He began in the PALS program where he helped other students with classes, homework, and social issues. CJ has also been a Big Brother to a young man from Lansing for six years. He has helped Marton grow from an eight-year-old with mediocre academic performance into a well-mannered eighth grader with a 3.5 GPA. Marton was recently awarded a Hope Scholarship, which will help support his post-secondary education. When not working on their studies, the two can be found at the movies, Sexton and MSU football games, and going out to dinner. Mostly, though, they just hang out as friends doing everyday things. In addition to being a Big Brother, CJ recognizes the great need for male mentors and is committed to raising awareness and recruiting men to fill this void. He is involved with Break the Cycle, a national organization that works with at-risk youth to help them break the cycle of poverty, gang involvement, drug addiction, hopelessness, and despair. Upon his graduation from MSU, CJ plans to continue his work with BTC to bring the program to more states and schools throughout the U.S. Michele Ripka of Grand Haven has been a mentor with the Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring program for six years. During this time she has been matched with three young women who had differing needs, and Michele adjusted her mentoring style to help each one. Jamie is her current match and together they have successfully traveled rough and adventurous roads. A recent accomplishment was their training and participation in the Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Run. The two novice runners supported each other as they trained and slowly made lifestyle changes to sustain their new healthy focus. Jamie faced some family and friends who gave her excuses not to run and encouraged her to make unhealthy food choices. Michele faced an injury just before the big event. Together they prevailed and lost more than 40 pounds between them and Michele lowered her cholesterol by 44 points. With love, care, and persistence, Michele has changed the lives of three young women by showing them the variety of options they have for their futures. Michele has also helped mentoring programs with projects and fundraising, encouraged and supported mentors, and recruited new mentors in Ottawa County.

Michigan seeks to understand what works and what does not in terms of recruiting male mentors. In January of 2007, Mentor Michigan held a contest among 32 mentoring organizations to recruit more male mentors. These organizations developed communication, events and other strategies and tactics to recruit men to become mentors. Kahle Research Solutions designed a contest evaluation project to learn from the experiences of these organizations so that their experiences and ideas can be built upon for further efforts by Mentor Michigan to recruit more men as mentors. Outcomes of Contest • 32 participating organizations recruited a total of 292 new male mentors. • The range of increase in male mentors during the course of this contest ranged from zero to 59. • The actual number of male mentors is much higher because many organizations had new male mentors apply after the deadline of the contest. • The number of female mentors also increased due to the efforts of the contest but these numbers were not tracked . The Winners • The winners of the contest received a $2000, no-strings-attached grant from Mentor Michigan . • Two organizations were awarded grants: one for the highest percentage increase in male mentors, and one for the highest increase in the raw number of male mentors. • Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit recruited 59 new male mentors. • The Boys and Girls Club of Bay County had a 42% increase in male mentors. • In addition to the contest, Mentor Michigan simultaneously ran the Mentor-to-Mentor Challenge that awarded a $200 cash prize to the mentor within each organization who recruited the highest number of male mentors. 14 organizations had mentors that received the cash prize. Recommendations for Future Recruitment Efforts • Run the Men in Mentoring Recruitment Challenge in 2008 - Consider running the contest in the fall to include school based mentoring programs. School based programs did not participate in January because they were not recruiting at that time. - Host planning sessions several months prior to the start of the contest. ~ Have a longer window of time to count results. - Post the names of the participating organizations on mentormichigan.org. - Special awards for: most innovative idea, board member involvement, best replicable strategy, etc. Host an evaluation session before the winners are announced . • Support a series of Martin Luther King Jr. Day events around the state focused on recruitment of male mentors . • Host trainings for board members to instill a sense of responsibility for recruitment. • Have customizable recruitment materials available on mentormichigan.org that are geared towards men including brochures, posters, flyers , and e-cards. �Mentor Michigan Updates Save the Date for Michigan's Premiere Mentoring Conference October 24, 2007, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m . at the Holiday Inn West in Lansing Mentor M_ic~igan will be hosting it second annual statewide mentoring conference on October 24.

