Welcome and Introduction - Vice Chairman Rob Collier The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 9:09a.m. by Vice-Chairman Rob Collier. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. Paula VanDam introduced Steve Springer, the new MCSC Deputy Director. II. Review and Approval of January 20, 2010 Minutes- Vice Chairman Rob Collier Vice-Chair Collier asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the January 20, 2010 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A.

Vice-Chair Collier asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Bloodworth moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report- Paula VanDam A. Michigan Voices for Volunteerism - 10 City Listening Tour Ms. VanDam shared information on the listening tour. There are currently 230 people registered and sessions will take place in Sault Ste. Marie, Houghton, Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Lansing, Detroit, Benton Harbor, Saginaw, Flint, and Cadillac. The MCSC is excited to engage local people in a dialogue about what it will take to increase volunteerism. Commissioners are encouraged to attend and to invite others to attend. The format of the agenda will include an introduction of the MCSC and the unique opportunities we have around service and then participants will participate in group discussions around some facilitated questions. B. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Serve America Act/Volunteer Generation Fund- Ms. VanDam explained that there is new funding available (VGF) to state service commissions. There is $4 million available for this first year and is focused on increasing, expanding and enhancing the volunteer infrastructure within our state. The MCSC is submitting an application (due May 18) and will include some of the data from the upcoming listening tour sessions and data provided by MNA on nonprofit capacity and volunteer engagement. There is a 20% match requirement the first year. We can implement these funds directly at the state commission grant or subgrant funds to carry out the work. The MCSC may do a combination of both and much of the match could be made through the sub-grant piece ofthe award. 2. Meeting with Patrick Corvington - Ms. VanDam shared that she, along with a few other state commission directors, met with Patrick Corvington to brief him on state commissions. He also shared his vision for CNCS which will be focused on positioning service as a solution to solve some of our national and state issues. 3. Cities of Service - Ms. VanDam announced that there is a second round of grants for 10 additional cities and she is working with Grand Rapids and Flint to apply 2 �for the leadership grant. We are hopeful that a second Michigan city will be selected. The four Cities of Service are partnering with the MCSC on the listening tour and will have a designee at each session. Barbara Jean Patton, Detroit Chief Service Officer, was introduced to Commissioners. 4. CNCS Update - Evan Albert shared that his office partnered with the MCSC to host a VISTA post-service orientation in March. This training helps develop skills sets needed to be successful in service. Several MCSC staff presented workshops along with Commissioner Collier and Commissioner Campbell. C. Mentor Michigan I. Program Update - Amber Troupe explained that Mentor Michigan, in partnership with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), has applied for a new AmeriCorps program. In the past mentoring organizations have relied on the resource of AmeriCorps members to increase the capacity of their organizations and serve more youth in mentoring relationships. MSU Extension has been lead applicant that placed members in mentoring organizations. They are at the end of their 3-year cycle and have decided not to reapply. We have partnered with MNA and MCC for a new program that will be placing 60 members in mentoring organizations across the state. The link between Mentor Michigan and MCC is around the idea of college positive volunteerism and wanting to get our mentoring programs to provide information and resources to mentoring matches so that youth are thinking about college as a next step. She also shared that Mentor Michigan has applied for another OJJDP grant in partnership with Winning Futures in the Detroit area to expand their school-based program to offer evening and summer activities at an alternative high school that focuses on career planning and job readiness. The grant is approximately $500,000 over three years. We should hear about funding in September. Ms. VanDam announced that First Lady Michelle Obama will be coming to Detroit to participate in a mentoring event. There will be a luncheon for 120 Detroit area students and then a rally for 5,000 students to follow. Mentoring matches will be invited to both events. Commissioner Collier is working with the location funders to support the event. 2. Mentor Michigan Strategic Plan -Amber Troupe and Commissioner Tony Campbell, Chair of the Mentor Michigan Strategic Planning Committee, gave an update on the strategic plan. Ms. Troupe shared that we engaged Kahle Research Solutions to assist in facilitating the strategic plan. Commissioner Campbell discussed the unmet need and the goals and objectives. The unmet need is great throughout the state but the biggest geographic area of unmet need is the Detroit area. We need to develop regional strategies as population and needs are diverse. This will also give regional funders a reason to invest in mentoring in their local communities. Mr. Campbell shared the five goals and objectives within the goals: • Promote awareness- not just nice, but necessary; o Generate research and knowledge on the Return on Investment of men to ring o Highlight mentoring success stories 3 �o Identify, encourage, and measure implementation of evidence-based practices • Address underserved populations and communities to increase the number and quality of mentoring relationships; o Support and encourage programs to target underserved populations o Prioritize underserved communities • Increase the capacity of mentoring organizations to provide high quality and effective programs to more youth; o Make sure programs are safe and impactful • Connect resources and increase funding for mentoring organizations and to sustain Mentor Michigan; o Leverage funds to support mentoring o Important to have an organization like Mentor Michigan to advocate for mentoring o Educate on Quality Program Standards for Youth Mento ring • Develop and operate a clearinghouse to locate and disseminate local, state, and national youth mentoring specific information. o Linking statewide and national opportunities to Michigan mentoring programs Mr. Campbell then explained the operational plan including the addition of a Development Director in the first year, a training coordinator in the second year, and the underserved populations/communities coordinator in year three. The leadership structure will have the MCSC as the governing body which will support/assist with fundraising efforts, have final approval of Leadership Council recommendations, and select/approve members ofthe Leadership Council. The Mentor Michigan Leadership Council will support/assist with fundraising efforts, advocate for mentoring, champion/broad awareness building, grantmaking (present final recommendations to MCSC), and set direction and priorities of Mentor Michigan.

Board Retreat Follow Up- Ms. VanDam explained that at the January Board Retreat, Commissioners developed four strategic objective areas to address : secure additional funding to expand service as a strategy for addressing our state's challenges; demonstrate and communicate the value ofvolunteerism and the key role ofMCSC; transition and position the work of the MCSC to the next state and federal administration; and develop, mobilize, and utilize service leaders. Commissioners received a handout outlining the goals under each strategic objective. In addition, staff worked with Chairman Vella and the Executive Committee on the board structure that needs to be in place as the Commission moves forward. It is staffs recommendation that we continue to have the Executive Committee and the Board Development Committee, that we re-inact the Public Relations Committee, the Fund Development Committee and the Public Policy Committee. If these are approved, we will need to have Commissioners join these committees and identify leadership for each of the committees. Vice-Chair Collier asked for a motion to approve the recommendation for the MCSC committee structure. Commissioner Lawson moved to approve the recommendation; Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. VI. Public Comment Scott Dzurka, Michigan Association ofUnited Ways, appreciates the partnership with MCSC. The 211 call volume has doubled.

Welcome and Introduction- Chair Jim Vella The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:10 p.m. by Chair Jim Vella. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. Paula VanDam introduced Steve Springer, the new MCSC Deputy Director. II. Review and Approval of April 22, 2010 Minutes - Chair Jim Vella Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the April 22, 2010 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, approval item will be sent out to Commissioners that did not attend for approval. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from June 25 and August 20,2010 meetings. The Executive Committee authorized the MCSC staff to proceed with the plan to move to the Michigan Nonprofit Center. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Lawson moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, approval item will be sent out to Commissioners that did not attend for approval. B. Board Development Committee - Ms. VanDam gave an update on board development. Commissioner Jerry Seese was term limited so he leaves the board after serving for 9 years and Jason Hoskins cannot serve another term due to his recent enrollment in law school and the time commitment that will take. In addition, we have a union representative position that still needs to be filled and we have a recommendation for filling that slot. Ella Kate Wagner has been appointed to fill the youth slot. She is a freshman at Michigan State University and has been very involved in service-learning all through her K-12 education. Ella Kate has also been active and involved at the national level and served on the National Service Learning Youth Council. Diana Algra has also been appointed to serve in the slot of the volunteer expert (a new slot established through the Serve America Act). IV. Executive Director Report- Paula VanDam A. Michigan Voices for Volunteerism - 10 City Listening Tour Ms. VanDam shared information on the listening tour. She thanked the Commissioners that participated in the sessions and shared some key findings. The purpose was to engage community stakeholders and to hear their thoughts about how to expand service and volunteerism to address some of our state's biggest challenges. At the same time, we wanted to explore how volunteerism, particularly national service, could be expanded and utilized differently to effectively improve our communities. We visited 10 cities: Benton Harbor, Cadillac, Detroit, Flint, Houghton, Lansing, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, and Sault Ste. Marie. W also gave people who couldn't participate in person an opportunity to give us feedback online. We had more than 70 individuals respond online and received three personal letters from local organizations describing how service is critical to their organization. We had nearly 400 people attend the sessions which included K-12 2 �schools, faith-based organizations, nonprofit agencies, community based organizations, community leaders and more. Critical Challenges: During the session we asked attendees what were Michigan's biggest challenges. The common challenges include education, health, personal/public safety, poverty, and the unemployment/economy issue. The Corporation is currently embarking on their own strategic plan and most of our challenges align with their priorities. Our only challenge not represented in the CNCS plan is public safety. When they came to Michigan we made a real push for why public safety should be included in the Corporation ' s strategic plan. Resources: Another question asked was what resources in the communities aren ' t currently being tapped in terms of volunteerism. The key resources that came up were businesses/corporations, college students, faith-based, K-12 students, seniors, technology (social media) and the unemployed. So as we begin to talk about the development of our State Service Plan, we need to focus on how we engage these untapped resources. We can look at strategies around corporate volunteerism, how we can partner with Campus Compact and higher engagement of college students, and the youth engagement