Executive Committee - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the January 23 , 2004 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they approved the agenda for the February 9, 2004, MCSC Board Meeting and staff recommendations for funding for Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps Proposal. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated January 20, 2004, outlined the proposal. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee's actions. Commissioner Collier moved to approved the motion and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner Pickard Commissioner Pickard welcomed the new Commissioners to the Committee (Comer, Pellegrino and Young-Welch). She stated that there were two sponsors for the Governor Service Awards (GSA), General Motors and Lear Corporation, in the amount $10,000 each and that the committee is actively soliciting others. The goal this year is $60,000. As a means to generate additional dollars for the GSA, the committee has developed a corporate solicitation package where the corporations are offered special opportunities this year that have not been offered before. The sponsors will be able to stand on the stage with the Governor and First Gentleman and present the awards. In addition, the $10,000 supporters will also have the opportunity to have one representative seated at the table with the Governor and First Gentleman. Also one of the awards will be presented on behalf of the corporation. Letters have been sent out to solicit additional 2 �sponsors. She also requested, on behalf of the Outreach Committee, that each Commissioner, if possible, sponsor a table for $1000 or to find someone to sponsor a table. It was suggested that the Commissioner could team up with someone to sponsor a table. A media campaign is also being developed to promote the GSA. Chairperson Mulhern thanked Commissioner Comer for Lear Corporation's support of Governor's Service Awards and also the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign. He also thanked Commissioner Pickard for GM's support for GSA. Commissioner Comer mentioned that it would be helpful to help fill tables of those sponsors that aren't able to make it to the GSA ceremony. Commissioner K wak suggested donating those tables to some of the award finalists and their organizations. Commissioner Pickard stated that the sponsorship packets will be given out to the Commissioners. Commissioner Parker asked if there was going to be a mentoring award. Commissioner Pickard stated that the mentoring award will be sponsored by Lear and Mentor Michigan will be highlighted. Chairperson Mulhern mentioned that it was discussed at the last meeting whether to roll Mentor Michigan fimdraising into GSA fundraising but it was agreed to split them. Commissioner Bunn stated that there are some organizations that she knows that would be interested in the mentoring piece and asked if there was a way to designate whatever is left over from their GSA contribution to use towards mentoring activities. Chairperson Mulhern answered that they could. C. Report of ConnectMichigan Alliance- John Lore Dr. Lore shared an overview of new initiatives. They just finished the Michigan Campus Compact Institute. Brian O'Connell was a speaker at the Institute. The Michigan Civics Summit will begin on Tuesday, February 12, and will hold a conference in December. They are also working on a Mentor Michigan VISTA program along with the Volunteer Centers. He announced that his assistant, Kate Powers, would be leaving on February 17. He thanked Commissioner Comer for Lear's $20,000 contribution, and shared that he was in constant contact with Mr. Comer because he didn't want Lear to commit to more than was needed so that they could also sponsor GSA. The final amount raised was $10,051,000 due to last minute gifts from several organizations. He thanked Commissioners Pickard and Kwak for their help in accomplishing the goal. 3 �IV. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell A. MCSC 2004 Goals Mr. Caldwell reviewed the annual goals that were established after the 2003 Commissioner Retreat. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated February 9, 2004, was handed out to the Commissioners outlining the progress on the goals. The big goal was to integrate Mentor Michigan into MCSC programming by examining the role of national service programs, utilizing and focusing staff on developing Mentor Michigan and aligning our programs to highlight mentoring. With regard to examining the role of national service, ArneriCorps priorities have been realigned to stress mentoring (5 out of 19 programs) and the MCSC has brokered a partnership with CNCS Michigan and CMA for an AmeriCorps*VIST A program which will set forth an infrastructure for mentoring. Mr. Caldwell commented on the great relationship that MCSC has with CNCS Michigan which is not always the case in other states. Mr. Caldwell also stated that focusing staff on the issue is critical. Paula Kaiser, Mary Grill, Joan Bowman and Mary Zatina have done a tremendous job to advance Mentor Michigan. But they all have "day jobs" so it will be critical to look at how Mentor Michigan is staffed more permanently and will be addressed in the plan that will be put forth when soliciting support. Looking at the other MCSC programs and highlighting mentoring, the Governor's Service Awards has a mentoring category, as well as mentoring activity has been added to the Volunteer Investment Grants program. The MCSC needs to look at Learn and Serve and Citizen Corps to see how to integrate Mentor Michigan into those programs. The funding and application for Learn and Serve had already taken place so mentoring was not yet a priority, but the MCSC will be looking at that stream in the future. Mentoring programs will also be pushed for Citizen Corps. Mentor Michigan: The big goal is 10,000 mentors. The MCSC is beginning to formulate a plan to reach the goal for this year which is 2,000 mentors. Other goals are to begin to assess the needs of communities, develop an awareness campaign, gather practioners to advise, and gamer resources to support the efforts. The progress to date in terms of developing a long-range plan includes a planning meeting ofMCSC and First Gentleman' s staff, feedbacks from the summits, VISTA project, and Mentor Partnership. As far as assessing the needs of the communities, over 1,000 people attended the six summits last fall where they articulated the 5 top priority areas out of the 10 that will be focused on. A study was conducted for interests and information by the web. That information was analyzed by Kale Research Solutions and found that there are currently over 17,000 mentor matches, most ages 5-18 years old, and over 2,600 are on waiting lists. An awareness campaign was developed which included Mentor Month activities. The MCSC is working to gamer practioners to advise on the plan development process. The Mentor Michigan listserve has been unveiled. The ground work has been laid in gaining support for resources. There was a meeting 4 �with the Hudson Webber Foundation and an upcoming meeting with W.K. Kellogg Foundation to talk about how to make the approaches to philanthropic communities. The feedback from foundations on the comprehensive resource development plan has helped the MCSC put together what should be looked at to make the best approach. This should be done by the time the MCSC meets in the spring. The next steps include putting the plan together, establishing a staffing plan, garnering funding, developing networks, and putting together research and evaluation tools to keep the 10,000 tally fresh and current. Michigan's AmeriCorps: There were five goals that included securing increased levels of funding, encouraging new grantees towards mentor, getting the numbers back up, maintaining program support and broadening the exposure of our efforts. As far as increased levels of funding, the MCSC was able to secure $200 million for AmeriCorps for the upcoming program year. The MCSC also aligned existing grantees towards mentoring by giving it a priority, increased the number of programs by 25%, received a $3 million allocation for formula funds, and increased funding for programs by 43% from 2003 levels. But there is still work to do because the current increase is still 21% lower than 2002. There were some staffing changes in AmeriCorps by replacing a program officer vacancy with Andy Younger, which allowed the program officer/program ratio to remain the same, and have continued the events and trainings that were scheduled. The MCSC is still in process of putting together high impact site visits to the field that help the Commission, field and organization. Next steps include continuing to focus on national issues, focusing on competitive funding and examining quality issues. As the MCSC Chair mentioned, Michigan has an excellent plan, in fact it's the model for the nation, for how to do oversight, how to do the mechanics of a great AmeriCorps program and how to support them. What is not known is the answer to the question: What does the best AmeriCorps program in the nation look like, how does it work, what does it focus on, and what does it use to sustain itself? So one of the charges that Chairperson Mulhern has made is to talk to the field and figure this question out because the answer to this will be important, especially as money becomes tight. Citizen Corps: The four goals include tripling the number of councils, working with existing and new councils to expand their programs, establishing CERT academy, and quadrupling the number ofCERT trainers. The MCSC/Michigan Citizen Corps started out with 13 councils, with a goal of 39, and are now at 23 to date, which is a 77% growth rate for the year. The MCSC is working with the Medical Reserve Corps, the VIPS program, Neighborhood Watch and Michigan ' s Surgeon General to focus on how to get the medical community involved. There have been two CERT training academies so 5 �far. Michigan has the nation' s only tribal CERT Train-the-Trainer program and is seeking partnerships with community colleges. There are over 100 CERT trainers, but the goal is to have 200 by the end of the year. Next steps include increasing the number of councils, formalizing the CERT training and getting it into institutions. The Governor has given us the charge to train 15,000 citizens by the end of the year. Volunteer Investment Grants: There are four goals which include aligning towards mentoring, re-acquiring funds for grant making, developing partnerships with corporate and philanthropic communities and establishing a data collection and research system. With regards to aligning the grant making around mentoring, it is accomplished as it was made a priority this year and is receiving great response. But when you look at the other goals, you have to look at where the Governor's budget will fall and then gage the Legislature's response. The MCSC will continue to work with current grantees to focus on those partnerships. Learn and Serve: There were six goals that include broadening the leadership and dialogue, securing increased levels of funding, developing innovated partnerships, securing and disseminating research, developing a resource library, and developing a recognition program. Representative Hart approached the MCSC to help host hearings on servicelearning and the hearings went very smoothly. The MCSC is seeking a grant for Learn and Serve Homeland Security funding that focuses on kids. As far as innovative partnerships, the MCSC is seeking alignment with Governor Granholm's MERIT Award service requirement and also convening and supporting Service Learning Youth Council (SLYC). In regards to securing and disseminating research on efficacy, RMC Research findings on service learning and MEAP will be received in March. As far as we know, no one in the country is doing this kind of research so even if findings are not significant, it is ground breaking just in the fact that Michigan has done it. The resource library is always in process and will continue to grow. A recognition program took place in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact at the Dorothy Johnson Center for Philanthropy Reception and Annual Awards Ceremony. Next steps are to determine action plan for Homeland Security partnership and to expand the leadership partners to include education associations. Governor Services Awards: The goals include increasing the number of nominations, hosting a statewide recognition event with the Governor and First Gentleman, defraying costs with private sector support, securing media partners and broadening support for GSA. 6 �The deadline for nominations has been extended to February 27. Commissioner Pickard asked whether nomination forms had been sent out to the ConnectMichigan partners and Mr. Caldwell replied that they had. Commissioner Pickard also asked whether it was too late to recognize mentoring on a higher level and also try to get more entities involved. Is there a possibility to have four awards under the mentoring category that would include individual mentoring award, nonprofit mentoring award, corporate mentoring award, and organization mentoring award. Therefore you would highlight more of the recognition that we are trying to make a difference with mentoring. Commissioner Comer mentioned that Lear Corporation committed to three-year sponsorship and to challenge the other corporations to do the same. That would create a corporate rivalry of who could do more in the mentoring sector. Mr. Caldwell replied that the MCSC will look at what's feasible for adding to this year's mentoring category and expand next year's mentoring category. It may also be folded into fundraiser for GSA and Mentor Michigan. Back to GSA goals, Mr. Caldwell stated that this will be the first recognition program with the Governor and First Gentleman and will be held during the Michigan Volunteerism SuperConference. He discussed that there is currently $20,000 raised for GSA and will continue working towards the goal of $60,000. As far as broadening support for GSA, Suzanne Geha, anchor from WOOD TV 8 in Grand Rapids, will be emceeing the GSA event. She is also a very close friend to Diana Sieger, Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, and they have both said they would discuss helping MCSC expand the event and make linkages to both the media and philanthropic community. The next steps include continuing to solicit applications, aggressively pursue sponsorships, focus on the GSA program and continue to have dialogue with philanthropic organizations. Also, the new goal of expanding the mentoring category. B. Special Guest - Representative Doug Hart Chairperson Mulhern introduced Representative Doug Hart. Representative Hart commented on the hearings the House Subcommittee on Service-Learning and Civic Education held last fall. Service-Learning is about making education relevant and the most powerful way to build civic society. It engenders commitments to one's community through developing habits of giving. Everyone is a winner with service-learning. Representative Brian Palmer inaugurated this committee and asked that they gather information. They wanted to use the committee to educate legislators . There were several hearings throughout the state and there were quite a range of indi victuals that testified. He mentioned that there may be a blue-ribbon panel established to move the conversation forward. He also supports the Governors State of the State proposal to create a service 7 �requirement in the MEAP scholarship. Another area to be considered is creating a panel that looks into issues specific to the Governor's recommendations (i.e., how do you prepare communities and teachers, what sorts of organizations should take the lead in this type of effort). He feels that the subcommittee accomplished what they wanted to accomplish but couldn't have done it without the help of the MCSC. He also stated that he feels that the "white paper" that the MCSC has developed will be helpful to legislators in Michigan but also to policy makers across the country. What the MCSC has created is a model of gathering information and making sense out of the various service-learning policy areas. A document was handed out that outlined the subcommittee's recommendations. Commissioner Watkins commended Representative Hart on his efforts regarding education and service-learning. He also stated that the MERIT portion of the recommendations and 40 hours of community service are very important. It will be taken up under the MERIT awards and it will be very valuable to the work that the subcommittee did and perhaps reflection from this group to take recommendations to the MERIT board. Also, Mr. Watkins asked how do we do this so we can engage young people without creating another bureaucratic process to document and take up a lot of time that the teachers and administrators don't have? There is a lot of knowledge in this room and the work that the subcommittee did may be able to help set guidelines. Commissioner Parker stated his concern that as the subcommittee continues, that they recognize that the MCSC can help with the direction. Chairperson Mulhern asked Representative Hart if there was one thing that stood out from the hearings. Representative Hart said he was struck by the passion of those that presented and testified at the hearings and that it is the heart of servicelearning. Mr. Caldwell went through the seven recommendations from the hearings: include social studies in the MERIT award; utilize existing resources and partnerships; support public education; provide states with more resources; invest in sound, rigorous research; support teachers' professional development; and support meaningful decision making roles for youth. Commissioner Kwak shared that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funds servicelearning on a national level and feels that the actions that the subcommittee has taken will provide a model for other states. C. MCSC Budget- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell went over the budget that was passed out to Commissioners. He also announced that the Federal CNCS audit is finally closed out was a "clean" audit. 