We hope to have these members start this summer. Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VIST A Request for Proposals Now Available This year we are pleased to announce the expansion of the Mentoring Michigan AmeriCorps*VISTA (MMV) program . For the 2007-08 program year, MMV members will focus on three areas: Children Aging Out of Foster Care, Children of Incarcerated Parents, or Community Mentoring Collaboratives. Mentor Michigan plans to award up to 15 MM AmeriCorps*VIST A positions throughout the state. The Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps*VISTA program builds the capacity and sustainability of the programs and communities and ultimately, leaves programs and structures in place that no longer requires a MMV member. MMVs bu ild mutually beneficial relationships , which lead to long-term partnerships between community organizations focusing on increasing the quality of their mentoring programs and provide continuing support of mentoring relationships through trainings, recognition, and resources.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairman Dan Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 10:20 a.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. II. Review and Approval ofNovember 16, 2006 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 16, 2006 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhern A. The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from January 19, 2007. Mr. Mulhern asked for a motion to support the minutes, Commissioner Colaianne moved to approve the minutes, and Commissioner Pardoe seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Advocacy Committee- Chairman Mulhern thanked the Advocacy Committee for the work they have been doing. This work is very important and needs to continue to keep the MCSC healthy. IV. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Service Learning 1. Shelly Billig, Vice President of RMC Research, presented research on service-learning. She shared that Michigan has been a leader and mo9el for the nation in service-learning. She shared results of a national study on the impact of service-learning on high school student's civic and academic engagement, including the characteristics of service-learning that best predict results; results of Learn and Serve Evaluations in Michigan; and the implications for Michigan schools. First they wanted to find out the impact of participating in servicelearning. Second, what is it about service-learning that predicts different kinds of impact. The methods included pre/post high school student and teacher surveys, administrator interviews, student focus groups, classroom observations, and interviews with community partners. Then once they had the findings, they went back to those they surveyed and discussed the findings with them to find out their thoughts. The measures included academic engagement, valuing school, school attachment, enjoyment of math and science, enjoyment of reading/language arts and social studies, civic knowledge, civic skills, civic 2 �dispositions, civic engagement, community attachment, and efficacy. The sites for the studies were located in Fort Myers, FL; Miami FL; Anoka, MN; Tillamook, OR; Humble, TX; and Menasha WI. The results showed there were no differences between service-learning participants and non-participants except in three areas: enjoyment of subject matter, intention to vote, and specific types of civic knowledge, especially related to community and civic life. It also showed large significant differences between service-learning participants and non-participants when servicelearning sites had high quality. Attributes associated with highest outcomes include duration of at least one semester, teacher experience, type of service project, engagement in service-learning, and essential elements. The predictors of academic outcomes included clear goals and objectives that students can articulate, cognitive and developmental challenge, assessment, formative and summative evaluation (enjoyment of subject matter), valuing diversity, interaction with the community, preparation for service, and reflection activities that featured critical thinking. The predictors of civic outcomes included clear goals and objectives that students can articulate, cognitive and developmental challenge, assessment (civic knowledge only), formative and surnrnative evaluation, student voice, and valuing diversity. Service-Learning projects showed large positive character education (caring and trust) in Philadelphia, strong respect for diversity in Texas, strong civic learning outcomes in Virginia, and strong academic outcomes in Michigan and New England. Michigan results showed that programming was very diverse, direct and indirect service, included research, was required (hours), was linked to academics, and included high quality in the areas of relevance, challenge and inclusion of civics. There were significant increases in civic knowledge scores for grades 35; there were significant decreases in school engagement; teachers felt students gained in character development and civic skills, but not in academics; students felt they gained work experience, job skills, and career awareness; student reports of engagement and quality were significantly related to outcomes; teacher reports of quality and implementation were not consistently related to outcomes; and intensity and duration varied substantially, from 5% to 90% of time devoted to service-learning, with an average of 4 hours per week over 13 weeks. Recommendations: To promote academic achievement we need to incorporate more cognitive challenge, link to standards, extend projects over time, devise activities that are developmentally appropriate and establish a culture that promotes service and learning. To promote civic engagement we need to foster a civic commitment through the development of a "social contract", guide students but give them many choices, strategies need to build on research about the topic, careful about efficacy and tackling something that is the right size, promote taking a stand, design and guide meaningful reflection activities, and include demonstration of the results. 