enough money to cover current commitments, with roughly about 20,000 that they can bring on slowly. The bigger challenge is that the Trust is somewhere in the area of $40 to $65 million short. Congress is not appropriating large sums of money to go into the endowment trust. So it's got to come from somewhere and usually that's from state commissions. That impacts the $8 million in requests that we'll carry forward and be looking at budget cuts into next year. Ms. Kaiser explained that about 60% ofthe AmeriCorps slots from last year have been filled so there is about 40% for our state alone that are vacant and they are not able to fill them at this time. The majority of our programs started back in September and October so they were able to bring on some of their members. The staff is in continuous contact with our members with the implications on them and helping them to resolve issues as they come up. 7 �4. Learn and Serve- Service-Learning Kyle Caldwell explained that the Learn and Serve Work Group met to craft strategy to move forward with our service-learning initiatives. MCSC will be submitting a three-year plan for Learn and Serve in Michigan to the CNCS. We have some preliminary data from RMC research on service-learning and it ' s impact on MEAP. We talked earlier about State Farm and their support of our service-learning work. They were very excited about doing recognition programs, but they also wanted to get involved deeper in service-learning, in particularly our National Youth Service Day. The MCSC will do a joint conference with the Michigan Campus Compact, the Institute on Service-Learning to be held at CMU where Tom Watkins will be speaking. The work group had given the staff a charge to move forward on some key elements that will be shared with Commissioners at the next commission meeting. 5. Federal Budget Kyle Caldwell explained that the President's FY04 budget calls for an increase to 75,000 AmeriCorps members (50,000 right now). The funding for AmeriCorps had not been introduced nor was there enough funding appropriated in the President's budget to cover the education trust shortfall so there is going to be a need to reconcile some numbers. 6. Office of the Inspector General Audit Kyle Caldwell discussed that the Office of Inspector General published its audit of Michigan for the Corporation for National and Community Service. The preliminary findings show that only 2.2% of the federal funding examined is being questioned. Staff is providing most of the documentation and working with the grantees to get the member files and other records. This is an excellent endorsement of the accounting program at the commission. 7. State of Michigan Budget Kyle Caldwell explained the importance of its state funding in order to broker the $8 million federal funding. There are other state commissions in earlier years that didn't form because they couldn't get the state funding in order to draw down the federal funding. This is a compelling case for why state funding needs to be maintained. 8 �8. State ofthe State Address Kyle Caldwell discussed the areas of the Governor's State of the State address that pertained to the MCSC and the work that we do. The Governor also called for the First Gentleman to spearhead the Mentoring Initiatives which could lead to working with the Commission. 9. Financial Statement as of January 1, 2003. Kyle Caldwell explained that a copy of the statement was included in the Commissioners information. 10. Michigan Citizen Corps Council Kyle Caldwell explained that the Michigan Citizen Corps Council was created under executive order. The idea was to marry traditional volunteer initiatives that we work on with homeland security. The council would meet Tuesday, February 11, 2003, for the first time. The Council will adopt a 3-year plan to get Citizen Corps moving in Michigan. The first item that will be addressed is a new initiative called CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Teams), which is first aid training the volunteers can engage in before First Responders arrive at the scene. Their hope is that every community will have this training in their community permanently. The second item that will be addressed will focus on other programs under the Citizen Corps umbrella including the revitalization of neighborhood watch, working with retired law enforcement and retired medical staff to work in communities as volunteers. Another concern will be that the Governor designate a Homeland Security Director, someone who will be coordinating all of the homeland security initiatives (firemen, state police, biohazard, etc). Mr. Caldwell also explained that this initiative is funded with over $500,000 from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He explained that Michigan will pilot this in eight communities across the state, and hopefully new money will come and Michigan will be able to expand in the future. This is a FEMA program that is being reorganized under the new Department of Homeland Security so the MCSC will have to wait to see where this initiative falls out in the next 6-8 months. V. New business - Russ Mawby A. Service as a Strategy White Paper Chairperson Mawby explained that this document shared with the transition team some of the areas where the work of the Commission relates to some of the 9 �priorities of the administration: mentoring, citizen engagement, learn & serve, etc. VI. Public Comment- Chairperson Mawby Commissioner Smith noted the new time and location of next meeting, which is different from the date and time at bottom ofthe agenda. The meeting will take place on May 19, 2003, at 11:00 am at the Lansing Center during the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference. Kyle Caldwell mentioned that on June 20-21, 2003, the MCSC will be in Battle Creek for the statewide service project for AmeriCorps. The MCSC will be participating in a Habitat Blitz Build and rehabilitating a park. Chairperson Mawby reminded everyone to return the Executive Director performance evaluations. Vll. Adjourn - Chairperson Mawby Commissioner Smith moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Barfield seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 1:57pm. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Performance Review of Executive Director Chairperson Mawby explained the background of the annual Performance Review of the Executive Director.

