Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Deputy Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Staff Recommendations for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants, Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow Grants and Learn and Serve- Michigan Grants DATE: December 16, 2002 Dire~ Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants For FY 03, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has $780,100 available compared to the original $1 million dollars to support Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants. The reduction in the amount of funds available is a result of the state budget cuts. We initially believed that $857,300 would be the allocated amount for FY 03 but additional budget cuts have been made leaving us with $780,100. In September, the MCSC issued the Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants application guidelines. All former and existing grantees received the guidelines. In addition, the MCSC sent a copy of the guidelines to all of the Community Foundations, United Ways, Volunteer Centers, and Michigan Campus Compact affiliates. The applications were due to the MCSC on November 12, 2002. We received 16 applications requesting $837,095. The applications were peer reviewed on November 22, 2002. The peer reviewers recommended 13 of the applications for a total of$759,095. The staff reviewed the applications and is recommending 12 applications be funded in the amount of$659,095. The staff did not recommend that the Volunteer Center of Northwest Michigan be funded based on the overall quality of the application. Recommendation #1 The staff recommends funding for the following applicants at their requested level pending satisfactory completion of application revisions: �Applicant Requested Amount Albion Volunteer Service Organization Greater Ottawa Co. United WayNolunteer Ctr. Heart of West Michigan United WayNol. Ctr. Hillsdale County United Way Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center United Way of Chippewa County United Way Volunteer Connections University of Michigan- Flint Volunteer Center ofBattle Creek Volunteer Center of Otsego County Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan Volunteer Muskegon Total Recommended Amount $50,000 $50,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $34,095 $34,095 $60,000 $60,000 $45,000 $45,000 $25,000 $25,000 $25,000 $25,000 $100,000 $100,000 $25,000 $25,000 $60,000 $60,000 $35,000 $35,000 $659,095 $659,095 Recommendation #2 The staff does not recommend funding for the following applicants: Applicant Requested Amount Recommended Amount Dickinson Volunteer Services $25,000 $0 United Way and Volunteer Center of Clare County $28,000 $0 Volunteer Center ofMid-Michigan $25,000 $0 Volunteer Center ofNorthwest Michigan $100,000 $0 Total $178,000 $0 To date, the MCSC has $121 ,005 of unallocated funds for FY03. Therefore, we will conduct a second application process immediately and present the staff funding recommendations at the 2 �February board meeting. Michigan 's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows For FY 2003, the MCSC has $155,400 in CNCS funding to support 13 Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows for Michigan's Communities of Promise. Given that FY 2003 is the last year of the Promise Fellow Program, the MCSC decided that only 2002 operating sites would be eligible for funding in FY 2003. The application guidelines were sent to all eligible applicants in September. A total of six applications were received on November 8, 2002 requesting a total of $128,150 to support 11 fellows . The MCSC staff conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions. All revisions were due to MCSC on November 27, 2002. All revisions were reviewed and the MCSC staff makes the following recommendation: Staff Recommendations Renewal Applicants Thesa tff recommends renewa1 fund'mg, at the request ed amountfior thfill e o ow app.rtcant s: Legal Applicant Funding #of Fellows Funding Requested Requested Recommended Alpena District Health Department 4 $46,000 $46,000 Capital Area Youth Alliance $11,650 $11,650 1 City of Grand Haven 1 $11,650 $11,650 $34,950 Ionia County Intermediate School $34,950 3 District $11,650 $11 ,650 Pathways to Healthy Living 1 $11,650 United Way ofMontcalm 1 $11,650 $128,150 $128,150 11 Total Learn and Serve -Michigan Community-Based Program The MCSC has approximately $120,000 in unallocated funds to support community-based service-learning. At the MCSC board retreat in September, the Learn and Serve work group recommended the staff consider funding youth serving organizations with broad-based coverage throughout the state to implement service-learning throughout their various networks. The MCSC approached the YMCA of the USA and Michigan State University 4- H Extension about this idea since they both have had significant experience with community-based service-learning. The staff felt it was important to pilot the concept of providing larger grants to state-wide youth serving organizations. Both organizations were receptive to the idea. The YMCA ofthe USA will be submitting their application in January. MSU 4- H submitted their application on December 9, 2002. Please see the appendix for a description of the proposed program. Upon review of the MSU 4 - H application, the MCSC staff makes the following recommendation: 3 �The staff recommends provisional funding, at the requested amount for the follow applicant: Applicant Requested Amount Recommended Amount Michigan State University- 4H Extension $50,000 $50,000 Total $50,000 $50,000 Provisional funding is being recommended because the MCSC has requested that the applicant submitted a revised application. The revised application is due on December 20, 2002. The staff will review the revised application. Assuming the applicant addresses all of the revisions, they will be awarded the grant. School-Based Program Last year the MCSC approved a grant of$27,000 to Learning to Give, sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations, to develop a comprehensive program to integrate Learning to Give into each school district in Muskegon County. The goal is to have each school district in Muskegon County teaching Learning to Give lessons at each grade level within a three-year period. Learning to Give submitted a renewal application in the amount of $27,000 to continue to the implementation of the district-wide program. Please see the appendix for a description of the proposed program. Upon review of the application, the MCSC staff makes the following recommendation: The staff recommends renewal funding, at the requested amount for the follow applicant: Applicant Requested Amount Recommended Amount Learning to Give $27,000 $27,000 Total $27,000 $27,000 �Appendix - Program Descriptions Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants Normally, we would provide a paragraph description for each applicant that is being recommended for funding. Given the nature of the Michigan 's Volunteer Investment Grant Program all grantees are required to do the same thing. Therefore, a general paragraph describing the program is offered. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) are granted to community-based nonprofit organizations that designate and support an agency to function as a volunteer resource center. VIG's are used to establish local endowment funds that will support community volunteer activities in perpetuity. Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants range from $25,000 to $100,000 and require match funds. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants meet three goals: 1. The grants support and increase volunteerism and community service initiatives in local communities. 2. The grants leverage local funds for permanent agency endowments housed within a community foundation that will help sustain the activities of a community volunteer resource center. 3. The grants encourage, facilitate, and enhance community partnerships that support volunteerism. Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow Program Normally, we would provide a paragraph description for each applicant that is being recommended for funding. Given the nature of the Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow Program all grantees are required to do the same thing. Therefore, a general paragraph describing the program is offered. Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows are committed individuals who serve throughout the state to build a better future for Michigan's youth. Promise Fellows are placed in Communities of Promise and help bring the Five Promises of America's Promise- mentor, protect, nurture, teach, serve- to local children. Over the course of one year, each fellow will be expected to: • • • • • • • • provide 155 youth with all Five Promises, provide 155 youth with at least one of the Five Promises, develop local resource materials and update the community inventory of serves for youth, convene (at a minimum) quarterly meetings of all local partners supporting the local Community of Promise activities, hold one local issue-based forum for each Community of Promise, gamer at least five new or expanded commitments in support of the Five Promises, identify and involve five new or expanded partners for the local Community of Promise, and recruit at least 50 individuals to volunteer their time in support of the five Promises (in smaller communities, sites may opt to recruit 25 individuals that make significant time commitments in support of the five promises). 5 �Each of these applicants have had at least one year of experience with the program, and have developed significant capacity towards America' s Promise in their local Communities of Promise. Learn and Serve- Michigan Community-based Program $50,000 Michigan State University 4-H Extension The Michigan State University Extension 4-H Youth Development initiative will engage 150 4H staff in training on the methods of community-based service-learning. 100 teens will also be trained and will then provide a total of 5,000 hours of service-learning in their communities. The initiative will provide access to information about community-based service-learning to approximately 10,000 youth and adults in all 83 Michigan counties through service-learning activities, state and regional training and dissemination of educational information via traditional and electronic media. Learn and Serve -Michigan School-based Program Learning to Give- Council of Michigan Foundations $27,000 Learning To Give (LTG) sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) seeks $27,000 in grant support from the Michigan Community Service Commission to infuse the teaching of philanthropy and the use of service-learning into the core academic curriculum of Muskegon County K-12 schools. The grant will support an instructional consultant based at the Muskegon County Intermediate School District (MISD), who will be involved with teacher professional development, onsite consultation, classroom material support, coaching, and assisting classroom teachers to implement their own evaluations of the project. The proposal intends to build the practice of service-learning so that it occurs at each grade level each year. It will serve as a test model for the delivery of service-learning coordination/consultation at the ISD level. 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This is our opportunity to provide our Executive Director with both encouragement on successful achievements and constructive suggestions for improvement. To accomplish this task I've enclosed a perfom1ance evaluation rating fom1 that is designed to collect information in several administrative, supervisory and personal areas. Please complete the form and forward it to me in the pre-addressed envelope by March 10, 2003. This information will be compiled and shared with our Executive Director prior to our next Commission meeting. Your individual ratings and comments will remain confidential. Your feedback wi 11 be aggregated into one summary report that will be included in our Executive Director's personnel file. It will not, however, be used to consider compensation or advancement as this is the responsibility of the State Civil Service System. If you have questions or thoughts regarding this process, please feel free to give me a call at (269) 731-4638. Thanks for your support and cooperation. I look forward to seeing you at our next Commission meeting. 6~~ Russ}~y Chair~:~gan Community Service Commission Enclosure �Survey#: _ __ MCSC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATING FORM February, 2003 Please evaluate the performance of the MCSC Executive Director in each of the areas listed below.

GRANHOLM , Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing , Michigan 48913 Telephone: 517.335.4295 FAX: 517 .373.4977 www.michig an.gov/mcsc Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: February 7, 2003 RE: Executive Director's Report IC/v State and federal budget matters are the primary concerns to the efforts of the MCSC, yet staff continues on our original course of providing support to our national and community service grantees and the volunteers they engage. Still, we must examine the pressures looming over our work as the sluggish economy and the pending threat of war in Iraq conspire to starve the state and federal govemment revenue streams. While not dwelling on these pressures, this report will provide a financial context for the cun·ent operating envi ronment and share some of the tremendous efforts of our programs. Great Staff We are extremely fortunate to have a dedicated and hard-working staff. They have held up well under the pressure of transition and budget cuts. Many commissions across the country are experiencing tumover in staff and leadership and are struggling. You can be proud ofthe fine work your staffhas done in support of our state's volunteer community. That is not to say that the MCSC does not experience change. Our own Liz Scully is moving west to Colorado in April. Liz was an America's Promise Fellow with us prior to joining our staff full-time as a training and communications coordinator. She has served her community and her state admirably and we will miss her. It should be noted that a lot of what we now see on the MCSC website is Liz's work. Thank you, Liz! Also, Jessica Swindell, our America's Promise Fellow for this year, completed her term of service and is moving to Boston. Jessica did a great job supporting the work of the Communities of Promise in Michigan �and working on the transition of our Promise effort to the ConnectMichigan Alliance. We will miss her, but wish her well! AmeriCorps One of Michigan' s AmeriCorps members was asked to join First Lady Laura Bush at the President's State of the Union Address. Letmy Compton is a member of the AmeriCorps Oakland program, a full time college student completing his second year as an AmeriCorps member. As part of his service, Lenny tutors students in grades 1-3 in reading and writing at a Pontiac elementary school. He also works at PATH (Pontiac Area Transitional Housing), providing academic help to children in their after school program. CNN and local radio stations interviewed Lenny about his expenence. We are currently working to craft our AmeriCorps application for 2004 funding. Initial demand for funding next year exceeded $8 million. Staff is reviewing proposals for formula and competitive funding. We are currently considering more than 28 AmeriCorps proposals requesting $8,188,463 for 926 members (520 full-time and 406 part-time or reduced part-time). The current projected FTE rate (the CNCS standard for grant lin1its and efficiency is $12,800) is $12,311. These numbers will likely change as the application process proceeds and modifications are made to the various applications. The enrollment freeze remains in place and will continue until the Corporation for National and Community Service is able to reconcile the commitments and resources in the National Service Trust (the trust created to support the Education Awards). There is more provided on this issue in the later portion of this report that focuses on the federal budget. Learn & Serve - Service-Learning In addition to working with our 4 7 Learn and Serve School- and Community-based grantees and six CHESP communities, the staff convened the Service-Learning Youth Committee (SLYC)--students involved with the programs we fund--to put together their agenda for the year. SLYC members will create service projects and speak publicly about how service-learning works. RMC research has provided their preliminary data on research the MCSC commissioned on the potential links between service-learning and MEAP scores. The very preliminary indications are somewhat surprising in that the traditional models we often site as successful uses of service-learning (i.e. environmental programs focusing on science) were not examples cited as making statistically significant impacts on MEAP scores. Staff will more closely examine this research for indicators of future research agendas . �State Farm Insurance has contacted the MCSC to discuss ways that it can advance service-learning in Michigan . State Farm Insurance supports service-learning and youth service nationally through its Excellence in Education program that comprises nine focus areas to help students achieve and become productive members of society. As an initial step, State Fmm has sponsored ten teachers to attend the 7111 Annual Institute on Service-Leaming at Central Michigan University on February 13 - 14. The MCSC is partnering with the Michigan Campus Compact to host the Institute on Service-Learning. The Institute brings together faculty, staff, students, and administrators from around the country to share service-learning ideas, practices, and theory. Our own Tom Watkins, Superintendent for the Michigan Department of Education, will be a featured speaker along with a number of national education experts. The Service-Leaming Work Group met via conference call with the MCSC staff to discuss the future ofLeam & Serve programming in Michigan. The members discussed the need for a new three-year plan to tap the Leam & Serve funding, the current and future relationship with the Michigan Department of Education, and primary goals for the fuhrre of service-leaming in Michigan. The members agreed that the staff should focus on providing funding to take service-leaming "deeper" into schools and districts, gathering data that can communicate the effectiveness of servicelearning, and developing more champions who can extol the program. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) This is the MCSC's only program funded solely on State of Michigan funds. As such, it is the program at greatest risk in light of the state budget woes. Initially the VIG provided $1 million annually for endowments to support volunteer centers. Today, that total annual appropriation has shrunk to $659,095. In addition, grm1t agreements for approved funding are being withheld by the Michigan Department of Career Development (our fiscal agency) in anticipation of the budget cuts the Govemor will be calling for in an executive order due out next week. This is providing a serious challenge for volunteer centers. These grantees are required to endow their match prior to receiving the state funds. Some have already transferred what might normally have been used as operational dollars to their endowments in hopes of using the state funds for day-to-day operational expenses. We are making every effort to communicate with grantees on this hold and hope that the budget axe will spare this program from catastrophic reductions. Fede ral Budget Congress remains unable to agree on a final budget for the current fiscal year (which will end on September 30, 2003). As of the date of this report, Congress passed another continuing resolution (an agreement to continue funding the federal govemment at the previous year's numbers) that will expire on Friday, February 7, 2003 . A conference committee (representatives from both the House and the Senate) is �, suppose to work out an agreement on an omnibus spending bill that was passed by the Senate last month that must now be reconciled with the House. It is expected that some $15 million of Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) funding will be transferred from programming funds to the Educational Trust in hopes of making up for the shortfall that has initiated the current AmeriCorps enrollment freeze . We still do not know if this will be sufficient to cover the short fall as we still do not know the actual scope and financial figures for the Trust (i.e. How many members are enrolled at what cost, how much is cunently in the Trust, and what is the gap between comn1itments and resources?). We are told by the CNCS that there is enough funding to cover current enrollees, but not enough for any additional members- the rationale behind the current enrollment freeze . Debate continues on how the Congress will proceed. One theory speculates that the Congressional conference committee will come to an agreement by the February i 11 deadline. That is an optimistic view. The second theory holds that Congress will pass another continuing resolution and try to work out the budget conference committee differences. This is more in line with recent past practice. The third, and more alam1ing theory posits that the Congress will pass a seven-month continuing resolution that ties the entire federal government to last year's figures . This is alam1ing to national service because that would mean that the enrollment freeze would continue to the end of the fiscal year as the CNCS is not able (statutorily) to transfer funds from operations or programming line items to the Trust. For the next fiscal year, the picture is a little better. The President's 2004 budget (October 1, 2003 , to September 30, 2004) calls for an increase in the number of AmeriCorps members to 75,000, an increase of $45 million to the National Service (Education Award) Trust and an increase in program support funding to VISTA programs. Unfortunately, the President's budget calls for a decrease in program funding for AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and essentially flat lines funds available for state commission and CNCS operations. Learn & Serve funding is also flat funded at $43 million- the same figure that has been appropriated for the past seven or more years . High pressure will be placed on states and local grantees to bring on more AmeriCorps members with fewer program and operating dollars. Congress and the Whitehouse will take up this budget proposal once the crisis over the current federal budget is concluded. Office of the Inspector General Audit The MCSC staff continues to gather infonnation to close out our federal audit by the Inspector General (OIG) for the Corporation for National and Community Service. As I mentioned to you in my email, the OIG has issued a report on the current status of our audit that states that only 2.2% of the total funding examined is being questioned. Questioned means that either the funding expenditures are not documented or that their use was not in accordance with their regulations. The vast majority of the 2.2% has been documented, but not in time for the report. We are working to document the remaining grantee expenditures and enrollment records. The important item to note is �, that there were no system weaknesses noted. Having said that, we are still examining our current systems to ensure that we are improving our oversight and monitoring techniques. State of Michigan Budget Governor Granholm is expected to announce her budget for fiscal year 2004 in March, but she is also expected to issue an executive order this month spelling out cuts that will be necessary to deal with the current year's shortfall. No organization is being spared consideration according to the Governor' s Office. The MCSC has been tapped for a number of different potential cuts including the funding for the Volunteer Investment Grants and the Tobacco Settlement Funds channeled to the Council of Michigan Foundations for local community foundations to conduct programs targeting youth and senior health issues. So far our ArneriCorps, Learn & Serve, and operational dollars from the CNCS have been unaffected since these are federal dollars. However, the MCSC cannot maintain those federal funds if we are not able to provide the match necessary to apply for and draw down those funds . The MCSC currently only receives just under $1.8 million in State of Michigan funds . These funds leverage (allow us to gamer) $7 .2 million in federal funds. This is a large return on the state's investment and excludes the value of the service our volunteers provide to local communities. It will be important for the Michigan Legislature to understand the importance and value of this investment. State of the State On Wednesday February 5, 2003 , Governor Granholm delivered her first State of the State Address. Related to the work of the MCSC, the Governor calls for: Citizen Engagement "Our citizen engagement is undeniable. Unemployment is up, but that didn't stop nearly 85 percent of our fellow citizens from giving to a charity in the last year. The stock market has been battered for over two years, yet during that time, Michiganians created some 200 new charitable foundations - finding new ways to solve old problems. And more than a third of our fellow citizens found time to voltmteer last year, building webs of community and striking a spark of hope for those in shadowy comers." Foundation Involvement "Finally, I will ask Michigan's foundation c01mnunity, which has already supported important work on this issue [early childhood education and school preparedness] in our state, to do even more. We are grateful to our foundations for the support they have given the Ready to Succeed Pminership, the organization that has spearheaded the creation of early childhood learning coalitions across our state. And I know their commitment to this issue remains strong." �Volunteers Helping in Early Readiness "Our youngest adults hold the greatest hope, and we will tap their energy, also . We will team high schools with early childhood centers to supply volunteers to read to children for a half an hour a day. It's already being done in districts like Traverse City and it's coming soon in places like Kent and Wayne Counties." Mandatory Service as Requirement for Graduation "In the coming months, I will ask all of our school districts to volunteer to make 40 hours of community service a requirement for graduation from their high schools. We want to raise young people who embrace service to others as a way oflife." Homeland Security and Citizen Preparedness "I will create the position of Advisor for Homeland Security within the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to more directly link our security efforts here in Michigan with the country's defense preparations in Washington. We will be ready to answer the nation's call to service at a moment's notice." The task before the staff and commissioners is to find links between the existing and future MCSC initiatives and the Governor's agenda. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GRANHOLM, GOVERNOR Inaugural Address January 1, 2003 Governors Engler and Blanchard, Senators Levin and Stabenow, Lt. Governors Posthumus and Cherry, elected officials, my fellow Michiganians. We mark our lives with singular moments at which we stop and wonder. 46 years and 20 centuries ago, Julius Caesar rearranged the calendar and decreed that the new year would begin on this day, the first of January, named for the god Janus. To mark the occasion, Romans gave a new year's gift of a coin with Janus' mythic head. Janus, you see, had two faces-- one looking back, the other looking forward. Today, more than 2000 years later, this is still our new year's tradition: We reminisce. We resolve. We look back and look ahead. The god Janus was the god of entrances--of gates and of doors. Now, as I walk through this door that 44 men have passed through before me - over 167 years of this state's history- I must stop and honor all those who made it possible for me to even reach this door. I give thanks for my parents and my incredible family, my utterly selfless husband Dan, my great teachers, the activists, workers, and citizens who cared and who voted. I pay homage to the brave women and to the just men who blazed the trail to this door. In particular, I bow to those women who showed me how to rap upon its aged wood, who inch by inch cracked the door ajar, who looked in but were denied admittance. I pay respect to all whose faith in democracy, whose belief in equality and humanity cried out: "knock and the door shall be opened." My friends, because of you, the door has been forever opened. And for you young people in front of me, and by you young people, the door must be opened wider still, so that no characteristic -like gender, race, national origin, or religion- will ever again contain the secret codes that allow admission. And now that the door has been opened, my friends, you must come in. All of you. Come in to the halis of government. Come in to the living room of democracy. It is no accident that one of the chambers in our Capitol is called the House of Representatives. The house of government is your house. And the work in your house - in our house - must be the protection of the Michigan family and the education of Michigan' s children. As the Bible says, there are many rooms in my father' s house, and much work to be done, if our elders are to be dignified and our children's hopes magnified. We do not have the luxury of closing the door to anyone's talent. �The door has been opened, so bring in an air of innovation. The door has been opened, so breathe a renewed air of citizen patriotism, duty and service to one another. The door has been opened, so bring in an air of possibility and of hope. The door has been opened, and open it will rem am. Inside those doors of government, we will focus with tenacity on the needs of the Michigan family. We will focus on the grandmother I met in Southfield on Sunday who wonders which of her prescriptions will have to go unfilled. We will focus on the 3rd grade girl who wants to learn but whose potential still lies totally unseen. We will focus on the laid off worker I met in Flint on Saturday, who asks for nothing more than good work to support his family. We will focus on the mentally ill uncle who winds his way in search of shelter on a bitter winter day. And we will focus on the next generations of the Michigan family who look to us to protect our clean water and the unspoiled open spaces of these spectacular peninsulas. Government will be great and it will do great, but it will take much more than government to enhance our quality of life, especially in these tough, tight, trying economic times. It will take all of us working together as a family. And, as a family, I know that you will engage with me in setting our priorities, in deciding what is most vital for the public good. Understand, I am prepared to make the tough decisions, yet the house stands strong when the family thinks, talks, argues, resolves and ultimately works together. Citizenship in a democracy is not a spectator sport, particularly in times as tough as we are in. In his 1961 inaugural address, President John F. Kennedy called our nation to aspire to a new ethic of service. "Ask not what your country can do for you," he so famously said on that cold January day, "ask what you can do for your country." By necessity and because it is right, I will lead in these "Ask not" times. So work with me, my friends. If ten million of us asked what we could do for Michigan, what wonders would our reality hold tomorrow? Within the course of every day lie a thousand opportunities to give your life meaning through service to country and community. What can you do, in Flint or Frankfort, Monroe or Marquette, Kalamazoo, Clare or Kalkaska? What can you do? Answer the call for a new Michigan patriotism. For a local school that lacks the paint or power to fix the front door. For a child whose never been read to. For a senior who has no one to care whether she rises from bed and puts on her clothes. Answer the call, citizen patriots, answer it for your own soul that is made to care, to serve, and to belong. I am particularly asking our young people to lead the way. The young people sitting in this hall today are the future in our very midst. You, my young friends, hold in your hands the power to change the world. So ask not what power will do for you, ask what you will do with your power to impact our world. So now, with the doors of our destiny thrown open wide, I invite you to participate in the bending of history in some purposeful way. You were drawn here today. Someone rapped upon, tapped upon, whispered at your door. Someone, flesh or spirit, said, "Go, you need to be therethis moment, when history is made." Our history- the story that began with our founding �fathers and mothers- beckons to you, right now, and says quite simply, "You matter. Now, what to you shall matter?" What chapter of our history will you now write? I stand before you as living proof that the door is open to every single one of you in this room. Any one of us can get elected, and every one of us can elect to serve this Michigan family. So, like the god Janus, let us look forward with unapologetic dreams and the unblinking determination to fulfill them. Walk with me, talk with me, work with me, to light anew the flame of engagement, of