3 �2. Angelia Salas gave an update on the Service-Learning Urban Initiative. The MCSC will be offering mini-grants around service-learning in urban areas. They will also be issuing a RFP for selected schools to begin looking at supporting service-learning at the building level in urban areas. Grants will also be available to Cities of Promise locations. The MCSC will also be able to offer these schools the opportunity to attend the National Urban Service-Learning Institute which will take place at Wayne State University in August. B. Mentor Michigan 1. MI Campus Compact Mentor Challenge Update - Amy Smitter shared that in 2004 Dan Mulhern challenged college and university presidents to recruit mentors on their campuses. The Michigan Campus Compact Board ofDirectors accepted his challenge to recruit 1,500 mentors in the state over the next three years. This year the MCC included mentoring survey data with their National Campus Compact survey information for Michigan and had more than half of the college and universities fill out that section. There is more work to be done to get all of the campus to report their mentoring data. In the last two years, at least 5,000 students, staff and faculty were mentoring across campuses. In terms of the challenge, they doubled the challenged amount with over 3,000 new mentors. Mr. Mulhern will be re-challenging them at their March meeting. There are two programs that the MCSC is helping Campus Compact with to help meet the challenge. The first is an AmeriCorps Education Award program that offers scholarships to college students who agree to 300 hours of community service as part of their college experience. They receive $1,000 in return. They have recruited 350 members. A large portion of these members are serving disadvantaged youth, with a large portion of those mentoring. The second program is the Learn and Serve America Grant, "Investing in College Futures", that MCC and MCSC worked closely on. This is $1.14 million over the next three years to help colleges and universities around assisting disadvantage youth. The MCC has also learned that the colleges and universities are facilitating placements between mentors and college students, faculty and staff and some are even running their own mentoring programs. 2. Mentoring Month Update- Paula K. VanDam shared some of the highlights from Mentoring Month. There were several local events held throughout the state including community collaboratives and college campuses holding celebrations to promote mentoring. The Governor and First Gentlemen highlighted Mentor Michigan during inaugural events and raised over $100,000 for Mentor Michigan during these events. A new partnership was formed with United Way of Michigan to pilot the 211 number for potential mentors to fmd out about mentoring opportunities. New this year was the Men in Mentoring Recruitment Challenge and 32 organizations signed on 4 �the challenge to recruit more men as mentors in January. They have reported that they recruited approximately 300 men as mentors during this period. Mentor Michigan also launched its online directory where people can search for mentoring organizations and its Corporate Honor Roll to recognize businesses that support mentoring in Michigan. 3. National Governor's Association- Chairman Mulhern shared that he is the chair of the spouses group and will have the National Mentoring Partnership talk about mentoring at their meeting and the win/win situation of having the mentoring initiative part of state commissions. 4. DHS/MSU-E Mentoring Foster Youth Pilot - Commissioner Marsha Smith gave an overview of this initiative which links foster youth aging out ofthe foster care system with mentors. This collaborative effort between DHS and MSU would train the mentors to help with specific objectives (job training, education, housing, etc) to help guide their transition from foster care to independence. Paula K. VanDam shared that there may be a possibility to connect AmeriCorps members to this initiative. The MCSC has submitted a competitive application to the Corporation to merge the CMA Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program with the MSU Extension Mentoring AmeriCorps program. Also, dealing with kids aging out of foster care is a priority for the Corporation.- The MCSC has had conversations with Evan Albert around VISTA 's related to this initiative as well. They would have far more flexibility. C. National Service Update - Megan Sargent gave an overview of AmeriCorps Week (May 13-20) to make more people aware of AmeriCorps and what the programs are doing. Michigan' s AmeriCorps members will be using "100 Hours of Power" as their theme and will do service projects in their communities. Commissioners were encouraged to attend these projects in their areas. There will also be an onsite service project during the Nonprofit Superconference where they will be making fleece blankets for an organization and are encouraging everyone at the conference to donate 15 minutes of time. She also shared that she is working on establishing a good AmeriCorps Alums base. There are a couple of Alum chapters in Michigan and she is working with them to engage them and keep them connected. The goal is to get them involved in mentoring or other areas of service. Ms. VanDam also shared that the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will be June 6-7 in Detroit and will be a Habitat build. Commissioners were encouraged to attend. Ms. VanDam gave an update on federal funding. The 2007 appropriations were just finali zed and both the House and the Senate passed a continuing resolution to the end of the fiscal year and the President has signed it. The decrease in funding for AmeriCorps from FY04 to FY07 is $58 million. The Learn and Serve budget is also looking at a $6 million cut and $11 million for FY08. This will be a busy year for the MCSC as far as educating the lawmakers about the 5 �importance of national service. Congress may also be taking up reauthorization this year. Commissioner Collier asked if talking points could be given to Commissioners regarding the funding cuts and what it means for Michigan. MCSC Staff will draft talking points and distribute. D. ConnectMichigan Alliance I Michigan Nonprofit Association UpdateCommissioners