As members of the House Education and Labor Committee, we urge you to support reauthorization of CNCS as outlined in the GIVE Act, as well as sufficient appropriations for FY08. We encourage you to fund CNCS at $804.4 million, the amount set in the Senate LHHS appropriations bill. This is substantially less than the program received in FY04, when it received more than $935 million in federal appropriations. Sufficient funding is essential for our national service programs to continue their important work. Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Uving We understand that the fiscal environment is extremely challenging, but this is not the time to cut funding for programs that serve those most in need. Our service programs represent prudent and cost-effective investments in citizens who are helping to meet community needs. In 2006 alone, the outcomes are impressive: Michael Thomas Sagmaw County Prosecuting Attorney • Shaun VanHorn Law Student Kenneth Whipple CMSEnergy Larry Will iamson Comcast Cable Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran Kalamazoo College Kathy Young-Welch Welch Group • The 891 Michigan 's AmeriCorps Members mentored and tutored disadvantaged children, recruited volunteers, protected our environment, built affordable housing, and prepared for and responded to disasters. In addition to the 700,000 hours of service AmeriCorps members in Michigan gave, members recruited more than 25,000 vo lunteers whose service is valued at more than $2 .9 million. �The Honorable Vernon Ehlers, The Honorable Peter Hoekstra The Honorable Dale Kildee, The Honorable Tim Walberg August 23, 2007 Page Two • • The 51,000 Learn and Serve- Michigan students served more than 1 million hours in projects connected service meeting critical community needs with classroom learning in science, math, social studies, language arts, and more. In 2006, Michigan leveraged $5 .3 million in funds to match the $6.8 million federal dollars granted to fund its AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve. To support that work, we urge you to support robust national service funding and the reauthorization as negotiations continue with regard to CNCS . Sincerely, Daniel G.

Evan Albert, Corporation for National and Community Service Diana Algra, Volunteer Centers of Michigan Kyle Caldwell, ConnectMichigan Alliance Mary Grill, Michigan Community Service Commission Garry Gross, Michigan Community Service Commission Janice Harvey, Michigan Community Service Commission Amy Srnitter, Michigan Campus Compact Welcome and Introduction - Chairman Dan Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:20 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. 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 �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 Department 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 opportunity 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 connected 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 ofvolunteer 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 volunteerism 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 transformation. 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 effort since it will be a volunteer driven effort. II. Review and Approval of February 21, 2007 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 21 , 2007 board meeting. Commissioner Pardoe moved to approve the Minutes; Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhern A. The commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from March 16, 2007. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the minutes, Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, and Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2 �IV. 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) of the 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 Mulhern 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 recmitment 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 initiative. 4. Mentoring Conference - Ms. VanDam gave an update on the Mentoring Conference which will be held on October 24 in Lansing. David Eisner, CEO ofCNCS, 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 oflast 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. Chairman Mulhern 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 Governor proclamations at local events. 2. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project - The project is scheduled for June 6th and 7th 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 of the 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, Learn 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 program. 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 February, 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 17th 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 of MNA indicated they are recommending to the full board of MNA 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 giye 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 ofPromise). 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.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:20 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. Commissioner Joe Sowmick, who was hosting the meeting, welcomed everyone. He shared that he recently interviewed MSU basketball coach, Tom Izzo, for their tribal newsletter and spoke with him about the efforts the Governor and First Gentleman are making around mentoring youth in our state. He shared tribal information and thanked Tribal Chief Cantu for the support the tribal council has given to mentoring. He stated that Dr. Mawby helped secure grant funding for the tribe through the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for their mentoring program, i 11 Generation, and that it is currently in its 9111 year. Commissioner Sowmick introduced Tribal Chief Cantu who welcomed everyone and shared that it is an honor and privilege to host the meeting and invited everyone to tour the cultural museum following the meeting. Chairman Mulhern reviewed the status of the Commissioner membership. Laurie Stupak and Kathy Young-Welch resigned due to other commitments. Kari Pardoe will be leaving due to being "term limited". Shaun VanHorn's term has expired; he has requested not to be reappointed due to attending law school in New York. Upon graduation he will be taking a job in Chicago. Wendy Acho will be moving to Washington DC and will not be reappointed. Jerry Seese and Elizabeth Bunn will be reappointed. The MCSC staff is working with the Governor's Appointments office to fill current vacancies. Chairman Mulhern shared the important role the commission has in shaping policy and approving grants for funding national service. The Commission is looking for dynamic people that are willing to create a culture of service. II. Review and Approval of April 27, 2007 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the April27, 2007 board meeting. Commissioner Colaianne moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Chairman Dan Mulhern A. The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from June 11, 2007. Executive Committee members approved the recommendation to have the MCSC Executive Director serve as the representative on the MNA board. They also approved AmeriCorps Fonnula funding.

