                    <text>MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), in recognition of potential conflict of
interest situations, adopts the following policy to guide its work:
1.

Members of the MCSC are asked to declare actual or potential conflict of interest
situations at the start of each meeting where the agenda indicates such a conflict will
occur. If a conflict of interest situation develops during MCSC discussion, the
Commissioner with the conflict is expected to notify the Chairperson.
A conflict of interest is defined as a situation where a member of the MCSC or their wife,
husband, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, brother-in-law, stepbrother, sister, sisterin-law, stepsister, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, aunt, uncle,
niece, nephew, grandparents, stepparent, stepchild, or grandchild is serving or has served
in the last year as a trustee, officer, director, or employee in an entity which is requesting
approval of a grant from the MCSC or any other family or professional relationship which
a Commissioner at his/her own discretion deems a conflict of interest.

2.

Any members of the MCSC with a conflict will be called on by the Chairperson to
explain the conflict. The MCSC member will then be excused by the Chairperson while
other members of the MCSC discuss the application and vote its acceptance or denial as
well as other grant applications under the same program. Following action on the grant
request, the Commissioner may return to the MCSC work.

3.

MCSC members who are unsure about a conflict of interest situation should discuss their
concerns with the Chairperson prior to the meeting where the conflict might occur.

4.

If this restriction creates a situation in which the MCSC does not have enough eligible
voting members to achieve a quorum, the MCSC may involve the normally excluded
member subject to the following conditions:

a)

The Chairperson will randomly and in a non-discretionary manner select the
number of recused members to achieve a quorum;

b)

Notwithstanding the above, no MCSC member may, under any circumstances,
participate in any discussions or decisions regarding a grant application submitted
by an organization, which he/she is or was affiliated according to the definition
above.

c)

If recused members are included so as to achieve a quorum, the MCSC must
document the event and report it to the appropriate state, federal or private grant
making entity within 30 days of the vote.

�5.

In addition, MCSC members are restricted from directly assisting organizations of

which they are a trustee, director, officer, or employee in preparing a grant application to
theMCSC.
In general, the MCSC wants to err on the side of too stringently enforcing conflict of interest

policies in order to assure that both the fact and the perception of any unethical conduct is
avoided. I, the undersigned agree to adhere to the above policy and procedure.

2008 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
November 18, 2008
Income $174,000
Expense $75,922
Net
$98,078

Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends retaining the proceeds from the 2008 Governor' s Service Awards until the
Board assesses needs related to the MCSC transition preparation. Also, fundraising for the 2009
Governor' s Service Awards may be challenging; therefore proceeds from 2008 may need to be
available for expenses.

Weak direction
Loss momentum
Shared urgency I legacy protection
Didn't feed and care for the staff
No Turf battles
Lack of personal communications; mass emailsl communications ineffective
Not telling the story effectively, "stalled"
Conflicting messages I stay on consistent message
Lack of knowledge transfer I preservation

•
•
•

What are the funding streams and how do they impact Mentor Michigan?
What are the specific outcomes we hope to have/sustain from Mentor Michigan?
What functions achieve these outcomes?
What kind of structure will support Mentor Michigan?
Do we need a champion for Mentor Michigan separate from the MCSC? (Dan' s current
dual role)
Does Lloyd Carr have a champion (formal) role?
Is Mentor Michigan rolled into the MCSC transition planning?
Do we reactivate the corporate side of Provider Council?
Should Mentor Michigan have 501(c)(3) status?
Could the elected state Board of Education take Mentor Michigan on as an initiative?
Could MDE and DHS form a collaborative interlocal agreement?
We need to take stock on what is left to be done and what we have accomplished.
How do we maintain our focus on quality/longterm matches?
What other organization/corps would be interested in supporting us as a 501(c)(3)?
How do we obtain state and federal appropriation?
How do we fold our stats into our stories of success?
We need to develop a business case linked to studies on cost benefit (i.e. education and
corrections data, substance abuse data).
Exhaust the use of national data.
Cost benefit analysis of keeping Mentor Michigan with the Commission. Include
political/sponsor factors.
Find the money prior to getting a 50l(c)(3) established. (501(c)(3) are hard to sustain in
this economic environment.)
What' s the back-up position if our Plan A falls apart?
Task Force? Tony Campbell Chair

�I.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern
The MCSC Board Retreat concluded at 1:30 and the meeting was called to order at
1:40 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern.

II.

Review and Approval of April 25, 2008 Minutes- Chairman Dan Mulhern

Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the April
25, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes;
Commissioner Jewell seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
III.

Standing Committee Reports- Chairman Dan Mulhern
The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee meeting minutes from August
15, 2008 and June 30, 2008. Commissioner Collier asked staff to summarize the
status change in the Benton Harbor AmeriCorps program. Marcy Bishop Kates
explained that the Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor informed the MCSC that
it would be declining its AmeriCorps grant for 2008-2009. The program has gone
through significant staffing changes and has struggled to meet some of the
requirements of the grant over the last few years. The MCSC explored the idea of
finding another organization to serve as the legal applicant for the grant but the
Boys and Girls club was not interested. Staff made additional outreach to the
Benton Harbor area and three programs submitted intent to apply forms for an
AmeriCorps grant in the 2009-10 program year; the MCSC has not received
applications from them. Some of the challenges for the organizations are the match
funding and the program request for only one member (programs need to apply for
a minimum of 10). The MCSC staff will continue to actively pursue applications
from this area. Chairman Mulhern suggested contacting Whirlpool to see ifthey
can offer support. Mark McClain is a Whirlpool employee and is also the chair of
the Boys and Girls Club board.
Jeanine Yard also explained that with additional formula funds that the MCSC
received, we were able to fund a new AmeriCorps program with 20 members that
will focus on the elimination ofhomelessness. This program was initially
submitted as a competitive grant.

Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the June
30 and August 15, 200 Executive Committee meetings. Commissioner Collier
moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Jewell seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
IV. Executive Director Report- Musette Michael reminded Commissioners about the
Mentor Michigan Conference on November 17 at the Kellogg Center, the Poverty
Summit on November 13 at Coho Hall, the AmeriCorps Member Celebration on
November 18 at the Kellogg Center, and the MCSC Board Meeting on November
18 at the Kellogg Center. She also pointed to the list of Commission Board
meetings for 2009.

�A. Mentor Michigan - Paula VanDam
1. Meijer Gift Card Promotion - Paula VanDam shared that for the second year
Meijer, particularly Mark Murray, agreed to participate in the gift card
promotion. For every $25 gift card purchased June 8-11 , 2008, Meijer
donated $2 to Mentor Michigan. We received $20,000 in proceeds from the
promotion this year. Mentor Michigan will be awarding mini-grants to
mentoring organizations. Mentoring organizations that completed the recent
census will be able to apply for grants from $100-$500 that can be used to
support mentor recruitment, retention or recognition events or
mentor/mentee match activities. Applications are due October 24, 2008 .
2. Recruitment Efforts - In continuing to reach the goal set by Governor
Granholm to recruit 10,000 more mentors by 2010, Mentor Michigan is
working to spread the word to encourage people to mentor. We launched a
mentor recruitment campaign featuring Lloyd Carr. He filmed PSAs for
Mentor Michigan and will continue to serve as a spokesperson in a variety
of ways. We will also promote him during mentoring month in January.
The Michigan Municipal League is also a new partner in our recruitment
efforts. They invited Dan Mulhern and Lloyd Carr to speak at their annual
conference on Mackinac Island to ask local officials to get involved in
mentoring. That presentation included asking them to fill out a pledge card.
We received 32 pledge cards from local officials that are interested in
getting involved in mentoring in some way. The mayors from Grand
Rapids and Adrian were also part of the presentation and shared their
experience with mentoring.
Male Mentor Recruitment- There are six pilot sites/grantees that Mentor
Michigan has been working with to implement male mentor recruitment
strategies throughout the past year. Commissioner Tony Campbell' s Facts
program is one of the grantees. We will be reviewing the results to
determine what strategies are most effective. Twenty programs across the
state are participating in the Men in Mentoring Recruitment Challenge to
recruit more male mentors. The contest runs from August 1 to October 31 .
Programs will be able to win cash prizes for their mentoring programs in
five different categories. We will report the accomplishments from the
challenge at the November meeting.
The National Guard Recruitment Campaign- The designated representative
provided a list oflocal National Guard contacts so that our mentoring
programs can follow up with them to recruit male mentors.
State Employee Recruitment Campaign - Mentor Michigan launched a
partnership with each state department to recruit more state employees as
mentors. Each department has identified a liaison to work with Mentor
Michigan and we will be providing them with resources, tools, and
recruitment materials for them to share.

3

�3. Mentor Michigan Census Wave VI - The census is the way we track the
growth ofmentoring. We just concluded Wave VI ofthe census. Bob
Kahle, our evaluator, is analyzing the data for us and we will have
information to report out by December 1. This is the primary method that
we are using to measure our male recruitment success. He is also
evaluating our six pilot sites in terms of the effective strategies they are
using to recruit more male mentors. There 141 mentoring organizations
that completed the census which is the highest number of responses we 've
had.
4. 5K Run for Mentoring Match- In the past Mentor Michigan has partnered
with the Governor' s Council on Physical Fitness to participate in the
Mackinac Bridge Run. Due to costs involved with that event, this year they
decided to try something different. We have partnered with them to offer
mentor teams the opportunity to participate in the 5K Fun Run that is part of
the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon events. We had 10 mentor teams
participate. We will look at ways to get more mentoring matches involved
other than one statewide event.
5. Mentoring Conference- This year Mentor Michigan contracted with MSU
Extension for training and technical assistance. This contract includes
assistance with planning the mentoring conference. They will also be
working with local mentoring organizations around the state to provide them
with training and technical assistance. This assistance was necessary due to
MCSC capacity issues (lack of staffmg resources).
B. AmeriCorps Update- Jeanine Yard
1. Competitive Application Outreach - Ms. Yard shared that the MCSC
launched an open competitive grant process for new AmeriCorps programs
that included 4 outreach sessions in Lansing, Detroit, Kalamazoo and a
webinar. We received 25 intents to apply and received 17 actual
applications ( 10 of the intents to apply were from current grantees and the
rest were from organizations we haven't heard from before). The
applications will be processed through a peer review. There were not any
applications from Benton Harbor.
Chairman Mulhern asked the question that if the next President decided to
increase funding for AmeriCorps and triple the number of AmeriCorps
members, would the MCSC be able to handle it? Ms. Yard answered that
the MCSC could handle it but there may be some capacity issues. Some of
these communities don't have the capacity to meet the match. Ms. VanDam
explained that the MCSC would need to educate funders to explain to them
what AmeriCorps is accomplishing and the federal leverage that it brings in
terms of dollars. We haven't done this in many years and it would be good
to meet with these funders again. In 2007, the first year of AmeriCorps
Week, the MCSC put together a nice brochure highlighting the
accomplishments of AmeriCorps programs and sent that out to funders