Mawby and Lawson have represented the MCSC on the committee that is looking at the merger of the two organizations. Mr. Mawby gave an update on the merger. They have talked about the benefit of coming together and the merger of the mission ofboth organizations. He said each organization has a distinctive rol~ but there are a lot of areas of commonality and activities. The leadershjp and staff of the organizations along with the boards of the organizations have actively been involved. The agreement is the umbrella organization will be the Michigan Nonprofit Association coming together with the resources and experiences of the ConnectMichigan Alliance to have a merger of missions. The specific concern is the integrity of the $20 million endowment and systems incorporated to protect the intentions of the donors. There will be an advisory group that will oversee the endowment. The recommendation for the merger will go to both boards in March for their approval. E. Volunteer Investment Grants - Diana Algra gave an update on the VIG initiative (see attached report). Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) has worked on more than 75% ofBob Kahle's recommendations from his report in 2005. There has been an update in technology and developed a web-based reporting system. They are also working with current centers to expand their coverage area. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC asked VCM to submit a proposal for the Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants for FY07 to build on the momentum over the past two years. VCM is proposing continuing with the universal coverage ofthe expansion grants, a continuation of their Leadership Academy, and continuing to provide technology grants with a focus on the creation of the Statewide Volunteer Matching Portal. The MCSC staff recommends funding to the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan in the amount of$200,000. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the VIG funding. Commissioner Collier made the motion to approve the staff recommendations, Commissioner Colaianne seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. F. Communications Update - Mary Grill shared that the new MCSC Annual Report was distributed to Commissioners. There are facts, figures and good stories about the MCSC programs. She also explained that each Commissioner has received a new Key Information Binder. She shared that Anita Baker will be the headliner at the Governor' s Service Awards. The event will be held at the Fox Theater in Detroit and will be similar to last year' s event. She distributed a GSA potential sponsor chart and asked Commissioners to look 6 �it over and let her know ifthere are any changes or additions. The GSA Committee also suggested that the sponsorship levels be adjusted this year due to the tight economy. There will be one $15 ,000 sponsorship, the premier level has been lowered from $15 ,000 to $10,000, and the pacesetter level has been lowered from $10,000 to $7,500. There is concern about reaching the fundraising goal but the goal this year will be to meet event expenses. Chairman Mulhern said that it is important that we not set our sights too low. There has been a lot of challenge for businesses but there has been a lot of growth for other sectors (service areas, health care, technology, etc.) . He encouraged Commissioners to think about who needs to be on the list and how we can get to them to commit to supporting the Governor' s Service Awards. We need to all work hard and to keep doing the follow up calls. There is plenty of money out there so we need to be optimistic. V.

Chairman Mulhern welcomed Musette Michael, the new MCSC Executive Director, to the meeting. He gave background on Musette. She served as an assistant attorney general under both Frank J. Kelley and Governor Granholm and 1 �recently served as a deputy director at DHS. He also thanked Paula VanDam for serving as the Acting Executive Director since last July, and commended her for handling the duties with tremendous intelligence, grace, and creativity. Musette Michael summarized her background. She thanked the Governor and First Gentleman for giving her the opportunity to have an impact on Michigan and its children. With the MCSC now located within the Depatiment of Human Services, a whole range of opportunities for volunteer services have opened up. She described the work of the Family Resource Centers which are located in school buildings. They have an assigned DHS caseworker and community resources available to the families of children that are attending the school. This allows a great opportunity for people to be involved in community service. The Cities of Promise also offer an oppmiunity for MCSC involvement when looking at grant sites. A third area for the MCSC involvement is in the effort to assist youth aging out of foster care. This partnership is already in the works. A website for these youth to use when looking for resources is also in the works. These children will have the opportunity to be com1ected with a caring adult or organization so that they can succeed. Musette shared that it is exciting to be joining the MCSC at this time because of the wide range of volunteer opportunities. There is also a growing population of available volunteers - the baby boomers. Paula VanDam will be working with organizations to engage this population. She also shared that the legislature has not been very kind to DHS and stressed the importance of educating the legislators to let them know the value of community service. Chairman Mulhern gave an update on the state budget. There was discussion about volunteer organizations being able to provide some of the services that are subject to cuts. Commissioner Whipple stressed the importance of making voltmteerism more effective. Commissioner Collier shared information about an effort that will be launched in May and start up in the fall to engage 10,000 Michigan citizens in a process designed to facilitate Michigan's economic transforn1ation. Phil Powers has a leadership role in this effort. Mr. Collier suggested inviting Mr. Powers to the next commission meeting to brief us on this effmi since it will be a vohmteer driven effort. II.