8 �D. V. Michigan Citizen Corps - Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell gave an update on Michigan Citizen Corps and explained the grant applications that have been received. By the end of the year there should be $1.3 million in funding that the MCSC will be managing. Mentor Michigan - Chairperson Mulhern A. Chairperson Mulhern shared some of the results of the survey that was conducted on mentoring by Kale Research Solutions, Inc. He pointed out one of the facts that states that 99% of individuals who mentor through formal mentoring programs recommend it to others. He discussed his thoughts on how to have a message that will stick in peoples minds about mentoring and shared a quote from a gentleman that sent an email: " Mentor Michigan can change two lives at a time." He also gave an overview of activities from National Mentoring Month including public service announcements, billboards, print ads, a tool kit on the Mentor Michigan web site and Mentor Michigan Sundays B. Next Steps- Paula Kaiser explained the ConnectMichigan Alliance VISTA program that will focus on Mentor Michigan. There will be 25 members that will be placed in teams of 3-5 around the state. They will be working on local infrastructure issues that were identified from the summits. The five areas they will focus on will be: identifying and securing resources to support and sustain mentoring; helping to recruit mentors- each VISTA will be responsible for recruiting 100 mentors so by the end of the year there will be 2500 mentors recruited just through the VISTA program; balancing and enhancing partnerships with business, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, education institutions, and government; increasing public awareness; and providing training and support for local mentoring programs. The VISTAs won't be placed in any one organization to benefit that organization, but to help benefit mentoring across the entire community. This should develop local mentoring collaborative and talk about how the organizations will share these 3-5 individuals to address the five areas. The program should be able to fund 6-7 communities depending on how many members are placed in each community. They should be able to develop some infrastructure for mentoring in those communities. In addition, quarterly extensive training will be provided to the 25 VISTA members so that they can take that back to their community. The members should be in place by late July. Mary Pfeiler pointed out that the program will focus on communities and children most in need. They will strongly encourage each collaborative to address the needs of the schools that are not meeting adequate yearly progress. Areas of focus are Saginaw, Flint, Detroit, Lansing, Benton Harbor but it is also open to collaboratives from around the state. Commissioners Young-Welch, Pickard, Comer and Smith shared the mentoring initiatives they/their organizations are doing. Commissioner Swain shared information on a 5-day mentoring/leadership conference for those with disabilities that will take place in June. 9 �VI. New business - Chairperson Dan Mulhern A. VII. Visit by David Eisner, CEO of CNCS Mr. Caldwell stated that David Eisner will be speaking at the MCSC Board Meeting on May 24th and at the Volunteer SuperConference on May 25th. He will also be doing site visits, attending the Governor Service Awards and meeting with foundations, nonprofits and Commissioners. Public Comment - Chairperson Dan Mulhern Commissioner Pardoe thanked the MCSC staff for their help during the Service-Learning Conference. Chairperson Mulhern reminded Commissioners ofthe $1 ,000 sponsorships for GSA and to get involved with Mentor Michigan. VIII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Newport moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 2:50pm. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:14 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. II. Comments by David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service Chairperson Mulhern introduced David Eisner. Mr. Eisner sta1ied out by sharing that since he began with the Corporation, Kyle Caldwell has been a tremendous advisor to him. He has been with the Corporation for four months but was waiting to be confirmed by the Senate for seven months, which was during the AmeriCorps pause. He is happy to report that coming out of what some might call a "crisis year", there is a lot of good news this year. This year has the largest funding increase that AmeriCorps has ever witnessed and also funding increases in Senior Corps and Learn and Serve. Mr. Eisner noted that it's not all funding news. There is stronger bipartisan support in Congress than ever before, greater public awareness, and Governors of every state submitted strong letters of support for AmeriCorps. This is in part due to all the program has accomplished in the last ten years. It has accomplished so much good in so many communities and when it looked like the program was threatened, those accomplishments came to the forefront. Mr. Eisner shared that the Corporation's goal will be to capture the momentum and build it to a strong future to cement the awareness, the bipartisan support, the state support, and grow on the foundation of that level of support and goodwill. Mr. Eisner noted that even in the absence of a crisis, a lot of folks will tell you is not easy to do. He said the Corporation has to do this in a challenging environment. At the same time that there is a lot of new funding, Congress left the Corporation with a lot of new things that have to get done. The Corporation has to do a much better job on the accountability issues, performance of management, compliance and reporting, rulemaking for AmeriCorps programs, and has to do this with a substantial cut in operational resources. So the Corporation is giving 50% more dollars and doing more overseeing and monitoring of those dollars with less operational capacity as an organization. There are a couple of long-term solutions. One is the Corporation has to do more with less. The second is that the Corporation will need to tum more to state commissions. Certainly with the AmeriCorps program, commissions are what make the programs run. He stated that they have solved the operational shortfall by eliminating some full-time staff equivalents and some tough priority setting. 2 �One of the fascinating phenomenons when you look at AmeriCorps is there is actually more money but it's more competitive this year. Out of every ten state competitive applications, the Corporation is saying yes to four. This is also the same for dollars and slots (four often). Which overall is good news. It will end up pushing the quality of the program higher and taking some of the pressure off the challenge in the national debate to prove the importance of AmeriCorps. One of things that led the Corporation to where they are now around accountability is this feeling that there was no performance. So this means high performance will be rewarded. He also shared that Governor Granholm has set a best practice (which only a few states have done) which is to bring the capacity of volunteering and national service and other social oriented programs to deliver in a couple of well-defined areas . The focus on mentoring and early reading is exactly the right scope. It's broad enough to include a lot of different program areas yet narrow enough to make a meaningful difference. The Corporation wants to do everything they can to support states that are making smart choices like that and to make assets available for those states. States that are able to articulate those priorities will have a competitive advantage. He congratulated Michigan for doing this. Mr. Eisner also congratulated the Commission on its collaboration and relationship with the CNCS 's state office. With the Unified State Plan complete, Michigan is one of the top five states. Michigan has integrated the staff CNCS office with the Commission, and also unlike many states, it has also integrated volunteer centers into both the planning process and how it looks at service around the state and Michigan also further integrated education foundations. These four units are working in alignment with your office which bodes well for the future in Michigan and he wishes he could find a way to duplicate that across the country. Chairman Mulhern turned the conversation over to Q&A. Jocelyn Yanda asked ifthere was one thing Mr. Eisner would like to get done right now what would that be? Mr. Eisner responded by saying he would like to establish a better set of feedback mechanisms. Russ Mawby asked what Mr. Eisner thought was the role of the state commissions, what commissions should be like in the future, and what were his expectations of commissions in the mission of the Corporation? Mr. Eisner stated that an interesting challenge within states is the diversity of opportunities and needs . Another is how do you create enough flexibility that a commission that knows what it's doing is able to proactively assert its state in general. They're able to harness resources in a way that most states can' t and empower to make the kind of funding decisions that could never be done as well in a centralized way. At the same time you build systems that don' t punish the 3 �medium states for not having a commission that reports that voice out. Mr. Eisner sees a future where virtually all funding decisions will be made at the commission level. There is then a series of operational questions. One of the best incentives that we have for commissions to continue to strive and do well is the inherent competition between the commissions for the competitive grants. The bigger states (TX, FL, CA, NY) are lobbying the Corporation to basicall y to do away with state competitive awards and leave it all under fommla. The big states would then get the bulk of the money. But there are some real gems in some of the smaller states and they are receiving a lot more competitive dollars because they are doing incredibly innovative high performing programs. Mr. Eisner said he is going to propose next year that states be required to rank their submissions to the Corporation. If the Corporation knows which ones the states like in a rank order, when they come out of the peer review, they can place a high level of priority to those at the top of the list. It's going to be tough for the commissions because they are going to have to choose but it's better for the commissions to do it than the Corporation. Commissioners Parker, O'Day and Newport all agreed with this plan. Conunissioner Al Swain asked Mr. Eisner if there is some sort of national information sharing around collaboration and best practices that other commissions might use as examples or ideas? Mr. Eisner answered by saying the Corporation's strategy so far has been to let the commissioners do the work through (American Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) and Technical Assist to State Commissions (T ASC). The Corporation has to do a better job of capturing the information and publishing it. The goal at the Corporation should be to facilitate the commissions coming together to share information and develop peer networks. There then needs to be a productive discussion with commissioners about such issues as what to research. Commissioner Bensen shared his experience with working with the AmeriCorps program and his appreciation for the volunteers that come from the program. Mr. Eisner shared a statistic that 450 members of habitat will manage, train and supervise 150,000 volunteers. That is amazing leverage. Mr. Eisner stated that the Corporation has to do a better job of identifying risk but also not being prejudice to an organization. Any proposal should have some programs that are risky and some that aren't. The Corporation needs to figure out a way to help state commissions identify where the risks are in a way that doesn 't turn the Corporation into nay-sayers. Ultimately, the programs that are risky are the ones that the Corporation needs to make themselves available for technical assistance, stronger auditing, more compliance, and oversight with the goal of trying to increase their possibility. He also shared that he didn 't think they were having meaningful dialogue with state commissions about where the risks are and how they can better provide resources and work with commissions on their resources. 4 �Mr. Eisner discussed the rulemaking process and stated that the Corporation is in the final stages of submitting the rules to OMB. There is going to be change but that it will be manageable, fair, equitable, and designed to grow the program by ensuring more resources. This will get more AmeriCorps members into more communities. There is also an active role from grantees that are able to give up more costs. The Corporation will also ask the state commissions to do their own sustainability policies. A lot of different pieces of rulemaking were addressed. Mr. Eisner thinks the thing that' s going to cause the most issues is around sustainability. Mr. Eisner felt there were two pressing arguments in rulemaking. One is what about the small organizations that may not be able to do what you're asking. The second is it doesn't matter if these rules are reasonable or not, it is just one slice of the salami, this is the first step. If we don't face this issue right now, next year we'll face a much tougher situation. The goal of rulemaking is to take these issues off the table. So we're not every year fighting for our lives with the appropriations bill and these policies. From the point of view of the Corporation, the White House and the view of many folks in Congress, this proposal will be what meets to the reforms requested. Mr. Eisner stated that he was not aware of a commission that has as much talent and as focused to the task at hand as Michigan. He also conunended the board participation and said that other conunissions don't have this kind of participation. He shared that he is interested in the Commission's committee structure. III. Review and Approval of February 9, 2004 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 9, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Young-Welch seconded the motion. A change will be made to the list of Commissioners present to include Tom Watkins. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee - Chairperson Mulhern 1. Review Executive Committee Report Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes ofthe March 17, 2004 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they approved the agenda for the May 24, 2004, MCSC Board Meeting, staff recommendations for funding the 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application and staff recommendations for 2003 CERT Funding. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated March 18, 2004, outlined the proposals. Chairperson Mulhern gave background on the tlu·ee areas of the competitive application (new, 5 �renewal, and formula submitted as competitive). He suggested that the Commission might want to establish a "Programmatic Review Committee". If the Corporation changes to a ranking system for applications, we may need to be better educated about the programs and how to rank them. Chairperson Mulhern also suggested that the Commissioners should familiarize themselves with the programs should the time come that the programs need to be ranked. Commissioner Parker asked if the staff currently ranks the AmeriCorps programs. Mr. Caldwell responded by saying that the staff does rank the programs internally but that it is not publicized. Chairperson Mulhern shared that it would be useful for the Commissioners to know who is getting funded and who is not and possibly some historical information. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee's actions for funding the 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application and the 2003 CERT Funding. Commissioner Smith moved to approved the motion and Commissioner Comer seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Executive Director Performance Review Process Chairperson Mulhern explained that the Executive Director's performance review will be rolled into the state's new review process and will take place in October. B. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner Pickard Commissioner Pickard shared that the fundraising goal of $100,000 for the Governor's Service Awards has been met and thanked everyone for helping reach that goal. Commissioner Swain suggested that the letters requesting sponsorships be sent out earlier than January. Mary Grill gave an overview ofthe Governor's Service Awards dinner and ceremony which will take place this evening. C. Board Development- Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked Commissioners their thoughts on what the Commission should be looking at for new Commissioners (strengths, attributes, connections). Suggestions included mentor expert, John Lore, AmeriCorps alumni, higher education, youth, connection to corporation (Ford, GM, Chrysler), UAW/Union, media representative, faith based, senior programs, and term limited legislators (Rep. Doug Hart). 