The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from August 17, 2007. Executive Committee members approved Learn and Serve funding. Mr. Mulhern asked for a motion to support the minutes, Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, and Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2 �IV. Executive Director's Report Musette Michael updated the Commissioners on several upcoming events. The Mentor Michigan Statewide Conference will take place on October 24. David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), will be the keynote speaker. Following his speech, there will be a Commissioner round table discussion. All Commissioners are invited to attend. It will be a great opportunity to talk with David about the vision for the CNCS and how Michigan can further that vision. David will then give a keynote speech at the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference in Grand Rapids and participate in a town hall meeting with national service programs. The AmeriCorps Member Celebration will take place on November 13th in conjunction with the MCSC Board Meeting. Executive Directors of the programs that host the AmeriCorps programs will have lunch with the Commissioners. The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place on June 11-12, 2008 in Benton Harbor. Ms. Michael also explained that Commissioners received a copy of a draft op-ed piece about the Time Magazine article on national service and urged them to submit them to their local newspapers. Ms. Michael will be meeting with each of the Commissioners prior to the next MCSC board meeting to hear what ideas Commissioners have and the direction they would like to see the Commission go. A. Staff Reorganization - Ms. Michael reviewed the new MCSC staff organization chart and gave background on the new DHS Director, Ismael Ahmed. She explained that due to cuts in the Learn and Serve funding, the MCSC could no longer fund two Learn and Serve Program officers. With the departure of Mark Mullaney, Jeanine Yard was able to transfer to the AmeriCorps program officer position. B. Mentor Michigan Ms. Michael and Amber Reiss gave Chairman Mulhern special recognition for his role in supporting Mentor Michigan including donating stipends that he receives from speaking engagements and spearheading the Mackinac Bridge Run/Swim that raised over $55,000. 1. W.K. Kellogg Funding I Male Recruitment Update - One of Mentor Michigan's key initiatives is recruiting more male mentors. The MCSC has received a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for $360,000 over the course of two years. That funding along with funding received from John Hancock will help kick off the Men in Mentoring Pilot. The first phase is to work with six pilot sites around the state and to grant out money to these sites to implement different strategies for recruiting male mentors. There are four mentoring programs and two mentoring collaboratives from around the state that will be part of the pilot. Over the course of the next two years these sites will recruit 2,000 new male mentors. Pace and Partners will be working with these sites to help promote the initiative. 2. Mentor Michigan VISTAs - Amber Reiss gave an update on the Mentor 111 Michigan VISTA program. Mentor Michigan is beginning the 4 year of the Mentoring AmeriCorps*VISTA progran1, has been awarded 15 3 �members, and will kick off the first group of 10 members who will begin their service on October 15. Two members will be housed at the MCSC to work on special initiatives. Katie Clark will work on partnerships and outreach with mentoring collaboratives. Joan Johnson will focus on special initiatives with a focus on youth aging out of foster care, children of incarcerated parents, baby boomers, and men in mentoring. The other members will be serving across the state working on these same initiatives. 3. Mentoring Conference - The conference will take place on October 24111 in Lansing. Chairman Mulhern will lead a workshop and David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, will be a keynote speaker. After Mr. Eisner's keynote speech, he will participate in a round table discussion with Commissioners. MCSC staff will prepare talking points for the Commissioners. We should recognize what David has accomplished and be clear on his priorities. Due to MCSC cuts in competitive funding, the MCSC should feature a program that did not get funded competitively but is now funded through formula funding. Mr. Eisner will also be participating in a national service town hall meeting. Amber Reiss thanked Commissioner Sowmick for the tribe's sponsorship of the conference. Chairman Mulhern commented that the key message at the 2006 Mentoring Conference was on recruiting male mentors. Mentor Michigan, along with Commissioners, have done a lot of work this year to address that issue. He thanked Commissioner K wak for her help in securing the W.K. Kellogg grant. C. AmeriCorps Celebration- The AmeriCorps Member Celebration will take place on November 13. The MCSC board meeting will