action and of service to our Michigan family. May that flame cast its light in every comer of this our common home ... and may Michigan's flame reflect like a beacon for all of America to follow. Thank you, my fellow patriots, and God bless you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GRANHOLM GOVERNOR OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR LANSING JOHN D . CHERRY, J R. LT . GOVERNOR January 31, 2003 Dear Colleague: As I wrap up my first month in office, I want to thank so many of you for welcoming me to my new role in one of the most important organizations in Michigan. As the State of the State address approaches and I prepare to address the people of this state, it was important to me to first share a few thoughts with all of you, my fellow state employees. As the leader of this team of more than 50,000 people, I am determined that we achieve greatness together. Here is a sense of what you can expect from me and what I expect from you. What we will do together. As Governor, I have laid out a vision for Michigan that focuses on protecting our state's families and educating our children. There is little any of us do as members of t he state government team that doesn't - at least in some way- impact one, or both, of those goals. With limited budget and staff resources , I am committed to making our priorities those services that protect our families and educate our children in the most tangible, direct ways. I have made serious commitments to the people on both counts, and "doing what I say I am going to do" is, for me , the heart of integrity. I cannot accomplish this vision without you. I have been working closely with the directors of all the state's departments to craft a comprehensive set of achievable goals for making our vision a reality. We have developed a list of action items- some of which will affect only your particular department; others will invite you to intensify your level of cross -departmental cooperation. Chief among my commitments to the people of Michigan is ensuring that our state government lives within its means. With an expected $1 .7 billion deficit in FY 2004- almost 20 percent of the state's $8.9 billion general fundwe will have to be enormously creative, disciplined , and hard working to maintain the outstanding service we now provide, and even to improve on what we do. I have begun to look at the Executive Office to find places to reorganize , to defer, and to tighten our belts in ways big and small. We're reusing supplies and letterhead from the previous administration, canceling subscriptions, turning in state cars, and reducing the number of executive office staff. The challenge is great, but we will find opportunities in it. GEORGE W. ROMNEY BUILDING • 111 SOUTH CAPITOL AVENUE • LANSING, MICHIGAN 48909 www.mlchlgan.gov �Page 2 January 31 , 2003 We will need to be creative, and we will need to be vigilant every day. I have asked our department directors to reach out to you, to tap your wisdom, to encourage you to help us manage this crisis, finding solutions and supporting each other in the process. In the coming weeks, I will be announcing a mechanism through which you can directly send us your suggestions for reducing our deficit. The potential savings you identify may allow us to preserve an important job, hire a great young person, and to do the vital things we do for our children, families , seniors, and students. How we will do it. I hope at the end of the next four years you will say, "These were the best four years of my work life." When I took office as the state's Attorney General four years ago, I often said that my most pleasant discovery was the phenomenal staff I had inherited. I find the same is true today. I have been mightily impressed and gratified by the professionalism, dedication, and quality of Michigan's state employees. Whether you serve as a state road inspector, a foste r care worker, an environmental permit reviewer, or a department's receptionist, public service is among the most noble of professions. Your work has not always been easy, and it will be, no doubt, even more challenging going forward. Ours is truly a great organization and , like all great organizations, we will be clear about where we are going - the vision - and about how we will act in getting there - the values. Together, we can make the coming years satisfying and positive if we all work in the following way: • Act with integrity. This means seeing our work as a duty entrusted to us by the citizens of Michigan. We owe them our best. • Be creative and innovative. We must approach old problems in new ways. • Challenge ourselves to excellence, achieving results we will all be proud of. I flat-out reject the notion that the private sector is inherently superior to the public. I know hundreds of extraordinary public servants, and I intend for you to feel proud and to hold your head high when you say, "I work for the State of Michigan." When we do this right, I expect others to be honored to meet you and grateful for your work on their behalf. • Treat each other with respect. Everyone's work matters, regardless of your role within our government. Everyone is a person and deserves respect. GEORGE W. ROMNEY BUILDING • 111 SOUTH CAPITOL AVENUE • LANSING. MICHIGAN 48909 www.mlchigan.gov �Page 3 January 31 , 2003 • Be inclusive in welcoming different people and varied ideas to the decision-making table. • Engage people in our great work, whether that means including citizen input in our policy decisions , treating citizens with the respect due them as our employers, or reaching out in a hundred ways to encourage businesses, churches, non-profits, and just plain folks to join with us in our efforts to make Michigan a great state. Especially in these tough times , we must reach out and involve. Please join me in creating (or further crafting, for I know there is greatness all about me) the best working environment a state government has ever seen. Working together, we'll make Michigan the best place in the country to live, work , and raise a family . Public attention naturally focuses on the leadership, the department directors who make up my cabinet. But in great organizations, everyone leads, everyone feels respected and feels like they have a stake, everyone contributes and feels a sense of ownership. That is what I am after. The most important leaders in any organization are those who create a culture of integrity, creativity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and engagement. You can choose to be one of those leaders. I hope you will. Sincerely, Jennifer M. Granholm Governor GEORGE W.

Mawby, Chair Robert Collier, Vice Chair Michelle Engler Vivian Pickard Meg Smith FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director DATE: January 21, 2003 RE: Summary of January 17,2003 Meeting Commissioners Smith, Collier and Mawby and staff member Caldwell met via conference call on January 17,2003, at 10:00 a.m. Agenda for Winter Meeting Members reviewed the February 10, 2003, meeting agenda and approved its distribution with minor modifications. State of Michigan Executive Branch Transition Commissioner Mawby explained that he and other commissioners including Commissioner Collier made a number of overtures to the Granholm Administration in hopes of demonstrating the value that MCSC can provide to the Governor's agenda. This was especially important in light of her inaugural address that focused on citizen action and citizen service. Mr. Caldwell shared a white paper that spelled out the work of the MCSC and tied much of the MCSC's initiatives to the points articulated in the Governor's address. The members asked that the paper be modified to more strongly emphasize the MCSC's preference with regard to the administrative location of the organization. Commissioner Collier agreed to share the modified version with his contact within the administration. �Performance Review of Executive Director Members present reviewed the process used to annually review the performance of the Executive Director. Commissioners were informed of the process used in the past that was developed by former Commissioner Pruitt and agreed that the process should be continued. Commissioner Mawby agreed to facilitate the process and would work with staff to distribute, collect and analyze the surveys that commissioners will use to provide their feedback. The process will begin at the February 101h meeting. Other Items Commissioners were briefed on the current State of Michigan budget and the challenges facing the new Governor and the Michigan Legislature. The Governor was expected to issue an executive order to deal with projected revenue shortfalls in the current fiscal year. Mr. Caldwell also reviewed the latest progress of the Michigan Citizen Corps initiative, the AmeriCorps enrollment freeze, federal budget and congressional actions taken to date. Two additional executive committee meetings were scheduled to meet the funding approval requirements of our federal grants: February 26, 2003, and June 20, 2003. Both meetings will be held via conference call and will begin at 10:00 a.m. The meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell 1048 Pierpont, Suite L! Lansing , Michigan 4891 :: Telephone : 5 1 7 . 335.429~ FAX: 517.373.49Ti January 23, 2003 'NWW. michigan .gov/mcsr Honorable Jennifer Granholm Governor of Michigan 111 S. Capital Avenue Lansing, Michigan 48909 Dear Governor Granholm: Congratulations on becoming Michigan's 4ih governor and Michigan's first female Chief Executive! I wish you all the best in this new and challenging endeavor. In addition to my best wishes, I would like to tender my resignation as a member of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), and give you the opportunity to make the appointment. I believe so strongly that you, in your commitment to volunteerism and service, will fill this position with someone who will project your leadership in this field, effectively represent your desire to support volunteerism, and forward your philanthropic views into the work of the MCSC. At the same time, I hope, without being too presumptuous, that you would consider the appointment of someone who serves at the highest level within your administration and can most effectively move the work of the MCSC forward. Actually, I hope that Dan will be available, since I know ofhis commitment to service and outstanding leadership abilities. As you may know, I served as the Chair of the MCSC for nine years, and have continued as a member of the Board for the past three years. During that time, I witnessed the power that one individual can make in the life of another through volunteerism. That was why I was quite pleased to be a part of your Mento ring Michigan program, as it aptly demonstrated this power. What I have come to believe, now more than ever, is that volunteerism doesn't just happen. Successful volunteer programs require support, coordination and continuous attention of trained individuals to keep their ~olunteers effectively and meaningfully engaged. Since 1991, the MCSC has supported hundreds of nonprofit organizations that rely on volunteers to meet the needs of local communities. No matter what the issueseducation, public safety, the environment, housing-the MCSC has provided the "people power" to get things done for Michigan. The MCSC has engaged thousands of �Honorable Jennifer Granholm Page2 January 23, 2003 volunteers who have provided services valued at more than $120 million. In addition, the MCSC provided more than $41 million in federal, state and private sector funds to local communities for volunteer initiatives. As the First Lady ofMichigan and chair of the MCSC, I was able to share with others Michigan's leadership in supporting volunteerism at the local, state and national levels. John and I have spoken to other governors through the National Governor's Association about the tremendously effective tool state service commissions can be to governors' policy making. Michigan has also been able to shape some of the nation's leading volunteer initiatives because of its experience and knowledge, including the creation of AmeriCorps, the President's Summit that created America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth, and most recently, the new homeland security program--Citizen Corps. The MCSC's ability to provide leadership to these initiatives has given Michigan communities an advantage in tapping resources and information to strengthen their volunteer efforts. I hope you agree that Michigan's leadership role should be maintained, and that the MCSC is a great way for your administration to enact your call to citizen action. Michigan's governors have had a long history of supporting volunteer efforts including the late Governor George Romney, but it is only within the last decade that governors across the nation have had state service commissions to further their own philanthropic interests. In California, Governor Davis has been able to move on initiatives like mentoring, homeland security and education initiatives all through the California Commission. In the state of Washington, Governor Locke has leveraged more than $13 million annually to help in forestry programs, rural education initiatives and Native American Fishery programs. In Mississippi, the commission supports the state's largest teacher recruitment program by engaging college students in pre-teacher certification activities. These are all due to their recognition of the power of their service commissions. Please do not interpret my resignation as any sign of unwillingness on my part to support your call to citizen service. In fact it is quite the opposite. I remain willing, as always, to continue to serve Michigan' s citizens. I am certain, however, that the only way for the MCSC to succeed in support of your agenda is for you to have the ability to appoint your greatest champion for volunteerism. Thankyou and Godspeed to you and your family as you embark on your journey as ITbvei-n.orf � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Speaker Johnson , Democratic Leader Byrum, Majority Leader Sikkema, Democratic Leader Emerson and the members of the state Senate and House; Chief Justice Corrigan and the members of the judiciary, Attorney General Cox, Secretary of State Land, President Straus and the members of the Board of Education , colleagues and friends: Good evening . It has been said that "only challenge produces the opportunity for greatness .": So, Michigan, we are challenged , and this is our time for greatness. In the face of challenge, I relish Michigan's chances for greatness because I am convinced of the tremendous power of the Michigan spirit. Some might wonder whether there can be a single unifying "Michigan spirit" - when we 've got Spartans and Wolverines , Detroiters and Grand Rapidians and Yoopers , Muslims and Jews and Sikhs and Catholics and Protestants, with hunters and hikers , factory workers and philosophers, Ford and GM and Chrysler, Hayworth and Steelcase and Herman Miller, and John Engler and me . In the face of such brilliant diversity, this is our common spirit: Michigan is driven by hard work and innovation that builds wider and stronger bonds of community. We Michiganians came here to work and we are unafraid of working hard . People don 't move here to gamble, lie on the beach, play the stock market, compete ruthlessly or live the easy life. Our Michigan spirit mirrors our classic American one : This is a place of traditions, a wholesome place to raise a family, a place where hard work and good work done well is admired and rewarded. And Michigan doesn 't just work hard, we work smart. We innovate. We explode with creativity. The Mich igan spirit of innovation has spurred thousands of dreams into reality . Teenagers belting out catchy harmonies in West Grand Boulevard basements created the soundtrack of our nation. Kids who sketched Corvettes and T-Birds in school notebooks are today engineering the hybrid vehicles of this century . But nowhere does our spirit soar higher than when hard work is united with innovation -to build stronger bonds of community. Fifty years ago, Michigan took an incredible stand when it triumphed in a challenge of extraordinary political , economic, architectural and physical dimensions . In 1953, the state issued nearly $100 million in bonds so work could begin on a bridge- the Mighty Mac- that would join the two peninsulas of our one state . Today, most of us cannot imagine a Michigan without it. Fifty years ago, almost no one could imagine a Michigan with it. The Bridge literally arose from citizen vision that extended far beyond what politicians and bureaucrats thought achievable . It was built with a magnificent mix of bold design, artistry, courage and sheer ironworker skill. There is no greater symbol of our belief in