Executive Director's Report A. Mentor Michigan 1. Male Recruitment Challenge Update - Paula VanDam gave an update on the challenge for National Mentoring Month. The MCSC engaged 32 mentoring organizations who participated in the challenge. It was a contest to recruit male mentors in January. We found that 32 organizations recruited almost 300 new mentors during the month. Bob Kahle conducted interviews/focus groups with representatives from the 32 organizations to find out key lessons from the challenge. The general consensus was that it was successful and we should do it again next year. The organizations felt that having Dan be the public face during National Mentoring Month to create public awareness of mentoring helped them with their local recruitment efforts. This year the MCSC recognized two organizations, the one who recruited the most male mentors and the one who had the highest percentage recruitment of male mentors, with a $2,000 cash award. Mr. Kahle recommended that the MCSC repeat this incentive, but rather than the incentive be just about quantity, we create some additional categories (innovation, engaging more board members around recruitment of male mentors, etc.) around broader goals. We discussed whether it might be more effective to move the timing (possibly summertime) ofthe challenge from January as many school-based mentoring programs aren't recruiting in January. This would also create activity twice a year around mentor recruitment. 2. W.K. Kellogg Foundation- Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC received a $360,000 two-year grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation that will help the MCSC move the men in mentoring initiative forward and allow more corporate engagement around mentoring. This funding will provide resources to support the work Michigan Campus Compact has been doing in increasing the number of mentors from higher education institutions with a specific emphasis around engaging more men. The MCSC will also develop some media partnerships to talk about the recruitment of male mentors on an ongoing basis. Ms. VanDam thanked Commissioner Chris Kwak for all the work she did in helping with the grant. Kyle Caldwell noted that the MCSC has also received funding from Hudson Webber, John Hancock, and now Kellogg Foundation to support Mentor Michigan. Ms. VanDam explained that in the past $50,000 of the $250,000 VIG monies supported Mentor Michigan. That money was granted to CMA to offset the staffing cost for Mentor Michigan. We are not able to fund any new grants that relate to the general fund dollars so we will not be able to access that $50,000 from the FY07 budget to support Mentor Michigan. The MCSC is also beginning conversations with Hudson Webber about the next phase of funding. They are interested in continuing funding. The MCSC will submit a funding proposal in September with a decision expected from them in December. 3. Father's Day Initiative- Chairman Mulhem shared an idea around Mentor Michigan and Father's Day. Many kids are without a dad to give a tie to for 3 �Father's Day. He suggested getting a merchandiser (Macy's, Meijer, etc.) to do a campaign around Father's Day; when someone purchases a tie, a portion would go to Mentor Michigan to support the recruitment of mentors for those kids or families that don ' t have a dad in the household . Another suggestion was to get ties from YIPs (Bill Ford, Joe Dumars, Rick Wagner, etc) and auction them off along with having a retail piece. Commissioner Lawson offered to chair a subcommittee to look into this irutiative. 4. Mentoring Conference - Ms. VanDam gave an update on the Mento ring Conference which will be held on October 24 in Lansing. David Eisner, CEO of CNCS, will be a keynote speaker. The second keynote is DeVone Boggan from Lansing. Some Providers Council members have heard him speak at national conference, and indicate he is a dynamic speaker who will bring mentoring expertise to the conference. Trainers will also come from the National Mentor Partnership. Kyle Caldwell suggested with the enormous success of last year's conference, it may be worthwhile to get sponsors for the annual conference. This will help with sustainability of Mentor Michigan. Ms. VanDam shared that staff has had that conversation and will also look at adjusting the rates for the conference to help cover the costs and possibly be a revenue generator. Past policy has been to focus corporate sponsorships on GSA; we need to consider whether some corporations are a better fit for Mentor Michigan. Commissioner Lawson also suggested looking at the depth of the conference and possibly inviting Northern Ohio and Canada to participate. 5. Mentoring Sustainability Training- The MCSC was able to leverage national trainers to come to Michigan June 27 and 28 for sustainability training for mentoring organizations. As Bob Kahle has presented from the census data, there is a need to work with mentoring organizations to strengthen their fundraising capacity. 6. Mentor Michigan VISTAs- Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC is working with Evan Albert to expand the current Mentor Michigan VISTA program. The primary focus in the past few years has been to develop local mentoring collaboratives and help expand mentoring in community-wide. The MCSC intends to expand the scope of these mentoring programs to include engaging mentors for kids in foster care or kids aging out of foster care, and will include mentoring programs interested in developing mentoring for kids with an incarcerated parent. Evan Albert has also agreed to place two VISTAs at the MCSC to assist Amber Reiss in Mentor Michigan operations. One will serve as an outreach person to focus on higher education, men in mentoring, and supporting collaboratives. The other position will focus on initiatives for kids aging out of foster care, kids with incarcerated parents, and developing resources for programs wanting to develop in these areas. 