6 �D. Citizen Corps -Kyle Caldwell Kyle Caldwell gave a briefupdate on Citizen Corps. He discussed the Citizen Corps funding that was approved by both the Citizen Corps Council and the MCSC Executive Committee. A chart that was included in Commissioners packets shows the distribution of funding. The future strategy is to employ risk in the grant making. Currently it is done on a competitive basis but we need to now look at population density, community risk, and all other factors to move forward with future funding. In order to receive these federal funds, Michigan Citizen Corps had to agree to tum them around in 45 days. So the fastest system we could install was the competitive process. The integrity of the money and what the grantees are doing is sound. "But, looking at the map, you probably wouldn't put these grants where they are based on density but based on the risk." If you look at what they're doing, they're all doing work that is very valuable and necessary. The Governor gave the MCSC/Michigan Citizen Corps a charge to engage and train 15,000 citizens in CERT by the end of the year. Gary Zulinski shared that there are currently 38 Citizen Corps Councils across the state. The Detroit Citizen Corps Council is conducting CERT training in the salt mines and in their local neighborhoods. There is now a council established in each of the eight regions of the state. On the federal level, there is a new program that just started so there are five programs under Citizen Corps (CERT, Neighborhood Watch, VIPS, the new Fire Corps Program, and Medical Reserve Corps). E. Report ofCmmectMichigan Alliance- Kyle Caldwell (for John Lore) Mr. Caldwell explained that the Commissioners received a list of all those who supported the CMA endowment campaign and thanked everyone for their support in reaching the goal. V. Executive Directors Report -Kyle Caldwell A. MCSC Goals and update on Mentor Michigan Mr. Caldwell gave an update on the MCSC goals that were established at the September 2003 MCSC board retreat. A full report was distributed to the Conm1issioners and Mr. Caldwell gave a brief summary. The first major piece of progress regarding Mentor Michigan is a partnership with CNCS for a VISTA program that will focus solely on Mentor Michigan and will work in 10 communities across the state. There 7 �will be 25 members, each charged with recruiting 100 mentors. We hope over the course of three years that they will recruit 7,500 mentor matches through this program. This program is significant because it puts groups on the ground working on Mentor Michigan. The MCSC will work with the ConnectMichigan Alliance, who is the grantor, to get information on what this group is doing. They'll be doing capacity building along with recruitment. It's the first group in the field to get Mentor Michigan up and runmng. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is working with two foundations (Kellogg Foundation and Hudson Webber Foundation) to put resomces into the Mentor Michigan initiative. Chairperson Mulhern met with the Kellogg Foundation and discussed the areas ofphilanthropy/volunteerism and youth/education. They have agreed to entertain a proposal from the MCSC. The Commission is looking at a August or September window for that proposal. The MCSC is also working with the Hudson Webber Foundation. They are very excited about looking at recruitment systems and working with Mentor Michigan in Southeast Michigan. The MCSC is going to look at the Mott Foundation, which currently funds the National Mentoring Partnership. The MCSC is also working to develop tracking tools with Greg Roberts from the Governor's Office of Community and Faith Based Initiatives. The Commission is working to put together a data collection system and Mr. Caldwell explained a funnel tracking system that is being developed. The next steps regarding Mentor Michigan will be to develop a tracking system, gamer resources, tighten up communication and coordination and communicate with our stakeholders. Mr. Caldwell discussed the goals for AmeriCorps were to increase/restore the number of AmeriCorps programs, maintain the program support and broaden exposure of program efforts. The MCSC will hear from the CNCS in early summer as to what programs will be funded. The MCSC lost two programs (Oakland University and Branch ISD). Both were going to have issues with the increased match. Mr. Caldwell stated that MCSC would like to increase the AmeriCorps funding to $6 million (we are currently just under $3 million) . Ideally if you look at our size, we're still at an average to above average size portfolio. CNCS rulemaking could impact om funding. Mr. Caldwell explained the Unemployment Insurance Requirement relating to AmeriCorps members. Due to a lawsuit, AmeriCorps programs were recently required to pay for unemployment insurance for members. Representative Caswell has enrolled HB 5598 which states that AmeriCorps members are not eligible for unemployment. 8 �The next steps for AmeriCorps include examining quality issues to determine what makes a high quality program. The MCSC is examining Texas which has quality standards that determine high quality, medium quality and low quality programs to see ifthere is a way to apply them in Michigan. The MCSC is preparing a number of new AmeriCorps grantees with training grants to work with those programs to see what they need. This will be used as a learning tool on how to start new programs. Mr. Caldwell shared the goals for Michigan Citizen Corps which was to triple the number of councils (which has been filled), work with existing and new councils to include all Citizen Corps programs, establish a CERT academy and quadruple the number of CERT trainers. There are currently 39 Citizen Corps Councils. There has been $782,400 granted out to the councils. The next steps will be to train and count the number of citizens who are trained in CERT, increase the number of cmmcils, and to examine grant distribution on performance, risk factors and geographic distribution. Mr. Caldwell explained the goal for Volunteer Investment Grants were to re-acquire funds to the previous years' funding levels. We are working with the Senate and Governor's Office. The next steps include working with the Legislature and to encourage grantee involvement. Mr. Caldwell shared the goals for Learn and Serve which were to broaden the leadership and dialogue, secure increased levels of funding, develop innovative partnerships, disseminate research, and development a resource library. Regarding broadening the leadership, the Commission is now represented on the Blue Ribbon Panel on Civic Good of Higher Education, linked to the Governor's Education Summit, has been meeting with local superintendents, and involved with the Michigan Coalition on Civic Education. The MCSC is also seeking Learn and Serve Homeland Security funding. The MCSC is putting together research findings on service learning and MEAP testing. Next steps include expanding the leadership partners to include education associations. Mr. Caldwell shared that there were 150 nominations received for the Governor's Service Awards. There were six categories this year, instead of 13, so progress has been made but more outreach is needed. Mr. Caldwell handed out a Mentor Michigan VISTA program description and the financial statement for the MCSC. He gave a brief overview of the financial status of the MCSC. B. 2004 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project 9 �Mr. Caldwell shared that the Signature Service Project this year will be June 26 in Benton Harbor and will be a Habitat Build. Chairperson Mulhern strongly encouraged Commissioners to attend. VI. New business - Chairperson Dan Mulhern A. Retreat Planning Committee Kari Pardoe, Don Newport, and Pam Roth agreed to serve on the Retreat Planning Committee. VII.

The following summarizes the most significant issues in the proposed rule: Sustainability and Federal Share While the Corporation agrees that there are many measures and elements of sustainability, the most recent discussion has focused on the monetary aspects of sustainability - Federal share and cost per full-time equivalent. However, the Corporation understands that other measures of sustainability are also important, and has added them to the competitive framework. The Corporation's sustainability strategy has the following six main elements: 1. Incorporates the broad spectrum of sustainability criteria throughout the Corporation's grant selection criteria. 2. Makes an applicant's budgeted Corporation cost per full-time-equivalent (FTE) a more meaningful factor in the selection process. All else being equal, the lower a program's cost per FTE, the better chance it will have to receive Corporation funding. At the same time, the Corporation will explicitly take into account the goals, performance outcomes, and the individual circumstances of programs and the communities in which they operate, thereby considering both costs and benefits. 3. Increases the grantee share of program costs based on a predictable and incremental schedule to a 50 percent aggregate level by the 10th year in which an organization receives an AmeriCorps grant for the same program. 4. Expects state commissions to develop and implement a sustainability approach as part of their oversight function. 5. Reserves a percentage of non-continuation AmeriCorps state and national grant funds each year for applicants that have not received AmeriCorps competitive funding from the Corporation for at least five years. 6. Bu ilds meaningful tools, including limited exceptions, for accommodating organizations that have demonstrated hardship in meeting the increasing match requirements. The Corporation believes, based on our research into current grantee match levels, that it is reasonab le to expect all grantees, even those operating in remote or impoverished communi t ies, to achieve this level of matching, and we expect state commissions to continue managing their portfolios to achieve even higher match levels. However, to the extent that an organization is unable to achieve or increase its share of costs, we intend to consider targeting the following assistance to organizations that are demonstrably at risk of not meeting the http://www .americorps.org/rulemaking/proposed_ summary.html 8/23/2004 �2004 AmeriCorps Rulemaking Page 2 of4 matching requirements: 1. Providing additional training and technical assistance: The Corporation plans to provide training and technical assistance to help at risk grantees identify new strategies to raise matching funds and community support. 2. Redirecting Corporation assets: The Corporation will consider using, on a short-term basis, other program assets to help an organization struggling to meet its match requirements. For example, we might temporarily allocate a VISTA member to help build the capacity and broaden the community support of a VISTA-eligible organization. 3. Conducting Corporation outreach to the regional and national philanthropic community: The Corporation will seek to broaden its outreach to the philanthropic community to promote those national and community service programs that are potentially at risk and explain the impact of the changes we are implementing. 4 . Allowing state commission portfolio flexibility: If a subgrantee of a state commission is not meeting its minimum matching requirements, we are providing the state commissions the ability to make up for the short-fall in a low-matching grantee's matching funds by pairing that grantee up with one or more grantees that are meeting more than the required level of matching funds. This will provide some flexibility to state commissions to manage their formula and, to some extent, competitive portfolios, while effectively reducing federal share. 5. Allowing a waiver: The Corporation is prepared to use its current statutory waiver authority for those satisfactorily performing and otherwise compliant programs that demonstrate an inability, in spite of reasonable efforts, to achieve sufficient financial support to meet the increased matching requirements. This waiver would be granted on an annual basis and subject to revision or revocation based on grantee performance and resources. Grant Selection Criteria The proposed rule adjusts the Corporation's grant selection criteria to meet three objectives: 1. To better align the selection criteria with elements that predict program success; 2. To incorporate into the selection criteria greater emphasis on sustainability; and 3. To provide transparency, predictability, and consistency for organizations applying for AmeriCorps funds. The proposed rule clearly describes the Corporation's grant review process, and sets out the following basic criteria that the Corporation would apply in reviewing an application for AmeriCorps funding: • Program Design, which would count for 50 percent of the score (as opposed to 60 percent currently), including o The rationale for and approach of the proposed program; o The member-related outputs and outcomes; and o The community-related outputs and outcomes. • Organizational Capability, which would remain at its current 25 percent weight, and • Cost-Effectiveness, which would count for 25 percent (as opposed to 15 percent currently). The proposed rule would require state commissions to rank the state competitive proposals they submit to the Corporation. Cost per Full-Time Equivalent http://www .americorps.org/rulemaking/proposed_summary .html 8/23/2004 �2004 AmeriCorps Rulemaking Page 3 of4 • Corporation cost per full-time equivalent (FrE) is included as an indicator of costeffectiveness in the selection criteria. Cost per FTE for Individual Programs • The proposed rule quantifies an individual program's Corporation cost per FrE as the budgeted grant costs divided by the number of member FrEs awarded in the grant (excluding child care and the education award) • Corporation will consider granting program requests to increase their Corporation cost per FrE up to the (statutorily-required) percentage increase in their previous year's AmeriCorps member living allowance. Average Cost per FTE for state commissions and national directs • Average cost per FrE for state commissions and national directs will be the budgeted grant costs for all the AmeriCorps programs in the grantee's portfolio divided by the total number of FrEs in the grantee's portfolio of AmeriCorps programs, including Education Award programs (excluding child care, the education award, and the commission administrative grants). • Corporation is considering allowing state commissions and national directs to exclude from their budgeted grant costs some amount of planning grants, in an amount to be determined by the Corporation each year. • Corporation will review the maximum average cost per FrE annually with the increase in the member living allowance and other changes to program costs in mind. Member Service Activities The proposed rule largely codifies and clarifies the Corporation's current guidelines and grant provisions on member service activities and capacity-building. Specifically, the proposed rule clarifies that AmeriCorps members may: • Perform direct service activities, and • Engage in other activities that build the organizational and financial capacity of nonprofit organizations and communities, including volunteer recruitment and certain fundraising activities. • Generally, grantees will have to include volunteer recruitment in their program design unless unfeasible • AmeriCorps members will be able to do fundraising directly in support of service activities if minimal in time • Fundraising may include grant writing, except for grants from federal agencies Tutoring Requirements The proposed rule: • Confirms that the qualification requirements for tutors and other paraprofessionals under the No Child Left Behind Act apply only to tutors who are employees of the Local Education Agency or school, but do not apply to AmeriCorps members serving as tutors under the sponsorship of an organization other than the school district. • Narrowly defines "tutor" for purposes of the regulations to include only individuals whose primary goal is to increase academic achievement in reading or other core subjects through planned, consistent, one-to-one or small-group reading, or other small-group sessions, that build on students' academic strengths and target students' academic needs. http://www. americorps. org/rul emaking/proposed_summary .html 8/23/2004 �2004 AmeriCorps Rulemaking Page 4 of 4 • Requires a member serving as a tutor (other than one employed by the LEA or school) either: o To have a high-school diploma (or its equivalent), or o To pass a proficiency test that the grantee has determined effective in ensuring that the member has the necessary skills to serve as a tutor. • Requires a member serving as a tutor (other than one employed by the LEA or school) to successfully complete any pre- and in-service specialized training required by the program. • Requires tutoring programs to show competency to provide tutoring service through their recruitment, specialized training, performance measures, and supervision. • Does not impose new requirements on members engaged in supplemental academic support activities whose primary goal is something other than increasing academic achievement. For example, providing a safe place for children after school is not tutoring, even if some of the program activities focus on homework help. State Commission Flexibility to Operate National Service Programs The Corporation's current regulations prohibit state commissions from directly operating any national service program receiving Corporation assistance. The proposed rule relaxes this current restriction by prohibiting state commissions from directly operating only national service program that receive assistance under subtitle C of the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended. Performance Measures and Evaluation The proposed rule: • Codifies current Corporation requirements for performance measures; • Requires that each set of output, intermediate outcome, and end outcome performance measures be aligned with each other; and • Limits mandatory independent evaluations to large state competitive and direct grantees Statements of Policy In the preamble of the proposed rule, the Corporation signals its intent to: • Revise the timing of the grant cycle to more closely tailor application and grant award dates to the needs of AmeriCorps grantees; • Streamline continuation grant application requirements and grantee reporting requirements to minimize the burden on grantees; • Address the refill policy in the near future; • Address the exemption of some planning grant dollars from the State Average Cost per FTE.