also take place on the same date. Commissioners will have lunch with the executive directors of the organizations that host AmeriCorps programs during this meeting. D. Learn and Serve Update - Ms. Michael explained that the Learn and Serve Challenge took place September 17-23 and was very successful. Angelia Salas secured a Governor' s proclamation and Board of Education resolution in support of service-learning. This helps to emphasize the impact and importance of service-learning. Learn and Serve grantees will meet on October 24-25 and will combine with AmeriCorps program directors for the town hall meeting with David Eisner. The Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement will take place on February 7-8, 2008 . Ms. Michael announced at the Annual Urban Service-Learning Institute that the MCSC will grant $40,000 to Detroit school applicants for planning and implementing service-learning in Detroit Public Schools. E. Advocacy I National Service Update 1. National Service Reauthorization and Funding- Ms. Michael shared that Commissioners sent letters to Congressional members outlining support for reauthorization and federal funding. Ms. Michael visited several Congressional members' district offices in August to educate them on national service. Voices for National Service hosted a Hill Day in 4 �September. Because the MCSC and DHS have a no travel policy, Joe Dooley, from the Governor' s Washington DC office, participated in several Hill visits along with Kyle Caldwell and other representatives of Michigan's national service programs. Kyle Caldwell shared additional comments on the Hill Day visits and shared that Michigan was very well represented. He also gave an update on FY08-09 appropriations. Learn and Serve funding is at a critical point. If it is cut $1 more, the money will not go out on a competitive basis because it will be too small and will be distributed on a formula basis. It is critical that Learn and Serve funding be restored to previous levels to avoid this. He gave an update on reauthorization (the GIVE Act). It calls for an increase in AmeriCorps members to 100,000, it decreases the red tape on programs, and it removes some of the federal match requirements. It also allows members to earn an aggregate of 2 fulltime education awards, it authorizes a Summer of Service program for middle and high school students, it reduces the age eligibility for Senior Corps, and it increases the education award for the first time. Voices for National Service (the broad coalition representing all sorts of national service programs) has three issues with the bill as introduced and if they are not addressed, Voices will not support the bill. First, AmeriCorps funding allocation should be changed. There should be funding for states to allocate on a formula basis and the rest should be competitive. Second, the community-based funding for Learn and Serve should be restored. The bill calls for elimination of Learn and Serve funding to local nonprofit organizations. Third, the competitive programs within Senior Corps should be asked to compete for funds . ServeMichigan will inform Commissioners through their listserv when there is any movement on the budget or reauthorization. Commissioners received a copy ofMCSC Fast Facts to share with others when they are out in their communities. Because of the information shared by Kyle Caldwell on national service funding, it is very important that Michigan's voice be heard. Commissioners were asked to share the information from their Fast Facts whenever they are out in their communities or speaking with legislators. 2. Time Magazine Article - Commissioners received a copy of a draft op-ed to send in to their local newspapers that is a follow-up to the Time Magazine piece on national service. F. State Budget Update - Garry Gross stated that the MCSC is waiting on budget information. He also shared that Doug Godesky from CNCS came to the MCSC office for a grant site visit/audit the beginning of September. Doug went through the policies and procedures for the MCSC and also went on an AmeriCorps program site visit. He went over the time and attendance, contracts, draw downs, and the grant process and was very pleased. The grant systems that the MCSC has in place are very strong. 5 �G. Governor's Service Awards- Mary Grill gave an overview of the GSA proceeds. Commissioners received a 2007 Financial Summary from the GSA. The GSA netted over $101,000, which is the highest ever netted for GSA. Expenses were decreased between $30,000- $40,000 from 2006 to 2007. MCSC staff created a wish list for spending around the Blueprint for Action. It is broken down into five areas: Mentor Michigan ($40,000), Baby Boomers Initiative ($10,000), Professional Development ($10,000), Service-Learning ($30,000) and AmeriCorps ($10,000). Staff is recommending the largest amount for Mentor Michigan with the majority of those funds paying for the Census. Service-Learning is receiving the second largest amount of money which is to utilize an outside research company to document