4

�(United Ways, community foundations, etc) to get AmeriCorps back on
their radar. Commissioner Collier invited AmeriCorps members to
coordinate a service project at their recent CMF annual conference which
was very successful in bringing visibility of AmeriCorps program to the
funders.
2. AmeriCorps Week- AmeriCorps week took place the week of May 11 ,
2008. AmeriCorps week activities and events took place around the state
including during the Nonprofit SuperConference. This year the MCSC
hosted an AmeriCorps Week service project where conference participants
helped to make 150 fleece blankets that were donated to DHS for
distribution to youth in foster care. We also had AmeriCorps members
participate in the opening plenary.
3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- More than 250 AmeriCorps
members participated in the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project in the
Crystal Estates neighborhood in Benton Harbor. One of the projects
included gutting a home on the church property that will eventually be used
as a community center. Ms. VanDam explained that we may go back to
Benton Harbor again next year to complete the project in this neighborhood.
4. OnCorps- This is a new Web-based Program Management system that the
MCSC will be using. AmeriCorps programs will use this system for
reporting to the CNCS. This also provided the MCSC staff and
AmeriCorps Program Directors a great tool for data collection, calendar
updates, and ongoing communication between staff and members.
5. AmeriCorps Member Celebration- Included in Commissioners packets was
an agenda for the AmeriCorps Member Celebration. Commissioners will be
invited to participate in a lunch with leaders of the organizations that host
AmeriCorps programs and visit the AmeriCorps program exhibits. The
MCSC board meeting will also take place this same day.
C. Team Up Michigan! -Jeanine Yard
This is the second cross stream conference hosted by the MCSC and the CNCS
Michigan State Office. National service program staff from AmeriCorps, Learn
and Serve, Senior Corps, and AmeriCorps VISTA gathered for professional
development workshops, networking opportunities and information on the
critical issues facing Michigan and national service.
D. Learn &amp; Serve Update- Paula VanDam
Ms. VanDam announced that Amy Cohen, the Learn and Serve Program Officer
at the CNCS announced recently that she would be leaving. They have ·
appointed someone as an interim until the new CEO is named for CNCS and
then that person will be able to appoint someone.
1. Professional Development- We convened our Learn and Serve grantees in
early October in connection with the Team Up Michigan event. They had a
variety of trainings including implementing the new national service-

5

�learning standards. In addition to this training, in August we contracted
with the Ionia ISD, which has been phenomenal at developing professional
development tools, to conduct a four-day institute on the Michigan Merit
Curriculum and Service-Learning. They provide an overview of the high
school requirements and identified opportunities to include service-learning
as a component ofthe new curriculum. We have been getting a lot of push
back from high schools that they don't have time to implement servicelearning and this training helps to make the connection between the new
high school graduation requirements and service-learning and that it doesn't
have to be an either/or, that it can be a "both". Those that attended the
institute will be receiving coaching throughout the year.
2. Service-Learning Youth Council- The MCSC is recruiting new students to
participate in the Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC). Each of our
grantees nominates 2 students to serve on this council. The MCSC
convenes them a couple of times a year on how to be an advocate in their
community on service-learning. This summer the MCSC co-hosted a
service-learning camp with The LEAGUE (former Commissioner Kari
Pardoe heads this up) . There were 100 young people who participated in the
camp in Holly, Michigan. The agenda included workshops and activities
that helped the students explore their own leadership skills and how they
could use those skills to promote service in their communities. These
students are using our new Web 2.0 site to continue to communicate and
talk about using what they learned at the camp back in their schools. We
have offered some mini-grants to these students to plan service projects in
their community. We will partner again with The LEAGUE next summer
for a camp to continue to spread the word about service-learning and to get
more students engaged and involved.
3. Learn and Serve Challenge - We just completed the Learn and Serve
Challenge (October 6-12). The Governor proclaimed it Learn and Serve
Challenge Week. And thanks to the great work of Commissioner Susan
Meston, we were able to get a letter of support from Superintendent Mike
Flanagan. We are thrilled to have him on record as saying service is
important and will showcase that to help us to move service-learning
forward. We were able to leverage some funding through Service Learning
United to support some local Learn and Serve Challenge efforts as well as to
support a team to participate in the Hill Day Visits in September.
4. Social Media Efforts- The MCSC secured a supplemental Learn and Serve
grant in the amount of$30,000 to support social media efforts within Learn
and Serve and other MCSC programs. Some of this funding will be subgranted out to schools so that they can do some activities at the local level
and the MCSC will be bringing on an intern to coordinate other technologies
that can help not only Learn and Serve but also AmeriCorps and mentoring
through social media.

�E. Volunteer Investment Grants - Ms. VanDam reminded Commissioners that the
VIG grants this past year focused on three priority areas driven by the Blueprint
for Action: mentoring, engaging boomers, and engaging youth in service. The
grants ended September 30 and the reports are due October 31. A report of the
program accomplishments will be provided at the November meeting. We' ve
had great feed back from the program. For the 2009 program year, we would
like to stick with the same three areas but focus more on the high school drop
out issue connected to these three areas. The MCSC receives $250,000 from
the VIG grant. The MCSC would grant out $200,000 to volunteer organizations
addressing these focus areas and $50,000 would be granted to MNA to support
Mentor Michigan.

Chairman Mulhern asked for motion to support the staff recommendation
to make addressing the high school drop out issue connected to the
overarching theme of the three focus areas: mentoring, engaging boomers,
and engaging youth in service. Commissioner Collier made a motion to
support this recommendation, Commissioner Bloodworth support this
motion. The motion passed unanimously.
F. Governor' s Service Awards - Musette Michael announced the Governor's
Service Awards will take place on May 5, 2009 at the Fox Theatre. We will be
partnering with the MNA Nonprofit SuperConference, which will take place at
the Dearborn Hyatt. We are hoping this will increase the attendance for the
awards ceremony. There was discussion around the possibility of moving it to
another part of the state. It has been a challenge to raise funds when it is on the
west side of the state. Also, the Fox Theatre gives us the location at a reduced
cost. Commissioners agreed that having the event this year at the Fox Theatre
would be the best solution and to begin to build some relationships with funders
from the west side of the state and to possibly host our event there the following
year. Kyle Caldwell shared that the Nonprofit SuperConference will be held in
Grand Rapids in 201 0 so this might be a good opportunity to host the GSA there
in2010.
The 2009 GSA Committee will be Janet Lawson (Chair), Lloyd Jackson, Rob
Collier, and Breannah Alexander.
G. High School Drop Out Summit- Ms. Michael shared that the statistics shared at
the Summit were staggering. Kyle Caldwell gave a background of the partners
involved in the Summit and felt it was it was a tremendous success. Over 500
people attended the Summit. Local communities were provided with materials
and resources to take back with them to begin to address the issue. The
materials from the Summit will be available on the website. Ms. Michael
thanked Commissioner Jewell for State Farm Insurance ' s fmancial support of
the Summit.
H. ServiceNation- Ms. Michael gave an overview of the ServiceNation Summit
that took place inN ew York on September 11-12. The Governor was the first
Governor to sign on to serve on the Leadership Council. The MCSC served on
7