The performance review was sent out to the Commissioners in February and there was response from 21 of 25 Commissioners. With a scoring system of 1 being excellent, 5 being unsatisfactory, all of the rankings in the categories for Kyle were 1 's, which is extraordinary. In summary, Kyle was given excellent ratings from the Commissioners in all of the categories of the survey. He is viewed as an effective manager and leader with good visionary skills, excellent communications practice, and a strong commitment to the MCSC and to the principles ofvolunteerism and service. Copies of the report will go to the Executive Committee and in Kyle's personnel file. D.

Report ofMCSC Designees to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Board of Trustees Commissioner Mawby 1.

He explained that CMA is excited to work with MCSC and Mentor Michigan and is looking forward to working with Dan Mulhern. He also explained that there are 27 Communities ofPromise working to make sure that Volunteer Centers ofMichigan and Michigan Campus Compact are working closely with the Communities of Promise. He met with Virgil Carr to design a way to bring Detroit /SE Michigan and outstate Michigan together. CMA has designed a plan to have a person from Virgil's staffbe involved with the CMA staff in Lansing and are working with the Kresge Foundation to have a presence in Detroit. Lore also explained that they are within $600,000 of their $20 million fundraising goal. CMA has a commitment from Dottie Johnson and Bill Richardson to approach private, independent foundations that have not contributed so far. CMA made a formal request with the Kresge Foundation for a deadline extension from June 1, 2003 to December 31 , 2003, for the deadline match. CMA feels strongly that the extension will be allowed due to the administration change and the economy. Chairperson Mawby called for a break to attend the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Luncheon at the Lansing Center. Chairperson Mawby asked for a motion to recess. Commissioner O'Day motioned to recess for lunch, Commissioner Garnepudi seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously and the Commissioners recessed for lunch at 11 :40 am. The meeting reconvened at 1:50pm. The new chairperson, Dan Mulhern, gave welcome remarks and asked Kyle Caldwell to give the Executive Director's Report. IV. Executive Director' s Report- Kyle Caldwell A. AmeriCorps 1. Guest Speakers Lenny Compton and Belinda Weber Kyle Caldwell introduced AmeriCorps members as guest speakers Lenny Compton and Belinda Weber shared their experiences with AmeriCorps. Lenny Compton explained that he finished with AmeriCorps Oakland in early January. Their program serves Pontiac and has 40 members in 7 sites. He because involved in AmeriCorps through a friend. Lenny served 5 �parti-time (900 hours) in two years and felt that the program was invaluable. He felt that with AmeriCorps you are able to make an impression. Lenny works at PATH which is a homeless shelter for women and the AmeriCorps members work with the children. They've been able to teach about educational and environmental issues. Lenny also discussed his concern that AmeriCorps members are not able to solicit support for AmeriCorps and felt that if things are not done financially, that a great program like this will dissolve. Belinda Weber explained that she works at Success by Six in Branch County (Coldwater area) and they have several agencies under their umbrella, one being AmeriCorps. Their goal is that every child prenatal to age 6 will be healthy and ready to learn. There is a high-risk of teenage pregnancies in their area. Belinda is working with teenage moms at an alternative high school to guide them toward opportunities that are available to them to help keep them in school. They conduct home visits to the families weekly and biweekly, conduct playgroups which provides child development and parent educational activities, and community awareness activities. Belinda is also working in her community to increase awareness about the AmeriCorps programs. Chairperson Mawby asked Lenny Compton whether mentoring would be important to the children he works with at PATH. Lenny explained that mentoring would be very important to these children as many of them come from unstable households and they need someone with stability. He also shared his experience with mentoring two boys that he calls his "brothers" and the successes they have accomplished due to their