piece. Commissioner Lawson stated that the hunger issue in Michigan is so huge. It becomes a health and poverty issue. Without food or nourishment, kids are not going to leam. We need to make sure we use this as an overlay on some of these other challenges. Jocelyn Yanda stated that DHS is working on helping with the hunger issue and that online applications to speed up the process of getting DHS help is going well. Ms. VanDam shares that we need to think strategically about how we can be helpful. But the challenge is that AmeriCorps members cannot spend their time helping individuals get access to other federal benefits. Commissioner Collier asked how can we do a better job of using the network of Secretary of State offices to address the technology issue and leverage opportunities. The Secretary of State candidates both thought that was a great idea so we intend to follow up on that discussion after the election. Capacity: During the session we also asked how we can increase the capacity of organizations to engage more volunteers and to engage them effectively. Some of the key findings that were noted from this discussion included collaboration, effective volunteer management, media/marketing, technology, and training. National Service: There was discussion around how National Service can be tapped to better enhance the local volunteer infrastructure and capacity. Findings included having AmeriCorps members or VISTA members placed in organizations to increase the capacity to engage volunteers and set up the systems to do that. We could use National Service to enhance volunteer recruitment at the local level, increase program capacity and program sustainability. The eye-opening feedback we got when we asked this question was the lack of knowledge about National Service to effectively answer the question. So the MCSC will need to spend some time educating folks about national service in their communities and how to tap those resources. There were also comments about reducing the administrative burden as it relates to administering national service programs. 3 �Impact: The final question asked was how to maximize the impact of volunteerism. The main thing we heard was that the volunteer experience has to be meaningful. But other comments included effective volunteer management, promoting the benefits of volunteering, being able to track (how many volunteers, who's volunteering, how many hours, etc), and doing a better job of telling the story of the impact volunteers are having in our communities. Next steps: We've shared the comprehensive summary with the participants along with the summary of their local session. We ' ve also been communicating regularly with these folks as new opportunities come up and as we hear about opportunities related to service and volunteerism in their communities. We'll use the information from the listening tour to draft our State Service Plan and we'll begin to secure the resources to carry out the work of the plan. Diana Algra suggested that we might want to hold a civic engagement summit in the Cities of Service locations. We have all this infom1ation so we could bring some of the key partners and AmeriCorps programs in these cities together to see how we can partner. Kari Pardoe shared that young people could tackle some of these challenges through Learn and Serve students, Youth Advisory Councils (Y AC), and LEAGUE students. Ms . VanDam stated that as the State Service Plan is developed, it will have a youth engagement component. The MCSC has been great in supporting service-learning based on our Learn and Serve funding, but we need to think broader about a larger youth engagement initiative for young people in our state. Jocelyn Yanda asked that we include the foster care youth and Native American youth when developing a plan around youth engagement. B. CNCS/National Service Update 1. FYll Funding - Ms. VanDam stated that there is currently not a budget in place and that we will be operating under a continuing resolution (CR) until at least the end of the year. There is some discussion, depending the outcome of the election, that we may be operating under a continuing resolution for the whole year. Our hope is that this doesn't happen because we are working hard towards an expansion of AmeriCorps funding and if we operate under the CR we won ' t see this expansion. The FY 11 budget shows an increase from FY 10 in both the House and Senate budget recommendations but not to the President's level. Commissioner Algra asked whether the outcome of the 2010 Census would affect our funding . Ms . VanDam replied that it will affect us but not until the next funding year. It will also negatively impact our federal administration funding as it is based on population. That is where it will impact us the most. Ms. VanDam explained that a new policy will implemented for the FYll program year. The resources for AmeriCorps are increasing and the resources to administer it are remaining flat. We are at a point where we have two program officers overseeing 26 programs and over 1200 members in our state and this is going to continue to grow. Our administration resources are not going to grow in a way that is going to allow us expand our staff to provide the level of oversight that we need to 4 �provide as well as the level of support that we need to provide to our programs. There is a rule in place where Commissions can retain a percentage of program dollars that we grant out but we just have never chosen to do that. For us it has been about trying to give the subgrantees every single penny they need but we've come to a point where it's going to be risky for us to continue to bring more programs into our portfolio. We could grow to 30 programs and there is no way we can continue to provide the level of support with the staff that we have. The MCSC is going to retain 1%. We currently subgrant approximately $8 million to AmeriCorps programs so at 1% that will give us $80,000 so will give us enough to create a third full-time program officer position with benefits. We ' ve had to do that for two reasons. One, in order to create a position with the State you can't use soft money. They need to know that we have the funding for the position on a consistent basis. Two, we've been able to get supplemental funding from the CNCS for ad min purposes the last couple of years, but that is not stable enough funding to approve a position. This will allow us to demonstrate to DHS that we have a stable pot of money to support the position so that they will approve the position. We ' ve unveiled this in the application guidelines that are currently available so that applicants will know that we will be retaining this 1% when they apply. Commissioner Parker asked what was the maximum that the Commission could withhold? Ms. VanDam responded that she believes the maximum is 2.5%. Because the guidelines are out now and we had to make the decision quickly, if we find that we can gamer other resources (if federal admin goes up) and don't need that much, we can adjust it in their budgets later. With the funding getting more competitive and the formula funding potentially dropping due to Census results, Chair Vella stated that it will be more important for us to have the additional funding to have the staff resources to administer the programs but to also go after additional competitive dollars. You can make the case of return of investment if the MCSC received additional competitive funding. Ms. VanDam explained that the competitive funding used to be split into two pots, one for national direct programs and one for state commissions. With the Serve America Act, the competitive funding has been combined so that national direct programs and state commissions are now competing for the same competitive funding. The competition has gotten much stronger, so we can no longer just issue an RFP and hope that new programs will come in that compete nationally. We now spend more time on program development so that we have programs that can compete at the federal level. This is a very different role than we've played in the past. Ms. VanDam shared that when she was at the grantee meeting, Executive Directors were having this conversation around withholding a percentage. Many were not currently doing this but that they are in the same situation as Michigan and may need to consider it. Ms. VanDam will do some investigating on what other commissions are doing around this issue and then some projections around 1%, 1.5%, up to 2.5% and present that at the November MCSC board meeting. A decision will need to be made prior to the competitive application being submitted to CNCS in January. Ms. VanDam also said that we've had two Inspector General investigations in the past few years to investigate BHK (with some findings that we are still negotiate on) and Communities In Schools Detroit where there will be some findings that will need to be addressed. It is imperative for the MCSC that because we have had two investigations within an 18 month period 5 �time that we can demonstrate that we have the capacity to take on more money. Chair Vella also suggested that since there is more work involved with competitive applications, maybe there is a different percentage for formula and competitive grantees. 2. Volunteer Generation Fund- This a $4 million federal pot of money that is available only to state commissions. The MCSC was awarded a $486,913 grant to implement Volunteer Michigan - which was the largest VGF award granted by the CNCS. We will be partnering with Volunteer Centers ofMichigan to administer the funds. The funds will be granted out to seven communities and the volunteer connector organization in that community must be the legal applicant. The organization must be connected with at least five other volunteer organizations in that community and they have to develop a partnership that will engage volunteers around the health or public safety issue. We received 17 intents to apply and 10 formal applications were submitted. We are in the process of reviewing those applications and will present the recommendations for funding at the November MCSC board meeting. Approximately $90,000 of the funds will used to purchase technology and will allow us to finally have a state portal for volunteerism. It will also allow us to help those seven Volunteer Centers to have the technology then need to manage and promote volunteerism. The MNA's Civic Engagement Team, in partnership with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and under the banner ofConnectMichigan Alliance, has pledged $50,000 in additional funds to support Volunteer Michigan. 3. Financial Site visit- Our CNCS Financial Grants officer, Doug Lees, was in Michigan reviewing our financial systems. He looked at how we grant money and how we manage our various CNCS grants. There were no findings and Doug felt that the MCSC had solid systems in place. There were some continuous improvement recommendations and he will send those to us in writing. Ms. VanDam also shared that Garry Gross was scheduled to return the end of September but his military duty has been extended another six months but he and Paula are trying to work out an agreement that he will come in one day a week. 4. Strategic Planning Session - The Corporation is embarking on a 5-year strategic plan. They have been going through an extensive planning process. They have had webinars to get input on their strategic plan and have hosted community dialogues where Patrick Corvington or other CNCS board members have been in the communities across the country using a very specific process to engage individuals in the conversation of how to get input around the strategic plan. There are six focus areas they have identified: education, healthy futures, environmental stewardship, veterans, opportunity, and disaster preparedness. In those areas you see more specifically what they will be focusing on. Their strategic plan will be unveiled later this fall. Julie Fisher Cummings, a CNCS board member and former MCSC Commissioner, came to Michigan to help with the community dialogues in Detroit and Flint. While Julie was here, she met with some Flint funders and talked about national service and how they might tap national service to address some of the key issues in the Flint community. The MCSC did a follow up meeting in Flint related to AmeriCorps funding opportunities and there were approximately 20 organizations that participated to learn about AmeriCorps. 