As a coalition of experienced national service organizations, we applaud your thoughtful, thorough efforts to improve and renew AmeriCorps . We offer the comments in this paper in the spirit of openness , accountability and collaboration through which you have requested public commentary. We appreciate many provisions in the draft rule, including the Corporation's decision not to implement time limits, the inclusion of new allowances for fundraising and capacity-building by members, the ability for state commissions to include Education Award Only programs as part of their portfolio's cost/FTE, the Corporation's commitment to three-year grant cycles, and clarifications around tutoring qualifications and performance measurement. These decisions embrace competition , creativity and flexibility, which are signatures of the AmeriCorps program. Nevertheless, we believe that there are a number of provisions that have the potential to undermine the quality and impact of AmeriCorps programs and change the nature of national service in America . In particular, we are concerned by four trends reinforced in the proposed rule: ~ I. Program quality, diversity and impact will be superceded by a uniform approach to cost; ~ II. Match requirements will be doubled from current statutory levels with insufficient evidence that most grantees can meet the increase; ~ Ill. Mandated costs are climbing as federal funding decreases, yet grantees are expected to achieve growth to remain competitive; ~ IV. Decision-making authority will be consolidated at the federal rather than the state level, significantly reducing transparency of the grant-making process. Below, we detail our concerns about the proposed rules and offer specific suggestions for clarification or changes that we feel would help to make the rules more effective and ensure that they strengthen rather than weaken national service. Concerns and Unintended Consequences of the Proposed Rules: I. Program quality, diversity and impact will be superceded by a uniform approach to cost. In an effort to distribute federal funds more widely, the draft rule focuses heavily on reducing the federal share of funding for national service programs across the country. The Corporation has created a definition of sustainability that focuses exclusively on programs' ability to provide matching funds . Cost per full-time equivalent (FTE} has been specifically identified as a tie-breaking competitive factor, and cost-effectiveness has been elevated from 15% to 25% of competitive criteria. The fact that different program models-full-time, part-time and Education Award Only-have different cost structures is not addressed. This approach to evaluating program cost and sustainability is likely to result in a decline in the historic balance of program models and erode the quality of AmeriCorps programs and services provided, particularly in the lowest-wealth states and regions of the country. • In defining sustainability, the proposed rule ignores extensive testimony on the importance of http: //www .saveamericorps.org/rulemaking/Am CorpRulemkngPosPaoer.htm 9/30/2004 �Save AmeriCorps Position Paper Page 2 of8 program quality, leverage and impact as key factors. The issue of program sustainability is central to the proposed rules and was identified as such by the Corporation at the beginning of the hearings phase. Despite dozens of hours of testimony during five day-long public hearings, five national conference calls and multiple statements published online, all representing the views of hundreds of AmeriCorps stakeholders -alumni, grantees, funders, civic leaders, administrators and nonprofit partners -that program sustainability depends on a blend of diverse and qualitative factors , the definition of sustainability in this draft rule has been reduced solely to analyzing programs' reliance on federal funding . This limited definition sets the framework for the remainder of the proposed rule and drives its subsequent major policy changes. We are disappointed and concerned that there is no further meaningful discussion of sustainability beyond cost. ~ By making cost a competitive factor, AmeriCorps' historic balance of full-time, part-time and Education Award Only programs is at risk. Since 1994, at least 50% of all AmeriCorps members have been full-time and 50% part-time, with a ratio of about 74% stipended to 26% non-stipended positions . The percentage of full-time, stipended members of all members has been at least 38% . This historic balance of program models was embedded in the original legislative intent and it works. AmeriCorps programs have in ten years had a profound impact on the communities in which AmeriCorps members serve. For that reason virtually all of the nation's governors, hundreds of mayors, private sector leaders , university presidents, more than 1,000 community partners, and newspapers throughout the nation called for the President and Congress to "Save AmeriCorps." However, by increasing the value of cost effectiveness in the grant scoring and by stating that cost per FTE will be a tie-breaker, the Corporation seriously risks shifting the robust balance of different kinds of AmeriCorps programs . The qualifier that cost per FTE will be introduced as a determining funding factor, "all things being equal", does not adequately recognize or address that different program models require different levels of federal investment and the Corporation should act to ensure that full-time national service programs are not disadvantaged by competing against part-time and other models that have lower costs per FTE. Policies related to cost should compare like models - apples to apples - to ensure that the historic balance of diverse program models is maintained. ~ The proposed rule measures "cost effectiveness" on the amount of money spent, instead of measuring program value for the money spent. Running an AmeriCorps program imposes some costs that ensure a baseline of quality -such as requirements to train and supervise participants, provide opportunities for members to develop their skills and education, etc. Programs must also pay for basic operations- the costs of fundraising, administrative overhead, and other expenses. The genius of AmeriCorps is that it permits applicants to devise "bottom up" strategies to meet the needs of local communities. It is not a one-size-fits-all program. Some of those models will inevitably be more expensive than others because of the nature of the service they perform, whom they recruit to do the service, as well as where the service is done. Programs which recruit disadvantaged participants (minority youth, for example) or are located in rural areas require different cost structures . Some models will be more expensive because they are not "attached" to a host organization that can absorb or pay a share of basic operating costs . Furthermore, program mission and quality must be factored in as return on the federal investment. For example, other federally funded service programs that enjoy universal support and recognition such as the Peace Corps and the NCCC have much higher cost levels per FTE than AmeriCorps, $40,886 and $26 ,000 respectively. AmeriCorps costs far less than either of these programs at $12,400 per FTE. Like AmeriCorps, both the Peace Corps and the NCCC are excellent programs providing tangible results, for which cost is not the driving factor in assessing its worthiness of funding. For these reasons , we strongly encourage the Corporation to reconsider the proposed rules relating to cost per FTE. Instead, the rule should provide different cost-per-FTE benchmarks for different program types . Recommendation #1 : As many have already testified , the Corporation should adopt a broader defin ition of sustainability that weighs program structure, costs, the level of community support, the strength of public and private partnerships, and the ability of the program to leverage non-Corporation resources . Recommendation #2: Preserve the historic balance of AmeriCorps programs and protect AmeriCorps' ability to respond to diverse community needs. http://www.saveamericorps.org/rulemakinvAmComRulemkn!!PosP:mer htm onnnnnLL �Save AmeriCorps Position Paper Page 3 of8 Recommendation #3: Ensure that the cost-effectiveness of programs is determined by comparing similar program models for their value as an investment, on the basis of mission, quality, location and results as well as cost. II. II. Match requirements will be doubled from current statutory levels, and with insufficient evidence that most grantees can meet the increase. ~ Few AmeriCorps programs are capable of meeting the higher match requirement. CNCS stated that the average match for programs is about 40% . This percentage does not give an accurate picture of what level of match the majority of AmeriCorps organizations are able to meet, as it may reflect an aggregate number that is weighted heavily by overmatch of a few larger AmeriCorps programs, in some states . Additionally, because of the limits of private sector support, increasing the match requirements to 50% could lead to the destruction of otherwise strong AmeriCorps programs that cannot match at the 50% level. In order to accurately assess the ability of programs in any community to meet a higher match requirement, the Corporation should provide the public with all of its information on current match levels, including data on programs in rural and low-wealth areas. ~ The effect of the match scale will be to limit program growth and track programs towards elimination. Programs will be engaged in a struggle to meet mandatory expenses and raise more fund ing while their federal share decreases. By Year 10, the Corporation share would not even cover $8,670 per FTE, which represents 85% of the 2004 mandatory minimum living allowance of $10,200 per FTE. It also fails to include increases to healthcare benefits (required for full-time participants) or cost of living adjustments . Over time an AmeriCorps program operating with 10 full-time members would need to raise twice as much money to meet the basic match requirements simply to maintain its 10-member program, as the federal share would decline by 35%. Programs therefore would be engaged in a struggle to maintain their size and impact, and growth would be challenging, especially in low-wealth regions of the country. A broad example is given below: A. Lower cost per FTE - 10 FTEs Year FTEs cost!FTE CNCS share Grantee Share Total budget* Grantee match% increase in $ to raise 1 10 12,400 124,000 41,250 165,000 25% 0 4 10 12,210 122,100 42,900 165,000 26% 1,650 5 10 11 ,550 115,500 49,500 165,000 30% 8,250 6 10 10,890 108,900 56 ,100 165,000 34% 14,850 7 10 10,230 102,300 62,700 165,000 38% 21,450 8 10 9,570 95,700 69,300 165,000 42% 28,050 9 10 8,910 89,100 75,900 165,000 46% 34,650 10 10 8,250 82,500 82,500 165,000 50% 41,250 *Does not factor in cost of living/ healthcare increases ~ There is little evidence to show that the private sector can absorb 50% of funding for programs that AmeriCorps supports. Data on 2003 giving levels compiled by Giving USA Foundation indicate that only 7.8% of philanthropic giving was channeled to human services with an additional 5% towards publicsociety benefit. Corporate and foundation funding typically has at best a 3 to 4 year life cycle. Additionally, private sector resources for nonprofits are shrinking. According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, charitable giving has declined dramatically over the past two years. Corporation giving has declined by a median of 3.8% . Foundation assets have declined for three straight years, with nine of the ten largest foundations losing a combined $10.3 billion. Total new grant commitments by sampled foundations slipped 5 percent in 2002, and the median grant size decreased to $25,000 (Foundation Center, Foundation Giving Trends, 2004 edition), barely enough to support two full-time AmeriCorps members. Because of the limits of private http://www.saveamericorps.org/rulemakin!Z/AmCornRulemlm~Pm:P~nP.r htm onnnnnA �Save AmeriCorps Position Paper Page 4 of8 sector support, increasing the match requirement to 50% would cause an adverse result: programs would eventually close, not continue. ~ Replication of successful program models is discouraged under the proposed rule. We believe that the Corporation should promote the replication of proven, high quality programs - in accordance with the original legislation -while encouraging new applicants. Program replication simply makes sense and is a sound investment strategy for taxpayer dollars. It avoids "reinventing the wheel", capitalizes on economies of scale, and incorporates continuous learning. But under the proposed rule, new sites of existing programs are specifically disadvantaged . Grantees with new operating sites are required to establish new sites at the level at which the legal applicant falls in the match scale. For example, a grantee operating for eight years in Mississippi must provide a match of 42% . In seeking to launch a new site in Louisiana, the grantee must start that program- in Year One- at 42% match. Such a policy unfairly ignores the costs of starting operations, developing partnerships and fund raising in a new community. The Corporation itself notes in their preamble that, "new sites .. . as with any start-up, may have higher costs initially." New programs should be treated as new, with attention paid to the specific geographic and philanthropic environment that varies with location, regardless of whether the applicant is a current AmeriCorps grantee. While we strongly support the development of new programs, new sites proposed by previously funded applicants should be treated equally with new sites from new applicants. Recommendation #3: If the Corporation believes that most of the 900+ AmeriCorps programs can meet and sustain a 50% match level, it should provide clear and compelling evidence of this fact. Recommendation #4 : New sites, whether from new applicants or existing grantees, should start from Year 1 to help encourage replication of successful programs. Ill. Ill. Mandated costs are climbing as federal funding decreases, yet grantees are expected to achieve growth to remain competitive. ~ Growth requirements alongside increased costs create an unsustainable program operating environment. Programs will shoulder an ever-increasing, unsustainable match burden as cost of living and other expenses beyond their control continue to climb. For example, health insurance premiums, required for full-time participants, have risen by nearly 100% in the past seven years. One standard AmeriCorps insurance provider has increased premiums from $58 per member in 1998, to $105 per member in 2004. Another major provider has increased premiums from $95 per member in 2000 to $120 in 2004, with incremental adjustments each fiscal year. Despite the increase in costs, the rules require evidence of growth over time, particularly in terms of expansion (increasing services provided in a single site) to continue to qualify for funding . The Corporation designates as competitive criteria "the extent to which your program ...is continually expanding and increasing its reach and impact in the community" (Sec. 2522.425 (c}(1 )) and "the extent to which you are increasing your share of costs to meet or exceed program goals" and "the extent to which you are proposing deeper impact or broader reach without a commensurate increase in Federal costs" (Sec. 2522.435 (a)(2)(iii, iv)). The simultaneous expectation to demonstrate growth to remain competitive, coupled with rising costs and a declining level of federal investment will make some programs unsustainable. ~ Programs will continue to be starved of operating dollars. In the past seven years, greater percentages of the reimbursement per member have been used to fund the living allowance with the net result that programs are being starved of operating dollars. Since 1997, the cost per FTE has increased only 9% (from a low of $11,250 in 1998 to $12,800 in 2004) while the mandatory minimum living allowance has been cost-of-living-adjusted by 18% in the same time frame (from $8,340 in 1998 to $10,200 in 2005). Accordingly, the amount of federal funds available for program operating expenses has decreased from 40 to 30 percent, with 6% of that 10% decrease occurring in one program year: 2004 -2005. Prior to 2004, programs had been able to adjust to a percentage increase in living allowance because it was accompanied by an increase in cost per member. But in 2004, the living allowance increased while the cost per member decreased simultaneously, resulting in a $700 per member cut compared to 2003 . Expectation of growth is unrealistic, given the reduction in program operating funds. http://www .saveamericoros.org/rulemakin2:/AmCom Rnl em kn 11Pn"P~nPr htrn on n n nrM �Save AmeriCorps Position Paper Page 5 of 8 Operating Dollars per FTE Continue to Shrink 1997 Federal Fiscal Year CNCS Cost per Member Minimum Living Allowance 2004 Maximum 85% paid by CNCS of living Allowance %of Total Cost per Member (at 85%) $left for Program Operating Expenses %left for Program Operating Expenses 1997 11 ,750 8,340 7,089 60% 4,661 40% 1998 11 ,250 8,340 7,089 63% 4,161 37% 1999 11,250 8,730 7,421 66% 3,830 34% 2000 11,700 9,000 7,650 65% 4,050 35% 2001 12,100 9,300 7,905 65% 4,195 35% 2002 12,400 9,600 8,160 66% 4,240 34% 2003 12,800 9,900 8,415 66% 4,385 34% 2004 12,400 10,200 8,670 70% 3,730 30% Notes 1. When programs were required to increase the minimum living allowance, the cost per member also increased by at least the same amount. 