the work of the MCSC. Commissioner Kwak commented that these items look like areas that could be funded by grant money and wondered how much grant writing the Commission is doing. There is momentum around the male mentor recruitment and could be a very fundable type of program. Mary Grill answered that fund development has been added to the Blueprint for Action. The MCSC would like to have a larger fund development plan so that we don't use GSA as our only major way of raising funds for other things we want to do at the Commission. Commissioner Kwak offered her assistance if the MCSC wants to have a conversation around grant writing. It might be worth taking a look at getting some of these more programmatic areas funded externally and using the GSA proceeds to fund the hard things that no one from the outside would want to fund. It was suggested that the MCSC could possibly get an intern to help with grant writing. Commissioner Collier stated that funders sometimes look for there to be a leverage amount before considering funding a program. It was suggested that some of the GSA proceeds could be used to leverage other funding. Commissioner Collier suggested endorsing the projects on the list with the understanding that we would look at the opportunity to leverage these dollars. Commissioner Parker asked whether there has been any communication strategy around promoting volunteerism. The GSA sponsors could be told that their funding has generated XX amount of increased volunteers. The internet is a great tool to use to promote volunteerism. Commissioner Lawson stated that she feels that there is a difference between a fund development committee and a committee that will creatively talk about what kind of grants we want to go after, our strategy, how can we connect one organization to another, and how we can stop going out and looking for money as opposed to selling our ideas. It would be a subcommittee within the Fund Development Committee to discuss strategy for receiving more funding. Commissioners Lawson, Kwak, Collier and Parker agreed to serve on this committee. 6 �Commissioner Collier stated that it is easier when fund raising for GSA to identify the programming (Mentor Michigan, Service Learning, etc) that the proceeds will be used for. Chairman Mulhern said that the Kellogg grant for Men in Mentoring came about because of the GSA proceeds that were spent on the Mentor Michigan census. Those funds have then generated the additional funding through the Kellogg grant which will recruit an additional 2000 mentors. Commissioner Collier asked to keep at least two of the initiatives on the list from a marketing standpoint and look for leverage opportunities with the additional funds. It is important that money raised from GSA is supporting programming (Mentor Michigan). Mary Grill said that sponsors frequently ask that proceeds be spent on specific programming areas (State Farm - Service Learning, Pistons - mentoring). Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations and to use these programming dollars to leverage additional funding. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the staff recommendations and Commissioner Williamson second the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mary Grill will communicate with Commissioners via email around the details for the 2008 Governor's Service Awards (venue, format, etc.). H. MNA Update - Kyle Caldwell shared that the merger was completed on July 1 and is going well. Musette Michael will represent MCSC on the board. The Endowment Advisory Committee will be convening soon and Commissioners Lawson and Collier serve on that committee. The Nonprofit Superconference will take place on May 13-14, 2008 in Lansing. Commissioner Pardoe gave a quick update on The LEAGUE which supports volunteerism and servicelearning. This program provides lesson plans that meet the benchmarks and standards that teachers have to meet. It engages students in service-learning around certain events and then captures that by assigning points to it. This allows them to give a dollar value of how much each student, classroom and school is giving back to their community. They will be kicking off a national launch in November and then statewide launches will follow . Ms. Pardoe hopes to continue to work with the MCSC Learn and Serve team to make a big impact in service-learning. V. Blueprint for Action - Ms. Michael explained that the Blueprint for Action is the strategic plan for the MCSC. The information comes from the Commissioner Retreat in February and also from the CNCS Strategic Plan. We took our goals from the MCSC mission statement: provide vision, provide resources, and strengthen communities. The goals each have strategies within them and MCSC staffhave identified activities and implementation factors around each strategy. A Communications calendar was distributed to Commissioners outlining MCSC activities for the next year that are part of the communications plan. It is a "work in process" and will be developed further throughout the year. VI.