6 �5. CNCS Update- Patrick Corvington will be speaking at the CMF conference on Monday, October 11 , in Traverse City and at the Team Up! Michigan Conference on Tuesday, October 12 in Detroit. Rob and Paula are working with CNCS staff to have Patrick talk with the funders about the importance of investing in national service in Michigan. C. Program Updates 1. AmeriCorps Update - The MCSC will bring on six new AmeriCorps programs this year. Staff has been spending time working with these new programs as well as working with new staff of existing programs. Staff conducted a Planning Phase Training and brought the new program directors together for an intensive four-day training. They were able to develop a lot of their systems as part of this institute. Staff has also been on-site for many of the new programs providing support to them. We are also doing outreach for new AmeriCorps programs for 2011-12 and have done outreach sessions in Flint, Muskegon and Port Huron and two webinars that anyone could participate in. Michigan's AmeriCorps ARRA funding is wrapping up and the final report will be due in October. We will share those final reports at the November meeting. 2. Learn and Serve Update - Learn and Serve- Michigan brought on seven new school districts this year along with 18 returning programs. Because of the number of grantees we have this year and only have one staff member to oversee the grantees, we are having two of our former grantees play a coaching support role to the new grantees. When Julie Fisher Cummings was in Detroit for the community dialogue, she was able to visit the Detroit Service Learning Academy. She was very impressed and excited to see the great work that is happening in that school. Kent County ISD received a Youth Engagement Zone grant, which is a new grant authorized under the Serve America Act. They will get $880,905 over a 3 year grant to focus on community and environment revitalization through service-learning projects. The Kent County ISD has been a service-learning grantee of ours for the last few years so we will work with them to help support their work in the Kent County area. 3. Mentor Michigan- The staff is preparing for the 51h Annual Mentor Michigan Conference on November 1i 11 • There will also be a preconference on November 16 and David DuBois will be working with some of our programs on research and evaluation. We are going to announce the creation of the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council at the conference and that Lloyd Carr and Tony Campbell will serve as co-chairs of the Council. MSU Extension, which has been the legal applicant for the Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps Program, is at the end of their three-year funding cycle and has decided not to be the administer of the program. Mentor Michigan has partnered with Michigan Campus Compact to become the legal applicant for a new program, the Mentor Michigan College Coaching Corps. This program will have a different focus in hopes that we will be able to leverage some additional competitive funding for the program. Not only will it be about growing mentors, but also being more strategic with regard to mentoring around college access and college success. This year the mentoring organizations could still have members help them to increase their capacity to support mentoring in their communities but 7 �they needed to add the college access component also . Forty members will be placed in youth mentoring organizations and ten members will be placed on college campuses to serve as liaisons between those institutions and their community. Another key update, as you'll recall from the Mentor Michigan Strategic Plan, one key area that we focused on was serving the underserved populations in underserved areas. One place identified was Detroit. As we were developing the strategic plan we were approached by the Metro Detroit Mentoring Collaborative, which has been run by Kris Marshall and Winning Futures, as well as some other leading mentoring organizations in Detroit, to request that the collaborative have a more formal relationship with Mentor Michigan. Kris Marshall has done a fabulous job running the collaborative, but it wasn't always viewed as being convened by a neutral party. Amber and Paula have been meeting with their leadership and they have agreed to create the Metro Detroit Mentoring Council. It will be an advisory council to Mentor Michigan and will focus on mentoring activities and needs of the Detroit area. Mentor Michigan will be hosting a town hall meeting on October 28 111 to launch the Council, to gain feedback on the needs in the region, and to begin to recruit members for the Council. The Wave VIII Mentor Michigan Census will launch on September 13 and go through October 8. Results of the Census will be available in January. Also Meijer Mini-grants ($15,000) will be offered to organizations that host mentor recognition or recruitment events during Michigan Mentoring Month in January 2011. D. National Service I Cross-Stream Update 1. 9/11 Day of Service- Elyse Walter gave an update on the 2nd annual September 11 Day of Service and Remembrance . The MCSC led statewide efforts around "Tackle Hunger" and reached out to Volunteer Centers, Campus Compacts, and national service programs and encouraged them to plan a food or donation drive or gather a group of individuals to volunteer at their local food bank. It was suggested to spread the effort over the fall as it is hard for schools to implement it so close to Labor Day and the first week of school. Ms. VanDam shared that due to the funding from the Volunteer Generation Fund and the need to have more support around national days of service, the MCSC has requested and awarded an additional VISTA position to focus on these areas. 2. Cross-Stream Conference- Michigan's National Service Cross-Stream Conference will take place on October 12-13 in Detroit. Patrick Corvington will be a keynote speaker and a Commissioner Round Table discussion will also take place on this same day. E. Governor' s Service Awards- Paula VanDam presented staff recommendations for GSA 2009 and 2010 proceeds. Proceeds for 2009 were $96,130 and 2010 were $71 ,065. Commissioners chose not to designate the funds from the 2009 proceeds due to the uncertainty of how State funding for MCSC would affect us. There is a total of$167,195 for distribution. Staff recommendations are: GSA account for 2011 $ 10,000 8 �$100,000 $ 5,000 $17, 195 $ 15 ,000 $20,000 Mentor Michigan Support Cities of Service initiative I convene them Designate resources for MCSC 20 111 Anniversary in 2011 and transition activities National Days of Service- mini-grants to plan projects around 9/ 11 , Global Youth Service Day, MLK Day Commission Development Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the GSA proceeds for 2009 and 2010. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the recommendations; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, approval item will be sent out to Commissioners that did not attend for approval. F. Financial Report I MCSC Space Update - Ms. VanDam explained the MCSC FY10 Comparative Financial Statement through the end of third quarter (June). With Garry Gross on military leave and not using his full salary, we will be shifting some of the Mentor Michigan Coordinator salary, which is listed under private funds , to the General Fund to make sure that all of those funds are used. The Michigan Nonprofit Association will be creating a nonprofit office building with other local nonprofits that include the Capital Region Community Foundation, Michigan Association ofUnited Way, and the Capital Area United Way. A Lansing developer will be turning the Armory Building into office space for this endeavor. The MCSC explored the option of moving into the Nonprofit Center and has obtained the required approval to do so. The MCSC current lease is up in June 2011 so the move will not affect our lease. G. Cities of Service Update- Barb Patton could not join us for the meeting today as today was the official launch of the Detroit Cities of Service Initiative. Detroit Mayor Bing is holding a press conference today announcing the initiative. As part of the announcement, they will be planting 40 trees. We have 20 AmeriCorps members along with several MCSC staff at the event and helping to plant the trees. The Detroit Cities of Service will be announcing their plan which will focus on areas such as public safety/neighborhood protection (Eyes & Ears Safe Neighborhood Program), neighborhood restoration (blight elimination and environmental enhancement), education and improving literacy for both children and adults, and youth engagement. They will be creating their own website and own portal for engaging volunteers. This is disheartening to us because there are already a couple of ways people can find volunteer opportunities in Detroit so to add another one does not solve our problem as it creates more confusion and competition. We have some work to do in this community to try to address the issue of the infrastructure to engage volunteers in Detroit. There are two things that played into this decision. First, they are under the guidance ofNew York (where the grant money came from) to deliver and to deliver in a specific time frame. Second, the $100,000 they got for the next two years will just cover Barb's salary so there is no money to implement. New York offered that they can use their server and pOLial to create their system so that is what they are doing because it was a requirement of the grant and they had to get this done quickly. 9 �The MCSC is working with Ms. Patton to help connect her to the volunteer and nonprofit organizations in Detroit that can help her. We will schedule a meeting with Barb, Paula, Bernard Parker, and Janet Lawson to talk about the systems that are in place in the Detroit area. Ms. VanDam stated that we want to make sure that whatever is created through this initiative is sustained. H. State Employee Charitable Campaign - Ms. VanDam was excited to report that this year the State Employee Charitable Campaign has changed their education leave (8 hours) to include community activities. As part of the launch of the campaign they have identified specific volunteer projects that employees can participate in . This benefit has not been used much so the new campaign will encourage employees to get connected and be active through serving others. I. Partner Update - Renee Zientek gave a Michigan Campus Compact update. They currently have 300 Michigan Service Scholars AmeriCorps members serving on college campuses, along with 10 College Coaching Corps members and 17 AmeriCorps*VIST As. They also have a five state collaborative grant that will focus on STEM and service-learning. Ms. Zientek spoke at the Learn and Serve grantee meeting and explained the grant to them and encouraged them to partner with a higher education facility to apply for the grant. Diana Algra distributed the Michigan Nonprofit Association Annual Report. She also shared that Volunteer Centers of Michigan are excited to partner with the MNA on the Volunteer Generation Fund initiative. Kari Pardoe announced that The LEAGUE has merged with Points of Light Foundation/Hands On Network which also means that the Learning to Give, the curriculum that we use, also transferred over. At the national level , the new initiative will be called generationOn. They currently have 175 schools across the state which equates to 875 classrooms. Ms. VanDam shared that Kari Pardoe and Angelia Salas have been meeting regularly to develop a good partnership between the two. In some cases The LEAGUE is operating in the same schools we are funding for service learning so we want to be strategic in leveraging resources for these schools. V. New Business - Chair Vella A. Transition - Rob Collier shared that he has been meeting with Gubernatorial, Secretary of State, and four Congressional candidates to make sure that they know the value of the Commission, the value of philanthropy, and the value of the nonprofit sector in our state. Mr. Collier suggests that if Commissioners are at a fund raiser for a candidate to share the importance of the Commission. They are also meeting with future leaders for the State Legislature. Mr. Collier has also had a phone call with one ofMr. Snyder' s advisors and shared inforn1ation on the Commission and that we would like to schedule a meeting with Mrs. Snyder to share the role we would like her to play. Ms. VanDam will also be working with Dan Mulhern to make sure the Commission is represented in their briefing material with the new administration. 10 �B. MCSC's 20th Anniversary- There was discussion around the Commission's 20th anniversary in 2011. It is important to have an event at the Capitol to educate legislators about the work of the Commission and to also re-engage former Commissioners. It may also benefit combining a large celebration with the Governor's Service Awards to help combine fundraising efforts. An ad-hoc committee was formed to begin planning for the MCSC's 20th Anniversary. The committee members are Janet Lawson (Chair), Karen Betley, Diana Algra, and Carolyn Bloodworth. Others that should be included are Kyle Caldwell and former Commissioners Julie Fisher Cummings and Dottie Johnson. A meeting will be scheduled with this committee. VI. Public Comment - None VII.