�the Organizing Committee. Both Presidential candidates were interviewed on
their service platforms. Senators Hatch and Kennedy co-sponsored the Serve
America Act to expand opportunities for people to serve at every stage of life.
A summary of the Act was distributed to Commissioners. The Declaration of
Service was also distributed to Commissioners to sign. Commissioner
Breannah Alexander was chosen as one of 100 youth leaders from across the
nation to attend. She had the opportunity to attend the youth forum where they
discussed how to get more young people involved in service. The Day of
Service took place on September 27. Over 2600 service projects took place
across the nation with 60 projects taking place in Michigan.
I.

Commissioner Institute I Hill Visits- Ms. Michael shared that along with
herself and Marcy Bishop Kates, Commissioners Alexander and Campbell and
two Learn and Serve grantees participated in Hill Day visits on September 25.
The visits were very productive. Great stories about our programs were
distributed to the members. Commissioner Campbell also shared an impactful
story about mentoring to the members.

J. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves gave an update on the federal budget for
national service for FY09. Due to financial oversight, Commissioners requested
a written summary of the fmancial report at future meetings. They would also
like VIG, GSA and Mentor Michigan fmancial updates.
K. Blueprint for Action- The presentation on the accomplishments and the
discussion around the Blueprint for Action (Sept 2008-2010) will take place at
the November meeting. Commissioners were encouraged to read the
accomplishment document and the new Blueprint for Action so that they can
provide input on whether staff is capturing the core values of the work of the
MCSC.
V.

Executive Director Report - Musette Michael
A. Blueprint for Action
1. 2007-2008 Accomplishments- Paula VanDam explained that there are three key
areas to the Blueprint for Action: providing vision, providing resources, and
strengthening communities. The accomplishments for each of the initiatives
were then identified in each of these areas. A document with an extensive list of
accomplishments was given to Commissioners and Ms. VanDam gave a few
highlights.
Providing vision and leadership accomplishments included the role we played
around ServiceNation with the Governor being the first Governor to sign on to the
Leadership Council, the leadership we provided in the state to develop 55 Days of
Action events, and the work to educate and infonn about public policy. One
Learn and Serve accomplishment was that Angelia Salas was invited to
participate in a national team of service-learning leaders from across the country
who created the new K12 Service-Learning Standards for Quality Practice. The
standards have been vetted and unveiled this past April. Michigan continues to be
viewed as an expeti around service-learning. We've also been involved in
advocacy by sending letters from Dan Mulhern to members of Congress
advocating for particular issues or funding streams (reauthorization, appropriation
levels, etc).
Providing resources is primarily around our grantmaking function and includes
not only AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve, but this past year we were able to
provide mini-grants within Mentor Michigan to support recmitment and
recognition events by mentoring organizations. In a meeting with the
AmeriCorps organizational leaders, they shared that they receive a variety of
funding from difference sources but do not get the level of support from those
organizations that they receive from their AmeriCorps program officers.
Strengthening communities focuses on the impact we are having around key
critical areas including service-learning and mentoring initiatives for children
with incarcerated parents as well as children in foster care or children aging out of
foster care. AmeriCorps members served 702,000 hours and engaged 2,500
students in service learning. In Learn and Serve-Michigan, we engaged over
26,000 students who contributed over 500,000 hours of service-leaming.

�2. 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action- Musette Michael shared the draft version of the
2008-2010 Blueprint for Action. It continues to have the three key focus areas of
providing vision, providing resources, and strengthening communities. But we
have updated some of the language. Once Commissioners approve the Blueprint
for Action, staff will provide the additional details as backup to the strategies.
Commissioners were provided a copy of the Corporation' s focus area showing
that the MCSC is aligning its focus areas with the CNCS's focus areas. Chai1man
Mulhern asked the Commissioners to break up into groups and each group would
look at one of the focus areas to detern1ine if they had any additions or changes.
Each of the groups then reported outcomes from their discussions. Staff will
incorporate their changes into the final document.
Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the Blueprint for Action
with the changes discussed today. Commissioner Smith moved to support
the motion; Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
B. Governor Service Awards - Musette Michael discussed the financial summary from
the 2008 Governor' s Service Awards and highlighted the income and expenses and
the net of $98,078. She thanked Commissioners for their help in fundraising. Staff
recommends retaining the proceeds until the Board assesses needs related to the
MCSC transition preparation. Also fundraising for the 2009 Governor's Service
Awards could be challenging, and proceeds from 2008 may need to be available for
expenses. Typically the Commission recommends keeping $10,000 in the GSA fund
for stat1 up expenses for the following year but it might be better to have a larger
balance to begin with. Commissioner Lawson shared that she feels uncomfortable
keeping the full amount of proceeds from GSA knowing that we need to increase the
capacity of men to ring organizations and that the programs need the money. When
Commissioners are fundraising for GSA, they represent that proceeds will benefit
mentoring programs. But she also agrees that fundraising for 2009 GSA will be
challenging. She suggested that we need to reassess our plans for 2009 GSA due to
the economy. Commissioner Collier agreed that proceeds should go to Mentor
Michigan due to the commitment to the funders that proceeds would benefit
mentoring. It was also suggested that maybe we should look at doing local
recognition events this year. Staff shared that we tried that one year and it didn ' t
work well. Commissioner Lawson stated that at the breakfast last year funders did
say they liked the large event but that due to the economy, they would probably feel
differently now. Ms. VanDam shared that we surveyed past finalists , winners, and
nominators and their response showed that they like the large recognition event and
do not want to go back to a regional approach for recognition.
Commissioners asked that $50,000 of the 2008 GSA proceeds go to Mentor
Michigan as mini-grants to mentoring programs. The remaining funds will
remain in GSA fund until further notice. Commissioner Collier made a motion
to transfer $50,000 to Mentor Michigan fund . Commissioner Lawson seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