VanDan1, Deputy Director Michigan Community Service Conm1ission RE: StaffRecommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Programs- REVISED DATE: June 10, 2007 Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New Applications Background The Corporation for National and Community Service recently notified us about our competitive funding for AmeriCorps. We had submitted 8 applications for funding with an aggregate request of$2,856,335. The Corporation had $50 million available and had requests for over $100 million. The CNCS selected three of our applications for funding: City Year- $580,744 Jumpstart- $142,434 MSU Extension 4H- $700,638 Our total award of competitive funding is $1,423 ,816. City Year and MSUE had been funded previously with competitive funds . Jumpstart is new to the competitive funds. Three of our existing programs lost their competitive funding: BHK Chi ld De~elopment in the Upper Peninsula, Dept of Agriculture's Groundwater program, and Good Samaritan Ministries Mentoring Program. This equates to a loss of$ 1,043,949. We have asked CNCS for feedback as to why these applications were not selected. We had also submitted an application from Huron Pines, a new applicant located in northern Mich.igan that will focus on building the capacity of environmental organizations in a five county area. This is a geographic area where we have never had a program located. They applied last year and we were �interested in funding them, along with three other organizations, but did not have the funds to do so . They did not receive competitive fundin g either. The MCSC staff worked with the funding committee to decide which programs to submit for competitive funding. Part of their interest was to give new organizations a chance for the funding rather than to continue to on.ly support existing programs. As a result, we asked the four new organizations that we were interested in funding last year if they would be interested in submitting a competitive application this year. Huron Pines was the only organization that was interested in doing so. Recommendations: After significant discussion with the staff and the funding committee of the board, we are recommending to the Executive Committee that we fund BHK, Dept of Agriculture, Good Sam Ministries, and Huron Pines with our formula funds . To do so, we had to make cuts to some of the currently funded programs as well as BHK. When deciding on the cuts, we looked at the amount they received in the 2006-07 year, the amount they were requ esting in 2007-08, their member enrollment and retention rates for 05-06 and 0607, their overall program performance, and their application scores. In the case of BHK, we also looked at need and population. We also factored in that when BHK was formula funded in the past it was for 30 members . Please keep in mind that ten (1 0) members is the smallest size program we can support. Based on these factors, organizations would face a cut from 0% up to about 25%. Renewal Applicants The staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount for the following applicants : Legal Applicant Char-Em lSD The Guidance Center Marquette AlgerRESA The Regents of the University of Michigan Campfire USA WestMI Chapter Volunteer Muskegon Habitat for Humanity Mi chi gan Total MSY Requested Funding Requested Proposed FTE Rate FTEs Recommend Funding Recommend MSY Rate 10 18 $114,006 $205,801 $11,401 $11,433 10 17 $113,500 $194,361 $11,350 $11,433 15 $178,740 $11,916 14 $166,824 $11,916 25 $284,880 $11,395 24 $273,480 $11,395 11.7 $133,840 $11,439 10.7 $122,397 $11,439 16 $192,340 $12,021 15 $180,315 $12,021 ~ 33 $387,312 128. 7 $1,496,919 $11,737 27.5 $322,768 118.2 $1,373 ,645 $11,737 �New/Recompete Applicants The staff recommends funding at the recommended amount for the following new/recompete applicants: -Legal Applicant Catholic Family Services Boys and Girls Club ofBenton Harbor Huron Pines MI Dept of Agriculture* MI Primary Care Association Communities in Schools Detroit Good Samaritan Ministries* BHK Child Development* Total FTE Rate 0 Funding Recommended $0 $13,500 10 $132,040 $13,204 $125,805 $172,680 $12,581 $11,512 10 14 $125,805 $161,168 $12,581 $11,512 27 $339,410 $12,571 18 $226,278 $12 ,571 26 $327,600 $12,600 21 $264,600 $12,600 13 $170,369 $13,105 10 $131,050 $13,105 57 $676,407 $11,867 31 $367,877 $11,867 169 $2,095,767 114 $1,408 ,823 FTEs Requested 10 Funding Requested $135,000 Proposed FTE Rate $13,500 11 $148,496 10 15 FTEs Recommend - $0 * Lost Competitive Funding Detail supporting recommendations for Formula Renewal Funding Char-Em l SD AmeriCorps Program Counties Served: Charlevoix, Emmet The Michigan C01ru11Unity Service Commission (MCSC) respectfully recommends that the Char-Em ISD AmeriCorps program be awarded $114,006 in formula funding to engage 10 MSYs to serve youth within the Char-Em ISD for 2007-2008.

Increasing the investment would allow more Americans to serve, and create greater capacity to meet critical community needs for the benefit of children, families, the elderly, and the environment. Through AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America and the Senior Corps, more than 1.6 million citizens strengthen communities by: tutoring and mentoring children; building affordable housing; creating playgrounds and parks ; restoring the environment; teaching in underserved schools; building trails; • caring for the homebound elderly; providing critical services to low-income citizens . A dramatic example of the power of national service is the vital role it has played in post-Hurricane Katrina recovery and rebuilding in the Gulf Coast region . More than 93,000 national service members have contributed 3.5 million hours of aid to the affected communities. Participants have helped to organize and leverage an additional 262,000 volunteers in the Gulf Region - more than a quarter of the total volunteer force . Their work has included : transporting supplies and evacuees; removing and remediating mold; rebuilding homes; working in shelters; helping orient and support evacuees throughout the country; staffing hotlines; collecting and so rting donations of food , clothing, and school supplies. Our goal is to continue to grow the broad bipartisan support for national service that has emerged over the last decade. FY08 - FY09 Appropriations For the programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service, we urge Congress to adopt the funding levels approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 21: $275.8 million for AmeriCorps State and National, $217.6 million for the Senior Corps, $39 .I million for Learn and Serve America, and $31 .8 million for National Civilian Community Corps. The Senate mark is $36 million more than approved by the House. Since fiscal year 2004, federal support has been on a steady decline and all the service initiatives have been targeted for cuts. In three years, funding has declined by close to $1 00 million, a trend that must be stopped and reversed to meet the record demand for service opportunities.