Users can search by city or county, by service program, and/or by program focus/ issue area. The MCSC has created the tool in an effort to connect interested individuals with respective national service programs in their area and to assist current national service programs with member recruitment. It also allows national service program staff and members to quickly identify the different groups and organizations in their area that have a similar programmatic focus for the purpose of establishing collaborative partnerships. The Michigan National Service Directory is one of the first comprehensive online tools in the country to compile all relevant national service data into one place. Cross-Stream Advisory Team Update The Cross-Stream Advisory Team is comprised of key stakeholders representing AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve programs and was created to enhance and strengthen Michigan's national service movement. This is being accomplished thorough a strategic plan focused on the following areas: Outreach, Communication, Collaboration, and Training and Technical Assistance. In order to keep Michigan' s national service programs informed about our cross-stream efforts and strategic plan progress, the team has created an enewsletter called The Cross-Stream Connector. The Cross-Stream Connector will be published bi-monthly and will consist of article submissions from each of the subcommittees related to the strategic plan focus areas. The inaugural edition was distributed at the beginning of September. 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance Service Projects The Cross-Stream AmeriCorps*VISTA assisted with the planning efforts for 9111 service projects in Detroit and Grand Rapids by facilitating partnerships between community organizations and local national service programs representing all streams of service. • Detroit- On Saturday and Sunday, September 11-12, people of different faiths, ethnic backgrounds, and races came together for Acts of Kindness (A-OK) Detroit: A Weekend of Remembrance and Renewal. Part of a national community service weekend called Acts of Kindness, organizations from across the metroDetroit area engaged volunteers in a variety of projects throughout the city. • Grand Rapids - AmeriCorps members and community volunteers spent September 11th at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park cleaning and restoring the park. During lunch, prominent community members spoke about the importance of celebrating community, diversity, and service. MCSC Disability/Inclusion Week The MCSC is committed to encouraging all Michigan residents to engage in service. Our vision is a state where all residents meet community needs and find personal fulfillment through service and volunteerism . The first-ever Disability/Inclusion Week will take place October 4-8, 2010 and will help empower national service programs, volunteer organizations, and mentoring programs to make service a part of the lives of individual s with disabilities. This week-long effort will raise awareness about disability and inclusion while engaging programs and organizations in the various efforts of the MCSC and connecting them with valuable tools and resources to help serve and connect with those with disabilities. The MCSC will utilize Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and a series of webinars to educate, inform, and celebrate inclusion. �2010 Team Up Michigan! On October 12-13, 2010, the Team Up Michigan! cross-stream conference will bring together AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve program staff for two days of learning, networking, and planning ways to build a strong and sustainable infrastructure for volunteerism in local communities. Tuesday, October lth will be entirely cross-stream with informative workshops, dynamic speakers, and valuable networking time. Wednesday, October 13th will consist of stream-specific meeting time for national service program staff, as well as a cross-stream celebration of inclusion during lunch. Keynote speakers for the conference include: • Patrick Corvington, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service • Steve Culbertson, President and CEO of Youth Service America • Duncan Wyeth, Executive Director ofthe Michigan Commission on Disability Concerns • Alex Ritzema, Motivational Humorist Charting the Course for National Se:r'\fice Engaging Volunteers Age 55 and Over The MCSC understands the important role seniors play in our state's volunteer efforts. As Michigan moves forward in utilizing volunteerism and service as a means to address critical challenges in our communities, it is essential senior volunteers become and remain a key component. The MCSC Cross-Stream VISTA has created a webinar entitled Engaging Volunteers Age 55 and Over, which will focus on the key differences between this generation and those that came before it, and what those differences will mean for organizations movi ng forward. The webinar took place on September 24, 2010 and engaged national service programs and members, as well as other volunteer organizations and partners. �2010 Team Up Michigan! Charting the Course for N ational Service Michigan's National Service Cross-Stream Conference October 12- 13, 2010 Detroit, Michigan Come set sail aboard the S.S. Michigan United and join your colleagues for two motivational days of networking, training, and collaboration. Team Up Michigan!

The groups came back together at lunch for the Celebration of Inclusion and conference closing . �Professional Development Opportunities The MCSC's ultimate goal is to establish Michigan as the state that best exemplifies the unique role national service can play in building a culture of citizenship, service , and responsibility in America. Developing strong program staff is essential to this goal. Team Up Michigan! offered a variety of dynamic workshops , including: • • • • • • • • • • Making the Case for National Service Anatomy of a High Performing Advisory Board Waiting for National Service: Defining Our Role in Supporting Education Battling Burnout: The Art of Good Fire Management Three is a Crowd: Accommodating Large Numbers of Volunteers for Projects and Events Greening National Service Working Effectively With All "Types" of People on Your Organizational Team What You Need to Know About Days of Service Improving Your "Node-/tude " CollaborAction Each of these workshops offered participants the opportunity to gain critical knowledge necessary for success in their respective programs . Cross-stream Collaboration & Networking Team Up Michigan! provided a venue for programs to exchange ideas and establish new partnerships with programs focusing on similar issue areas or serving in the same community. During the session titled All Hands On Deck! Exploring New Collaborative Opportunities , participants were strategically seated by region at tables with staff from other streams of national service. Each table focused on service as a solution to current pressing community issues, identifying strategies for effective collaboration . Additional networking opportunities included the teambuilding Treasure Hunt and Deck Party Networking Reception. Both of these activities energized the crowd and served as a way for participants to get to know one another. Thank You! A big "thank you" to the 2010 Team Up Michigan!

Washington St. Ann Arbor, Ml 48104 Dear Governor-Elect Snyder: On behalf of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), I would like to congratulate you on your election. As Governor, you have a very important role to play in using service as a solution to the challenges facing our nation and in Michigan. In this time of economic crisis, Americans have responded by asking how they can help those in need. CNCS is the federal agency that engages more than five million Americans in service and volunteering through our core programs - Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America. We recognize that the best solutions come from outside Washington, D.C., where everyday people are finding ways to solve problems in their communities. We provide support to faith-based and community groups, schools, colleges and universities, municipalities and other organizations to carry out their missions. By tapping the energy and ingenuity of our greatest resource - the American people--CNCS connects those looking to serve with the opportunity to do so. Your Governor-appointed state service commission receives formula grant money from CNCS which will allow you and your commission to set the mission, priorities and potential outcomes for service activities throughout your state. States have worked with CNCS on disaster relief, emergency preparedness, faith-based initiatives and programs to help veterans transition home. When President Obama signed the Serve America Act, which passed with strong bipartisan support, he continued a longstanding tradition of bipartisanship on service and volunteering. From the creation in the 1960s of VISTA and Senior Corps, to the creation of our service-learning programs and the National Civilian Community Corps under President George H. W. Bush, to the establishment of CNCS under President Clinton, national service has been recognized by Presidents of both parties as a way that all Americans can make contributions to improving their communities. President George W. Bush, who supported AmeriCorps during his time as Governor of Texas, called on every American to give 4,000 hours of service over their lifetimes. As he said, "The greatest strength of America is the heart and soul of the American people. Every time a volunteer reaches out to a neighbor in need, our nation grows stronger and more hopeful." I am enclosing information on CNCS and would like to meet with you when you are in Washington or when I travel to your state. Kimberly Allman, Deputy Director for Intergovernmental Affairs, will be following up with your office to schedule a time so that I can welcome you in person. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me or Kimberly at 202-606-6707. Best regards, =~ /-~ \.; ~- = . _ . : ) - Patrick A. Corvington Chief Executive Officer Senior Corps 1201 New York Avenue, NW * AmeriCorps * Learn and Serve America * Washington, DC 20525 * 202-606-5000 * www.nationalservice.gov �NXr!ONAL& COMMUNITY SERVICE tilL Michigan 2009-2010 Meeting community needs in Michigan. More than 52,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 147 national service projects across Michigan. Serving with national and local nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations and other groups, these citizens tutor and mentor children, coordinate after-school programs, build homes, conduct neighborhood patrols, restore the environment, respond to disasters, build nonprofit capacity and recruit and manage volunteers. This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service will commit more than $21,400,000 to support Michigan communities through three national service initiatives: Senior Corps: More than 11,400 seniors in Michigan contribute their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps programs. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 5,782 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 2,770 homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services through more than 1,800 groups across Michigan. AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,400 individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic and other pressing needs in communities across Michigan. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor-appointed Michigan Community Service Commission, which in turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of the grant funding is distributed by the Corporation directly to multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants process. Other individuals will serve through AmeriCorps VISTA, whose members help bring individuals and communities out of poverty by serving full-time to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses and increase housing opportunities, and AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a 10-month, full time residential program for men and women between the ages of 18 and 24. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 18,000 Michigan residents have served more than 25 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $51,600,000. Learn and Serve America: Learn and Serve America provides grants to schools, colleges, and nonprofit groups to engage more than 39,000 Michigan students in community service linked to academic achievement and the development of civic skills. This type of learning, called servicelearning, improves communities while preparing young people for a lifetime of responsible citizenship. Learn and Serve America also provides curricula and other resources to teachers, faculty members, schools, and community groups. The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communitites, and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. The Corporation anually engages more than five million Americans in service to meet local needs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America, and leads President Obama's national call to service initiative, United We Serve.