relationship with Lenny. Both Lenny and Belinda explained they became involved with volunteering as children. Commissioner Kwak asked for the guidelines for "lobbying" or contacting policy makers regarding AmeriCorps. Kyle Caldwell explained that AmeriCorps members are not allowed to lobby or to be involved with fundraising. In addition there is a certain unwritten law that AmeriCorps members should not be in the position of educating or appearing to lobby. As a citizen outside of the program, Lenny is empowered to do whatever he wants in the name of AmeriCorps. Belinda is constrained, though, because she is currently an active member. What the MCSC tries to do is to put policy makers in front of people who are serving. Commissioners can do whatever they want, they can lobby, they can tell policy makers exactly what is needed and use stories like Lenny's and Belinda's as examples ofhow AmeriCorps works. 6 �Carol Ann Ketelsen, Director of the Oakland University AmeriCorps Program, explained that they utilize Lenny and other former members to help with fundraising. But the Program Directors don't have much experience in fundraising. The former members have ideas for golf outings, etc., but the program directors cannot plan them alone, and they cannot use current members. Their program is one ofthe older programs so they are at the 100% funding level where they are suppose to meet everything but their member support costs on their own. The other challenge they have is that Oakland University has been a major funder in their program, but like everyone, they are going through cuts and so they have to find the money somewhere else. AmeriCorps Oakland has seven sites. Their members work in teams in schools, churches and community centers. Commissioner O'Day pointed out that Lenny made a good point about people viewing AmeriCorps as a successful program. 2. Signature Service Project Kyle Caldwell made a special invitation to the Commissioners to participate in the Signature Service Project on June 20-21 and explained the project would consist of working with Habitat for Humanity to build four houses and to landscape homes and parks in the neighborhood. 3. National Outlook Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC has submitted a competitive application that was one of $240 million in requests that went forward to the Corporation with $50 million available and awaiting notification. For those that are new Mr. Caldwell explained the state AmeriCorps funding process. First we submit our competitive applications, and whatever is not accepted, we re-strategize and look at what we want to put into our formula applications for funding. The enrollment crisis at the national level is not over. We continue to struggle with the budget. Mr. Caldwell explained the shortfall in the educational award trust which started at $100 million, another $64 million was added due to accounting errors. What is holding everything up now is that the President had offered some relief, but now that is being held up because the accountants and the auditors can't agree on what process is being used to count education awards. In the fall we are going to have the same situation as last year where we may have programming funding but may not be able to enroll anyone who wants to get an education award. Mr. Caldwell detailed that holding firm to three messages was important: • AmeriCorps is working, • Michigan's systems are sound, we are exemplary among state commissions and among members we are enrolling. • We should not bare the brunt of the burden of the accounting errors at the national level. 7 �Commissioner Pellegrino suggested that the Commissioners could use their resources to help to coordinate an effort to get the message out. Commissioner O'Day asked ifthere has ever been a fundraising program. Kyle Caldwell responded no. Commissioner Pickard mentioned that she is involved in social organizations that participate in fundraising events. They are looking for opportunities to use the money for good uses. There are so many of these organizations in our communities and we're all trying to make a difference but it is so fragmented that it's hard to see a difference. If we could pull together all of these different organizations to make a commitment it would make a big difference. B. Service-Learning Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC is aggressively going after more servicelearning funding at the federal level through the Corporation -- working with