4 �B. National Service Update 1. AmeriCorps Week (May 13-20)- Ms. VanDam shared that this is the first ever CNCS National AmeriCorps Week. The staffhas worked to have a very big and successful week. Many of the Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are working on local events. Legislators and funders will be the key audiences that the MCSC will work to educate around AmeriCorps. The MCSC will also target AmeriCorps Alums . The MCSC is creating a brochure to distribute to these groups, a video to show during the opening session at the Nonprofit Superconference (since it is during AmeriCorps Week), arranging for an AmeriCorps member to speak, and hosting an onsite service project at the Superconference. Representative Steve Tobocman is a former AmeriCorps member and has been asked to do a House Resolution on the floor in support of AmeriCorps Week. We will have 20 AmeriCorps members attend for the resolution. AmeriCorps programs will also schedule legislator visits that week. Chai1man Mulhem will participate in the Grand Rapids area event and will also interview an AmeriCorps member on his radio program to talk about service and leadership. Commissioners will be asked to present Govemor proclamations at local events. 2. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- The project is scheduled for June 6th and ih and will take place in the Core City Neighborhood located in Detroit. Commissioners were asked to look at the list that was distributed for some ofthe supplies that are needed to see if they could assist (bottled water, transportation, lunch, snacks, etc). 3. National Service Reauthorization - Kyle Caldwell gave an update on Reauthorization. The Corporation and the programs it created (AmeriCorps, Leam and Serve) were established in 1993 and authorized for 5 years. The programs and funding have been operating without authorization since 1998. If funding and an appropriation are not allocated, we risk losing the support and the legal authority to run the progran1. Since 1998, there have been three attempts to get Congress to reauthorize the program. In 2002, Congressman Pete Hoekstra authored a bill that would reauthorize National Service but contained amendments that would have changed the face ofNational Service. State commissions were not in favor; however it was the first piece of legislation introduced that would reauthorize this program. In Febmary, several key stakeholders worked on an advisory committee for reauthorization. Mr. Caldwell represented state commissions on this committee. The committee drafted a letter of recommendations for the HHS oversight committee. Some of the highlights include providing additional authority to support state commissions, making AmeriCorps a traditional full time corps, authorizing more funding for Learn & Serve, and removing some red tape. The HHS oversight committee accepted these recommendations and will put them in the bill for reauthorization. There will be a vote in the House in late summer or early fall to reauthorize National Service for 3-5 years. 5 �C. Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) Update- Ms. VanDam shared that the Governor issued directives based on the states' revenue shortages that will not allow us to provide a new grant to the Volunteer Investment Grant during the FY07 fiscal year. The VIG is currently in the Senate version of the FY08 budget. In the interim Diana Algra will review the initial proposals and make adjustments to the existing revenues so that they can continue to fund the grants to the new volunteer centers that were emerging and the expansion grants to those centers that wanted to expand the geographic area they are serving. D. State Budget Update for FY07 and FY08 - Garry Gross reviewed the handout explaining the Governor's directives and indicated impact for the MCSC. The directive that will have the biggest impact on the MCSC is the State Grant Expenditures. Some of the smaller ArneriCorps programs may be impacted more negatively than larger programs. Mr. Gross also distributed a handout outlining the FY08 MCSC Budget. E. Governor's Service Awards - Mary Grill gave an update on the Governor' s Service Awards and shared that $105,000 has been raised. There are several asks still out and we are waiting those responses. The commissioners were urged to continue their follow up as the money raised will be more important next year as the MCSC goes through the budget process. The Miracles will be the headliner for the event, which will be themed "The Miracle of Volunteering". This event is 100% paid for with private contributions. Chairman Mulhern thanked the committee for their hard work this year. E. State and National Volunteerism Reports - Mary Grill explained that the Commissioners received the Giving and Volunteering in Michigan brochure which is a product of a research partnership between MNA, CMA and Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF). In addition to this being released during National Volunteer Week, a national study from the CNCS was issued. The methodologies of the two studies are different, so the results were very different. The MCSC is using the CMF study to focus on Michigan's national ranking. Michigan is 1ih out of 50 states in the rate of volunteering. Ms. VanDam shared that the key points from these studies will be added to the talking points that the Commissioners will receive. F. ConnectMichigan Alliance I Michigan Nonprofit Association Merger Commissioner Lawson gave an update on the merger. The boards have voted and approved a merger. There will be a separate entity, the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Advisory Committee, that will oversee the endowment and ensure that expenditures are in keeping with the intentions of the donors . CMA will dissolve as a nonprofit and become Michigan Nonprofit Association. The MCSC will have two seats on the CMA Endowment Advisory Committee (there will be 8 seats total) and one seat on the MNA board. The next MCSC Executive Committee meeting will decide who will fill these seats. Commissioner Mawby shared that everyone is excited by this process and the leadership with MNA and CMA to bring this about. They are confident this merger will benefit the nonprofit efforts in Michigan. The Executive 6 �Committee ofMNA indicated they are recommending to the full board ofMNA that Kyle Caldwell be the Executive Officer (President). Everyone involved with the process are delighted with the new leadership. Sam Singh will remain engagee with the transition process for a period of time. Commissioner Mawby asked Chairman Mulhern for a motion to give the MCSC Executive Committee authorization to name the member that will serve on the MNA Board and the two members that will serve on the CMA Endowment Advisory Committee. Commissioner Collier supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, a packet will be sent out to Commissioners not present asking for their support. Mr. Caldwell clarified