Every day, millions of citizens make a difference in their states by increasing high school graduation rates, rebuilding communities struck by natural disasters, helping seniors live independently, mentoring at-risk youth, and more. The Corporation for National and Community Service is a close partner with tl1e nation's Governors in expanding opportunities for citizens to have a positive impact in their communities. As the nation's largest grantrnaker for service and volunteering, CNCS strengthens our nation's civic infrastructure and expands the reach and impact of volunteers in addressing pressing social problems. Last year CNCS engaged more ilian 5 million Americans in resultsdriven service tlrrough its Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America programs. National service recognizes iliat tl1e best solutions come from outside \Vashington, D.C., where everyday people are finding ways to solve problems in tl1eir communities. By getting more individuals involved in fixing problems in their communities, over ilie long run we make our nation stronger and can reduce tl1e reliance on government. A Key Role for States National service is a model of devolution, pushing funding and decision-making to ilie state and local level. In creating ilie modern system of national service, Congress ensured iliat Governors would have a key role in determining how national service resources are used in states. Approximately two-iliirds of AmeriCorps grant funding goes to Governor-appointed state commissions. These commissions determine social needs in ilieir state, set policy and program priorities, competitively award grants to local nonprofits and agencies, provide training and technical assistance, monitor grantees to ensure quality and compliance \.vith federal and state law, and broadly promote service and volunteering in ilieir states. For Governors looking for low-cost, high-impact strategies to meet ilieir states needs, service commissions are a vital resource tl1at can help Governors tap tl1e power of citizens to solve problems and strengthen communities. National Service in Action Following are some examples of how Governors and ilieir state service commissions are using national service to meet key needs in their states: �Supporting California's Veterans Nearly 30,000 California veterans separate from military service each year, facing multiple challenges in readjusting to civilian life. Governor Schwarzenegger, working through CaliforniaVolunteers and the California Department of Veterans Affairs, has launched Operation Welcome Home to help these veterans successfully re-enter civilian life. This year, d1e program will engage 80 AmeriCorps members to conduct outreach to recently-returned veterans, connect tl1em with jobs, housing, health care, and other services; coordinate with state agencies; and mobilize volunteers to support veterans. Rebuilding Mississippi After Katrina After Hurricane Katrina unleashed a wave of devastation across the Gulf Coast, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service recognized the key role volunteers and national service participants would play in the recovery effort. Five years later, more than 950,000 volunteers have been a part of rebuilding Mississippi, contributing more than 9.5 million hours of work totaling over $143 million in service to Mississippi communities and residents. This large-scale volunteer response wouldn't have been possible without the support and leadership provided by thousands of AmeriCorps members serving in the state. Raising Reading Levels in Minnesota Half of Minnesota's children are not ready for kindergarten, one-fourth of third-graders are not reading at grade level, and one-dlird of students fail to graduate from high school. To address these challenges, Governor Tim Pawlenty's Serve Minnesota launched the JYiinnesota Reading Corps, a statewide initiative to help Minnesota children become successful readers. The program engages trained AmeriCorps members to serve as reading tutors for struggling learners. Today tl1ere are 550 AmeriCorps members working with 12,000 children, age three to grade three, in 286 sites across tl1e state. Statewide, 74 percent of Reading Corps participants, all of whom were at significant risk for failure, passed Minnesota assessment tests, compared to the overall 78 percent pass rate for all Minnesota students. Putting Michigan Youth on the Right Track Understanding tl1e critical role rl1at mentors play in helping at risk-youd1 stay in school and avoid risky behavior, Governor Granholm and the Michigan Community Service Council launched Mentor Michigan, an initiative that supports nearly 250 organizations around tl1e state tl1at are changing lives by matching mentors with young people. Mentor Michigan provides those organizations with training and research; fosters partnerships; and builds public awareness about the need for mentors.

Service as a Solution President Barack Obama is deeply committed to advancing the role of service in addressing our national challenges and in making service part of the life of every American . With bipartisan Congressional support, the President has worked with the Corporation for National and Community Service and its CEO Patrick Corvington to focus service on pressing social problems; expand opportunities for more Americans of all ages and backgrounds to serve; build the capacity of individuals, non profits, and communities; and embrace social innovation. From passage of the landmark bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act and the Recovery Act expansion of AmeriCorps to approval of a historic funding increase and the launch of United We Serve, the Administration has achieved significant results and a new vision for service is taking effect. United We Serve In June 2009, the Corporation joined with the White House to launch United We Serve, a challenge to all Americans to engage in sustained, meaningful community service to help in our nation's renewal and recovery. Americans have responded enthusiastically to the President's call, joining with friends and neighbors to replenish food banks, support veterans and military families, restore public lands, and more. The Administration worked with technology leaders to develop a volunteer matching tool for the Serve.gov website featuring more than 250,000 volunteer opportunities, and teamed up with top sports stars and celebrities to promote volunteer service.

In tackling some of our nation's most intractable issues, these organizations improve individuals' lives and give hope to countless communities around our country. Over the past decade, tl1e Corporation for National and Community Service-- tl1rough our Senior Cmps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America progran1s -- has established partnerships with a diverse group of faith-based and neighborhood groups. In many instances, we have been able to provide these organizations witl1 trained individuals and additional resources to help them meet local needs and reinforce their organizational strengtl1 and effectiveness. . Among groups working at the local level in their community, faith-based organizations are tl1e most popular organizations tlllough which volunteers serve. Over 35% of American volunteers between 2006 and 2008 served with a faith-based organization. Additionally, 70% of volunteers serving primarily through faith-based organizations continue serving &om one year to the next, making it the highest retention rate of any type of organization tl1rough which volunteers serve. As the Corporation continues implementing the Serve America Act, we are looking to strengthen our partnerships with nonprofit and civic organizations, botl1 faitl1-based and secular. We are also looking to promote the numerous service opportunities offered tl1rough our programs to individuals associated witl1 faith-based and neighborhood groups. Programming Priorities The Corporation, in coordination with the \Vlute House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerslups, has identified several progranllning priorities designed to engage faitl1-based and neighborhood organizations in national service. These priorities will provide faith-based organizations with the resources they need to produce innovative community solutions. These priorities include: Expand Mentoring Opportunities for Academic Engagement Through its programs, the Corporation supports efforts to build capacity, recruit volunteers, and expand mentoring opportunities to children to increase academic engagement and school turnaround. Strengthen the Role of Community Organizations in Economic Recovery The Corporation supports initiatives that engage community groups as an integral part of our poverty reduction efforts. \V'orking togetl1er, we will meet tl1e needs of economically vulnerable Americans and their families by providing financial literacy training and tools designed to improve housing and financial security; and e.'<pand employment possibilities. Promote Interfaith Service and Diverse Collaborations Addressing complex challenges such as turning around low-performing schools or reducing poverty can best be done tl1rough collaboration. The Corporation encourages collaboration between diverse organizations, including organizations of different faiths, in developing community solutions. �Sample Projects Meals on Wheels and Catholic Charities of Onondaga County, NY More than one million more volunteers are needed to erase the waiting lists that 40% of our cities face for senior prepared meals distribution programs.

It is vital that Americans better understand what our troops, veterans, and their families are facing - and use that knowledge to better support them through service. Recognizing this obligation, and understanding the key role that the military community plays in creating solutions to pressing probl=s, the Corporation for National and Co=unity Service has made veterans and military families one of its key strategic priorities. Building on its past experience working with veterans, and carrying out the goals of the Serve America Act, the Corporation is increasing its support of programs that serve veterans and military families, or that engage veterans in service. Through grants, special initiatives, days of service, and other efforts, the Corporation is committed to assisting those who have bravely served our nation. VETERANS: As Americans, we are indebted to the brave men and women who have made tremendous sacrifices to protect our freedoms. Veterans are valuable assets to their co=unities and research shows that connecting recent veterans to volunteer service helps them transition back to civilian life. The Corporation is working to tap the talent and leadership of veterans to solve problems at home by engaging more veterans in service through AmeriCorps and other programs. Volunteers and national service participants are also providing critical support to veterans by connecting them to jobs, housing, health care, and od1er services; visiting wounded veterans in hospitals; driving veterans to VA medical facilities; building or repairing veterans housing; and providing shelter and services to homeless veterans. ACTIVE DUTY: Our servicemen and women risk everything to protect America. Having volunteered to serve this great country, it is our duty to return that sacrifice by volunteering in their honor. Volunteers support our troops here and abroad by writing letters, sending care packages, donating calling cards, and taking other actions. MILITARY FAMILIES: Millions of military fanllly members reside in locations around the globe, and rl1ese families provide invaluable support to our servicemen and women during perilous times. When service members are deployed, d1ey often leave behind spouses, children, and parents who must try to maintain life as usual while their loved one is away. In addition, many military families need to move into new communities wid1out d1e support of local fanllly and friends. Military families have many needs that can be met by volunteers. Among other activities, volunteers can help with errands, prepare meals, offer professional services, serve as tutors or mentors, and connect fanllly members to employment opportunities or other local services. The Corporation seeks to expand its support for military families, by increasing economic opportunities for military spouses and providing educational support for children of military families. �Sample Projects Washington State Veterans Corps Working with the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs, 32 AmeriCorps members, mostly veterans, help address the needs of military families and support victims of traumatic brain injuries. Additionally, college-based Vet Corps members help create a veteran community on campuses and provide resources and referrals to service for veterans and tl1eir fanlllies. Senior Corps and Veterans More than 8,000 Senior Corps members participate in over 500 projects in 703 Veterans Administration facilities annually. These volunteers assist elderly and disabled veterans, help military retirees acclin1ate to life after active duty, and provide transportation to former servicemen and women in need of medical treatment. Senior Corps also engages thousands of veterans in service through its RSVP, Foster Grandparent, and Senior Companion Programs. American Legion Auxiliary Call to Service Corps Consortium The Corporation is now in the second year of a partnership with tl1e American Legion Auxiliary (ALA). The ALA operates an AmeriCorps Call to Service Consortium that engages 14 organizations in veteransrelated national service. In 2009-2010, there were 19 AmeriCorps VISTA members serving in 9 states supporting veterans and military families in services related to poverty alleviation. In 2010-2011, this partnership will expand to 40 AmeriCmps VISTAs and a multi-state AmeriCorps grant, allowing more veterans and military families to be served. Operation Welcome Home, CA Nearly 30,000 California veterans separate from military service each year. The California Department of Veterans Affairs has launched Operation Welcome Home to help these veterans successfully re-enter civilian life. This year, the program will engage 80 AmeriCorps members to conduct outreach to recentlyreturned veterans, connect them with jobs, housing, health care, and otl1er services; coordinate with state agencies; and mobilize volunteers to support veterans. Other states are setting up Veterans Corps programs under tl1e veterans' priority set in the Serve America Act. Learn and Serve America and Veterans Students in Learn and Serve America grantee programs learn about and take action to address issues facing veterans and tl1eir fanlllies. They collect supplies to create and send care packages, perform research to design educational materials and exhibits, and conduct interviews with veterans to document their war-time experience, preserving their memories and life lessons for future generations. AmeriCorps VISTA and United Way, Augusta, GA AmeriCorps VISTA members serving with the United Way of Augusta, Georgia are assisting active duty military service personnel, tl1eir fanlllies, and veterans navigate the higher education system and gain new job skills.