the Department of Education and with the Council of Michigan Foundations' Learning to Give. Staff is focusing on moving the agenda forward and moving out after the institutions that are bringing in new teachers and working with Learning to Give as a tool to promote service-learning. Learning To Give is going to examine the lessons they have on philanthropy that cut across the standards from the MEAP and see where they can tighten up on service-learning and make their program more of a service-learning tool. Staff is also working with the key partnerships in working with local districts to infuse service-learning policy. Staff submitted one application for competitive funding and will be going after the school-based funding and the community-based funding. There are a number of events coming up including the Institute for Service-Learning Symposium which will be June 16-17 in Lansing and will include some national speakers. Mr. Caldwell encouraged Commissioners to attend if possible. Kyle Caldwell also gave a quick update on the audit. "All indications are that we've got a clean books, clean systems and we are figuring out how to close out $1,164.00." So out of the millions of dollars MCSC received to run the programs, this is great. Staff is also going through a standards review and should be closed out soon. Kyle Caldwell also discussed that the Volunteer Investment Grant funding which is still being discussed in the State House and Senate. Kyle Caldwell explained that the MCSC has added a new staff member, Diana Algra, who will be handling the Service-Learning policy work. He also mentioned that Linda Adams and Liz Scully have left the MCSC due to their contracts being complete. V. New business - Chairperson Dan Mulhern A. American Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) -Deb Macon 8 �Deb Macon explained the Leadership Development Initiative with ASC funded by the Kellogg Foundation. The initiative is a training tool to become better Commissioners. B. Retreat Planning Committee- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern explained that he would like to continue what the Commission has been doing and continue to build the infrastructure as budgets allow. Mentor Michigan- Chairperson Mulhern stated that program will be developed through the Commission. We need to reach out statewide to bring stakeholders together to talk about mentoring and to talk about what we can do at a statewide level that supports what's happening at the local level. There are several things happening so there won't be a single method for delivering, whether it's a predelinquent program or school-based program, there are going to be a lot of vehicles. We have to decide what is the state brand of Mentor Michigan and how do we add value to that. Most likely it will be by recruiting and promoting it. Another piece will be determining standards for volunteer screening. Also, it will be important to discuss a way to track or measure results. We'll be interested in hearing from Commissioners regarding the people from their area who should be involved. Chairperson Mulhern also mentioned that as a new leader of the Commission, it will be important to revisit and clarify the vision and to discuss: • what's working; • the special mission of the Commission; • what is it that it does that no one else does; • how do we do it well; • what are the values that we want to have as a Commission; • what can we build on to do well; • develop goals for the coming year; • what is the profile of a Commissioner and who should be a Commissioner. Commissioners Smith and Oden agreed to serve on the Retreat Planning Committee. C. VI. Commission Meeting Schedule- Chairperson Mulhern Chair Mulhern mentioned that the MCSC will put out a schedule for meetings over the next two years so that we can have good attendance. Chairperson Mulhern stated that he would like to have meetings that are energized and lively. Public Comment- Chairperson Dan Mulhern 9 �Chairperson Mulhern presented a tribute from Governor Granhohn to Russ Mawby for his service as Chair of the Commission over the last few years. Commissioner Maw by thanked everyone for their support. On behalf of the Commissioners, Commissioner K wak welcomed Chairperson Mulhern to the Commission and stated that she looks forward to his leadership. Commissioner Oden mentioned that Commissioner Barfield was recognized at a conference in Nashville at a Black Enterprise Entrepeneurs Conference with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Kyle Caldwell also asked Commissioners to add May 24-25, 2004 to their schedules for the Volunteerism SuperConference and Governor's Service Awards in Grand Rapids. VII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Mawby moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 pm. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: (517) 335-4295 Fax: (517) 373-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: MCSC Commissioners FROM: Pat Ryan O'Day, MCSC Outreach Committee Co-chair Vivian Pickard, MCSC Outreach Committee Co-chair DATE: April 30, 2003 RE: MCSC Outreach Committee Report The Outreach Committee met on Wednesday, April23, 2003 at 11 :00 a.m. via conference call. The following members of the committee were present: Ken Benson, Kari Pardo, Vivian Pickard, and Pat Ryan O'Day. The following staff members were present: Kyle Caldwell and Mary Grill. Governor's Service Awards The Peer Review Committee met to select the winners and honorable mentions for the May, June, and July Governor's Service Awards. The Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award, the most prestigious Governor's Service Award will be presented at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference closing luncheon on May 20, 2003. As this event is being held in conjunction with the next MCSC meeting, commissioners attending the meeting will be participating in this celebration. The next steps in the review process, are a reference check conducted by Mary Grill and a background check conducted by the Governor's office. As the Governor's Service Awards are being awarded year round, we have to make special efforts to recruit nominations throughout the year. Committee members discussed potential ways for this recruitment to take place. Commissioner Pickard recommended that contacts be made with key television stations, radio stations, and newspapers. Commissioners Benson and Page 1 of3 �Pardo volunteered to put information in their monthly newsletters. There was also discussion about creating a public service announcement, although the cost may be prohibitive. AmeriCorps Funding Issues Kyle Caldwell discussed the impact of the AmeriCorps funding cuts for the 03-04 funding cycle. Committee members encouraged Caldwell to keep forwarding critical information to them so that they can continue communicating with elected officials. It is critical that all commissioners contact their elected officials to share their concerns about funding cuts. Caldwell will continue to provide information for commissioners and will be happy to work with commissioners individually to prepare information for them. Commissioner Site Visits In the ongoing effort to familiarize commissioners with the MCSC programs and activities, site visits are being arranged to MCSC programs. The first one is taking place on Wednesday, April 30, 2003, when Commissioners Bahadur, Macon, Pelligrino, and Pickard will visit Downriver CARES, a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. The commissioners will have the opportunity to see first-hand the services provided to the community and will be able to interact with the AmeriCorps members. Additional commissioner site visits will be arranged in the future. Other Business MCSC-News Listserv. We want individuals and organizations to receive the most up-to-date information about the MCSC's funding opportunties, programs, and activities in a cost effective manner. With this in mind, we have created the MCSC-News listserv. Any one can sign up for the listserv by visiting the MCSC web site at www.michigan.gov/mcsc and clicking on the MCSC logo in the left margin. Those signed up for the listserv will receive quarterly updates from the MCSC and notification when new funding becomes available. A flyer announcing the new listserv will be distributed to the entire MCSC database (approximately 14,000) in early May and the first "newsletter" will be shared with participants by May 23rd.

Lenny Compton, an AmeriCorps Oakland member, was invited to sit in Barbara Bush's private box during January's State of the Union Address. Mr. Compton first met President Bush when he was selected to be the volunteer to greet the President when he visited southeast Michigan in October 2002. Needless to say, this event and the resulting publicity were an exciting time for him. He appeared on several national television and radio news shows including CNN and MSNBC and was highlighted in many printed and web-based stories.