that the terms served have not been determined yet but that the Advisory Committee is not a permanent seat so the person will serve until replaced. The MNA board seat is a permanent seat (there will be 17 permanent seats including the MCSC seat) which means the MCSC will always have a seat on this board. The merger will be approved by the MNA board at their May board meeting and will become effective July 1, 2007 . CMA is the grantee organization for several national service programs. Mr. Caldwell explained all grant responsibilities will be transferred to MNA. V. Follow Up from Retreat A. Public Policy - Chairman Mulhern explained that with the change in leadership, it would be worthwhile to extend the goals established from the retreat from a 12-month period to an 18-month period to give Musette a chance to review the draft plans for both public policy and communication. An action plan for the next six months was presented so that Commissioners could see staff plans to move forward on some of the goals from the retreat. Ms. VanDam went through the public policy plan. Because of the recent funding cuts at both the federal and state levels, the staff recommended the board adopt resolutions related to both of those items. The first resolution asks the board to call for the restoration of funding for National Service programs to the FY04 levels. The second resolution is for the restoration of state funding for the MCSC and related programs (VIG) at the FY07 levels. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the two MCSC Board Resolutions. Commissioner Collier moved to support the resolutions. Commissioner Colaianne seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, a packet will be sent out to Commissioners not present to get their approval. Ms. VanDam explained the financial situation at both the state and national levels have resulted in rapid activities requiring rapid responses. The MCSC staff requests commissioners authorization for MCSC to use their names as it relates to correspondence (sign on letters) to elected officials and the general public related to the above board resolutions . Commissioners do not need to add their organization names. Before the commissioners' names are added to 7 �any correspondence, the MCSC staff will present to the Public Policy Committee or the Executive Committee for approval. Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC Annual Report will be going out to both state legislators and members of congress with an introduction letter from Musette Michael to help educate them on the work of the MCSC. Commissioners were also asked to fill out the yellow legislative contact form that was distributed to help the MCSC develop a calendar of when Commissioners are meeting with legislators and so that MCSC staff can provide them with information to share about the Commission. B. Communications Plan- Mary Grill reviewed the communications activities that will be happening over the next few months. The MCSC has been sending out monthly electronic newsletters that have been initiated this past year (monthly newsletter on Mentor Michigan and a bi-monthly newsletter on MCSC news in general). Commissioner Pardoe will be chairing the Communications Committee for the next few months and will be asking for Commissioner assistance on the committee. C. Baby Boomer Initiative - Paula VanDam explained that she held a meeting to discuss engaging baby boomers around volunteerism. Representatives from each of the areas that work with boomers attended. They discussed what is happening at the state and national levels, identified barriers, and what we can do as a Commission and collectively as a group. Boomers want a meaningful experience (they don't want to just stuff envelopes). Everyone felt the most value would be in building the capacity of nonprofits to engage these volunteers. The group felt that it is better to pick two or three key issue areas (mentoring, kids aging out of foster care, etc) and market those issues rather than a general volunteerism recruitment campaign. The group also liked the idea of developing a packet of materials to be included in retirement packets for both private and public sector retirees so that there is a piece in their retirement materials that talks about volunteering, how to connect in their local community, and what are volunteer opportunities. The MCSC staff will be exploring these initiatives and the resources needed for them and will report back to the Commissioners at the September meeting. D. DHS Priorities - Ms. VanDam explained that MCSC has been mapping out and matching where MCSC programs are located and where the DHS initiatives are located (Family Resource Centers, Cities of Promise). The MCSC will begin to strategically look at what two or three areas have the most overlap and the most opportunity to make an impact. The staff wanted Musette to have the opportunity to weigh in on this discussion before making recommendations. VI.

I also want to acknowledge how grateful I am for the outstanding and dedicated work Paula has provided during the past eight months as she served in the dual role of acting executive director and deputy director.

It's inspiring to know that volunteerism and civic participation are near all-time highs especially at a time when our communities have so many demands for resources . Taking part in community service is one way to help meet the needs of our neighborhoods and the personal fulfillment can be priceless. Many people, especially the youth, believe they have the power to make a difference by volunteering. I am pleased to say that Michigan has a state agency, The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), which supports programs that encourage residents to volunteer. Volunteerism doesn't just happen - it requires resources. MCSC helps with volunteer recruitment, management, training, placement, and recognition. The agency helps community organizations to engage thousands of Michigan citizens in volunteer services. A great example of our work is <INSERT> that provides <INSERT WHAT IT DOES>. Michigan has an ideal quality of life and is recognized nationally because our citi zens believe so strongly in the value of service as a way of life. Agencies such as MCSC give us the opportunity to make our patriotism real - to benefit ourselves, our communities, and our country. It is my hope that you will be encouraged to volunteer and help to make a difference in the world we live in.