A handwritten note will be sent to Mrs. Snyder, care/of Sharon Rothwell on the transition team. Ms. VanDam has also asked Michelle Engler to send a letter to Mrs. Snyder encouraging her to become involved. Dan Mulhern will be meeting with Mrs. Snyder to discuss "First Spouse" items and the MCSC will be one of his topics. Governor-Elect Snyder's first State of the State will be an opportunity to encourage all Michiganders to reinvent Michigan through service. Rob Collier also stated that in a recent meeting with community college presidents, they shared their concern with literacy problems and their inability to handle the issue with students. The MCSC could show their value with a call to action around response of literacy needs. Part of Governor-Elect Snyder's 10 point plan is a call to action around illiteracy and protecting the environment which are two issue areas that MCSC programming is addressing. �Ms. VanDam also explained that the Executive Director's position was classified as an Executive Office position which means it would conclude at the end of the calendar year. The Depatiment ofHuman Services (DHS) Human Resources office is transitioning the position back to a Civil Service position. This should happen in the next few weeks. Kellogg I AmeriCorps Fund Update . Patrick Covington annow1ced during his visit to Michigan in October that funders were supporting National Service by creating a fund to leverage additional AmeriCorps members. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) is donating $250,000 to the fund and challenged other funders to support the initiative. The WKKF donation will leverage an additional 100 AmeriCorps members who will support WKKF focus areas (vulnerable children and their families) in the Detroit, Grand Rapids and Calhoun county areas. In a recent meeting with the Mott Foundation, they have shared their interest in donating to the fund . Ms. VanDam will be following up with them to confirm their support. The Commission needs to determine how the funds are administered. Who will approve how resources will be distributed? Will a subcommittee be established or will MCSC Commissioners approve the distribution? Executive Committee members recommended that Commissioners should be the decision making body. The MCSC will select programs so that they meet the funders' objectives. In addition new programs will be cultivated that address issues important with the incoming Governor. This is a one-time commitment from WKKF but hopefully they will see the benefit from it and renew it on a yearly basis. Rob Collier shared that Patrick Corvington met with other funders so he will speak with CNCS staffers to see ifthere were other commitments from the funders. It was also announced by Julie Fisher Cummings that her foundation will support the fund with $25,000. CMA Endowment Ms. VanDam shared the outcome of the CMA Endowment Fund Donor Intent Ad Hoc Committee meeting. The committee included individuals from the four CMA partners and was asked to revisit the proceeds administration, to make sure it was inline with the donor intent of how it was raised, and to establish whether the MCSC was to receive funds. The committee's decision was that the donor intent has been followed and that the funding intent did not include support for MCSC administration but that dollars could be used to support the public/private partnership but not replace State ftmding. It was also agreed that the endowment could be more supportive of the partnership and that MNA needs to do more to promote and advocate for MCSC with the nonprofit caucus and new leadership. Ms. VanDam and Kyle Caldwell had a recent discussion and there will be changes in the endowment fund allocation process. The MCSC will be working with Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) and Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) to establish priorities for the partnership and how the endowment could support those priorities. These recommendations will be presented to the CMA Endowment Committee and then to the MNA Finance Committee for approval. MCSC Board Agenda The agenda for the November 18 MCSC Board Meeting was discussed and approved. The Executive Committee Meeting was adjourned at 3:45p.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Each state has an entity responsible for coordinating volunteerism and national service activities, such as AmeriCorps. You may recall that the Serve America Act recently re-authorized this work, with a very strong focus on giving more authority to Governors (through their Commissions) to meet critical community needs. The Act passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, as leaders from across the political spectrum recognized the merit of promoting service and volunteerism, as well as developing innovative volunteer opportunities to meet the needs of our communities and our states. Here in Mississippi, we have had unprecedented opportunity to make use of our state service agency, the Mississippi Commission on Volunteer Services, in recent years. After Hurricane Katrina, MCVS organized an emergency call center and a donations warehouse . On April24 of this year, an F-4 tornado tore through our state causing extensive damage to a large portion of eight counties. Our Commission was on the scene that very same day and on the following day opened a large "Volunteer City" operation that distributed over 300,000 pounds of goods to affected citizens. They organized volunteers, coordinated work orders with emergency managers, and completed over 500 work orders, utilizing over 1,500 volunteers who put in a total of over 25,000 hours. Additionally, MCVS played a large role in coordinating volunteer response to the Deepwater Horizon oil incident. My wife and Mississippi's First Lady, Marsha Barbour, serves as the Honorary Chair for our Commission. Marsha and I encourage you to take a moment to get to know your Commission and utilize them as a tool in your state arsenal to meet critical community needs. Time and again, Mississippi' s service commission has proven to be a great asset in responding swiftly and effectively to meet the needs of communities in our state.

Vella World Headquarters President Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services One American Road Dearborn , Ml 48126-2701 USA November 5 , 2010 The Honorable Richard D. Snyder Governor Elect State of Michigan 124 E. Washington Street Ann Arbor, Ml 48104 Dear Governor Snyder: Congratulations on becoming Michigan's 481h Governor! On behalf of my 24 colleagues on the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), I would like to express our eagerness to work with you to reinvent Michigan. I would like to invite you to become familiar with our work and look forward to the opportunity to discuss the potential our organization has for helping secure Michigan's future . The MCSC is a nationally renowned state service commission, appointed by the Governor of Michigan, to fund and support programs that encourage individuals to volunteer. The MCSC was created in 1991 by Governor John Engler to advance the abilities of communities to solve local challenges through service. Annually, the MCSC grants more than $9 million in federal funds to local communities to support various types of service and volunteerism programs. Through these grant funds we have been able to demonstrate that service is a highly effective strategy for solving community problems. I have had the honor and privilege of serving as the Chair of the MCSC for the past year. During that time I have been able to witness first hand the power of service and volunteerism through our National Service programs - Michigan's AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve - Michigan and our other volunteerism efforts. This year more than 1200 Michigan citizens will serve our struggling communities through AmeriCorps. These AmeriCorps members will serve in 327 nonprofits and schools throughout the state addressing some of our state's toughest challenges. Members will provide foreclosure prevention and financial counseling, help ex-offenders re-enter society, help homeless individuals and families find permanent housing, organize literacy and tutoring programs for underperforming youth, protect Michigan's natural resources, mentor and support youth from disadvantaged circumstances, support health care services to the most needy, and make our cities safer. 1 �As a result of their year of service, AmeriCorps members will earn an estimated $3.4 million in education awards to pay for college, vocational training programs, or repay student loans. At a time when many Michigan families are struggling to find employment or pay for college, AmeriCorps can be a solution. As our state is facing double digit unemployment, AmeriCorps is providing individuals with opportunities to gain valuable job skills, retrain for new careers, and the ability to stay and contribute to Michigan's communities. Research has shown that after one year of AmeriCorps service, members are more likely to stay in the community they served , pursue careers in the nonprofit and public sector, and continue to be civically involved. AmeriCorps is helping to retain our young talent in Michigan. The MCSC has always focused its energies on engaging young people which I know is a priority of yours. Through Learn and Serve - Michigan, more than 25,000 K- 12 students across Michigan will be given the opportunity to connect meaningful service to their community with classroom instruction. These students will provide close to 540,000 hours of service through numerous opportunities to apply what they are learning in school to solve real community problems. Servicelearning helps students understand the relevance of what they are studying and how it applies to the real world. It also helps them develop stronger bonds with their teachers and fellow classmates keeping them more connected to their school and less likely to dropout. Service-learning helps increase overall job experience and career awareness. It also creates a commitment among young people to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Research shows that individuals that volunteer at an early age are more likely to continue to volunteer throughout their life time. We can count on these 25,000 students to be the next generation of community leaders and problem solvers. For nearly two decades Michigan has led the nation in developing national and community service infrastructure. Yet there is clearly more that needs to be done. As you consider new models for economic development, education, healthcare, central cities revitalization, environmental stewardship and more, think about the role engaged citizens can play through service. I would enjoy having the opportunity to meet and discuss these tremendous possibilities with you at some time in the near future. I can be reached either through our staff at the MCSC at (517) 3734998 or at my office at (313) 248-7210. Again, congratulations and I look forward to working with you and your administration in addressing some of Michigan's major challenges through service.