One Michigan , and no greater testament to the strength of our Michigan spirit. http ://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font... Page 2 of 9 Today , our spirit is being tested in new ways. We boldly wrestle with a competitive and often heartless beast called the global economy. Our country is endangered by terrorists . Our elders are struggling to maintain the dignity they earned after a lifetime of hard work and contribution. Too many children are roughed up instead of built up for this rough world . And Michigan's spectacular natural environment itself is under assault. These dangers outline the challenge of our time , and call anew for the greatness of our Michigan spirit. And in the face of these dangers , I bel ieve the spirit of selflessness , of community in our state has never been stronger. Our citizen engagement is undeniable. Unemployment is up , but that didn't stop nearly 85 percent of our fellow citizens from givi ng to a charity in the last year. The stock market has been battered for over two years , yet during that ti me, Michigan ians created some 200 new charitable foundations- finding new ways to solve old problems . And more than a th ird of our fellow citizens found time to volunteer last year, building webs of community and striking a spark of hope for those in shadowy corners . Today my fellow citizens , I submit to you that whi le the state of our budget is weak, the state of our Michigan spirit is strong . And we will accomplish great th ings through this challenge . The Michigan spirit will propel us forward , and we will progress toward the goals that matter most to Michigan 's people . We will educate our children and we will protect the well-being of our families , despite the budget crisis . Together, we will have to work hard . We will have to innovate, and we will have to act as one community- especially right here in this building . I applaud the Republican leadership of Senator Sikkema and Speaker Johnson for their willingness to work with th is Democrat and Michigan 's Democrats, to move beyond partisanship , faction , friction and ego to achieve common ground . We were elected as Democrats and Republicans , but we serve as Michiganians and Americans. Together, we have inherited one of the most severe budget crises this state has ever known . Th is year the total state budget is $285 million short. I have already asked my department directors to cut their budgets by at least 4 percent and I am as ki ng the Legislature to pass an Executive Order that will carve $158 million from the General Fund budget right now to bring us into balance. Unfortunately, the current school budget crafted last year and based on last year's assumptions has now also come up short. Michigan law requires that our school budget be balanced ... and with good reason . Two weeks ago, the law forced a $127 million cut in school aid. A cut to education is a cut to the heart- to this heart. It was painful , even if mandated by law. The General Fund budget problem we inherit for the budget year ahead is $1 .7 billion . Just how much is $1 .7 billion? Let me give it to you straight. We cou ld close every prison in the state and still not have enough to close the gap . Or, we could close every Secretary of State's office , shut down the Mich igan State Police , lock up every State Park, cut out the entire Legislature , shut down the Attorney General's Office, and shut down the Departments of Ag riculture, Mil itary and Veterans Affairs , Environmental Qual ity, and Natural Resources . . . and still not close the gap . In other words, some twenty percent of the services we now provide through the General Fund budget we cannot afford . It will not be easy, but in March I wi ll present a balanced budget. The fiscal year 2004 budget will ensure that our government lives within its means , but it will have to cut deep to do so . We wi ll work to protect what matters most, but every department, every agency, every local government and every citizen will feel the scale of this problem . You are all invited to be part of the solution . How did we get here? Quite simply, we cut taxes but not spending , and we continue to spend more than we take in . That must stop. You can use your MasterCard to pay your Visa bill , and even transfer that balance to your Discover card , but eventually the bill will come due. Today is Michigan 's due date and we , the Michigan fam ily, must make tough choices to pay the bill and balance the budget. Though I did not create this problem, I will see that we fi x it. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3 ">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 3 of 9 How will we do it? By doing what every Michigan fam ily does when times are tough. We will work harder, cut waste and tighten our belts. We will save every dollar, and we will invest in the things that really matter. We have already started . In my first month on the job, I directed the Department of Management and Budget to review every state contract for cost overruns and potential cost savings. I will direct the Administrative Board -which signs-off on state purchases- to hold up contracts that represent a major expense . And I have asked my Department Directors to cut every contract with an outside vendor by at least 7 percent. I am cutting the fleet of state vehicles by 1 ,000 cars , calling in cell phones and credit cards, stopping subscriptions , co lor copying and pay stub mailings. I have directed each state agency to use up every pad of paper, and sheet of stationery in existence , even if my predecessor's name is on them . I don't need them to say "Granholm." I need them to say that we're giving the taxpayers a frugal government. In these first five weeks on the job , I have focused my attention on the budget, but I have not been consumed by it. Already we have done great work for the people of Michigan. We are giving our citizens a diverse government. I have appointed a cabinet that reflects the true face and the vast mind of Michigan. It is white , black, Asian and Hispanic. It is female and male, freshfaced and veteran . It draws from city and suburb and farm, east and west, north, south and central. We have recruited the best, whether Democrats, Republicans or Independents. And although I'm certain they are all well fed, I know they hunger for change. Diversity gives birth to great creativity. An honored workforce brings forth dedication. Michigan state employees are Michigan 's unsung heroes- men and women who quietly toil to keep the wheels of government turning in good times and bad . Often , the people who know best how to meet a challenge are those who face it on the frontline . We do not see our state employees as the part of the problem, but they are at the heart of the solution . We will aggressively seek their intelligence and input. And they have my deep thanks for giving more in these times of scarcity . I have reached out to engage our citizens with their government. Citizens are providing input through a Medicaid summit on how to repair our broken Medicaid system. Citizens are providing input in Flint through a community summit on how to repair a bruised city. And tomorrow morning, I will officially open to the citizens a Governor's Constituent Services division on the ground floor of the Governor's office . Every month , I will hold office hours so citizens can come and share your ideas directly with me . Later this February, I will go on the road to tell it to you straight and to ask citizens for their input on balancing our busted budget. But let me be very clear, my fundamental message tonight is that we will cut the size of government, and we will move to greatness. The challenge we face is not unique. Whether your business is a titan in the global market or a sub shop in the local mall, you struggle with the double demand; cut costs and improve your products and services. State government is no different. We are fortunate that our business community is answering the call to serve : American Axle , Arvin Meritor, Butzel Long, Delphi , Strategic Staffing Solutions and Visteon have all committed to loan top executives to our state departments to serve full-time as a team of Bureaucracy Busters . They will help us streamline, root out waste and find creative ways to do the people's work. I thank them for their citizen patriotism . But enough about cutting . I'll present a budget message to you in March . Let us turn tonight to what together we can accomplish in spite of the budget. First, we must grow our economy. Last year, Michigan lost 59,000 jobs and we rank in the bottom quarter of all states in terms of personal income growth . Though no state can completely escape the effects of a national economic downturn, Michigan can't afford to wait for federal policy or a national trend to lift our boat. We must do that job ourselves. To this end, I have committed my Administration to create a Technology Tri-Corridor. We will position Michigan to lead the world in the development of the technology-based industries likely to dominate http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3">Michigan : Greatness through Challenge</font... Page 4 of 9 the world economy in this new century. The Corridor will focus new technology business recruitment and development in three critical areas : the life sciences, the automotive industry and the emerging homeland security sector. Already, our Life Sciences Corridor has nurtured the development of cutting edge bio-technology firms and made our state a leader in this important new field . The same emphasis can help us build on our automotive heritage , and grow businesses that keep our citizens, state and country safe. Last week the President committed the federal government to the development of fuel cell powered cars within a generation . As your Governor, I make my own commitment- not only will we build those cars in Michigan , our Automotive Technology Corridor will help develop the fuel cell technology those cars will run on . Wayne Gretzky once offered this advice: "Skate to where the puck is going , not to where the puck is ." My colleagues, the puck is going toward the goal of homeland security, the third sector in the TriCorridor. And Michigan needs to get there quickly - literally to "capitalize" by growing businesses in an area of emerging and critical need . Three economic strengths , three technology corridors. We will use Michigan 's financial power as leverage to bring investment capital to the Tri-Corridor. Today some 240 private investment funds do business with the State of Michigan . Our State Treasurer, Jay Rising , is now telling those fund managers that they'll get more of our business if they make sound investments in our Technology Tri-Corridor. Make no mistake, no one will out-work me, out-run me or out-hustle me when it comes to keeping or bringing good jobs to this state . And I won 't do it alone. In the coming weeks I will ask some of our state's leading business people, labor leaders and economists to serve on my Council of Economic Adv isors . The mission of th is Council will be crystal clear: find ways to ensure that Michigan leads the nation in private investment and job growth . I am pleased that Lansing 's results -driven mayor, David Hollister, has joined us to head a consolidated , streamlined state Department of Labor and Economic Growth . Our goalreplicate his success at revitalizing Lansing in the other urban centers across our state . And we want to create cool cities , hip places to live and work. Perhaps the single most important key to economic development is the one that opens the doors to learning in the minds of our young ones today. In the knowledge economy, business and education are linked ; you cannot succeed at the former if you do not excel at the latter. I assure you , educational excellence will be my number one priority . We will begin with Project Great Start -a broad movement to increase learning in the critical years from birth to age five- because education must begin at birth . Scientific research on the brain is clear: By the time a child arrives for kindergarten , 85 percent of the brain is developed . If the brain is purposefully stimulated and nurtured before a child is old enough to tie his or her shoes , that child 's lifelong capacity to learn will be forever enhanced . And , unfortunately, if it is not, an opportunity is lost forever. The challenge to completely shift our thinking to seize this incredible opportunity is immense. Let the immensity of this shift not deter us, but stir us to concerted action . Project Great Start will link people and institutions all across our state with a common strategy- and uncommon imagination -to achieve a common purpose . Project Great Start will make a huge difference in the lives of our children if we do two th ings and do them well. First, we must focus on educating new parents- before their baby is born , in the maternity ward , at http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3 ">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font. .. Page 5 of 9 check-ups and later at home . No one wants to be a bad parent, but not everyone understands what it takes to be a good one, particularly when it comes to stimulating and nurturing the supple minds of young children . Second , we need to read to children . Educators insist that if we read to every child under the age of five for just one half-hour every day, the change would be revolutionary, the educational achievement in our schools would skyrocket. That simple half-hour act repeated over these five preschool years amounts to a full year of school, and it doesn't cost one cent. Already, many of our Intermediate School Districts are deeply involved in these early childhood education activities and they're making great strides . As I submit my budget, I will ask all 57 of these county-wide and multi-county districts to re-define their mission: to recognize that education begins at age zero; to find ways to educate parents; and to make sure our young children are read to for a halfhour each day . At the same time, I will ask each and every state department that impacts the lives of our children to come together to form the Children's Action Network so that we can coordinate departmental policies to support our parental education and child reading goals . As we engage the full weight of the Executive Branch in this effort, I applaud the leadership of the legislative Children 's Caucus and know that their work will encompass early education. Finally, I will ask Michigan's foundation community, which has already supported important work on this issue in our state, to do even more . We are grateful to our foundations for the support they have given the Ready to Succeed Partnership, the organization that has spearheaded the creation of early childhood learning coalitions across our state . And I know their commitment to this issue remains strong . Our children need a Great Start. Then they need great teachers at every stop on their journey to educational achievement. Michigan 's educators unlock the mysteries of multiplication tables, Shakespeare, photosynthesis and penmanship . In addition to our families, they are the ones who breathe into us the values of hard work, innovation , grit and community. It happens every day. At Roosevelt Elementary, in Room 1. At Central Middle and Renaissance High . Teachers model curiosity, integrity and responsibility. Our teachers and principals create pride of place- teach our children they belong in this class, this school , this city, this Michigan, this America. Please join with me in recognizing Susan Gutierrez, here with us tonight. Mrs. Gutierrez is a teacher at Forest Hills Central Middle School near Grand Rapids and she is Michigan's Teacher of the Year. We thank you and all the phenomenal teachers who are giving their professional lives in service to molding young minds. It is both my profound gratitude to the great teachers in my life, and my absolute certainty that good teaching is the key to our economic wellbeing, that steels this conviction in me: We must give teachers the best tools available in the world to teach better than they imagined they could. Today, I am announcing the creation of the Governor's Education Technology Fund- the GET Funda public-private partnership between the State of Michigan , Intel and others to provide educators with on-line professional development opportunities through the Michigan Virtual University and school districts. Thanks to the GET fund, hard-working teachers wi ll be able to access best practices and continually e x pand their knowledge . While we in Michigan are blessed with an education community second to none , we cannot rely on our educators alone to prepare our children - our state- for the future. Every one of us must