�The GSA Committee will look at the 2009 GSA event to see how it can be more cost
effective. Commissioner Lawson will send out a survey to Commissioners with
location options.

C. Mentor Michigan- Musette Michael gave an update on Mentor Michigan. We will
be awarding $10,000 in mini -grants for Mentoring Month in January. With the
additional GSA proceeds, we will be able to grant out additional dollars. Lloyd Carr
also has agreed to attend some events in January for mentoring month. The MCSC is
requesting state appropriations for Mentor Michigan. Kevin Reeves worked on a
proposal for DHS for funding to build the infrastructure as well as money to give to
mentoring programs. The proposal highlighted ways that DHS could save money
with this appropriation to Mentor Michigan. Commissioners are encouraged to
contact their legislators to share the impact this funding would have. Ms. Michael
also announced that we were approved for a position to hire a Mentor Michigan
Coordinator. We have been using private funding to support Amber Reiss' position
through an executive on loan agreement through MNA. Amber Reiss also shared
that Mentor Michigan will have two new AmeriCorps*VISTAs starting soon.
Chairman Mulhern shared information on a mentoring collaborative that is giving out

IV.

Breakout Session and Report Out
A. Report out from Commissioner Retreat- Chairman Mulhern explained that the
committees established at the Commissioner Retreat to look at the transition of the
MCSC to the next administration will now have an oppmiunity to meet to begin their
discussions. They will report out afterwards .
B. Report out from Committee meetings
Commission I Board Development Committee - Carolyn Bloodworth shared that the
committee looked at the board members whose terms will expire in the next year.
The committee requests that the board change the 3- three year tern1 policy so that
those that are tern1 limited this year can be reappointed for one more term due to the
transition. Their history with the last transition will be important to have during this
transition .
Succession Planning Committee - Janet Lawson shared that they had a good
discussion but they are not ready to report out.
Mentor Michigan Taskforce -Tony Campbell shared that the taskforce is going to
ask some Provider Council members and funders to join. This taskforce will meet
soon to establish the function of Mentor Michigan. At the first meeting, they will look
at the history, national requirements, etc. to determine the function that we need to
carry out. After this, they will look at bow Mentor Michigan will continue whether
to create a new nonprofit, leave Mentor Michigan where it is, an interagency
4

�agreement, or add to a nonprofit organization that already exists. We will list the pros
and cons for each of the options, make a decision of what form it should take, and
then develop an implementation plan to take to the entire Commission.
Transition Planning Committee -Musette Michael shared that their conm1ittee talked
about having some type of documentation (other than an Annual Report) to take to
legislators and other key stakeholders and have a larger amount of infotmation on the
website. Conm1issioner Sowmick agreed to underwrite the cost of the printing of the
document. She also shared that Lori Jewell and Kyle Caldwell have drafted a plan
that the committee will review. A T ASC manual exists that includes best practices

MCSC Commissioners

Good Morning Commissioners,
Our next MCSC Board Meeting is on Tuesday, November 18, from 12:00 to 4:00 pm at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing . The
meeting will take place in conjunction with the Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration where over 400 members will come
together for a day of training, after which the First Gentleman will administer their oath for a year of service.
We plan to have our lunch with the executive directors of the AmeriCorps programs in the Big Ten Room with all the AmeriCorps
members. During lunch, you will get an opportun ity to learn more about the AmeriCorps programs and to hear the AmeriCorps
Member Celebration keynote speaker, Susannah Cowden, special projects assistant for the Be the Change, Inc. Susannah will
speak about ServiceNation and share her insights as a former AmeriCorps member.
After lunch, we will begin our board meeting and then break out into committees established at the MCSC retreat for a work
session. The agenda and meeting materials will be sent out on Monday.
Please let Janice (harveyj1 @michigan.gov) know by Monday, November 10, whether you will be attending the meeting.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

                    <text>What is AmeriCorps?
.,
There are more than 2,000 AmeriCorps local and national programs. Many are run by organizations you
may have heard of, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, City Year, and American Red
Cross. Others are run by smaller, local organizations , such as community centers, local governments, and
faith-based organizations .
Where do AmeriCorps members serve?
AmeriCorps members serve throughout the country, and they have a variety of skills and interests. Some
people stay in their own community or work nearby. Other people choose to relocate and work in a
community across the country.
What training do AmeriCorps members receive?
Each program provides training to help members do the best job possible. For example, a member in an
education project may receive training on how to teach or be a tutor. Another member who is recruiting
volunteers to restore low-income houses will be trained in public speaking or volunteer outreach .
What are the requirements?
Applicants to AmeriCorps must be at least 17 years old, but each program sets its own requirements and
age limits depending on need and structure. Some programs are looking for people with college degrees,
and others accept people who are finishing high school. There is no upper age limit for most programs. All
members must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents .
What are the benefits?
Members of AmeriCorps programs get the chance to try new things, learn new skills, and gain valuable
experience. Many programs offer health insurance during the service term and may provide housing,
transportation, and other benefits. Some projects offer part-time positions for those attending school,
working at a job, or caring for a family.
How can people apply?
Visit the AmeriCorps website (www.americorps .gov) to learn more and apply directly to specific programs.
State commissions on community service also have information about most programs. The full text
includes answers to common questions about AmeriCorps*VISTA and AmeriCorps*NCCC as well as
testimonials from AmeriCorps alumni.