The annual event was designed to meet the diverse needs of new and experienced Learn and Serve Michigan ,grantees. The first day oftraining was largely facilitated by the administrators and educators at the Detroit Service-Learning Academy. The staff there provided our newest grantees with perspectives and tools from the classroom and administrative levels. The sessions on "Staff and Administrators Perspectives on Service-Learning Implementation," "Implementation and Sustainability Planning," and "Resources for Service-Learning" were all very well received. The second and third days of the training were designed to meet the more advanced needs of our existing programs. Sessions like "The Impact of Youth Voice" provided participants a different lens through which to view their service-learning practice. Our MCSC Communication Specialist also facilitated a session on using various communication tools to advance service-learning in school districts. This and the rest of the sessions were rated favorably. RMC Evaluation Webinar for Learn and Serve - Michigan Grantees On September 28, we hosted a webinar on the 2010-2011 RMC Research, Inc. evaluation ofthe Learn and Serve- Michigan program. We are contracting with RMC to review the quality of our academic servicelearning programming and its impact on educational and civic outcomes. The webinar was a detailed review of the process. The grantees are currently selecting teachers, securing parental permissions to conduct the surveys, and pre-testing students. Post-tests and teacher surveys will be administered after the service-learning experience and will then be compared to state achievement data. The full report will be presented to the board when it is complete. Service-Learning and Inclusion Webinar On October 6, the Learn and Serve- Michigan team hosted a webinar on Inclusion and Service-Learning as part of the first-ever Disability/Inclusion Awareness Week. Nearly 20 people from across the country registered to participate in this session which featured service-learning practitioners from Michigan and Vermont and Pamela Gent from Clarion University (author of Great Ideas: Using Service-Learning & Differentiated Instruction to Help Your Students Succeed). This webinar was a part ofthe MSCS ' s weeklong effort to promote service as a strategy for individuals with disabilities. Like the other programs, we dedicated our webinar, blog, and social media efforts to promote more inclusive service and service-learning. Service-Learning Youth Council The MCSC just selected 22 students from across the state to serve on the 2010-2011 Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC). SL YC members are supported in identifying community issues and are taught strategies for addressing those issues. This year's SL YC team will serve as youth advocates for service and will play a major role in helping the MCSC promote Global Youth Service Day events in the spring. �Looking Forward ... Site Visits We are scheduling visits to each of our grantee sites. The visits are generally conducted in an order determined by a risk-based assessment. Programs that are new or have new coordinators, or are experiencing problems are given priority in scheduling and often receive several visits. Established programs with sound administrative systems will be scheduled second. This year, our new programs will be given priority, as will Detroit Public Schools due to the sheer complexity of the program, the size of their grant, and some programmatic delays. NELSAP Selection We are waiting for federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval ofthe National Evaluation of the Learn and Serve America Program study. Once the study has been approved by OMB, Michigan and eight other states will begin selecting high school teachers to participate in this rigorous evaluation that will measure the effect ofhigh quality service-learning activities on 9th and lOth grade students. Sustainability Symposium In February 2011 , the MCSC will host the bi-annual Service-Learning Sustainability Symposium. The Symposium allows school district teams to create a vision for their service efforts and to create immediate and long-lasting steps to get them their. This symposium will feature trainers from Kids Consortium, a nonprofit organization that serves schools and community organizations in Maine, throughout New England, and beyond. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr. Corvington stated that after being on the job for 7 months, it is clear to him that State Commissions play a critical role in implementing national strategy for service along with local strategy. Michigan has a unique opportunity to partner with the State CNCS office around the different streams of service due to its relationship. This is not common in other states. We are really proud that Michigan has this good relationship. Michigan is also unique because you don't have to sell National Service here. You have a lot of folks who are engaged in philanthropy and have a strong foundation in National Service. We are going through our strategic planning process which will wrap up around February and take us through the next fi ve years. My charge is to implement the Serve America Act. We will focus on the key issue areas and demonstrate the results, impact, outcomes of service. When I'm speaking with Legislators, they want to know why they should be investing in service. It is an argument we can make when we demonstrate results. Also, Governor' s are changing this election year so we need a strategy to inform the new Governor' s about their State Commissions. Any way we can engage with new Governor' s to raise the profiles of the Commissions, we are happy to do so. Commissions are our most important partners in this strategy. We need to fmd a way to make that relationship strong, especially with our State offices. Tony Campbell: There is a real push towards the "Return on Investment" both nationally and locally and a push to fund real outcomes not just outputs. The piece of the strategic plan that would be helpful is not just here are the outcomes from the plan, but how can a network of commissions from states work together to share best practices. It's one thing to say we want to reduce high school drop out rates but it' s another thing to have a real strategy to make that happen. At the Commission level there is not a lot of information shared on best practices or strategies where volunteers have an impact on a target area. Patrick Corvington: We' ve had a lot of folks say to us that they like the new direction, and that they-would like to focus on outcomes. If there is a program in one state getting good outcomes and you want to try in another state, we end up with tension between the national directs and the 1 �locals. With my background I tend to be inclined towards the locals because I know the small community based organizations and the differences they make. The national directs tend to have better infrastructure and better resources. Refining that tension needs to happen and we need to do a better job of sourcing local programs that are doing great work and giving them a lift and communication support. A good example of a local program that has gotten national attention is the Harlem Children's Program. Paula Kaiser VanDam: It would be helpful if the Corporation could figure out how to invest in Commissions and State Offices to understand how to cultivate best practices around these specific issues. For example, just like the Corporation, we play a grant making role and we want to use our money in the most strategic way to have the greatest impact in our state. After attending the grantee meeting in September, we talk a lot about provisions and rules but not the best practices/models for addressing key issue areas. Patrick Corvington: You are right. Let me share my frustration about the grantee meeting. The grantee meeting was well in planning phase by the time I started at the Corporation. If I had planned it, it would have been a different type of meeting. When I was in philanthropy, I didn' t want to hear about provision or compliances measures, I want to hear about the most interesting new approaches of taking on a problem. And these conversations were happening at the bar and restaurants. That's not the way these meetings should run. Next year' s meeting will be different. The role we can play at the Corporation is bringing Commissions together on a regular basis to share how Commissions can do a better job and what are some really interesting programs and partners we are seeing locally that we can try out at the national level. I good example is the Harlem Children' s Zone which took a great local program and made it known nationally. Paula Kaiser VanDam: We 've learned and changed our ways in the last couple years to do more program development instead of just putting out an RFP and hope that good things come in. That's the conversation that needs to be had with Commissions. Now that we have this new combined competitive pot of money, the Corporation tends to treat National Directs and Commissions the same and they are not. Commissions play a very different role in cultivating and creating AmeriCorps in our states than National Directs do. There is a perception that ifthe Corporation does any additional work with the Commissions that you're putting us at an unfair advantage in tapping those competitive dollars. There is a weird tension that we've never felt before. At the grantee meeting, there was not an opportunity for Commissions to meet together. When asked about this, the planners shared that they were instructed that everyone gets treated the same. I know that the new combined competitive funding is creating some different circumstances and a new set of rules that we need to operate by but the Corporation shouldn't pull away from investing in Commissions in terms of this proven infrastructure. We do cultivate and fund programs in our state. If you want to hit your targets Commissions have to be on the same page with you. If we are funding ineffective programs, that's not going to help the Corporation. Janet Lawson: Corporations need to work with CNCS and with Commissions to say where their interests are and what they are willing to do to help with those issue areas. Give Corporations a 2 �task or issue, and they will focus their time, energy, talent and money on that area. And with enough players around the table who have been in this business long enough, we can do the job. Diana Algra: When you look at National Directs, they can be self-serving. They want to continue to have their program be the best. There is nothing wrong with that. But when you look at the work that a Commission can do when they work with that nonprofit, that's a different relationship. Our role is to do the best for our state; not for program A or program B. Which sometimes is where National Directs come from. Janet Lawson: It makes a Commission almost like the Harlem Children' s Zone where you can reach out to all of the local nonprofits and pull together cohesively rather than the directs. Tony Campbell: I love Janet' s idea. If that kind of strategic thinking could happen in Washington DC and across. If Corporations are handling a specific piece, and National Directs look at a specific piece, and the CNCS looks at a specific piece, then you have a strategy that hits the whole piece and you have overlapping and accountability. Jim Vella: The situation here is Michigan is ripe for that because the resources aren't what they used to be. The foundations don't have the funding that they used to have and can't cover everything they used to fund. So collaboration sometimes gets forced because there is no other way to get it done but to work together. From both the Commission and the corporate world, whatever leadership you can help us with in that regard would be good. Feedback to earlier statement on Governor' s strategy, we think your Governor' s strategy is important as well. We' ve spent some time already talking about our two candidates here in Michigan but also making sure we get out to the new congressional candidates. Diana Algra: I would suggest the Corporation get on the National Governor' s Association agenda in November to get all Governor' s to understand national Service. Patrick stated that they are on the agenda. Vern Anthony: As far as the Governor' s transition, I think the information on Return On Investment is very important and the focus should be more on what we've done and what we can do in today' s economic environment and specifically how volunteerism can have a positive impact on education. Those type of examples would be important to share with Governors. Patrick Corvington: We also are working to get the Corporation to be part of the Governor' s meeting at the White House in February. Diana Algra: There is also a great opportunity to meet with the First Ladies/Gentlemen at the NGA meeting because they can be very instrumental in how the Commission moves forward and how it's used within the Governor' s office. Paula Kaiser VanDam: It will be important not to politicize the work. It will be important to have key Republicans saying the work of Commissions and national service is important. 