2. The one exception to this trend occurred in 1998 and 1999 when either the cost per member dropped or the minimum living allowance increased , but not in the same year. 3. The percentage of total cost per member that can be spent on program operating funds has steadily decreased, with a sharp decline in 2004. Between 1997 and 2004, this decrease has amounted to 10% more of total funds that must be spent on living allowance. Programs have been required to increase costs and use a portion of their federal funds to fund the increase. Programs have fewer dollars to support expenses. ~ The external evaluation requirement increases costs without increasing support. The Coalition supports evaluation, as evaluation helps demonstrate the effectiveness of AmeriCorps programs . Previous evaluations have shown that AmeriCorps programs provide double value for every dollar invested . An independent cost-benefit study funded by the Charles A. Dana Foundation, IBM International Foundation , the James Irvine Foundation, and Youth Service California found that programs supported by AmeriCorps returned between $1.60 and $2 .60 for every dollar spent. The proposed rule, however, mandates external evaluation, to be conducted every year for five years, for grantees receiving $500,000 or more in federal funds. The average cost of an external evaluation using control group methodology (where outcomes are observed in comparison to a group not receiving services) and random assignment is approximately $100,000 a year, per location . By requiring programs to fund and complete such external evaluation the Corporation is imposing an extremely high cost burden . The Corporation states in Section 2521.40 that Program Operating Costs supported by federal funds will include "internal evaluation"; elsewhere (Sec. 2522 .540) the Corporation states that such costs will be incorporated as part of a program's cost per FTE. In either case, the increase in mandated costs will continue to decrease dollars available for fixed and necessary program operating costs. If the Corporation cannot provide additional funding or tools to support such an evaluation, the requirement should be waived. ~ The "No-Refill" rule hurts communities and schools that depend on AmeriCorps members. Currently, the Corporation is enforcing a "No Refill" rule, which does not allow programs tore-budget unused stipends and benefits or recruit or enroll new members to fill the slots left open by attrition . All institutions in our society experience some turnover, whether they are in the private, non-profit, or government sector. No business would operate under a rule where if an employee leaves, you cannot replace him or her until the end of the fiscal year. It does not make programmatic sense to have AmeriCorps operate under this rule . If corps members leave and are not replaced, service commitments to communities and schools cannot be kept, and programs are faced with an even larger fundraising burden http://www.saveamericorps.org/rulemaking/AmCoroRulemkngPosPaoer.htm 9/~0/?004 �Save AmeriCorps Position Paper Page 6 of8 as they scramble to raise additional dollars to cover fixed costs, such as staff and administration . The General Accounting Office noted that 80% of programs surveyed commented that the no-refill rule will have a generally or very negative effect on their program (Management of AmeriCorps and the National Service Trust, January 2004, pp. 25-26) . In some cases, the inability to provide a contracted number of members to a host site means that match funding from the host site will also dry up. For small programs this can mean going out of business. With the Corporation's improved capacity to track commitments, there is no reason we should deny more people an opportunity to serve and undermine program credibility and sustainability. The Corporation identified the No Refill rule as a "significant non-regulatory issue." We continue to urgently request that it be resolved as quickly as possible. Recommendation #5 : The Corporation should clearly state that it will index mandatory cost of living increases with a corresponding increase in the cost per FTE. Recommendation #6: The Corporation should pursue an alternative evaluation approach as noted in Sec. 2522.710 (d) to create a common set of standardized evaluation tools that would be available at no cost to grantees and could be utilized internally rather than requiring an external evaluator. Recommendation #7: Remove the no-refill rule. IV. Decision-making authority will be consolidated at the federal level, significantly reducing transparency of the grant-making process. ~ The rationale and process for reserving a specific percentage of funds for new applicants is not clearly addressed and does not support the Corporation's goal of predictable and transparent grantmaking. Under the proposed rule, a percentage of funds for State and National programs will be reserved annually for new applicants, an amount subject entirely to Corporation discretion . "The Corporation will determine this percentage annually based on the availability of appropriations and the projected number of re-competing applications ... ." (Preamble to proposed rule, p.50124). This proposal appears to establish a percentage of funds for new applicants rather than relying on competition to bring new grantees into the portfolio. It also creates another area in which the Corporation's decision-making is dependent on the timing of the Congressional appropriations process . Finally, it forces the Corporation staff to estimate the number of applications for recompetition . The policy hinders the Corporation's objective of making the grants process more transparent and predictable. ~ The selection criteria fails to identify how it will be exercised and applied, giving the Corporation wide discretion to supercede quality in favor of "special considerations". The proposed rule gives the Corporation explicit and total authority to select national service programs on the basis of various priorities (Section 2522.450). However, the regulations do not provide any parameters under which the Corporation may apply these priorities. The proposed regulations state only that the Corporation, after assessing applicants on the basis of quality, "may give special consideration to ensure a balanced portfolio" without providing potential applicants, grantees, and the public with any sense of how the authority with respect to setting priorities will be exercised and applied . No definition of a balanced portfolio is given. States' role in determining proper local balance is undermined by the Corporation's caveat that competitive proposal rankings may or may not be considered in selection . (Sec. 2522.465b) . The rule also gives the Corporation explicit authority to establish new priorities of undefined nature, as long as it "determines and disseminates [new priorities] in advance of the selection process." Again, these policies harm the Corporation's goal of building a more transparent and fair process. ~ The process and timing for requesting a waiver is not addressed. The Corporation proposes a number of instances where it will have discretion to waive some program requirements , but it does not provide a process that would ensure that programs seeking waivers are not disadvantaged. CNCS should review and respond to any request for a waiver around leveraging volunteers, cost per FTE, or matching requirements before the applicant submits the full grant application . This is necessary in order to ensure that no applicants are compromised in the grant application as a result of seeking a waiver. In addition , the rules should explicitly state that applying for or receiving a waiver would not impact the scoring of the grant. Recommendation #8: The Corporation should clearly state and justify the percentage of funds reserved for new applicants. http://www.saveamericorps.org/rulemaking/AmCorpRulemkngPosPaper.htm 9/30/2004 �Save AmeriCorps Position Paper Page 7 of8 Recommendation #9: The Corporation should clearly define how it will apply selection priorities, instead of relying on "special considerations" to achieve a balanced portfolio. Recommendation #1 0: The Corporation should clarify the process for requesting waivers and ensure that such requests do not negatively impact applicants. In summary, we would like to emphasize our commitment to partnering with the Corporation by offering constructive commentary on the proposed rule as published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2004. We have drafted our comments based on more than 10 years of experience in running AmeriCorps programs of every size and focus in communities across the United States. We appreciate the Corporation's commitment to accountability and transparency in the rulemaking process, and look forward to continuing to work together to build and strengthen AmeriCorps without compromising program quality.

GRANHOLM , Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: 517.335.4295 FAX: 517.373.4977 W'N'N.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: June 18, 2004 RE: Summary of June 18,2004 Meeting The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on Friday, June 18, 2004. The meeting was called to order at 10:08 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulhern, Chair; Rob Collier, Russ Mawby and Meg Smith. Staff present: Kyle Caldwell, Paula Kaiser, Janice Harvey, Mary Zatina, and Joan Bowman. Staff Recommendations for 2004 Michigan 's AmeriCorps Funding Mr. Caldwell explained that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) received 406 AmeriCorps*State competitive program proposals (302 new and 104 renewal applications) for a total request of over $197 million and over 17,000 FTEs. They approved requests for over $110 million and over 9,000 FTEs. Members reviewed the staff recommendations outlined in a memo from Paula Kaiser dated June 16, 2004. Michigan has $3,109,866 formula funds available, of which $1 ,706,983 will support new programs. Paula Kaiser explained that the staff recommended funding the following six new formula programs: American Red Cross East Shoreline Chapter at $270,400, Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor at $169,506, Catholic Family Services at $221,385, Communities in Schools Detroit at $332,408, Jumpstart for Young Children, Inc. at $176,228, and Michigan Primary Care Association at $266,000. In addition, they recommended $10,000 more than was requested in order to fund a threemonth planning phase (July-September) so that systems will be in place and operational by October 1. �Ms. Kaiser explained that staff recommended a reduced amount of funding for Michigan Primary Care Association (they requested 35 full-time FTEs and staff recommended 20). Feedback from both the peer and staff review questioned the program's capacity to implement a statewide multi-site program of that size. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the new formula funding. Commissioner Collier moved to support the motion and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Kaiser listed the programs that were not being recommended for new formula funding. Mr. Caldwell explained that they didn't have a strong AmeriCorps concept. Ms. Kaiser also explained that one of the programs, Michigan Communities in Schools, could not meet the match requirements. Ms. Kaiser discussed the formula renewal applications. The staff is recommending that funding for all programs be restored to the FY 2002-03 funding level. This would allow the MCSC to fund new programs that focused on the priority areas of mentoring, early childhood education, and homeland security. The staff recommended renewal funding for the following applicants: Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council at $177,406, Charlevoix Emmet lSD at $222,497, Guidance Center at $260,400, Habitat for Humanity at $403,000, Ionia Intermediate School District at $153,600, and Volunteer Muskegon at $186,000. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for formula renewal applications. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the recommendations and Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Kaiser explained the results of the AmeriCorps Competitive Application process and that the number of members has increased dramatically this year. Chairman Mulhern would like the staff to look at the balance of per capita service based on population and that it could possibly be discussed as a session at the September Board Retreat. ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership and MCSC Transition Mr. Caldwell explained that he has been offered and has accepted the position as President and CEO of the ConnectMichigan Alliance and is looking at a start date of September. He also stated that the Executive Committee needs to outline a process for the transition and what the needs of Mr. Caldwell's time would be. Chairman Mulhern shared his comments that Kyle's departure will be a disappointment for the Commission but that it will be a continuation of a great relationship with CMA. He also outline what the Governor' s/his perspective was for filling the position. He said they will proceed with a Gubernatorial Appointment and will be focused on those within Michigan. He stated that Paula Kaiser has stated interest in the position and should apply, and Commissioners should be involved and forward names. He is expecting it to be a 6-week �process with the replacement available by mid to late August. He also stated that it would be great ifthere were an overlap period with Mr. Caldwell. Commissioner Mawby stated that he regrets that Mr. Caldwell is leaving, but that it is a natural fit for Mr. Caldwell. He also agreed with Chairman Mulhern's process and timeline. Commissioner Collier agreed with the process also but offered two suggestions-the Chair should send out a one-page memo with job description and who resumes should be sent to and insists that Mr. Caldwell attends the Commission meeting in September for a proper roast/toast. Commissioner Smith stated that it was an appropriate move for Mr. Caldwell as he worked so hard to establish the CMA. She also felt that the transition will work well. Other Items Commissioner Collier asked whether there needed to be any follow-up to the David Eisner visit. Mr. Caldwell shared that letters were sent from Chairman Mulhern and Commissioner Mawby thanking Mr. Eisner for visiting. Mr. Caldwell stated that he saw Mr. Eisner on Monday and he stated that he was impressed with his visit to Michigan. The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 a.m. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M.

After reviewing the formula renewal applications the staff determined that $1,706,983 was available to support new AmeriCorps programs. The MCSC issued the Notice ofFunds Available (NOFA) and the Concept Paper Guidelines in November 2003 via the MCSC web site. In the NOF A, the MCSC advertised the opportunity for potential applicants to participate in a technical assistance conference call to learn about how to apply for Michigan' s AmeriCorps Funding. The Michigan' s AmeriCorps Concept Papers were due to MCSC on January 15, 2004. The MCSC received 16 Concept Papers. All 16 Concept Papers were reviewed by a panel of peer reviewers on January 26, 2004. The peer reviewers recommended that 11 of the Concept Papers move to the next level which was the MCSC staff review. The staff reviewed all 11 applications and moved 9 of them forward to the next step of the application process -- the submission of a Comprehensive Application on March 4, 2004. Seven of the nine programs were submitted as part of the MCSC AmeriCorps competitive application package to the Corporation for National and Community Service. Two of the nine programs (Good Samaritan Ministries and Michigan State University) were funded through the Competitive funds. The remaining seven were then considered for formula funding. One of the seven (Michigan Communities in Schools) dropped out due to their inability to meet the match requirements. The staff recommends that the remaining six be funded. 1 �The staff recommended a reduced amount of funding for Michigan Primary Care Association (MPCA). MPCA requested 35 full-time equivalent (FTEs) members and staff is recommending 20 FTEs. Feedback from both the peer and staff review questioned the program's capacity to implement a statewide multi-site program of that size. In addition, the staff recommended $10,000 more dollars than what was requested in order to fund a three-month planning phase that will begin July 1, 2004. The funds will allow programs to hire the staff and to develop the systems necessary to lay a solid foundation for the program. Programs are only eligible for the planning funds in their initial year of set up. New Formula Programs The staff recommends new funding at the recommended amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant American Red Cross East Shoreline Chapter Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor Catholic Family Services Communities In Schools Detroit Jumpstart for Young Children, Inc Michigan Primary Care Association Total Funding FTEs Requested Requested $260,400 21 Funding FTEs Recommend Recommended $270,400 21 FTE Rate $12,876 $159,506 12 $169,506 12 $14,126 $211,385 16.4 $221,385 16.4 $13,499 $322,408 26 $332,408 26 $12,785 $166,228 17 $176,228 17 $10,366 $492,806 35 $266,000 20 $13,300 $1,612,733 127.4 $1,435,927 112.4 $12,775* *The CNCS average FTE cost requirement is $12,400. The FTE rates are higher for the new programs given the additional $10,000 for the planning grant phase. This is a one-time investment and therefore next year the FTE rates will be within $12,400- $12,800. 2 �Not Recommended for New Formula Funding The following new applicants applied for funding and based on the peer and staff review are not being recommended for funding.