Granholm Grantmakers I Grantseekers Conference Luncheon Program May20, 2003 12:30 p.m. Lansing Center, Lansing Michigan Introduction [Introduced by Ed Blews, President, Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan and the Chair of the Michigan Nonprofit Association] Thank you, Ed, for that warm introduction. As many of you know, Ed represents a number of colleges and universities in Michigan and has been active at the Capitol. So, given all that is going on in the budget process, any friendly words from higher education are a welcome sight! [Laughter]. Standing before you today, I am reminded that it takes both resources and action to make our society work. Mother Teresa said that, "To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it." You are providing that for communities. Everyone here today understands the spirit of giving and commitment it takes to make things happen. That it is why a conference that brings together the grantrnakers with the grantseekers is so important. Each element-funders and nonprofit organizations-need the other to serve the needs of our community. You do great things . On behalf of the Citizens of Michigan, I want to thank you for helping maintain what I call the flames of engagement! Description of Awards I am also delighted to join you today to celebrate some of the keepers of that flameindividuals who represent some of our state's most giving and caring citizens. On behalf of the Michigan Community Service Commission, and the Council of Michigan Foundations, I have been asked to award the Governor Romney Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteerism and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy to individuals who have given their time, talent and treasures to others in extraordinary ways. These awards reflect the heart, soul and passions of two great Michiganians who have carried on the Michigan spirit of caring and community engagement. Governor Romney was a firm believer in the power of one individual to positively impact the lives of others. [insert personal reflections on Governor Romney] . 1 of3 �Recognition of Russ Maw by The Mawby Award is named for Dr. Russell G. Mawby who holds a particularly special place in the hearts of our family. Dan was a W.K. Kellogg Fellow while Dr. Mawby was the head of the Foundation and has admired the work of Dr. Mawby for many years. I have been fortunate to have Dr. Mawby chair the Michigan Community Service Commission and lead the work the State of Michigan is doing to promote and support volunteerism For those of you who know him, Russ is a volunteer's volunteer. He serves on numerous boards and is actively engaged in his community. He is respected by all as a true servant leader. This is also recognized by his peers on the Commission. They have asked me to announce a special token of their gratitude. Annually, the state's AmeriCorps members are called together in one community to address a local community need. This year nearly 300 AmeriCorps members will gather in Battle Creek to build four houses through Habitat for Humanity. It will be a true demonstration of the power ofvolunteerism. In recognition of this power and the exemplary example of servant leader and volunteer set by Russ Mawby, the Commission is naming this annual project the Russell G. Mawby Signature Service Project! [Applause]. For years to come, AmeriCorps members in Michigan will serve with their peers from across the state in Russ ' name. Announcement of Dan Mulhern as Chair of MCSC I am fortunate to work side-by-side with another important man-Dan Mulhern! Dan has been an unwavering supporter for our three children, and me and now has agreed to take on the challenge of helping all our state's children by spearheading Mentor Michigan. Mentor Michigan has been a positive force in the lives of 4,000 youth through the VIPP program in Detroit. Now, Dan will forward an effort to take Mentor Michigan to 10,000 youth as the next phase of Mentor Michigan ' s development. I am very grateful for Dan agreeing to take up this challenge. No one I know has done more to demonstrate how one person, caring for one child over an extended period of time, can make a difference. But I also know that Dan cannot do this alone and will need all of to help. That is why, at the invitation of its members and especially Dr. Mawby, I am announcing today that effective this afternoon, I am appointing Dan to serve as the Chair the Michigan Community Service Commission.[applause] The Commission will serve as the lead organization for Mentor Michigan in addition to its exemplary work in promoting, funding and supporting other community-based volunteer programs like AmeriCorps, service-learning and our one-of-a-kind Volunteer Investment Grants program. 2 of3 �Transition to Dan Mulhern Now that I have entrusted Mentor Michigan and the Commission in the hands of the most dedicated and sincerely person I know, I am going to ask Dan to speak to you briefly about his vision and call to serve. Dan. [Governor steps back and gestures Dan to podium] [Following Dan's remarks, the Governor and Dan will step to the center of the stage to confer the Governor George W. Romney Lifetime Achievement Award and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy] #### 3 of3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Right now, this land is filled with a twisted mess of brush and trash. On June 21st, there will be great changes! In just one day, 300 AmeriCorps members from across the state will build four new homes on this site from the ground up. These homes, complete with roofs, siding, and windows, will be constructed in just eight hours. The people living in the Washington Heights will be happy to see the ugly string of lots that has been an eyesore for years become "home" for four families . This homebuilding event is the 2003 Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state join together for a day of service. By the end of the day, projects are completed, showing members and the community the power of volunteers in action. This year's project is being organized in partnership with the Battle Creek Area Habitat for Humanity, an organization that builds affordable homes for low-income families. Other key partners working on this project are the Michigan National Guard, Michigan Department of Corrections, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's YES We Can project. 