Continue to talk about your experience after you finish service . People want to hear about
your experiences.
Make up answers . If someone asks you a question and you are not sure of the answer, it's
okay to say, "I'm not sure. But you can look on the website or call the 800 number and find out
from them ." Or get their contact information.
Make promises. Don't ever say someone will definitely get in. You can encourage them and
say they have a good chance, but make no guarantees.
Assume other programs are like yours . Don't make generalizations about other programs
unless you are sure of the answer.

�ELEVATOR SPEECH
An elevator speech is a brief overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The pitch is so
called because it can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (say,30 seconds). The term is
typically used in the context of an entrepreneur pitching an idea to a venture capitalist to receive
funding. Venture capitalists often judge the quality of an idea and team on the basis of the quality of
its elevator pitch, and will ask entrepreneurs for the elevator pitch so to quickly weed out bad ideas.

AmeriCorps Elevator Speech (4 Floor Condensed Version)
AmeriCorps engages 70,000 Americans age 17 and older each year in intensive service to meet
community needs in education, the environment, public safety, homeland security, and other areas.
Members serve with national nonprofit organizations like Habitat for Humanity, the American Red
Cross, and Teach for America, as well as with hundreds of smaller community organizations, both
secular and faith-based. Other members serve with AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian
Community Corps), a team-based residential program for adults ages 18 to 24, or in low-income
communities with AmeriCorps*VISTA. In exchange for a year of service, AmeriCorps members earn
an education award that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans.
AmeriCorps Elevator Speech (14 Floor Extended Version)
AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and national service programs that connects more than
70,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet our country's critical needs in education,
public safety, health, and the environment.
AmeriCorps members serve with more than 2,000 nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based and
community organizations. Since 1994, more than 400,000 men and women have provided needed
assistance to millions of Americans across the nation through their AmeriCorps service.
AmeriCorps opens the door for citizens to serve in a variety of ways. Through their service and the
volunteers they mobilize, AmeriCorps members address critical needs in communities throughout
America, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Tutoring and mentoring disadvantaged youth
Fighting illiteracy
Improving health services
Building affordable housing
Teaching computer skills
Cleaning parks and streams
Managing or operating after-school programs
Helping communities respond to disasters

Full-time members who complete their service earn an Education Award of $4,725 to pay for college,
graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. Members who serve part-time receive a
partial Award. Some AmeriCorps members may also receive a modest living allowance during their
term of service.
AmeriCorps is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent
federal agency created to connect Americans of all ages and backgrounds with opportunities to give
back to their communities and their nation. The Corporation also oversees Senior Corps and Learn
and Serve America. Together these programs engage more than 1.5 million Americans of all ages and
backgrounds in service each year. AmeriCorps is made up of three programs: AmeriCorps*State and
National, AmeriCorps*VISTA, and AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps).

ADDITIONAL FEDERAL
LEGISLATION UPDATES

House Introduces FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Act
$889.9M Included for the Corporation for National and Community Service
On February 23, 2009, the House Comm ittee on Appropriations introduced the FY09 Omnibus
Appropriations Act (H . R. 11 05) to provide fund ing for federal departments and programs for the
remainder of Fiscal Year 2009 . Since September, Congress had been operating under a
continuing resolution , a temporary measure to maintain government programs, including national
service, at Fiscal Year 2008 levels.

Omnibus Appropriations
The Omnibus bill provides $889 .9 million total for the Corporation for National and
Community Service and its programs for this current fiscal year.
Programs are funded at the following levels:
•

$271 .2 mill ion for AmeriCorps State and Nati onal (increase of $14.4. mill ion )

•

$131 .1 mill ion for the National Service Trust (increase of $9.5 million)

•

$96.1 million for AmeriCorps VISTA (increase of $2 .3 million)

•

$27.5 million for AmeriCorps NCCC (increase of $3 .7 million)
$213 .8 million fo r Sen ior Corps

The House and Senate are expected to pass an Omnibus bill quickly because the continuing
resolution is set to expire next week, March 6. The next step is for the Senate to introduce its
version of the bill . Once both chambers have passed legislation any differences will be negotiated
in conference. The Appropriations Committees will then need to start work on fiscal year 2010
spending bills.

&amp;

REINVESTMENT ACT

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) is an unprecedented effort
to jumpstart our economy, create or save mill ions of jobs, and address long-neglected challenges
to ensure our country thrives in the 21st century.
The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression . And , it
helps modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational
opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in
greatest need .
The Recovery Act includes $201 million in funding for the Corporation for National and
Community Service (CNCS) to support an expansion of AmeriCorps State and National and
AmeriCorps VISTA programs. This investment, which is listed below, is a strong vote of
confidence in the value of national service in engaging citizens in addressing unmet needs and
strengthening communities:

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act- Funding Allocations
•

$89 Million for AmeriCorps State and National (up to 20% of the funding may be used
for national direct grants)

•

$65 million for AmeriCorps VISTA

•

$40 million for the National Service Trust

•

$6 million for technology upgrades

•

$1 million for the Inspector General

The MCSC anticipates receiving $2 .67 million to expand our 18 existing grantees. This amount
translates into roughly 200 full-time members. In addition, the grantees may request a match
waiver or match replacement funds to help reduce the local financial burden . The funds will be
available to us through both the competitive and formula mechanisms. CNCS is considering
establishing funding priority areas including : weatherization, access to health care, increased
capacity of nonprofits, and youth corps. We are waiting on additional guidance from CNCS.
We have been working with the Governor's planning team to ensure that the additional
AmeriCorps funds support Michigan's recovery and reinvestment goals.