Given that we were able to fund all applications that successfully passed the peer and staff review, the staff will solicit an application from a mentoring organization to develop a pilot ArneriCorps program that will develop school-based mentoring programs in schools not making Adequate Yearly Progress under the No Child Left Behind Legislation. If we are unsuccessful in developing the program by August of 2004 then we will retain the funds and grant them in FY 2005-06. 3 �Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Renewal Applications Background and Process The MCSC issued renewal application guidelines to all of its Michigan's AmeriCorps renewal programs. The staff reviewed those guidelines with the programs on the December program director conference call. Formula renewal applications were due to MCSC by May 17,2004. The MCSC conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions were due to MCSC by June 16, 2004. The staff will review all of the revisions to ensure all issues are addressed. The staff is recommending that we restore FY 2002-03 funding levels for all programs. (All programs were severely cut in FY 03-04 due to the national funding cuts.) Four programs requested higher levels of funding than their FY 02-03 level. In those cases, staff recommended restoring funding to the FY 02-03 level. The rationale for this was that it would allow the MCSC to fund new programs that focused on our state priorities ofmentoring, early childhood education, and homeland security. The staff makes the following recommendations. Renewal Applicants The staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council Charlevoix Emmet lSD Guidance Center Habitat for Humanity Ionia Intermediate School District Volunteer Muskegon Total Funding FfEs Funding FTEs Requested Requested Recommend Recommended $190,087 $177,406 14 15 FTE Rate $12,672 $222,497 20 $222,497 20 $11,125 $322,417 26 $260,400 21 $12,400 $502,572 39.25 $403,000 32.2 $12,400 $153,600 12 $153,600 12 $12,800 $210,423 17 $186,000 15 $12,400 $1,601,596 129.25 $1,402,903 114.2 $12,285* * The CNCS average FTE cost requirement is $12,400. 4 �Results of the AmeriCorps Competitive Application Process Legal Funding Funding FTEs FTEs Applicant Requested Requested Approved Approved BHK Child $739,884 60 $702,867 57' Development City Year$770,000 $737,000 67 70 Detroit Good Samaritan $128,000 10 $128,000 10 Ministries Marquette $201,608 $201,608 15.5 15.5 AlgerRESA Michigan 20 20 $244,276 $244,276 Department of Agriculture Michigan State $247,993 $247,993 20 20 University Regents of the $314,609 $314,609 28.7 28.7 University of Michigan 218.2 $2,576,353 $2,646,370 224.2 Total FTE Rate $12,331 $11,000 $12,800 $13,007 $12,214 $12,400 $10,962 $11,807* *The CNCS average FTE cost requirement is $12,400. The MCSC total competitive request was $4,290,898 for a total of357.6 full-time equivalent members. Last year the MCSC had two programs funded for a total of $496,321. Therefore we leveraged $2,080,032 in new funding for FY 04-05.

By providing these education and outreach opportunities, Michigan communities will be better prepared for disasters. Members will recruit, schedule, and train volunteers in CPR, First Aid, and AED; facilitate relationships with local government officials, emergency management, and other fust responders where none currently exist; and recruit and train volunteers to respond to any level of disaster, placing an emphasis on underserved areas. Members will reach 7,000 individuals each year with preparedness/community disaster information. 315 new volunteers will be recruited each year, serving a total of 11,025 hours. Counties Served: Arenac, Bay, Huron, Tuscola, Alpena, Schoolcraft, Delta, Alger, Marquette, Iron, Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw, Ontanogon, Gogebic, Genesee, Lapeer, Clinton, Eaton, Gratiot, Ingham, Shiawassee, Kalamazoo, Cass, St. Joseph, Allegan, Muskegon, Oceana, Newaygo, Isabella, Clare, Kent, Montcalm, Barry, and Ionia. Lynn A. Weaver 228 Washington Avenue Bay City, MI 48708 Phone: (989) 892-1541 Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor- The Smart Choice Project The Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor proposes a program that would engage 10 full-time AmeriCorps members to help disadvantaged children ages 6-18 in Benton Harbor "realize their full potential as responsible, productive and caring citizens". All members would be placed at the Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor, and would support programs and services in the areas of 1) Character and Leadership Development, 2) Academic and Career Development, 3) The Arts, and 4) Sports, Fitness and Recreation. The goal of the program would be to serve 200 children considered "at-risk" based upon census data, school profiles, and family /community feedback. Members would strive to improve the social development and conduct of 70% of those served, as measured by school records and teacher progress reports.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 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 of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: August 24, 2004 RE: Summary of August 20, 2004 Meeting The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on Friday, August 20, 2004. The meeting was called to order at 10:05 a.m. Members present: Daniel Mulhern, Chair; Rob Collier, Vivian Pickard and Meg Smith. Staff present: Kyle Caldwell, Paula Kaiser, Janice Harvey, and Joan Bowman. Agenda for September Board Meeting and Retreat Chairman Mulhern went over the agenda for the September 14-15 MCSC Board Meeting and Retreat to be held at Brook Lodge in Augusta. The first day of the retreat will include a dialogue on transition at the Commission and a panel discussion with ConnectMichigan Alliance, Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers ofMichigan. Mr. Caldwell will also discuss how the ConnectMichigan Aliance will work with the MCSC on Mentor Michigan initiatives. There will also be a presentation on the state of mentoring by Bob Kahle, discussion on National Mentoring Month with commissioners commitments, and comments from Cal Steele who is the 2004 GSA Mentor of the Year. The second day will show a illustration of work of the MCSC with a presentation from a Habitat family and then focus on opportunities, expectations and short and long-term goals. �Update on MCSC Initiatives Kyle Caldwell gave an update on Mentor Michigan and shared that Michigan is one of five states that received a 2-year, $60,000 grant from the National Mentoring Partnership. The grant will help to create an advocacy network for mentoring and work with the Michigan Public Policy Institute of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) (Erin Skene). Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is submitting a proposal to the Hudson Webber Foundation for a 3-year grant in the about of $300,000. This grant will help with training and capacity building activities. The MCSC is also working with Karen Aldridge Eason on a grant with the Mott Foundation in which they are showing interest (they currently fund the National Mentoring Partnership). There have been discussions with the Department of Education regarding after-school programs. The MCSC will be launching an on-line tracking system in September and will then have a better sense of mentoring data. The data collected from this tracking system will be ready for distribution by mid-November. The MCSC is hosting a series of regional meetings this fall as a follow-up to the Mentor Michigan Summits last fall. The purpose ofthe meetings will be to give an update of Mentor Michigan, show the field where we are (presentation by Bob Kahle), unveil the advocacy network, and provide training. Mr. Caldwell also gave an update on the AmeriCorps program' s rulemaking process and explained that the draft rule has been published. There is now a 60-day comment period (ends October 12) and then 30 days later the CNCS will publish the final rule with the rule being implemented 30 days later. The three key areas of concern center around sustainability policy (the MCSC will have to look at ours to see how they match), change in grant selection process and member service activities. Mr. Caldwell shared that the most fascinating change will be the clarification of what state programs can operate-all non-Subtitle C programs (VISTA, Senior Programs, Promise Fellows). There will need to be a unified statement by state commissions. Mr. Caldwell will bring feedback from the regional conference calls on rulemaking to the September Commissioner meeting to decide whether the Commission wants to take action. Mr. Caldwell gave an update on the federal appropriations process in Congress. The President has proposed CNCS receive over $600 million for AmeriCorps and $43 million for Learn & Serve. The House has provided appropriations for AmeriCorps but it is $70 million less. Josh Bolton (OMB) wrote Congress a letter stating that was not enough. The appropriation bill now goes to the House floor and then the Senate but will be more than likely be stalled due to the election. The good news is AmeriCorps funding is up from last year but is down $70 from the President's proposal. Learn and Service is down $3 million from last year and Senior Corps and VISTA appropriations are flat funded. In regards to state appropriations, VIG is currently at $280,100, which is a $100 difference between the House and Senate so it will go to a Conference Committee. Other funding for the Commission remains flat. Staff Recommendations for Learn and Serve School-Based Grants Paula Kaiser gave background on the applications that were received and explained the three categories of funding (implementation, institutionalization, and ISD/Higher Education partnerships). She also explained that one applicant, St. Charles Borromeo, is not currently being recommended for funding. They are a private school that has been funded for the past two years but the CNCS has recently notified the MCSC that private schools cannot be �funded. St. Charles Borromeo is in discussions with the Coldwater Public Schools to see if they will serve as the fiscal agent for the grant. If they agree, the staff will ask the board to approve their grant at the September board meeting. Members reviewed the staff recommendations outlined in a memo from Paula Kaiser dated August 16, 2004. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based grants. Commissioner Collier moved to support the motion and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Commissioner Smith identifying a conflict of interest and therefore abstaining from voting on Bedford Public Schools'proposal. Chairman Mulhern asked how programs get into the Learn and Serve funding process (where is Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw, St. Joseph). Paula Kaiser explained the process. It was suggested that next year there could be help provided to help develop interest in these programs in the Detroit area. Mr. Caldwell explained the Michigan Merit Award Board actions in requiring 40 hours of volunteer service for a scholarship. He stated that the Commission staff are in discussions with appropriate parties at the Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan Department of Treasury as to what they can do to help the Merit Award Board.

The staff reviewed all33 applications on July 12- 14, 2004. Staff is recommending 32 ofthe 33 for funding. One applicant, StCharles Borromeo, is not currently being recommended for funding. They are a private school in Coldwater that we have funded for the past two years. We were recently notified from the Corporation for National and Community Service that we can not fund private schools - only local education agencies are eligible for the funds. St. Charles Borremeo is currently in discussion with Coldwater Public Schools to see if they would be willing to serve as the fiscal agent for the grant. If they are willing to serve as the fiscal agent, the staff will ask the board to approve their grant at the September 14th board meeting. This year there were three categories of renewal funding - implementation, institutionalization, and ISD/Higher Education partnerships. School districts that have received funds in the past were able to apply for an implementation grant to expand quality service-learning practice throughout the district.

Spearheaded nationally by the Harvard Mentoring Project and MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, National Mentoring Month will celebrate it's fourth anniversary in January 2005. In 2004, Michigan had its first statewide effort when Mentor Michigan organized a wide range of activities, produced a variety of resources for local mentoring programs, and garnered statewide media support. Local mentoring organizations also hosted many activities during National Mentoring Month such as recruitment fairs, recognition celebrations, and special events for mentors and mentees. Thank Your Mentor Day is a big part ofNational Mentoring Month. Held for the first time on January 15,2004, Thank Your Mentor Day is designed to give men tees an opportunity to honor an important mentor in their lives. Who Mentored You (www.WhoMentoredYou.org), the group leading Thank Your Mentor Day activities, provides a variety of fun, web-based resources and ideas that can be utilized on this day. Mentor Michigan's Goals for National Mentoring Month 2005 + Create statewide media attention around mentoring through public service announcements for television, radio, and print . + + + + Encourage and support local mentoring collaboratives in their efforts to host activities and events. + Create a web-based National Mentoring Month Communications Tool Kit. Encourage involvement of faith-based organizations through Mentor Michigan Sunday. Participate in Thank Your Mentor Day and other local activities. Introduce the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council.