find a way to reach out, too . http://www.michigan.gov/printerFriendly/O, 1687,7 -168--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<s trong><font color-"#003366" size="3">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 6 of 9 I'm proud that this year, my husband Dan Mulhern will renew the Mentor Michigan initiative that I introduced as Attorney General three years ago . He will spearhead a statewide effort to recruit thousands of citizens to be role models for children who badly need a caring adult. Research proves mentoring reduces youth crime . And we will not stop until every child in Michigan can answer the question- which too many children cannot answer today- "who really and truly takes a special interest in you and believes in you?" Our youngest adults hold the greatest hope, and we will tap their energy, also . We will team high schools with early childhood centers to supply volunteers to read to children for a half an hour a day. It's already being done in districts like Traverse City and it's coming soon in places like Kent and Wayne Counties . In the coming months, I will ask all of our school districts to volunteer to make 40 hours of community service a requirement for graduation from their high schools . We want to raise young people who embrace service to others as a way of life. We must also insist that high schoolers stay in school. I urge you in the Legislature to adopt legislation that will send a clear message to our students: "if you don 't show up in school , you shouldn 't bother showing up at the Secretary of State's office either," because we won 't issue driver' s licenses to chronic truants . Driving is a privilege, not a right. The responsibility of driving a car should be linked to the responsibility of attending school. Finally, we need to take a new approach to using academic achievement scholarships to encourage students to reach higher levels of performance in school. Scholarships shouldn 't just reward those who manage to succeed in our education system today ; they should encourage far greater numbers of students to succeed tomorrow. I have created a Great Lakes, Great Hopes scholarship fund that will guarantee scholarships to middle school students who comm it to graduate from high school and go on to college or another post high school education experience . We'll fund these scholarships with private donations today, and with joint public-private support when our fiscal situation improves . One way or another, we 'll make sure that the doors of educational opportunity swing wide for those with limitless dreams , but limited means . Just as stronger schools are critical to our strategy to build Michigan 's economy, so too are our efforts to create a healthier Michigan . Not only do we need a healthy workforce, but our state's businesses can 't soar if they are we ighed down by runaway health care costs . There are several things we will do today to make Michigan healthier tomorrow. For the first time in this state's history, we will be led by a State Surgeon General , Dr. Kimberlydawn Wisdom, who is here with us tonight and who will focus on rebu ilding our state's public health agenda. She will focus on preventing: lead poisoning, teen pregnancy, obesity, teen smoking, HIV/AIDS and more. Second , we will take concrete action to bring down the high cost of prescription drugs in this state . On behalf of our seniors, we have submitted -just this afternoon -a waiver request to the federal government asking for additional federal funds to expand EPIC , our Elder Prescription Insurance Coverage program . The waiver will allow us to more than double the number of low-income Michigan seniors who can rely on EPIC for comprehensive prescription coverage . I have also instructed the State's Director of Community Health, Janet Olszewski , to begin negotiations with other states to form a multi-state compact for prescription drugs. By leveraging the compact's immense buying power, we expect to cut tens of millions of dollars from our Medicaid drug costs this year. http://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7-1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �~strong><font color="#003366" size="3">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 7 of 9 We will not wait for Washington to act. We will get it done , now. Likewise, the time has come to protect the spectacular environment that beats with the heart of the Michigan spirit. In my Adm inistration , the environment will not be an afterthought; it will be a priority . First, we will no longer allow Michigan to be North America 's dumping ground . Federal law doesn't allow us to ban this trade in Canad ian and out-of-state trash , but we do have the right to insist that trash dumped in our landfills meets ou r standards . I am asking this legislature to act now to pass legislation that will allow us to refuse to accept solid waste loaded with batteries , bottles , cans and toxic substances that jeopardize our health and safety . Our state cannot- and will not - be the nation 's trash can . Second, I stand before you tonight to assure you that I will exercise my authority under federal law to veto any proposed export or transfer of Great Lakes water outside of our Great Lakes Basin . Our water is our defining natural resource -and it should never be for sale. I applaud Senator Sikkema for his leadership on protecting our ground water, and with him I will push for a Michigan water protection statute to prevent the diversion of all of our waters . Third , we will lead in promoting reg ional cooperation . As citizens we are not confined to the county, city or townsh ip lines drawn on a map- our thinking should not be either. We must think regionally about managing our watersheds , about our publ ic transportation systems , about sharing common assets and services among units of governmen t. And th is year, we must finally address the issue of land use. We must develop a cooperative, commonsense approach to how we use our land so we can protect our forests and farms , prevent the sprawl that chokes our suburban commun ities and threatens our water quality, and bring new life to our cities and older suburbs . So I am pleased to join with Senators Sikkema and Emerson , and Speaker Johnson and Leader Byrum to establish a bipartisan Commission on Land Use to ensure that Michigan grows in a way that preserves the character of the state we call home . The Commission will be headed by two men from different parties but with a shared love of Michigan and a comm itment to its future : Governor William Milliken and Attorney General Frank Kelley. Every day the morning news rem inds us of what security really means . It means making sure that ou r famil ies feel safe in their homes and that our homes are safe here in our homeland of Mich igan. Security and safety is the most basic duty of government, one that I take very seriously. That is why I have directed Lt. Colonel Sturdivant, the Director of the Michigan State Police, to coordinate with county and local law enforcement to aggressively go after violent criminals who violate their parole to get them off the streets . Violent crim inals deserve to be in jail -no ifs , ands, or buts . One of the most important steps we can take is to expand the use of drug courts . Drug treatment courts offer a way to break the cycle of drugs and crime . They allow non-violent drug users to serve their sentences not in expensive prisons, but in lower cost facilities that help them tackle their add iction and rejo in society as sober and productive individuals . By some estimates , we cou ld save more than $10,000 per person , per year every time we use this alternative approach . Finally, especially today , no discussion of security is complete without addressing the war on terrorism . With our active and long border and the amount of commerce and number of people who pass through our state, Michigan is on the frontline of the battle to ensure the security of our American homeland . http ://www .michigan.gov/printerFriendly/0, 1687,7 -1 68--60490--,00.html 2/6/2003 �<strong><font color="#003366" size="3 ">Michigan: Greatness through Challenge</font.. . Page 8 of9 I will create the position of Advisor for Homeland Security within the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to more directly link our security efforts here in Michigan with the country's defense preparations in Washington . We will be ready to answer the nation 's call to service at a moment's notice. The Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division , Office of Public Health Preparedness and the National Guard 's 51st Civil Support Team have already been preparing for a chemical and biological emergency. In the next ninety days, they will jointly conduct a tra ining exercise to test our capabilities to respond to a bioterror even t. Right now, the 14601h unit of the Michigan National Guard has left Michigan for likely deployment overseas . These men and women are not full-time soldiers- they are factory workers and store owners ; teachers and nurses; mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. They are citizens willing to give their time- and God-forbid, their lives, to serve our country. Sgt. Rohnalda Hollon from Beaverton shipped out last week with the 1460 1h. While she serves to protect ourfamilies, her husband Timothy will stay home to raise and protect their own . Tim , the ir 10year old daughter Whitney, and their 7 -month old twins , John and Timothy, are with us ton ight. Tim , you and Rohnalda are both heroes. We salute you and our entire military family for your commitment to our country. In the shadow of these soaring gifts , the sacrifices of our service men and women and the service to country they represent- we too, are challenged to greatness . Will we give to our ch ildren- all of them- their birthright of educational opportunity? Will we protect the soil that we pray our soldiers will soon kneel to kiss? Will we protect the health of our parents and children , the safety of our own cities and villages? We have challenges, but with the full breath of the Mich igan spirit, we will one day sing of a new greatness born in these times . As we face the great challenges that lie ahead , I call on the people of Michigan not to be bystanders . Do not look at children struggling to read and say, "Those aren't my kids ." Do not see seniors struggling to pay for their prescription drugs and say, "Those aren 't my parents." Do not drive by neighborhoods suffering from blight and crime and say, 'That's not my problem." The fact is , they are all problems we share -and we will either tackle them together or suffer the collective consequences . While patriots pack their bags to serve in the name of Democracy overseas , let us give life to the Mich igan spirit here at home. We can win our wars. Life's most satisfying victories are those that seemed impossible, yet gave way in the end to grit and hard work . Life's most dazzling victories dawn when imagination finds a way they said couldn't be found . And the sweetest of all victories arise when those thought to be adversaries together lead to a higher ground . Our call is not unlike that given to the leaders of our troops abroad : the most cherished homecomings occur when we protect those most at risk in ti mes of dark and storm . My friends, I say to you in closing : "We cannot wa it for the storm to blow over; we must learn to work in the rain ."W And that, my friends , is the Michigan spirit. Thank you and good night. : James Kouzes and Barry Posner, The Leadership Challenge.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mawby The meeting was called to order at 12:19 p.m. by Chairperson Mawby. Chairperson Mawby welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked everyone to introduce themselves. Chairperson Mawby introduced the new commissioners, Pamela Abbey Roth and Jessica Pellegrino, and asked them to give background on themselves. II. Review and Approval of December 16, 2002, Minutes - Chairperson Maw by Chairperson Mawby asked for any corrections to the minutes from the December 16, 2002, meeting. Kyle Caldwell noted one change in the minutes under Section ill, Executive Committee Report, staff recommendations granting additional powers to the Executive Committee to approve the MCSC's grant application submissions to the CNCS. Paragraph should read: Commissioner O'Day moved to approve the recommendations for the Executive Committee to approve the MCSC's grant application submissions. Commissioner West seconded the motion and the recommendations were approved. Motion passed unanimously. Chairperson Mawby asked for a motion to approve. Commissioner Barfield moved to approve the December 16, 2002, minutes. Commissioner O'Day seconded the motion to approve the minutes. Motion passed unanimously. ill. Standing Committee Reports - Chairperson Mawby. A. Executive Committee Report -Chairperson Mawby. 1. Chairperson Mawby discussed the minutes of the January 17, 2003, Executive Committee Meeting which were passed out to board members. During the meeting (via conference call) they reviewed the agenda for the February 10, 2003, meeting, the transition ofthe new executive branch in Lansing, and the annual performance review of the Executive Director. 2. Chairperson Mawby explained the process for performance review of the Executive Director and requested that each board member complete the performance review and return it to Jennifer Forbes at the MCSC office. Chairperson Mawby will summarize the results and have a constructive review with Kyle Caldwell. Because Kyle's position is Civil Service, the review does not impact his position and salary. However, it is useful in fulfilling the job and is important to have this communication between the Commission and the Executive Director. It is also important to have it as a part of his personnel portfolio. Mr. Caldwell explained that he wanted 2 �everyone to be frank and honest as the results are used to help the way we do business and try to establish priorities. B. Board Development Committee - Chairperson Mawby 1. Chairperson Maw by discussed the letter of resignation from Commissioner Michelle Engler to Governor Granholm. A response from the Governor's office had not been received, but it was expected that it will be accepted. MCSC will acknowledge appropriately to Michelle our appreciation for the leadership and service she provided. Chairperson Mawby noted a handwritten footnote in the letter where Mrs. Engler noted that she thought Dan Mulhern would find the MCSC a tremendous opportunity to do good things. There is a meeting scheduled with Mr. Mulhern to discuss the MNA, MCSC, and ConnectMichigan Alliance, to give him an overview and to discuss his possibility of becoming a member ofthe Commission. Chairperson Mawby asked for a motion to elect Commissioner Engler to the Leadership Advisory Council of the Commission, which consists of former members of the commission. Commissioner Swain moved to approve the election of Commissioner Engler to the Council. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion and the reconunendation was approved. Motion passed unanimously. C. Outreach and Communications Committee - Commissioner O'Day 1. Governor Service Awards Update. Commissioner O'Day discussed the alternative for the Governor Service Awards dinner, which will not take place this year, due to the new Governor' s transition and budget constraints. Suggestions were made at the December Conunission meeting and the changes were incorporated into the program. The nomination form is available on the website and in hardcopy. Commissioner O'Day explained the best way Commissioners can help is by getting the word out about the change to people who have nominated volunteers in the past as well as people who are interested in nominating volunteers in the future. Commissioners should direct those requesting information to the MCSC website or to call the MCSC office. Also, Commissioners can email or make copies of the nomination form they received to share with as many people that they can, or give the staff names and addresses of those you think may be interested in a nomination form. One of the biggest changes is that we are accepting nominations year round. State Farm has agreed to be a sponsor this year They-are interested in the work that the commission does around youth and service-learning. They 3 �are sponsoring the Governor' s Service Awards nominations that focus on youth, service-learning, and education. Commissioner 0' Day explained that the next step is to put together a Peer Review Panel. Commissioner Macon agreed to serve on the panel. Members of the Outreach Committee and other volunteers will also serve on the Peer Review Panel. The number of peer review panelists will be determined by the number of nominations received so people don't have to review more than 15 or so nominations. Commissioner O'Day explained to help promote the Gov. George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteerism the commission is partnering with the Council of Michigan Foundation and Michigan Nonprofit Association to create a joint nomination form for the Romney Award and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy. This year both awards will be presented at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference on May 20, 2003. A copy of the nomination form was given to Commissioners. There is a deadline for these two awards (March 21 ). The other Governor Service Awards can be nominated anytime. They will be considered by the Peer Review Panel, which will meet quarterly to establish the volunteers that will be recognized for the next few months. The MCSC staff will help to promote GSA by distributing flyers to their database (14,000 individuals) which will direct people to their website or contact the office; mailing the form to all grantees and key stakeholders; working with MNA and CMA, United Way, Council ofMichigan Foundations, Michigan Library, etc. to have them promote on their website and in their newsletters; putting announcements on State of Michigan employee paycheck stubs; promoting on the MCSC's home page; and sending annotmcements out to a variety of list serves. Commissioner Pickard asked the amount of the State Farm donation and was told it was $5,000. Commissioner Barfield asked if that was enough. Kyle Caldwell explained that the program shrinks with the size of the donation. The GSA program and dinner cost approximately $30,000, which covered the event, the printing, etc. Commissioner O'Day asked the amount of the last Ameritech contribution. Kyle Caldwell stated that it declined over time but the last contribution was $15,000. In the first year they underwrote the entire cost and then they capped it at around $12,000 to $15,000, so the MCSC absorbed the additional amount. Ameritech is no longer a sponsor. Kyle Caldwell and Commissioner O'Day stated that the goal of the GSA is to take it out to the communities to build up enough interest and then next year get back on track with a statewide dinner. This year there will be local events that may include the local state representative or senator, or 4 �possibly a media event and hopefully with the Governor, to recognize the GSA winners. It will involve more people in different ways and may end up strengthening the program. Commissioner O'Day handed out updates to the Commisioner Key Information Binders. Chairperson Mawby discussed the upcoming commission meeting on Monday, May 19, 2003. The meeting will take place at the Lansing Center and will begin at 11:00 am. We will join the Grantmakers/Grantseekers lunch at 12: 15 pm, with the guest speaker Mike Farrell from M.A.S .H . After lunch, we will re-convene. He also noted that the annual retreat will be at Brook Lodge on September 11 and 12 and the December meeting will take place in Dearborn. D. Report ofMCSC Designees to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Board of Trustees Commissioner Mawby 1. Update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Campaign Chairperson Mawby asked Dr. John Lore to give the Connect Michigan Alliance (CMA) update. Dr. Lore gave an update on the fundraising activities and distributed copies of a CMA gift snapshot to everyone. This gave a breakdown of the money being raised and the money that has already been raised. Dr. Lore stated that they are within $628,000 from reaching the goal of the $20 million grant. It was suggested by Commissioner O'Day and Jocelyn Yanda to approach athletes that are promentoring, literacy and service-learning to see if they are interested in making a donation. E. Report on Michigan Campus Compact - Chairperson Mawby 1. F. Chairperson Mawby asked Amy Smitter to give an update and overview on the Michigan Campus Compact. She explained that it is a state organization of college presidents that are committing their tmiversities to make a difference in communities and their students in terms of community service, service-learning and civic engagement. The campus compact has 35 members now but is in the process of adding the University of Detroit Mercy. That' s about 40% of higher education institutions in the state. The Campus Compact works with those presidents, faculty, staff and students on those campuses. Volunteer Centers ofMichigan - Chairperson Mawby 1. Chairperson Mawby asked Judy Tymowicz to give brief comments on Volunteer Centers ofMichigan. Judy stated that Volunteer Centers of Michigan have 35 volunteer center members which serve 47 counties in 5 �Michigan. That means that 88% of the population in the state has volunteer centers accessible to the residents in those counties. The mission is community volunteerism and to get all residents involved at the local level. They work with the MCSC through the Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants program, which leverage endowment funds and provide operational funds for volunteer centers who establish to continue their organization. IV. Executive Director's Report - Kyle Caldwell G. Program Updates 1. Volunteer Investment Grants Funding (approval item). Ms. Kaiser explained that at the December MCSC board meeting 12 grants were approved for $659,095. Therefore, we had $121,000 available to allocate in a second round. Immediately following that board meeting staff issued round two guidelines. MCSC received seven applications on January 21, 2003, totaling $335 ,000. All seven applications were reviewed by an external peer review group. From that peer review, five of the seven were recommended for staff review. The staff reviewed those five, totaling $205,000, which exceeded the amount we had available ($121 ,000). The staff recommended that all five be funded and reconm1ended dividing the available amounts by the five organizations. Staff asked the board to approve: Calvin College in the amount of $24,200; Dickinson Iron Community Services Agency in the amount of $24,200; ENRICH oflonia County in the amount of $24,200; Jackson Nonprofit Support Center in the amount of$24,200; and Volunteer Center ofMid-Michigan in the amount of$24,200. A motion to approve the staff recommendations was made by Commissioner O'Day and seconded by Commissioner Seese. Motion passed unanimously. Kyle Caldwell discussed the status ofthe state fimding of the VIG grants. The Commission was recently contacted by its fiscal agency about this particular grant funding. This is the only fund that MCSC distributes that is solely general purpose State of Michigan funding. Originally this was a $1 million annual endowment-building program. As ofFebruary 10, the funding stood at $659,095. In addition, all the grant agreements through the MDCD, our fiscal agency, were held up by the department because of the pending budget cuts. Mr. Caldwell discussed the budget crisis and possible upcoming program cuts. He also explained that the volunteer centers have been notified that the grants were being held. 6 �2. Introduction of MCSC Staff The MCSC staff introduced themselves and the programs they work with. 3. AmeriCorps Kyle Caldwell gave a report on Oakland County AmeriCorps member, Lenny Compton, and his experience at the President's State of the Union address. Lenny was on the news circuit the following day to talk about hjs service. A bio and press release on Lenny was on the MCSC website. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is worbng to craft the next AmeriCorps application. The challenge for the MCSC is that we don 't know how much money we will have to appropriate next year and we are operating our current budget on what are called continuing resolutions (tabng the numbers from last year, freezing them and moving them forward into the current operating year). Congress has extended that until February 20, 2003 . MCSC was currently looking at requests that exceed $8 million. Staff were moving forward with some really good applications, but didn't know what was going to be available. The strategy was to bring forth quality, submit it all, and see what happens. Mr. Caldwell explained the challenge facing AmeriCorps is that the CNCS, for a number of reasons including the rugh demand on AmeriCorps slots as well as an accounting mishap, does not have enough money in the education trust to cover AmeriCorps educational awards so ceased enrollment. This means that programs wruch are funded through us with a January start and would be enrolling members in January and November were unable to enroll members. That is a huge crunch on programs. It also means that programs that lose members will not be able to fill them. The freeze will stay on until the foreseeable future . The Corporation claims that it has enough money to cover current commitments, with roughly about 20,000 that they can bring on slowly. The bigger challenge is that the Trust is somewhere in the area of $40 to $65 million short. Congress is not appropriating large sums of money to go into the endowment trust. So it ' s got to come from somewhere and usually that' s from state cornn1issions. That impacts the $8 million in requests that we ' ll carry forward and be looking at budget cuts into next year. Ms. Kaiser explained that about 60% of the AmeriCorps slots from last year have been filled so there is about 40% for our state alone that are vacant and they are not able to fill them at this time. The majority of our programs started back in September and October so they were able to bring on some of their members. The staff is in continuous contact with our members with the implications on them and helping them to resolve issues as they come up. 7 �# 4. Learn and Serve- Service-Learning Kyle Caldwell explained that the Learn and Serve Work Group met to craft strategy to move forward with our service-learning initiatives. MCSC will be submitting a three-year plan for Learn and Serve in Michigan to the CNCS. We have some preliminary data from RMC research on service-learning and it's impact on MEAP. We talked earlier about State Farm and their support of our service-learning work. They were very excited about doing recognition programs, but they also wanted to get involved deeper in service-learning, in particularly our National Youth Service Day. The MCSC will do a joint conference with the Michigan Campus Compact, the Institute on Service-Learning to be held at CMU where Tom Watkins will be speaking. The work group had given the staff a charge to move forward on some key elements that will be shared with Commissioners at the next commission meeting. 5. Federal Budget Kyle Caldwell explained that the President's FY04 budget calls for an increase to 75,000 AmeriCorps members (50,000 right now). The funding for AmeriCorps had not been introduced nor was there enough funding appropriated in the President's budget to cover the education trust shortfall so there is going to be a need to reconcile some numbers. 6. Office of the Inspector General Audit Kyle Caldwell discussed that the Office of Inspector General published its audit of Michigan for the Corporation for National and Community Service. The preliminary findings show that only 2.2% of the federal funding examined is being questioned. Staff is providing most of the documentation and working with the grantees to get the member files and other records. This is an excellent endorsement of the accounting program at the commission. 7. State of Michigan Budget Kyle Caldwell explained the importance of its state funding in order to broker the $8 million federal funding. There are other state commissions in earlier years that didn't form because they couldn't get the state funding in order to draw down the federal funding. This is a compelling case for why state funding needs to be maintained. 8 �# 8. State of the State Address Kyle Caldwell discussed the areas ofthe Governor's State of the State address that pertained to the MCSC and the work that we do . The Governor also called for the First Gentleman to spearhead the Mentoring Initiatives which could lead to working with the Commission. 9. Financial Statement as of January 1, 2003 . Kyle Caldwell explained that a copy of the statement was included in the Commissioners information. 10. Michigan Citizen Corps Council Kyle Caldwell explained that the Michigan Citizen Corps Council was created under executive order. The idea was to marry traditional volunteer initiatives that we work on with homeland security. The council would meet Tuesday, February 11, 2003, for the first time. The Council will adopt a 3-year plan to get Citizen Corps moving in Michigan. The first item that will be addressed is a new initiative called CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Teams), which is first aid training the volunteers can engage in before First Responders arrive at the scene. Their hope is that every community will have this training in their community permanently. The second item that will be addressed will focus on other programs under the Citizen Corps umbrella including the revitalization of neighborhood watch, working with retired law enforcement and retired medical staff to work in communities as volunteers. Another concern will be that the Governor designate a Homeland Security Director, someone who will be coordinating all of the homeland security initiatives (firemen, state police, biohazard, etc). Mr. Caldwell also explained that tllis initiative is funded with over $500,000 from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He explained that Michigan will pilot this in eight communities across the state, and hopefully new money will come and Michigan will be able to expand in the future. This is a FEMA program that is being reorganized under the new Department of Homeland Security so the MCSC will have to wait to see where this initiative falls out in the next 6-8 months. V. New business- Russ Mawby A. Service as a Strategy White Paper Chairperson Mawby explained that this document shared with the transition team some of the areas where the work of the Commission relates to some of the 9 �priorities of the administration: mentoring, citizen engagement, learn & serve, etc. VI. Public Comment- Chairperson Mawby Commissioner Smith noted the new time and location of next meeting, which is different from the date and time at bottom of the agenda. The meeting will take place on May 19, 2003, at 11:00 am at the Lansing Center during the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference. Kyle Caldwell mentioned that on June 20-21 , 2003, the MCSC will be in Battle Creek for the statewide service project for AmeriCorps. The MCSC will be participating in a Habitat Blitz Build and rehabilitating a park. Chairperson Mawby reminded everyone to return the Executive Director performance evaluations. VII. Adjourn - Chairperson Mawby Commissioner Smith moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Barfield seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 1:57pm. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The commissioner suggestions from the December meeting were incorporated into the program. • The GSA Nomination Form is also being printed, so it will also be available in hard copy. • We really, really need commissioners to help get the word out about the Governor's Service A wards. o Direct people to our web site o Have people call us o Have people email us o Make copies of the Nomination Form you received and share it with others o Give staff names and addresses of people you would like us to send the nomination form to. • Remember, we are now accepting nominations year round. • Good news! State Farm has agreed to be one of the sponsors! State Farm is really interested in all of the work the MCSC does around youth and service-learning. So they are sponsoring the Governor's Service Awards that focus around youth, servicelearning, and education. • We are putting the Peer Review Panel together. Debbie Macon and agreed to serve on the Peer Review Panel. Members of the Outreach Committee and other volunteers will also be serving on the Peer Review Panel. The final number of reviewers depends �upon the number of nominations that need to be reviewed (so people don't have to review more than 15 or so nominations). • To help promote the Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteerism, we have partnered with the Council of Michigan Foundation and Michigan Nonprofit Association to create a joint nomination form for the Romney Award and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy. In the past, the Mawby Award was presented at the Governor's Service Awards dinner. This year both awards will be presented at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference on May 20th in Lansing. A copy of this nomination form is at your place (copied on yellow paper). • The MCSC staff is doing the following to promote GSA: o Distributing flyers announcing the Governor's Service Awards to our entire database (14,000 individuals). The flyer will direct people to the website or have them contact us for the nomination form. o Mailing the nomination form to all of our grantees and key stakeholders. o Working with our friends and partners (Michigan Nonprofit Association, ConnectMichigan Alliance, United Way, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Library, etc.) to have them promote GSA on their web sites and in their newsletters. o Put announcements on State of Michigan employee paycheck stubs. o Promoting GSA on the MCSC's home page. o Sending announcements out on a variety of list serves. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Much like her 2000 by 2000 initiative 2 created by then Attorney General Granholm, this latest call seeks to engage and channel the passions and energies of Michigan's most vital resource- its volunteers. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) wants to help. Tool for Governor Granholm's Citizen Engagement Strategy The MCSC can be an effective tool for Governor Granholm to implement Governor Granholm's call to citizen service. While it is commonly held that individuals would act to serve their community if asked, 3 we also know that a call to service requires the support, leadership and the development of resources to be maintained. The MCSC has a decade-long history of providing these elements and seeks the opportunity to use service as a strategy to answer Governor Granholm's call to "breathe a renewed air of citizen patriotism, duty and service to one another." Utilizing a Proven Existing Structure The MCSC's current status as an agency codified in state law4 and operating within an existing department make it the ideal tool for the Governor to use in her effort to get more citizens engaged. The MCSC therefore, respectfully suggests that its administrative structure remain within the Department of Career Development (and thereby transferred to the new on labor and economic growth) to allow it to move forward in the most effective, quick and efficient manner possible. This placement would also provide the least restrictive and least complicated method for transitioning the MCSC into the new administration. To that end, the members of the MCSC hope that the following plan may serve as guide to the Governor as to how the MCSC might best serve in her administration. Communicating the Need for Service Thousands of Michigan citizens volunteer daily. Millions more do not. Conveying the message that service to community is important and expected in a healthy democracy requires communication with the public. The MCSC wishes to offer Governor Granholm another tool to use to convey this important message through the Governor's Service Awards program. An outline of the program and opportunities it provides is attached. The MCSC hopes that the Granholm Administration will take up this invitation and fully utilize the MCSC to help foster an ethic of giving and serving in all Michigan residents. 1 Inaugural address of Michigan's 47th Governor, Jennifer M. Granholm. The 2000 by 2000 initiative is now known as Mentor Michigan. 3 The past two Michigan Volunteering and Giving Surveys have noted that the majority of those who don't volunteer, would if asked and those who do volunteer do so because someone asked them. Michigan Volunteering and Giving is a statewide survey supported by the Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Council of Michigan Foundations. 4 See PA 219 of 1994 2 �Key Elements Five key elements may be enacted to effectively and innovatively advance Governor Granholm's call to service: • Lead: Appoint a high-level official to the cabinet or to a state governmental body to give the highest-level priority to the Governor's call to service. • Mandate: Call for universal access for all Michigan citizens to volunteer opportunities. • Educate: Instill an ethic of service in the next generation of citizen patriots by encouraging students to serve and by calling for all educators to utilize service-learning as a teaching methodology. • Prepare: Empower residents to strengthen and ensure the safety of their community through volunteerism. • Celebrate: Regularly and publicly recognize individuals, businesses and organizations that engage in exemplary service to their community. Action Items The five key elements to enacting the Governor's call to service can be enacted within the first 100 days of the Granholm Administration and can have an enormous impact without imposing additional burdens on the state budget. In fact, if this plan is enacted, it could provide additional resources to state government's ability to provide support to local communities.5 At the same time, every precaution should be taken to ensure that this plan in no way supplants or replaces jobs currently deemed as critical to the work and responsibilities of state government. Lead Create a cabinet-level position to advise the Governor on issues related to philanthropy and volunteerism and help state agencies develop policies and procedures that would better engage citizens in service. The primary responsibilities for this individual might include: • • • • 5 Overseeing the state government directives related to the Governor's call to service; Acting as a liaison between state government and foundations and other charitable organizations; Directing state agencies charged with promoting service and volunteerism; Brokering resources and technical assistance for state departments and agencies to promote volunteerism; Independent Sector estimates that the average value of a volunteer is more than $16/hour. �• • Highlighting exemplary volunteers for Governor Granholm to hold up as models for others to emulate; and Preparing regular reports to the Governor on the progress of state agencies in enacting the plan and on the state ofvolunteerism in Michigan6 . Mandate Call for universal access for all Michigan citizens to volunteer opportunities. Issue a mandate calling for all state departments and agencies to use service as a strategy by identifying opportunities and access points for citizens to volunteer. An executive order explaining the Governor's wishes along with a rationale for the mandate could be issued immediately. The order would: • • • • • • Explain the rationale for the mandate; 7 Detail the goals on providing universal access to volunteer opportunities; Charge each department to develop a plan for engaging volunteers in the core work of that agency; Call for regular reports on the challenges and successes of their plan; Charge the Michigan Community Service Commission with working with agencies to oversee and implement their plans; and Require that agencies and departments provide adequate resources and leadership to carry out the Governor's call to action. Educate Instill an ethic of service in the next generation of citizen patriots by encouraging students to serve and by calling for all educators to utilize service-learning as a teaching methodology. Use the public education system for the purposes under which it was initially createddeveloping and maintaining an informed and engaged citizenry. The One Michigan plan calls for the institutionalization of a mandatory service requirement for high school graduation. This is a very ambitious goal. Across the country, Maryland was the first and remains one of the few states that has enacted this policy, but only after a strong mandate from the Governor and a significant allocation of resources. 8 6 Michigan publishes a study of giving and volunteering in Michigan that can be used to lay a foundation for a report to the Governor. In addition, Texas published a report on the impact of volunteer initiatives in selected Texas state governmental agencies that may serve as a model. An executive summary is attached. 7 While stronger than some other states, Michigan's volunteer support at the local level must be strengthened. Currently only 65 percent of Michigan communities have access to a volunteer center. Michigan's state governmental agencies have a sporadic record of encouraging volunteerism. Some agencies have volunteer initiatives that support their work while also serving the needs of their clients. Others rely on volunteers at the community level to deliver services to communities. The Office on Services to the Aging has the strongest volunteer program with thousands of seniors serving across the state. Yet, even with all its support, this agency is still working to provide its programs to every Michigan community. If every state agency were called to engage volunteers, there would be the potential for universal access to volunteer opportunities in Michigan. �Service-learning can help. Currently only $800,000 is assigned to develop service-learning programs in Michigan. 9 However, current K-12 education funding provides flexibility for local schools to fund service-learning through other avenues. 10 In addition, the Learning To Give program has hundreds of lesson plans teachers can use to help educate young people on how and why service and philanthropy are important to a healthy democracy. Even with these resources, the Governor's goal of mandatory service may not be enacted. To fully meet this goal, the Governor can engage the Department of Education to: • • • • • Increase the funding available to schools for service-learning programs. Create resources for volunteer coordinator positions in schools or within intermediate school districts to help match students with volunteer opportunities. Establish a Board of Education liaison to work with local communities to promote service opportunities for young people. Call on colleges and universities with teacher education programs to promote servicelearning and provide the future classroom instructors with the tools they need to make service an expectation and instill civic engagement in the next generation of Michigan's leaders. Engage young people and youth-serving organizations in an alliance for youth service. This alliance would assess the needs of schools and young people to fully and effectively enact the Governor's call to service. Prepare Empower residents to strengthen and ensure the safety of their community through volunteerism. Local communities need to ensure their safety and security even more in the post-September 11th world we live in now. Service as a strategy can help by developing local planning for preparedness and crime prevention programs. The MCSC is taking the lead in bringing the talents and resources of Michigan ' s volunteers with our state and local emergency management professionals by: • • • • • 8 Partnering with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division; Developing a statewide Citizen Corps Council; 11 Crafting a plan to revitalize neighborhood watch and crime prevention programs; Creating a statewide training program for Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT); and Supporting the creation of local Citizen Corps Councils that will develop local plans for engaging volunteers to ensure local security and safety. In 1993, Maryland became the fust state in the nation to require all public school students to engage in servicelearning activities as a pre-requisite for high school graduation. No other state has a similar requirement yet, although many private schools and public school districts do have service requirements. 9 This represents the total federal funds allocated to Michigan for Learn & Serve School-based and Communitybased programs. 10 No Child Left Behind specifically identifies Character Education funds as eligible for this type of activity. 11 Citizen Corps Councils bring together local human service agencies with local emergency management officials to develop community preparedness and prevention plans. �Celebrate Regularly and publicly recognize individuals, businesses and organizations that engage in exemplary service to their community. Thousands of Michigan citizens volunteer every day. Their efforts go largely unrecognized, but their efforts are vital to the health of a community. Encouraging every citizen to volunteer requires that exemplary volunteer efforts be celebrated and heralded. The Governor's Service Awards is Michigan's premiere program for volunteer recognition. The attached proposal for the Governor's Service Awards can provide Governor Granholm a vehicle for spotlighting volunteers across Michigan. (See 2003 Governor's Service Awards.) Administrative Construct Implementing service as a strategy will require that the Governor have a state agency with the focused purpose of developing and supporting service and volunteerism. The MCSC is designed for that very purpose. The MCSC's proven track record of success offers Governor Granholm a tool to enact a bold vision and agenda for citizen engagement. The MCSC's mission and flexibility also make it difficult to place within a traditional state government structure. The MCSC is not an education program, but it supports several education initiatives. The MCSC is not a jobs program, but it engages hundreds ofMichigan citizens in full-time national service programs that teach them valuable skills. The MCSC is not a public safety program, but it is driving initiatives to engage volunteers in homeland security efforts. The MCSC is not a social services program, yet it has underwritten programs that have supported Michigan's welfare clients. The MCSC is not an agriculture program, but it supports water assessment programs. The MCSC cuts across nearly all of state government and social issues. To be most effective in enacting the Governor's call to service, the MCSC hopes to be able to partner with all state agencies and have the mandate and active support of the Governor. �MCSC Structure (department for economic development and labor) Under this model the MCSC essentially remains in its current agency and transitions with the Michigan Department of Career Development to the new department on labor and economic development. This would be inline with previous state government reorganizations. 12 Pros: • • • • • • • • • • • An effective demonstration ofthe Governor' s commitment to using service as a strategy. Utilize the existing organization, funding source, leadership and experience ofthe MCSC to move the Governor's citizen service agenda forward . Provides Governor Granholm a state governmental voice to volunteers, nonprofits and philanthropic institutions. 13 Continues the capacity of the MCSC to engage Michigan' s state agencies and employees. Provides the Governor an established, proven and efficient foil to enact other human services programs as the need arises. Creates an access point for the Governor's "opening the doors of government to citizen patriots" policy utilizing service as a strategy. Remain with same fiscal agency with existing personnel and administrative systems. Exist within a state agency with a broad agency mandate (economic and workforce development) The MCSC members would remain semi-autonomous and free to implement an agenda solely focused on service and volunteerism. Provides a seamless transition. Easiest method of transition for the Governor's Office to enact. Cons: • • • 12 The MCSC would be a small element of a much larger agency and might not receive the attention and support necessary to carry out its agenda. Housed within an agency that is not focused on service and volunteerism. Limits the MCSC ' s ability to work directly with the Governor's Office to enact her mandate. In 1991 , the MCSC was developed by executive order. As part of its creation, the MCSC was housed within the Governor's Office, but its contracts, personnel and general administrative services were provided by the Michigan Department of Labor. In 1994, the MCSC was reassigned to the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) as part of another executive order. The same staff provided the same services as they were transferred to the MJC. The MCSC is currently administratively housed within the Department of Career Development. The Department provides the basic administrative functions including audit resolution, budget development, accounting and human resources. The MCSC does not directly serve the mission of the Department as it is not a jobs program. 