The service programs are long overdue for reauthorization , and we are pleased the House Education and Workforce Committee has taken the lead and introduced H.R. 2857, the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act. Sponsored by Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) and Todd Platts (R-PA), the GIVE Act includes many important programmatic adjustments, such as: • increases AmeriCorps membership to 100,000; • decreases the administrative burden on AmeriCorps grantees by removing federal match distinctions; • allows AmeriCorps members to earn • reduces the age eligibility for Senior Corps the aggregate of 2 full-time ed awards; to 55 years; • authorizes Summer of Service program • increases AmeriCorps Education Award for middle and high school youth with a to $5 ,225. $500 stipend ; We have 3 fundamental issues with the bill as introduced, which we have asked the comm ittee to address in a manager's am e ndment: I. The AmeriCorps funding allocation should be simplified to promote quality and ease the administrative burden on grantees; II. The community-based and competitive funding streams in the Learn and Serve America program should be restored; and Ill. Competition in the RSVP program needs to be implemented in a way that recognizes how the program works and minimizes disruption to senior volunteers and their community partners . www.voicesforservice.org I 918 U Street NW, Washington, D.C. 2000 II info@voicesforservice.org I fax: 202-7 42-7 40 I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kellogg Foundation Mayor Brenda Lawrence City of Southfield Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Russell Mawby As the House-Senate conference committee convenes on the FY 2008 Labor-Health and Human Services appropriations bill, I urge you to support funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Federal appropriations for CNCS help fund Michigan's AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve, and Senior Corps programs, as well as supplement state funding for programs such as Mentor Michigan. Chair Emeritus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Susan Meston Muskegon Area Intermediate School Distrid Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Kari Pardoe The LEAGUE Michigan Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan As you know, national service programs make a difference in Michigan's communities every day. In 2006, more than 56,000 people in 125 communities across Michigan participated in one of these programs. In order to remain effective in their work, it is essential that these programs receive adequate funding. Earlier this year, the President proposed $829 million for CNCS, substantially lower than the $935 million appropriated just four years ago. Although funding has consistently declined in recent years, I was pleased that the Senate approved $881 million for CNCS for FY 2008. As the Chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission, I urge you and your colleagues to fund these programs at the Senate approved level of$881 million for FY 2008. Investing in service programs is necessary to strengthening communities in Michigan and across the United States, and I appreciate your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Joe Dooley in Governor Granholm's Washington, D.C. office at (202) 624-5840.

Advocacy committee (which includes Mary and Janice) should meet on #3 to get the ball rolling. We said we'd have the talking points and fast facts available in January. And for information in #10, I'd like to forward that information to Commissioners and staff; maybe we should ask Paula whether we should send to other partners . Thanks for your quick response. Musette >>>Jeanine Yard 11/15/2007 5:08PM >>> I actually have the contact information for item # 8. These were presenters at the Celebration rather than the mentor conference. I will forward to you and Janet first thing tomorrow. I'd like to talk to you more about item #3 Item #10 - Learning disabilities are fairly common. Megan may also be able to share some resources from inclusion committee members. Ang and I probably have some contacts at ISDs and/or MDE that can provide a list of resources as well .... so mentoring team, feel free to ask when you are researching for this answer. >>> Musette Michael11/14/07 3:49PM >>> Here is my list; Paula, Janice, and Garry ...jump in if I missed anything. I've put staff names next to items. Please let me know if I don't have the right name listed. Otherwise, please give me a response by November 27 so I can get back with the Commissioners. I'm not suggesting we implement all these ideas, but I would like the Commissioners to know we heard their ideas and are exploring the feasibility of implementing. Thanks. Musette 1.

And Breannah said that the YAC and foundation community could also help launch the Alums. She said there's an Annual Conference in June which would be a good chance to disseminate information. (Megan) 8. Janet Lawson wanted contact information on Ruth Rockwell and Raean Fleisher-Oisen from CMH presenters at the conference (Amber, Kat). 9. Learn and Serve grants ... Breannah wanted to know whether we make them to buildings ... to feeder schools? The grant to a charter school, YMCA, raised concerns with Susan Meston.