It is a collaborative effort between Michigan State University Extension and the Ottawa County Family Court Juvenile Services. Volunteers aged 18 and over are screened and then trained to mentor adjudicated youth that are referred to the program by their probation officers or court counselors. These youth often lack a positive, caring adult role model. This is a voluntary program, meaning that the youth must indicate that they are interested in having a mentor in order to be matched. Once matched, the mentor and youth spend at least two hours a week together for one year. Most matches last much longer, and often matches will spend 4 or more hours together weekly. During these weekly visits, matches are encouraged to participate in mutually enjoyable activities. The intention is to significantly impact the lives of delinquent youth so that they are able to become productive members of the community. Journey youth are less likely than non-mentored court-involved youth to have probation violations; they spend less time in juvenile detention, and are more likely to be released from probation on schedule. They are more likely to feel valued by their community and have increased self-esteem. These behavioral changes often impact the family in a positive way. The community benefits in numerous ways as well. The financial impact of reduced recidivism of delinquent behavior is significant. The average cost for juvenile placement for one year is $55,000. The Journey Program is appropriated a budget of $60,000 a year by the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners, meaning that by keeping even one youth out of placement, the program pays for itself. It is difficult to compare the payoff with the outcome, though. What is the cost of"saving" one youth? We think it is priceless. �Cal Steele 2004 Governor's Service Awards Outstanding Mentor Award Cal Steele of Spring Lake became a mentor at age 78 when he became involved with the Journey Program, which matches mentors with youth that are on probation or involved with the family court. In 2002, he began mentoring Jordan who struggled with peer relationships, anger management, and self esteem issues. Mr. Steele's care and concern helped Jordan and his family through very troubling times when Jordan's sister was hospitalized with severe health issues. He arranged for Jordan to have major dental work done pro bono and has taught Jordan the importance to giving back to his community. Together they collected $1,200 worth of cans for the Journey Program's can drive. As a result of their relationship, Jordan's self esteem has increased, he is more comfortable in public situations, his anger management skills have improved, and he is no longer on probation. In support of the Journey Program, Mr. Steele actively recruits and assists new mentors, established the holiday Adopt-A-Family program, and is involved in other youth activities. �Cal Steel was reading the newspaper one day in October of 2002 and saw an ad for the Journey Program, a program that matches mentors with youth that are on probation or otherwise involved with the family court. He called that day and scheduled a meeting to learn more. Cal decided that he had something to share. He had experienced a great deal in his 78 years and knew firsthand the impact that one person can have on a child. Cal completed the screening and training process within one month of reading the advertisement. Cal is a phenomenal mentor. He was matched with Jordan, age 12, early last year. Since then they have become great friends. Jordan was referred to Journey because he was getting in trouble at school and on the bus. He was in special education and struggled with peer relationships. He was having problems controlling his anger, particularly with peers. Jordan is very close with his mom and sister, but he lacked a positive male role model and friend. His · father is not involved in his life. Jordan's sister has had some serious health issues in recent years and, like any big brother, he worries about her. His behavior problems increased when his sister and mother were away at the hospital. Cal has been there to listen to Jordan and to help him have some fun to reduce stress. They particularly enjoy going to McDonald's and Miss Lisa's for a meal and dessert. They have gone to the boat launch, watched a performance of Guys and Dolls (Jordan's first play! He loved it!), took a tour of Great Harvest Bread Company and they went to the Spring Lake Heritage Festival. Recently, Cal coordinated a Pop Can Drive fundraiser for Journey activities and he and ·Jordan collected more cans than all other matches, $1200 worth of cans and cash donations. Jordan's mom says that the experience was wonderful for Jordan, allowing him to be enthusiastic and direct his energy towards something positive. Jordan, like most kids his age, has self-esteem issues. Jordan is often teased because of his extremely crooked teeth and overbite. Cal has talked to Jordan about the appropriate way to respond when teased, but he wanted to do more. Cal has advocated for Jordan with his own dentist and a local orthodontist and they have agreed to take Jordan's case pro-bono. Jordan has had teeth removed this summer and is now wearing braces- at no charge! Jordan is extremely excited and appreciative, even though he knows that this is only the beginning of a long process. It seems that he understands how this might impact his life and his relationship with his peers. Most important, Jordan has already exhibited improved self esteem. He knows that there are others who care about him and believe in him. Cal ensures that Jordan always has transportation to his orthodontist appointments. In fact, when Cal left for a vacation, his friend Bob Dorton, who is also a Journey mentor, stood in for Cal to make sure that Jordan had the ongoing support he needed during those weeks. �Cal meets with Jordan an average of 3 hours once a week. Occasionaly they will have 2 visits in the same week. He has also taken on additional leadership roles in Journey. He frequently talks about mentoring to people he meets and encourages them to mentor, frequently bringing me their contact information so that we can send them a packet. He noticed that our activity fund was getting low and coordinated the pop can drive and visited businesses to solicit donations. Cal noticed that Jordan's family would be struggling over the holidays. His mother couldn't work because of his sister's health problems (she had surgery and needed constant supervision) and money was low. Cal asked me, the porgram coordinator, if other Journey families had similar circumstances. The answer was yes. Cal approached friends, acquantances and community members for donations for Journey's first ever Adopt-A-Family program. He raised the money ($50 per family) and bought all the food needed for Thanksgiving dinner for four families. He delivered the items along with cooking instructions that he prepared himself. At Christmas he did the same thing. He has also assisted us in raising funds for a recruitment campaign for mentors for all mentoring programs in Ottawa County. He allowed us to film him with a youth actor in our courts informational video on the family court. He stops by the office weekly to find out the best ways to support Jordan, to share his ideas and to receive feedback. I would estimate that Cal gives a minimum of 5 hours a week and sometimes up to 20 hours to mentoring and mentoring program support. When I send out a request to mentors for assistance, Cal responds. He has coordinated donations of pumpkins for our Halloween party, hot dogs for our beach party and many similar items for other activities. He often indudes Jordan when gathering these donations, teaching him how to communicate and problem solve. Jordan's self esteem has increased, he has become more comfortable in public situations and has worked on his anger management with Cal's support. He is no longer on probation. Jordan and Cal are such a fun match! They always seem to be smiling and they truly enjoy each others company. When asked if we picked the right mentor for him, Jordan beams and laughs. He knows that he doesn't have to answer because the answer is so obvious! I have managed many wonderful mentors during the past 7 years. I have never come across a volunteer as amazing as Cal. He wears his heart on his sleeve and everyone in our program is better for having known him. He inspires Jordan, his family, other Journey mentors and youth, my staff and myself to be the best we can be and to give back to the community. He truly deserves this honor. �-~~~o~~CR~nm~~---------------------- . \1 tm • ~>. H.,, \ !> Q..D D U.Y"\·,d.~ ro~ l.\u.~ ~ ~-A mrdt ff)a Co.~ S-b,o\k ~ffio Sru-u~.eL ~AJ. Qm lfu '"fO:. .<. .

Is Mentoring for you? About a little over a year ago I asked myself that question. Never really received an answer so I just called Lisa Bottomley, director of the Journey Mentoring program for MSU Extension, and started to learn by going to a few classes. The classes were designed to prepare me for my job as Mentor. Found out that the information you receive is invaluable, a great help. My activity started by going to the Fillmore Detention center for young people with a problem. Met a couple ofMentors that had been going there for some time and learned the How's and Why's first hand. It was there that I felt that I could provide some help, some thoughts and direction. One of the things I learned was that If you tell them you will see them on, say Saturday, you dam well better be there because that is one thing that is needed in their lives--being associated with someone that lives up to their word. I went to the Fillmore Center twice a week, each visit lasted only a little over one hour, not very much time considering what your influence could be for just one kid during that time. My next assignment was with a Mentee; let's call him "Joe" . Joe was 12 years old and had been in the Detention Center 4 times before we became Mentor I Mentee. My function as a Mentor was to spend 2 hours (approx.) a week with Joe. Not a lot of time when you stop to think about what help you may possibly give to Joe. Well Joe and I spent time getting to know one another, our likes I dislikes, activities we wanted to do and possibly what we liked to snack and eat. The latter is an important part of a young person' s life, especially during the process of getting to know one another. Eating gives you time to talk about things that perhaps you haven't been able to get out in the open before. Joe and I shared some of these times and found them to be most memorable to each of us. Oh yes, we who are grown up and have become Mentors will receive a lot of knowledge about life and how to look at it, just from associating with our Mentee. Brings back our time as a youth. Back to the reason for this essay. Joe and I did a lot of things like going to the Hope Theater and seeing a stage play, going on a hay ride with a hot dog roast after. Also, having a Chinese dinner out, attending a Halloween party with a group of kids, etc. All these were a lot of fun, but mainly just being together, on time, available to share thoughts and concerns, happiness and problems, makes this mentoring job worth my time and effort. The greatest reward I have received from my Mentee, over and above the "thank you's" and other polite things that he has learned was---- one day after we had gone on our weekly visit, Joe said, out ofthe clear blue sky-----" You know Cal, if I were to be offered a Mentor next year, I would want it to be you". How about that!!! When was the last time that a 12 year old expressed something that had so much Love in it that it made you want to shed a few tears ( I did ), they really NEED us. Won't you consider becoming a Mentor too? I know that you will receive more that you give, can't beat that can you.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:14 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. II. Comments by David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service Chairperson Mulhern introduced David Eisner. Mr. Eisner started out by sharing that since he began with the Corporation, Kyle Caldwell has been a tremendous advisor to him. He has been with the Corporation for four months but was waiting to be confirmed by the Senate for seven months, which was during the AmeriCorps pause. He is happy to report that coming out of what some might call a "crisis year", there is a lot of good news this year. This year has the largest funding increase that AmeriCorps has ever witnessed and also funding increases in Senior Corps and Learn and Serve. Mr. Eisner noted that it's not all funding news. There is stronger bipartisan support in Congress than ever before, greater public awareness, and Governors of every state submitted strong letters of support for AmeriCorps. This is in part due to all the program has accomplished in the last ten years. It has accomplished so much good in so many communities and when it looked like the program was threatened, those accomplishments came to the forefront. Mr. Eisner shared that the Corporation's goal will be to capture the momentum and build it to a strong future to cement the awareness, the bipartisan support, the state support, and grow on the foundation of that level of support and goodwill. Mr. Eisner noted that even in the absence of a crisis, a lot of folks will tell you is not easy to do. He said the Corporation has to do this in a challenging environment. At the same time that there is a lot of new funding, Congress left the Corporation with a lot of new things that have to get done. The Corporation has to do a much better job on the accountability issues, performance of management, compliance and reporting, rulemaking for AmeriCorps programs, and has to do this with a substantial cut in operational resources. So the Corporation is giving 50% more dollars and doing more overseeing and monitoring of those dollars with less operational capacity as an organization. There are a couple of long-term solutions. One is the Corporation has to do more with less. The second is that the Corporation will need to tum more to state commissions. Certainly with the AmeriCorps program, commissions are what make the programs run. He stated that they have solved the operational shortfall by eliminating some full-time staff equivalents and some tough priority setting. 2 �One of the fascinating phenomenons when you look at AmeriCorps is there is actually more money but it's more competitive this year. Out of every ten state competitive applications, the Corporation is saying yes to four. This is also the same for dollars and slots (four often). Which overall is good news. It will end up pushing the quality of the program higher and taking some of the pressure off the challenge in the national debate to prove the importance of AmeriCorps. One of things that led the Corporation to where they are now around accountability is this feeling that there was no performance. So this means high performance will be rewarded. He also shared that Governor Granholm has set a best practice (which only a few states have done) which is to bring the capacity of volunteering and national service and other social oriented programs to deliver in a couple of well-defined areas. The focus on mentoring and early reading is exactly the right scope. It' s broad enough to include a lot of different program areas yet narrow enough to make a meaningful difference. The Corporation wants to do everything they can to support states that are making smart choices like that and to make assets available for those states. States that are able to articulate those priorities will have a competitive advantage. He congratulated Michigan for doing this. Mr. Eisner also congratulated the Commission on its collaboration and relationship with the CNCS's state office. With the Unified State Plan complete, Michigan is one ofthe top five states. Michigan has integrated the staffCNCS office with the Commission, and also unlike many states, it has also integrated volunteer centers into both the planning process and how it looks at service around the state and Michigan also further integrated education foundations. These four units are working in alignment with your office which bodes well for the future in Michigan and he wishes he could find a way to duplicate that across the country. Chairman Mulhern turned the conversation over to Q&A. Jocelyn Yanda asked if there was one thing Mr. Eisner would like to get done right now what would that be? Mr. Eisner responded by saying he would like to establish a better set of feedback mechanisms. Russ Mawby asked what Mr. Eisner thought was the role of the state commissions, what commissions should be like in the future, and what were his expectations of commissions in the mission of the Corporation? Mr. Eisner stated that an interesting challenge within states is the diversity of opportunities and needs. Another is how do you create enough flexibility that a commission that knows what it's doing is able to proactively assert its state in general. They're able to harness resources in a way that most states can' t and empower to make the kind of funding decisions that could never be done as well in a centralized way. At the same time you build systems that don' t punish the 3 �medium states for not having a commission that reports that voice out. Mr. Eisner sees a future where virtually all funding decisions will be made at the commission level. There is then a series of operational questions. One of the best incentives that we have for commissions to continue to strive and do well is the inherent competition between the commissions for the competitive grants. The bigger states (TX, FL, CA, NY) are lobbying the Corporation to basically to do away with state competitive awards and leave it all under formula. The big states would then get the bulk of the money. But there are some real gems in some of the smaller states and they are receiving a lot more competitive dollars because they are doing incredibly innovative high performing programs. Mr. Eisner said he is going to propose next year that states be required to rank their submissions to the Corporation. If the Corporation knows which ones the states like in a rank order, when they come out of the peer review, they can place a high level of priority to those at the top of the list. It' s going to be tough for the commissions because they are going to have to choose but it's better for the commissions to do it than the Corporation. Commissioners Parker, O'Day and Newport all agreed with this plan. Commissioner Al Swain asked Mr. Eisner ifthere is some sort of national information sharing around collaboration and best practices that other commissions might use as examples or ideas? Mr. Eisner answered by saying the Corporation's strategy so far has been to let the commissioners do the work through (American Association of State Service Commissions (ASC) and Technical Assist to State Commissions (TASC). The Corporation has to do a better job of capturing the information and publishing it. The goal at the Corporation should be to facilitate the commissions coming together to share information and develop peer networks. There then needs to be a productive discussion with commissioners about such issues as what to research. Commissioner Bensen shared his experience with working with the AmeriCorps program and his appreciation for the volunteers that come from the program. Mr. Eisner shared a statistic that 450 members of habitat will manage, train and supervise 150,000 volunteers. That is amazing leverage. Mr. Eisner stated that the Corporation has to do a better job of identifying risk but also not being prejudice to an organization. Any proposal should have some programs that are risky and some that aren't. The Corporation needs to figure out a way to help state commissions identify where the risks are in a way that doesn't turn the Corporation into nay-sayers. Ultimately, the programs that are risky are the ones that the Corporation needs to make themselves available for technical assistance, stronger auditing, more compliance, and oversight with the goal of trying to increase their possibility. He also shared that he didn't think they were having meaningful dialogue with state commissions about where the risks are and how they can better provide resources and work with commissions on their resources. 