Funding Highlights:

•

Makes a substantial investment in national service, setting the program on a path for expansion
to 250 ,000 slots.

•

Creates a new Social Innovation Fund to invest in and scale up innovative non-profits and
solutions to address the Nation's most pressing social problems.

•

Engages more retiring Americans in service, harnessing their skills and knowledge.

•

Expands service-learning in the Nation's schools, helping students become contributing citizens
and community members through service.

Americans to serve their community and country while meeting the Nation's greatest national
challenges. Through CNCS programs, Americans of all ages can help strengthen our country

responding to natural disasters to building the
capacity of community organizations. The President's Budget proposes $1.13 billion for CNCS,
an increase of $261 million from the 2009 likely
enacted level, to give more Americans the opportunity to serve and to build the capacity of the
nonprofit sector to find innovative solutions to
social problems.

Boston Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Alan Solomont
Named Chair of National Service Agency
(Washington DC)- The Board of the Corporation for National and Community Service Tuesday elected Alan D. Solomont, as its
chairman . .
The Corporation is the nation's largest grant maker for volunteering and service, engaging more than four million Americans of all
ages and backgrounds in service each year through its Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, VISTA, NCCC, and Learn and Serve America
programs. The agency provides vital support for America's voluntary and nonprofit sector through grants, volunteers, training,
research , and other support.
Solomont, a resident of Weston, Mass., is a longtime veteran of the bipartisan board, first appointed first by President Clinton in
2000 and reappointed by President Bush in 2007. The 15-member board, whose members are nominated by the President and
confirmed by the Senate, sets overall policy and direction for the agency and its programs and provides guidance to the agency's
CEO, who has not yet been nominated by the President.
"President Obama has called for a new era of service and responsibility, and Americans are ready to answer that call ," said
Solomont. "At this time of economic distress, we need more Americans to reach out and help. President Obama has a bold vision for
service, and I am honored to chair this outstanding board as we work to usher in a new era of service in America ."
Solomont's election as board chair was announced by outgoing chair Stephen Goldsmith at the board 's winter meeting this morning
in Washington D.C. Goldsmith, who oversaw an expansion of programs and strengthening of management during his eight-year
tenure, will continue to serve on the board through 2010, highlighting a key feature of the volunteer panel's success- its makeup of
leaders from diverse backgrounds who work across party lines to advance the agency and the service movement.
"From 9-11 to Katrina to the everyday disasters of poverty and illiteracy, Americans have always demonstrated an incredible sense
of compassion and caring ," said Goldsmith. "With our current economic crisis driving up social needs at the same time nonprofits are
facing cutbacks, we need service and volunteering more than ever. "
Goldsmith noted Solomont's long history in the service sector and leadership on key board initiatives over the past eight yea rs. "Alan
is the perfect chair for this moment. He brings the instincts of an entrepreneur, the passion of an organizer, the heart of a
philanthropist, and the rolodex of an activist. The board is thrilled to have such a strong leader at this moment of unprecedented
need and opportunity for national service."
In his Inaugural Address, President Obama saluted the American spirit of service and called for a new era of personal responsibility.
He has said service will be a central cause of his presidency, and his service and innovation agenda includes expanding
AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 slots, engaging more retiring Americans, expanding service-learning in our nation's schools,
and seeding innovation and strengthening the capacity of the nonprofit sector. President Obama has not yet nominated a CEO for
agency. Bipartisan legislation to expand national service has been introduced in Congress, and the House stimulus bill conta ins
funding to expand AmeriCorps by 16,000 slots.
Throughout his career, Solomont has played a key role in promoting innovation and quality in the delivery of services to an aging
population . After the sale of the A•D•S Group, an eldercare company he founded and led for 15 years, he formed SolomontBailis
Ventures to launch new and innovative health and eldercare ventures.
Active for many years in the Democratic Party, Mr. Solomont has served in several capacities, including National Finance Chair of

the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He has also worked on many state and national political campaigns , including the
presidential campaigns of Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, AI Gore, John Kerry , and Barack Obama .
In addition to his business and political pursuits, Mr. Solomont is active as a volunteer and contributor to many community
institutions and charitable organizations. He is Vice Chairman of Boston Medical Center where he co-chaired the capital campaign to
build a new cancer treatment center, and he is the immediate past Chairman of the Board of Hebrew Senior Life. He is also a past
Chairman of Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston and he is currently a member of the Boards of the JFK Presidential
Library, Cradles to Crayons, New Israel Fund, and the Jewish Funds for Justice. Solomont is a Trustee of his alma mater, Tufts
University, where he serves on the Board of the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service and co-chairs the Tufts Capital
Campaign, "Beyond Boundaries." Solomont teaches a political science course at Tufts on the American Presidency.
In other action, the Board formally swore in board member Hyepin lm, for a term lasting through October 2013. lm is currently the
Founder and President of Korean Churches for Community Development (KCCD), a faith-based non-profit whose mission is to build
the capacity of churches to increase the scale of their economic development work. Under 1m's leadership, KCCD sponsors annual
national conferences, administers a $5 million Youth Workforce Development grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, and
sponsors initiatives for small business development, marriage and family strengthening, healthcare, homeownership, and research
in the Korean community. More information on 1m's appointment is at [link to separate press release on 1m's swearing in].
The board said farewell to departing vice-chairman Vince Juaristi, who has served on the Board since May of 2006. Juaristi, who is
Executive Vice President at Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP), a global information technology solutions provider, provided
outstanding leadership to the Corporation in a number of areas, particularly in implementing improvements in the agency's
technology systems and supporting its work in disaster preparedness and response.
The board also heard testimony from national service leaders about the impact of the economic downturn on national service
grantees and the communities and individuals they serve. Representatives from the Association of State Service Commissions,
Voices for National Service, and the State Education Agency K-12 Service Learning Network (SEANet) described how the economic
downturn has increased the demand for social services at the same time that non profits and agencies that can help meet the
increasing demand are facing cutbacks in funding . The board passed a resolution acknowledging this challenge and directing the
CEO to continue assessing the impact of the downturn on grantees, to act expeditiously on requests for administrative relief, to
explore creative ways to help program meet community needs, and to report back to the board about the Corporation's action in light
of the economic downturn.