'The homes the AmeriCorps members are building in June will be more than roofs over the heads of four families. They will be the foundation by which those families will grow and gain stability. Providing that foundation is what Habitat for Humanity is all about," says Art Pearce, Battle Creek Area Habitat's Executive Director. The four houses being built on June 21st are the first step of a larger plan for Helen Montgomery Street developed by Habitat for Humanity. Eventually, there will be a total of nine houses on the block. Designs for the houses and landscaping were created by Flynn Architecture of Kalamazoo and donated to Battle Creek Habitat. This is an example of the many cost-cutting partnerships that Habitat develops in the community, making the homes they build affordable for families with low income. To see a drawing of the complete plans for Helen Montgomery Street, click here. As if building four homes weren't enough, AmeriCorps members will be taking on other projects on June 21st as well. Additional accomplishments will include building ten sheds for Habitat families in the neighborhood, creating a park that will be named after AmeriCorps, and working with community residents on a number of other projects throughout the neighborhood. Throughout the year, Michigan's AmeriCorps members make a big difference in the communities they serve, though sometimes it is hard to see the visible results. When a Signature Service Project is complete, the evidence of a great day of service is overwhelming. "AmeriCorps members do great http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0,1687,7-137--66277--,00.html 5/2/2003 �The Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project Comes to Battle Creek Page 2 of2 things everyday, but they're spread out throughout the state," says MCSC Director Kyle Caldwell. "The Signature Project combines the talent and energy of members from all over Michigan in one place, and the result is truly spectacular." Spectacular is exactly what this year's project is going to be.

Members from past years continue to volunteer for additional service projects as well as volunteering to help the program with recruiting activities. One of AmeriCorps Oakland's members from 1994-1996 received the A// AmeriCorps Leadership Award, a national acknowledgement of the leadership skills of members in the nation. AmeriCorps Oakland has provided members the opportunity to determine if their chosen degree area is appropriate by placing them in a variety of situations. Members who were Engineering or Business majors have switched to Education. Education majors have determined that education is not the best fit for them. �Members have participated in community planning and collaboration meetings to expose them to the business side of the community and non-profits. Members have received a wide range of training including CPR, conflict resolution, tutoring, working with children with learning disabilities, team building, communication skills, youth programming, diversity, leadership skills and styles, problem solving, decision making and critical thinking skills, program management, positive discipline techniques, recreational activities, reading coaches, and evaluation methods. Training is conducted on several levels including to assist member's with their own personal development for current and future growth, to teach member's how to serve the community and work with our target population and, to train member's in topics that they may train to others. Strengthening Communities: Educational activities have been provided to youth at 29 locations throughout Pontiac, including the schools, community centers and churches. Over 5,953 volunteers have participated in various capacities since the start of AmeriCorps in Pontiac. AmeriCorps Oakland members have participated in over 400 service projects during the eight-year commitment to Pontiac. Projects including raking leaves for senior citizens, reading to children in the elementary schools during African American Celebration and Hispanic Celebration Months, packing food boxes at the Food Bank of Oakland County, participating for 8 years in "Paint The Town" an annual event where low-income, disabled, and/or senior citizens have their homes painted and minor repairs completed, cleaning up city parks, delivering Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter food baskets, and working with the Pontiac Police Department for four years on their annual Harvest Festival. Members have assisted the Camp Fire Boys and Girls for the past four years with their "Pontiac City Kid Camp." Without the support and assistance of AmeriCorps the camp would not have been conducted, as Camp Fire had no funds for camp counselors since all the campers were on "scholarships." Through AmeriCorps, the partners have been able to expand their services, built capacity, and provided more activities to children. Partners have shared intangible resources such as information, networking contacts and ideas and tangible resources such as supplies, materials, programming, vehicles, and volunteers, i.e., partners have given event ticket passes, books, and art supplies to locations that do not have these items. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