4 �Mr. Eisner discussed the rulemaking process and stated that the Corporation is in the final stages of submitting the rules to OMB. There is going to be change but that it will be manageable, fair, equitable, and designed to grow the program by ensuring more resources. This will get more AmeriCorps members into more communities. There is also an active role from grantees that are able to give up more costs. The Corporation will also ask the state commissions to do their own sustainability policies. A lot of different pieces of rulemaking were addressed. Mr. Eisner thinks the thing that's going to cause the most issues is around sustainability. Mr. Eisner felt there were two pressing arguments in rulemaking. One is what about the small organizations that may not be able to do what you 're asking. The second is it doesn't matter if these rules are reasonable or not, it is just one slice of the salami, this is the first step. If we don't face this issue right now, next year we'll face a much tougher situation. The goal ofrulemaking is to take these issues off the table. So we're not every year fighting for our lives with the appropriations bill and these policies. From the point of view of the Corporation, the White House and the view of many folks in Congress, this proposal will be what meets to the reforms requested. Mr. Eisner stated that he was not aware of a commission that has as much talent and as focused to the task at hand as Michigan. He also commended the board participation and said that other commissions don't have this kind of participation. He shared that he is interested in the Commission's committee structure. III. Review and Approval of February 9, 2004 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 9, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Young-Welch seconded the motion. A change will be made to the list of Commissioners present to include Tom Watkins. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee - Chairperson Mulhern 1. Review Executive Committee Report Chairperson Mulhern discussed the minutes of the March 17, 2004 Executive Committee meeting which were distributed to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they approved the agenda for the May 24, 2004, MCSC Board Meeting, staff recommendations for funding the 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application and staff recommendations for 2003 CERT Funding. A memo from Kyle Caldwell dated March 18, 2004, outlined the proposals. Chairperson Mulhern gave background on the three areas of the competitive application (new, 5 �renewal, and formula submitted as competitive). He suggested that the Commission might want to establish a "Programmatic Review Committee". If the Corporation changes to a ranking system for applications, we may need to be better educated about the programs and how to rank them. Chairperson Mulhern also suggested that the Commissioners should familiarize themselves with the programs should the time come that the programs need to be ranked. Commissioner Parker asked if the staff currently ranks the AmeriCorps programs. Mr. Caldwell responded by saying that the staff does rank the programs internally but that it is not publicized. Chairperson Mulhern shared that it would be useful for the Commissioners to know who is getting funded and who is not and possibly some historical information. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Executive Committee's actions for funding the 2004 Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive Application and the 2003 CERT Funding. Commissioner Smith moved to approved the motion and Commissioner Comer seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Executive Director Performance Review Process Chairperson Mulhern explained that the Executive Director's performance review will be rolled into the state's new review process and will take place in October. B. Outreach and Communications Committee- Commissioner Pickard Commissioner Pickard shared that the fundraising goal of $100,000 for the Governor's Service Awards has been met and thanked everyone for helping reach that goal. Commissioner Swain suggested that the letters requesting sponsorships be sent out earlier than January. Mary Grill gave an overview ofthe Governor's Service Awards dinner and ceremony which will take place this evening. C. Board Development - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked Commissioners their thoughts on what the Commission should be looking at for new Commissioners (strengths, attributes, connections). Suggestions included mentor expert, John Lore, AmeriCorps alumni, higher education, youth, connection to corporation (Ford, GM, Chrysler), UAW!Union, media representative, faith based, senior programs, and term limited legislators (Rep. Doug Hart). 6 �D. Citizen Corps- Kyle Caldwell Kyle Caldwell gave a brief update on Citizen Corps. He discussed the Citizen Corps funding that was approved by both the Citizen Corps Council and the MCSC Executive Committee. A chart that was included in Commissioners packets shows the distribution of funding. The future strategy is to employ risk in the grant making. Currently it is done on a competitive basis but we need to now look at population density, community risk, and all other factors to move forward with future funding. In order to receive these federal funds, Michigan Citizen Corps had to agree to turn them around in 45 days. So the fastest system we could install was the competitive process. The integrity of the money and what the grantees are doing is sound. "But, looking at the map, you probably wouldn't put these grants where they are based on density but based on the risk." If you look at what they're doing, they're all doing work that is very valuable and necessary. The Governor gave the MCSC/Michigan Citizen Corps a charge to engage and train 15,000 citizens in CERT by the end of the year. Gary Zulinski shared that there are currently 38 Citizen Corps Councils across the state. The Detroit Citizen Corps Council is conducting CERT training in the salt mines and in their local neighborhoods. There is now a council established in each of the eight regions of the state. On the federal level, there is a new program that just started so there are five programs under Citizen Corps (CERT, Neighborhood Watch, VIPS, the new Fire Corps Program, and Medical Reserve Corps). E. Report ofConnectMichigan Alliance- Kyle Caldwell (for John Lore) Mr. Caldwell explained that the Commissioners received a list of all those who supported the CMA endowment campaign and thanked everyone for their support in reaching the goal. V. Executive Directors Report- Kyle Caldwell A. MCSC Goals and update on Mentor Michigan Mr. Caldwell gave an update on the MCSC goals that were established at the September 2003 MCSC board retreat. A full report was distributed to the Commissioners and Mr. Caldwell gave a brief summary. The first major piece of progress regarding Mentor Michigan is a partnership with CNCS for a VISTA program that will focus solely on Mentor Michigan and will work in 10 communities across the state. There 7 �will be 25 members, each charged with recruiting 100 mentors. We hope over the course of three years that they will recruit 7,500 mentor matches through this program. This program is significant because it puts groups on the ground working on Mentor Michigan. The MCSC will work with the ConnectMichigan Alliance, who is the grantor, to get information on what this group is doing. They'll be doing capacity building along with recruitment. It's the first group in the field to get Mentor Michigan up and runrung. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is working with two foundations (Kellogg Foundation and Hudson Webber Foundation) to put resources into the Mentor Michigan initiative. Chairperson Mulhern met with the Kellogg Foundation and discussed the areas ofphilanthropy/volunteerism and youth/education. They have agreed to entertain a proposal from the MCSC. The Commission is looking at a August or September window for that proposal. The MCSC is also working with the Hudson Webber Foundation. They are very excited about looking at recruitment systems and working with Mentor Michigan in Southeast Michigan. The MCSC is going to look at the Mott Foundation, which currently funds the National Mentoring Partnership. The MCSC is also working to develop tracking tools with Greg Roberts from the Governor's Office of Community and Faith Based Initiatives. The Commission is working to put together a data collection system and Mr. Caldwell explained a funnel tracking system that is being developed. The next steps regarding Mentor Michigan will be to develop a tracking system, gamer resources, tighten up communication and coordination and communicate with our stakeholders. Mr. Caldwell discussed the goals for AmeriCorps were to increase/restore the number of AmeriCorps programs, maintain the program support and broaden exposure of program efforts. The MCSC will hear from the CNCS in early summer as to what programs will be funded. The MCSC lost two programs (Oakland University and Branch ISD). Both were going to have issues with the increased match. Mr. Caldwell stated that MCSC would like to increase the AmeriCorps funding to $6 million (we are currently just under $3 million). Ideally if you look at our size, we're still at an average to above average size portfolio. CNCS rulemaking could impact our funding. Mr. Caldwell explained the Unemployment Insurance Requirement relating to AmeriCorps members. Due to a lawsuit, AmeriCorps programs were recently required to pay for unemployment insurance for members. Representative Caswell has enrolled HB 5598 which states that AmeriCorps members are not eligible for unemployment. 8 �The next steps for ArneriCorps include examining quality issues to determine what makes a high quality program. The MCSC is examining Texas which has quality standards that determine high quality, medium quality and low quality programs to see ifthere is a way to apply them in Michigan. The MCSC is preparing a number of new AmeriCorps grantees with training grants to work with those programs to see what they need. This will be used as a learning tool on how to start new programs. Mr. Caldwell shared the goals for Michigan Citizen Corps which was to triple the number of councils (which has been filled), work with existing and new councils to include all Citizen Corps programs, establish a CERT academy and quadruple the number of CERT trainers. There are currently 39 Citizen Corps Councils. There has been $782,400 granted out to the councils. The next steps will be to train and count the number of citizens who are trained in CERT, increase the number of councils, and to examine grant distribution on performance, risk factors and geographic distribution. Mr. Caldwell explained the goal for Volunteer Investment Grants were to re-acquire funds to the previous years' funding levels. We are working with the Senate and Governor's Office. The next steps include working with the Legislature and to encourage grantee involvement. Mr. Caldwell shared the goals for Learn and Serve which were to broaden the leadership and dialogue, secure increased levels of funding, develop innovative partnerships, disseminate research, and development a resource library. Regarding broadening the leadership, the Commission is now represented on the Blue Ribbon Panel on Civic Good of Higher Education, linked to the Governor's Education Summit, has been meeting with local superintendents, and involved with the Michigan Coalition on Civic Education. The MCSC is also seeking Learn and Serve Homeland Security funding. The MCSC is putting together research findings on service learning and MEAP testing. Next steps include expanding the leadership partners to include education associations. Mr. Caldwell shared that there were 150 nominations received for the Governor's Service Awards. There were six categories this year, instead of 13, so progress has been made but more outreach is needed.

The National Service Congressional Caucus is founded in the recognition that the desire of Americans to serve their community and country has increased dramatically in recent years, and that Congress has the ability to enable more Americans to do so. The four Congressmen are committed to moving national service forward as part of the nation's domestic agenda by broadening and deepening existing bipartisan support on Capitol Hill for AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America and the Senior Corps. Through these service initiatives, citizens of all ages work to improve their communities and country. Each Congressman was introduced by an individual who served in his district, and each congressman spoke of his belief in the power of service to change lives and communities. Congressman Shays spoke of his own personal experience in the past and his vision for service moving forward: "As a former Peace Corps volunteer and a fiscal conservative, I believe that national service is one of the wisest investments our government can make. It benefits the recipients and the givers. Volunteers not only address an immediate need, they lead and teach through example, and through that example they learn the value of serving and helping others. In 1993, I was thrilled to be a co-author of the National Community Trust Act, which created the Corporation for National Service. Last year, I was happy to help Save AmeriCorps raise federal funding to historic levels and now I am grateful to be a part of the National Service Caucus, which will help mobilize Congressional support for national service. I look forward to continued work on behalf ofvolunteerism in America." For Congressman Price, the connection between national service and patriotism is clear: " In this post 9-11 world, Americans are looking ahead with a renewed sense of patriotism and an appreciation for community service. I hope this caucus can tap into that spirit by advocating for more opportunities for Americans to give back to their neighborhoods, bringing together those who need help with those who are willing to lend a hand ." -more- �Page 2 of2 National Service Congressional Caucus Kick-off Congressman Osborne expressed his support for service by recognizing the range of ways in which it enriches a community: tutoring and mentoring children, building affordable housing, creating playgrounds and parks, teaching in underserved schools, building trails, caring for elderly and homebound neighbors, providing critical services to low-income citizens and supporting homeland security programs. · "Today, through national service programs such as AmeriCorps and VISTA as well as local service programs, Americans are displaying great leadership by devoting their talents, skills, and expertise to helping their fellow neighbors. As a result, thousands of children, schools, seniors, and communities across our country rely on the services provided by national service programs. It is our duty in Congress, to support these programs and ensure that the necessary resources are available so that national service programs can continue to grow and thrive." When Congressman Ford looks to the future of national service in America, he is also seeing the future of America. "Programs designed to encourage young people to take active roles in national service breed the leaders of tomorrow. By becoming civically active at a young age, the future leaders of America are able to not only gain the skills necessary for effective leadership, but also develop a deep appreciation for the tenets of democracy and freedom. We, as lawmakers, need to do everything possible to encourage young adults to respond to the call to service." The SaveAmeriCorps Coalition welcomed the support for this commitment to government's active and passionate role in helping more Americans serve. #-#-# �Page 1 of2 Federal Advocacy Campaign for Service-Learning Join thousands of service-learning practitioners and supporters mobilizing to support Learn and Serve America. Our Legislative Call to Action The 7,400 organizational and individual members of the National Service-Learning Partnership, call upon President Bush and members of the United States Congress to support a $12 million funding increase for Learn and Serve America , a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service. This will bring Learn and Serve America's total annual budget to $55 million for fiscal year 2005. Federal funding for service-learning has remained constant at $43 million since 1991 . After more than a decade of frozen funding levels, the spending power of $43 million in 1991 is now worth less than $30.7 million in 2004. We know that service-learning practitioners can no longer do more with the same. The Time to Act is NOW: • Tell the Media about the Benefits of Service-Learning to Your Community. As the school year winds down and summer approaches , now is your opportunity to speak up for service-learning. Tell the stories of community organizations and ordinary people who directly benefited from the service provided by students through service-learning . Our goal is to send 500 letters and media advisories to the ed itors and reporters of local newspapers across the country by August 1, 2004. • Qrganize a Service-Learning Experience for Public Officials Nothing is more persuasive than seeing service-learning in action. Elected officials will understand the value of service-learning better when they see it first-hand . Invite your local, state, and/or national public officials to visit your service-learning site; a first important step in this year's $55 in '05 federal advocacy campaign . • Send a Postcard or Letter to Your Cong~erson or Senator. Urge them to support a $12 million dollar increase in Learn and Serve America funding for the 2005 fiscal year. What Will $55 in '05 Mean for YOU? • $3 million in new funding to support a pipeline of service-learning professional activities between http://www.service-learningpartnership.org/advocacy_tools/$55in05.cfm?PrintFriendlv=ves 8/23/2004 �Page 2 of2 schools of education and K-12 teachers and school administrators. • An additional $9 million to help local schools and community groups increase the number of opportunities for young people to learn and serve through service-learning by 25%. • More resources to help minimize the need for out-of-pocket expenses most teachers and community members incur when implementing service-learning . • More state and local service-learning training opportunities for educators and their community partners. Our Gameplan You are critical to our collective success. The Partnership's work on Capitol Hill will not succeed without the active support and involvement of service-learning practitioners and advocates like you. The most important voice of our advocacy campaign is your voice and the individual phone calls , letters, faxes, emails , and other contacts you make with public officials. Your voice is what will capture the attention of policymakers , spark their civic imagination, and inspire them to take action . Our Partners In addition to the over 7,700 Partnership members, we are also joined by our organization campaign partners-- American Youth Policy Forum , Campus Compact, National Youth Leadership Council, Youth Service America, and the State Education Agency K-12 Service-Learning Network. We thank them for their support.