The meeting was called to order at 10:05 a.m. Members present: Dan Mulhern,
Rob Collier, Russ Mawby, Donna Niester and Bernard Parker. Staff present:
Musette Michael, Paula VanDam, and Janice Harvey. Janet Lawson also joined
the call to give an update from the Governor's Service A wards Committee.
2009 Governor's Service Awards
Musette Michael gave a summary of the decision to move GSA to a different location
to recognize these challenging economic times. Janet Lawson gave an overview of
the Commissioner survey results regarding the location. Janet Lawson, Janice
Harvey and Kathie Vasilion visited the locations in the Dearborn area. The
Governor' s Service Awards Committee recommended the event be held at the Henry
Ford Museum. This would provide a nice, reasonably price, but different type of
event. Unfortunately, the Henry Ford Museum was not available on May 5th. This
date is also the date of the Detroit Mayor special election. Executive Committee
members recommended that the 2009 Governor' s Service Awards be held at the
Governor's Residence to reduce costs. Since having it at the Residence calls for it to
be an outside event, it should take place in June. Holding the event at the Residence
will make it a special experience for the finalists and winners yet still be more
economical.

�Michigan 's AmeriCorps Competitive Funding (See Memo from Paula VanDam dated January 6,
2009)
Paula VanDam explained that the MCSC held outreach sessions in Detroit, Lansing and Kalamazoo
and also a webinar. The staff reviewed 17 new and recompete applications and 4 continuation
applications. Staff is recommending 4 recomplete, 1 new application and all continuations be
submitted to the CNCS for consideration.
The MCSC staff recommends the following applicants be included in the MCSC' s competitive
application to the CNCS for a total of$1,330,005:
American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids
The Regents of University of Michigan
Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness

Ingham County Health Department

$420,297
$ 327,659

The MCSC staff recommends continuation funding for the following Michigan ' s AmeriCorps
Education Award Only application for a total of $48,000
Michigan Nonprofit Association/
$ 48,000
Michigan Campus Compact

Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the
AmeriCorps Competitive Funding and Education Award Only applications. Commissioner
Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously.
Chairman Mulhern expressed the importance of AmeriCorps being included in the economic stimulus
package. The cost for AmeriCorps is very economical, helps to support families, and allows members
to obtain higher education. He asked whether the Michigan's AmeriCorps programs have the capacity
for growth and will they have the ability to deploy once the stimulus package passes. Ms. VanDam
explained that some organizations are ready to take on new members. There are also a number of
organizations that are interested but cannot meet the match requirements. The CNCS is looking at
ways to address this issue (waiving/reducing match). The MCSC has a minimum requirement of 10
members and may need to look at this and strategically think about a smaller number to pilot.

Background
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has an anticipated
availability of approximately $67,312,000 to award new andre-competing
AmeriCorps State and National grants for the 2009 -1o'program year. Each state is
allowed to submit AmeriCorps applications to be funded out of the competitive
dollars. There is no guarantee that states will receive any of the competitive dollars.
Our AmeriCorps competitive package is due to CNCS on January 13, 2009. We will
be notified in May, 2009 whether any of our programs will be funded with the
competitive dollars. Once we know how many programs will be funded
competitively, we will then decide which programs to support with our formula
dollars. Those funding recommendations will be presented to the Michigan
Community Service Commission (MCSC) in June.

The MCSC held an extensive outreach process with three face to face outreach
sessions (Detroit, Lansing, and Kalamazoo) and a webinar. The staff reviewed 17
new and recompete applications and four continuation applications and are
recommending that 4 recompete, 1 new, and all continuations be included in the
MCSC competitive application submission to the Corporation for National and
Community Service. Inclusion in MCSC's competitive submission does not
guarantee funding.

�Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive New and Recompete Applications

�Michigan's AmeriCorps Education Award Only Applicant
Connect Michigan Alliance/Michigan Campus Compact
Counties Served: Statewide
The Michigan Service Scholars (MSS) AmeriCorps program will enlist 400 minimum-time (300
hour), Education Award Only AmeriCorps members to support 1) Volunteer Recruitment, 2)
Strengthening Communities, and 3) Education.
This program provides a much-needed link in the continuum of service opportunities for young
adults. Those who were engaged in service-learning and community service while in the K-12
setting have the opportunity to give back to the community while developing as engaged citizens
who will continue on in a life time of service. Due to the facilitation of the Michigan Campus
Compact, large numbers of students may become involved as they attend compact member
colleges and universities. This makes the program very cost effective. 225 or more MSS
AmeriCorps members will serve at 100 community/faith-based partner organizations in fulfilling
their mission to serve the community.
In 2007-2008, members recruited 3462 volunteers who engaged in 7744 hours of service. In
2009-2010, 25 or more MSS AmeriCorps members will recruit 500 volunteers to serve 3,750
hours in schools and community/faith-based organizations. This ability to generate volunteers
has remarkable implications for agency capacity across Michigan.
This program is also on the forefront of service learning. A specific cadre of members is focused
on developing and piloting service-learning lesson plans in the classroom. In order for servicelearning to take root and be sustained, it must be integrated in programming at the higher
education level. The MSS program is successfully achieving this objective and can develop a
model that is replicable for other states and institutions of higher education across the country.
150 MSS AmeriCorps members in the pre-service teacher education track will produce 150 K-12
service-learning units as measured by actual submissions of serv-ice-learning units.