13 Members of the MCSC include representatives from the W.K. Kellogg and C.S. Mott Foundations, General Motors Corporation, Council of Michigan Foundations, and Habitat for Humanity. �Background Michigan's Governors Commitments to Service The call for citizen service is a long-standing tradition of public servants as a reminder to all of the responsibilities associated with living in a healthy and vibrant democracy. Michigan's leaders have carried this tradition forward through the actions of its Governors since the late Governor George W. Romney helped to give rise to the volunteer center movement over thirty years ago. Since then Governors Milliken, Blanchard and Engler have all placed their emphasis on service by providing their own leadership and support. Governor Romney's vision of providing universal access to volunteer centers spurred the campaign that gave rise to the Points of Light Foundation, the President's Summit for America's Future in Philadelphia and America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth 14 • Governor Milliken focused on Volunteers in Michigan and made this a sub-component of his administration 15 • Governor James Blanchard created one of the nation's largest youth-focused programs to get youth engaged with nonprofits while providing valuable job skills through the Michigan Youth Corps 16 . In a showing of surprising nonpartisanship, Governor Blanchard and Governor-elect John Engler held a press conference with Governor Romney to publicly affirm that their commitment to service will continue. The first spouses were present and agreed to work together on the Campaign for Volunteerism. Shortly thereafter, Governor Engler created the Michigan Community Service Commission and appointed First Lady Michelle Engler to serve as chair. As a major component of her inaugural address, Governor Granholm called for Michigan's citizens to ignite the flames of engagement and become involved in service. Infrastructure for Citizen Engagement In Michigan Realization of Governor Granholm's call to civic engagement will require leadership, infrastructure and constant high levels of interest and passion. We know this based on the history of the volunteer movement nationally, which has strong Michigan connections. While the state nickname ofTennessee is the "Volunteer State", Michigan is often touted as one ofthe nation's leaders in supporting and promoting volunteerism. This is due to the strong infrastructure that has been developed over the past two decades. Volunteer Opportunities Michigan has an extensive network of volunteer centers. Volunteer centers serve to support nonprofit organizations' most vital resource- volunteers. Volunteer centers match volunteers with quality opportunities to serve. In addition, volunteer centers serve as conveners for local organizations and individuals to come together to deal with the most vexing community problems. 14 The efforts of Governor Romney began after his departure as governor and was broadly called the National Program for Voluntary Action which consisted of the privately-funded, non-political National Center for Voluntary Action (NCVA) and the federal Office of Voluntary Action (OVA) which was the service arm of the Cabinet Subcommittee on Voluntary Action created in 1969 by President Nixon and chaired by Governor Romney. 15 Governor Milliken made volunteerism a subdepartment of the Department of Management and Budget. 16 The Michigan Youth Corps program created 40,000 jobs for young people. �Currently, volunteer centers service approximately 65 percent of Michigan's communities. Michigan is one of a handful of states to have a state association for volunteer centers and the only to be supported by an endowment. K-16 Education Students in Michigan are being encouraged to serve at every grade level, including college. The Council of Michigan Foundations is encouraging K-12 students through the Learning to Give initiative that teaches philanthropy through hundreds of teacher lesson plans-tied to the MEAP standards-that effectively teach English, math, science and social studies with an emphasis on giving of one's time, talent and treasurers. Federal support is provided to school districts to encourage volunteering through servicelearning-an experiential teaching methodology that brings the lessons of the classroom into the community. Learn & Serve America programs are targeted at schools and community-based organizations, but are limited in their scope due to the small amount of funding ($800,000). Still, this program engages 50,000 volunteers annually. In addition, the Michigan Department of Education last spring adopted a policy supporting servicelearning as a viable and valuable teaching methodology for Michigan's teachers. Higher education has taken a keen interest in encouraging service through the Michigan Campus Compact. This organization brings together college and university presidents to determine policy, gamer resources and engage in activities that encourage student, faculty and administrators in civic action both on and off campus. Nonprofit Sector Again, a leader among states, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is a support organization for Michigan's nonprofits. It engages in the public policy arena by providing analysis and advocacy services. This association also supports the fifth largest state industry by providing training and technical assistance to nonprofit boards and their staff. "Michigan In Brief' is published regularly by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Council of Michigan Foundations and serves to inform policy makers and the public on the most important issues facing our communities and the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Philanthropic Community Every community in Michigan is serviced by a community foundation . More than any other state in the nation, Michigan has provided universal access to the resources and opportunities afforded by these community trusts. In addition, Michigan is home to the nation's leading Regional Association ofGrantmakers- the Council ofMichigan Foundations. Supporting more than 400 foundations and corporations making grants for charitable purposes. The Council of Michigan Foundations, through the support ofthe W.K. Kellogg Foundation, also led the nation in developing youth advisory committees within community foundations to help create the next generation of grantmakers. �The Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project invested more than $65 million dollars in endowments and programs to support youth. Today, this initiative continues to encourage youth philanthropy and has been heralded as a national model. Alliance for Volunteerism Bringing together all the forces in support of Michigan ' s volunteers is the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance is a nonprofit organization that serves as a hub for the public and private sectors to support volunteerism as a way of life for Michigan residents. This organization is a partnership of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Campus Compact and the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan and is supported through a $20 million statewide endowment fund. The ConnectMichigan Alliance promotes volunteerism and civic engagement statewide through initiatives like Michigan' s Promise and ConnectMichigan Campaign. Governor Granholm's Tool to Advance Service as a Strategy Nearly every governor in the nation has a tool to promote citizen engagement- state service commissions. State service commissions are governor-appointed bodies designed to promote volunteerism and administer national service programs funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service. Some have utilized their state service commissions to implement various elements of their agendas including large mentoring and tutoring programs, public safety initiatives, environmental and forestry programs, and youth development initiatives. Michigan has taken the opportunity provided by its state commission on service to go further than just passing through federal funds. We know that to truly strengthen Michigan communities we must find unique, yet proven ways to solve local challenges. That is why the MCSC uses service as a strategy to community problem solving. The MCSC is the tool by which leadership, policy and resources are developed to advance this enduring model of neighbor helping neighbor. The MCSC supports local and statewide programs that focus on housing, education, technology, victim services, conflict resolution, youth development and public safety. Whatever the issue, generally service can provide a unique strategy for addressing it. Michigan was one of the first states to create a state service commission (two years prior to the federal government requiring their establishment to access federal national service funds) . The MCSC was created in 1991 and codified in state law in 1994 17 . Since that time it has engaged thousands of volunteers, administered and leveraged more than $70 million in public and private funds, and oversees the nation's only state-sponsored volunteer center endowment grant program. Today, the MCSC is the lead agency for the nation's largest national service program- AmeriCorps, and hosts the newest homeland security program- Citizen Corps. 17 The 87th Michigan Legislature passed PA 219 in 1994. A copy of the act is attached. �The MCSC is the state's only statutorily recognized body designed specifically to promote and encourage Michigan citizens to volunteer. The 25 nonpartisan members of the MCSC are appointed by the governor and serve as ambassadors for volunteerism and stewards for the public and private funds annually distributed to support volunteer-oriented programs. Members represent all sectors of Michigan society including businesses, government, nonprofits and faithbased organizations 18. Members represent all demographics with a special emphasis on youth. More than $8 million in state and federal dollars are administered by the MCSC with an additional $4-6 million distributed to community foundations in support of local health programs for youth and seniors. The MCSC operates Michigan's AmeriCorps- the federal government's largest national service program for Michigan. The MCSC also works with the Michigan Department of Education to administer the Learn & Serve America- the state's largest funding source for service-learning. Finally, the MCSC is working with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division to distribute and administer the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Citizen Corps program in support of homeland security and preparedness. Nationally, the MCSC is recognized as one of the leading state service commissions and is often used as a model for other states. The MCSC has helped the nation's governors recognize the power of volunteerism and the role it can play in addressing their agendas by taking the lead at crafting and revising the National Governor's Association policy on national and community service 19. Both the Clinton and Bush administrations have sought input from the MCSC on national service policy. The MCSC has representation through its current and former members on the boards and staff of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Points of Light Foundation, America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth, Habitat for Humanity International, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S . Mott Foundation and the Council on Foundations. The MCSC has served as a focal point for state agencies to utilize volunteerism. The Adopt-APart of Michigan programs use a toll-free number underwritten and staffed by the MCSC. The Family Independence Agency operated a Michigan ' s AmeriCorps program to recruit and place volunteers on behalf of their clients. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality operated AmeriCorps programs granted through the MCSC. The MCSC works with the Michigan Department of Education to administer the Learn & Serve program for Michigan. The role of the MCSC as a grantmaking body to support volunteerism, its depth in leadership demonstrated by its members, its partnerships with state agencies, its record of using service as a strategy for community problem solving, and its connection to all segments of Michigan society (profit, nonprofit, and social sectors) make it the ideal tool to implement Governor Granholm' s call to "light the flames of engagement." 18 19 see conuruss10ner . . ,.1stmg . attac hed. HR-24 was introduced, and has been revised with the assistance of the MCSC and Michigan 's Washington, D.C. Office. �Attachments Draft Plan of the Governor's Service Awards Program Investing in Volunteerism: The Impact of Service Initiatives in Selected Texas State Agencies (Executive Summary) Public Act 219 of 1994 Listing ofMembers of the Michigan Community Service Commission �2003 Governor's Service Awards Background and History The Governor's Service Awards (GSA) began in 1994 with the purpose of recognizing and celebrating the exemplary efforts of Michigan' s volunteers. During the past nine years this annual celebration has grown into Michigan's premiere means for volunteer recognition. Awards have been given to adults, youth, seniors, educators, National Service members and programs, businesses, nonprofit and faith-based organizations, and education institutions. Since its inception, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has managed this event. The Award Presentations One Governor's Service Award and several honorable mention awards will be presented monthly. The GSA recipient will receive their award at a local event of significance (such as a Rotary luncheon, _§cgool board meeting, etc.). A representative from the Governor' s office, the event sponsor, and/or an MCSC Commissioner will present the award to the winner. The winner will receive a plaque and a proclamation from the Governor. The honorable mention award recipients will receive a proclamation from the Governor. A media release announcing the winner and honorable mentions will be distributed by the MCSC and an article will be posted on the MCSC web site. Awards will be presented throughout the year for service in the following areas: • Individual - Recipients in this category could be youth, adults, or seniors who are giving back to their communities; educators who are utilizing service-learning in the classroom or involve their students in community service activities; National Service members such as AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps*VISTA, RSVP, Foster Grandparents, etc.).

Through their volunteer participation in state agencies, children and seniors are safe and cared for, parks are clean and inviting, historic sites are preserved, our cultural heritage is celebrated, and needed services are rendered. Investing in Volunteerism is an analysis of the volunteer service and community engagement efforts of eighteen selected state agencies and organizations. Funded in part by a grant received by the Texas Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service from the Corporation for National and Community Service, this study was undertaken by the RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service, a component of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. • Volunteer participation is big business in Texas State Government agencies. Significantly more than 200,000 Texans serve this state through structured service opportunities providing contributions in time, in-kind contributions, and donations valued in excess of $35 million. • Four organizational models facilitate the delivery of volunteer service. Centralized models appear to be most effective in leveraging broad large-scale citizen participation initiatives. These models require dedicated staff at the central office and regional levels supporting volunteerism. Decentralized models operate on a project or program specific level. Generally focused on outcome or project goals, these relatively smaller efforts address specific needs. Regional outreach is variable. Community-based models of service rely heavily on the work of independent nonprofit organizations formed to assist the state in meeting significant social problems. Hybrid models represent a combination of these systems. • More than 100 different service opportunities and volunteer projects were identified by the participating agencies. Key challenges to greater volunteer involvement include staff availability to supervise and support volunteers and staff understanding of the roles and function s volunteers can perform. • People of all ages serve as volunteers. Fewer opportunities exist for youth service. Senior adults were frequently lauded for their volunteer activities. Volunteers are not free . They do however significantly expand the reach of state government, leverage scarce financial resources, and actively engage citizens in the work of a democracy. Their involvement helps generate networks of trust and reciprocity, building caring communities. �Act No. 219 Public Acts of 1994 Approved by ttie Governor June 26, 1994 Filed with the Secretary of State June 27, 1994 STATE OF MICHIGAN 87TH LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION OF 1994 Introduced by Reps.