It was a huge success. Mentor Michigan Update Paula VanDam shared that Meijer is offering Mentor Michigan $2.00 for every $25.00 gift card sold on Saturday, June 16, and Sunday, June 17. The proceeds will go to recruiting mentors. Dan Mulhern will have Mark Murray, Meijer CEO, on his radio program on Friday to promote it. Mr. Mulhern shared that he has spoken with National Mentor Partnership and they are excited about the idea "Ties that Bind" for a promotion next year (Father's Day) around mentoring. �Ms. VanDam also shared that Oprah Winfrey aired a show on May 31 st that focused on mentoring. The MCSC received a number of calls following the show with people interested in mentoring or looking for a mentor for a child. The MCSC is working with some of the local programs to track the number of calls they receive around the show. The show will reair on June 29th _ Governor's Service Awards Update The fundraising is going well. We have raised $180,000 and have some additional potential sponsors. The MCSC staff is working to distribute tickets to all organizations and nonprofits interested. MNAICMA Merger (Approval Item) The MCSC will need to select one representative to serve on the MNA board. Commissioners recommended that the Executive Director of the MCSC should serve as that representative. Commissioner Collier made a motion to approve this recommendation. Commissioner Mawby supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The MCSC will need to select two representatives to serve on the MNA Fund Advisory Committee. Staff recommended that Rob Collier and Janet Lawson serve as the representatives of this committee. Commissioner Mawby made a motion to approve this recommendation. Commissioner Pardoe supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Commissioner Collier abstaining. Chairman Mulhern shared that this will give us great expertise on this committee. He also shared that we need to keep in mind our priorities as they are working on the FY'09 budget. The merger is effective July 1, 2007. AmeriCorps Formula Funding (Approval Item) Paula VanDam gave background on the funding recommendations (see memo from Paula VanDam dated June 10, 2007). Due to staff and executive director changes, Catholic Family Services pulled out of the application process late Friday, June 8. The funding amount that was recommended for this program will be redistributed to those programs that took larger cuts. The staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount for the following applicants: Char-Em ISD ($113 ,500), The Guidance Center ($194,361), Marquette Alger RESA ($166,824), The Regents of the Univ. of Michigan ($273 ,480), Campfire USA West MI Chapter ($122,397), Volunteer Muskegon ($180,315), and Habitat for Humanity Michigan ($322,768). Commissioner Mawby made a motion to approve this recommendation. Commissioner Pardoe supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The staff recommends funding at the recommended amount for the following new/recompete applicants: Boys and Girls Club ofBenton Harbor ($132,040), Huron Pines ($125 ,805), MI Dept of Agriculture ($161, 168), MI Primary Care Association ($226,278), Communities in Schools Detroit ($264,600), Good Samaritan Ministries ($131 ,050), and BHK Child Development ($367,877). �There was discussion on the percentage of cut that Communities in Schools Detroit received. Commissioners agreed to transfer one FTE from BHK Child Development (from 31 to 30) to Communities in Schools Detroit (from 21 to 22). MCSC staff will reallocate the funds from that FTE to Communities in Schools Detroit. With this redistribution, Commissioner Mawby made a motion to support the recommendations. Commissioner Pardoe supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern noted that the MCSC has lost $1 million in competitive funding. There needs to be a discussion on a strategy to retain the competitive funding. Ms. VanDam shared that the CNCS has a new 5-year strategic plan with their priorities around engaging babyboomers, youth in service, and mobilizing volunteers. The MCSC would have a better chance of receiving competitive funding with programs that focus on these priority areas. The MCSC Funding Committee shared the same concerns. They will be meeting late summer to discuss a strategy for receiving more competitive funds. Chairman Mulhern suggested a session at the mentoring conference in October that would engage our mentoring community around AmeriCorps funding opportunities. He also suggested that it may be helpful to have an AARP person on the MCSC Board. He would like to hear from the MCSC Funding Committee at the September board meeting on how the MCSC can be more successful in receiving competitive funding. Update on State Budget Musette Michael gave a quick update on the budget and shared that the MCSC funding is back in the FY'07 budget. FY'08 budget negotiations are still taking place but at this point the MCSC funding is still in the budget. The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 am. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JENNIFER M .