3 �Patrick Corvington: We have an extraordinary bi-partisan board that works very well together. The challenge is that the Republican Party has changed so the Republican board members don' t have the credibility with the new Republicans. The political strategy is more on the ground, the work that Commissions and grantees are doing. When the Corporation shares with the members what is happening in their communities, it is making it tangible that this is the work that is happening locally. Bernard Parker: What can be done about national service being known as AmeriCorps or Vista programs versus the idea of national service being every individual contributing something back to their community. Let this be the norm rather than the exception. How can the national level set that tone so that the average person believes that is what they should do. Patrick Corvington: We have two interesting roles. One is the organization that has $1 billion grant, the other is the notion of national service at large. It hasn't been explained well in the past but it has been a push from me to make this more possible through more partnerships with celebrities like Bon Jovi and some PSA' s around service. I think we need to do a much better job. We have this President that supports service so it should be easier to do. We are about to embark in a huge communications and branding exercise that will help with this. But we are not there because we have been so focused on building the National Service brand based on our National Service programs rather than the notion of people giving back. Bernard Parker: Is there anything you think states (particularly Michigan) can do to help with that. Patrick Corvington: I'd like to hear what you think states can do to help us. We ' re about to start this work in a very serious way in January. We' ve hired a finn and will look at how we launch something to really get people engaged. A message distribution method will be needed but also highlight stories of how people are getting engaged. I think the corporate sector has a big role to play in sharing how their employees are engaged in the community and allowing them to have that time. The focus should be on the notion of being able to make a difference in your community. Paula Kaiser VanDam: I think it would be great if Commissions had an opportunity to give input on that. Also, Cities of Service, the new initiative that is trying to create that culture locally in their communities. They should be part of creating that brand and campaign. Tony Campbell: I serve on a national committee of United Ways Worldwide for developing our education initiative for strategy for the next 5-10 years. One of the things that surprised me when looking at that strategy is that very little of it had anything to do with volunteers. We looked at the 50 best United Ways in the United States and determined their best strategies around engagement around education and only 2 of them had any volunteer component. I think some dialogue with these national entities about how the interface between strategy, dollars you are putting in around programming, and how does volunteerism stretch your dollars and make a significant difference. At the local level I think it is really engaging and increasing the capacity of the AmeriCorps members to bring in more volunteers. 4 �Patrick Corvington: Part of what my staff has been talking about is around what we did at Casey Foundation around resident leadership development where we had a group of residents from neighborhoods that we put through a 36 week training (3 levels) where we trained them how to run a meeting and other leadership skills. So we have thousands of residents now out in our local communities who are extraordinarily well trained. When I came to CNCS I thought these residents ought to be AmeriCorps members. These are people who are ready, engaged and giving back. They will engage other residents. Janet Lawson: Whether it education, homelessness, or hunger, the campaign should be that volunteerism makes it better. No matter what table you are sitting around (corporation, nonprofit, etc.) that we make sure that someone says "where is the volunteerism". If that question isn't raised every time we propose a solution then we haven't launched the right campaign. Diana Algra: We 've talking forever about conversations at the national level between the Corporation and the United Way of America. I think they are still talking so there has to come a point in time where we have these conversations at the local level and look at some of our United Ways in Michigan that are addressing education issues and enhance what they are doing. It isn't just about money. That money doesn't go as far to make that impact locally. We need more national service members there whether they are AmeriCorps State, National or VISTA, or Senior Corps and how some of those participants can enhance and stretch that dollar. Half of our Volunteer Centers are located within United Ways and if we asked the executive directors of those agencies if they know what they have they would probably say no. Why is it always the constant struggle that we are not getting that message across? Kyle Caldwell: As far as the national dialogue, there is a huge opportunity that we have with the Governor' s transitions and the issues that need to be solved and the leveraging opportunity to talk about this. We've never made the case that national service is the one federal program that is having a steady rise, not only in dollars but in the case of the 1 to 30 ratio. We' ve not made the case to Governor' s that by investing in AmeriCorps and National Service. The strategy has always been that we need to education the Governors (Lt. Governors, their staff, etc) about the resource because if they don't know about us, they will cut it. For 2011 when you talk about this underutilized resource, maybe the strategy needs to be here is the resource, if you choose to explore it, it' s a great opportunity. If you don't then another state will leverage it. It make is so that national service is competed for rather than us begging for the attention from the Governors. With the new Governors transitioning in, this is the time to move fast and states really need to be put at the forefront ofthis transition discussion. We need to put the product in front ofthem. It can't just be an orientation or a meeting with the Governors because we always get the willing, but not the uneducated unknowing. Patrick Corvington: I firmly believe that national service and Commissions are our solutions for Governors that are strapped for resources. When you look at nonprofits that are budget strapped, the first person you cut is your volunteer manager. But a good strategic volunteer manager can bring in talent to keep the organization going. The same goes for State Commissions. That' s a leverage point to solve problems. As resources are declining, the federal 5 �resources are a way to solve problems locally, in a nonpartisan way, and can be a solutions provider. Breannah Alexander: I would personally like to see from the Corporation an opportunity for Commissioners to network and collaborate more. I had the opportunity to attend the national conference and could network with other Commissioners. Youth Commissioners were able to collaborate and network and that helped me in understanding what my role as a Commissioner was and also allowed me to see what other state commissions were doing and some strategies that Michigan could use in implementing whatever programming we had going on and mobilizing more volunteers. I would like to see more opportunities to collaborate with other State Commissioners. Jim Vella: Patrick can you explain the new Kellogg grant and the role the Commission will play. Patrick Corvington: The problem we are facing right now is the match. How do we get philanthropy to invest in National Service in a variety of ways. If we can get philanthropy to invest in a fund that supports National Service whether it is for match or other issues that could be game changing. Michigan is a rich philanthropic community so it seems like a natural place to do this. We met with several funders while we were at the Council of Michigan Foundations conference so we are going to work on how to implement this. I think locals should decide how to do this but it should be clear and focused. The unique opportunity we have in Michigan is that we have folks walking in with money on the table so we're building it once we have the money instead of building it and then asking for the money. W.K. Kellogg Foundation has invested $250,000 and Julie Fisher Cummings has invested $25,000. We' ve got a few other organizations that are willing to make the investment as well. The question will be how will it run, how will it operate. It's early in the process and we' re working out those details. Paula Kaiser VanDam: Rob Collier was the on:e-who got Kelfogg to commit the $250,000 and with his relationship with other foundations around the state he will be pivotal in helping get the fund operational and determining some of these questions. As you can imagine Community Funds are going to come with their own interests. They are going to want to ensure that the money they are giving is coming back to their community is some way. We have to be thoughtful about how we create something that can take all of this in consideration but at the same time doesn't become a nightmare to manage. Patrick Corvington: That's part of the challenge and how do you manage that. All these funders have a different interest. We need to fund human capital and let people decide where they want to deploy it. The other challenge is that a lot of foundations don't know the role that national service plays. It was very clear to me in the meetings I had with the foundation presidents. . There is a learning curve with the foundation presidents to understand the match and national service in general. Jim Vella: Do you see this as a model to use in other states? Patrick Corvington: Yes, I'd like to go states where I have relationships: New York, North Carolina, New Mexico, California. Where we can build several of these funds at the state level 6 �and will be a model that we can use that can really help Commissions and locals around the match issue. Bernard Parker: One of our priorities in Michigan has been mentoring. I know that the national doesn't necessarily set what you have to do but do you see that as a priority. Patrick Corvington: Here is an interesting shift in the Corporation. We are going to remain silent on strategy and focus on the results. If you can demonstrate that mentoring leads to grade level performance and high school graduation that's great. We keep talking about wanting to talk about the results around high school graduation, but organizations are built on strategy. When organizations are built on strategy (I run a mentoring organization) they are going to advocate for their strategy. That's why I'm saying I want to focus on the result. If you can demonstrate whatever strategy you have can get you to high school graduation, you' re in. So that's why I want to focus on the result and stay silent on the strategy. So if you ask me if we are going to take a strong position on mentoring, I'm going to say no, we are going to take a strong position on high school graduation and grade level reading. If you can demonstrate that mentoring is having impact and that there is good evidence it does, then you are good. That is one of the important shifts. Rather than we' re going to invest in mentoring, or we' re going to invest in sports and youth, I'd like to back us away from that and put the focus on high school graduation. Whether you are a City Year, Teach for America, or a tiny organization, if you can demonstrate results, that's what we want. Paula Kaiser VanDam: Michigan is a leader in cross-stream work but we fmd it challenging because of the way information is collected by the Corporation and it makes it difficult to tell the story. A prime example is we' ve invested in OnCorps so that we can begin to track the placement of every one of our 1,200 Ameri Corps members because before there was no way to do this. We've even created a searchable database that has all National Service programs in it, but we can do a better job of that. What I want to get to is that in this elementary in Kalamazoo there are XX Foster Grandparents, XX AmeriCorps members, and XX VISTAs serving there. Because quite frankly we are not there. Patrick Corvington: As CEO of the Corporation, Senate Confirmed, I cannot find out what national service programs there are and where in Michigan they serve from my own staff. The problem is our IT infrastructure has not kept up with the Corporation and we are having a huge budget battle about this. Our IT structure is so antiquated and we need to rebuild our system completely. Next year we will begin to rebuild that system. We don' t have a system to get the information we need at the Corporation but that is what I would like to get to. And that will help us to make the case for national service. Paula Kaiser VanDam: We want to tell the whole story of national service and to have that information to be able to do that would be so helpful. When we meet with a member of Congress, they don' t care that the Commission only has AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve, they want to know that there is $20 million that came into the state of Michigan around National Service, this is how it breaks down, and here is where these folks are serving in my district. 7 �Karen Betley: I've been in the Senior Corps program almost 20 years and almost the entire time there' s a feeling in the Senior Corps program that we' re kind ofthe black sheep of the Corporation. In Michigan, we do a very good job, the Commission has been great, the State Office works with our Michigan office and funds about $5 million into our programs. How do we show that money and those programs when we're doing something statewide, if there is something that we can do as Senior Corps programs that we are not doing or could be doing better to get our footing in the Corporation' s door, and it' s seems that when people think of National Service they think of AmeriCorps or VISTA. Patrick Corvington: Senior Corps is one of my favorites and that's why I hired Dr. Erwin Tan to run it. Here's the problem we have with Senior Corps-- Competition. It' s controversial but I've been saying it throughout the country. Until we can start competing in Senior Corps we're going to continue to have this problem. The RSVP competition that we are going to do in 2013 and all we are doing to lead up to that, until we start competing in the other Senior Corps programs it' s still going to be a place where people feel that it's the same grantees getting the same amount of money every year for the past 30-40 years, how do we know anything new and good is happening? If you see what is in the new Serve America Act where they put 10% into AmeriCorps for 55 and over, it was part of an effort to say we are not seeing anything new in Senior Corps and since we can't touch that because everyone gets riled up, we're going to do it in AmeriCorps. What you' re going to see happening is that the Senior Corps budget is going to stay flat or go down. The organizations are going to start asking for the funding through AmeriCorps and will have a higher carve out for seniors since they can't get into Senior Corps. In Experience Corps, most of their funding comes from AmeriCorps and not Senior Corps programs. So until folks embrace competition, there will be issues. Dr. Tan was hired to lead an agenda around seniors, but he knows there' s not much to do with Senior Corps programs but he' s focusing on RSVP competition. But his big work is focused on getting seniors engaged in partnering with AARP and Experience Corps. But because of the lack of competition, Senior Corps just becomes a line item in the budget and people start feeling the real innovation is going to happen in the 55 and over in AmeriCorps. Karen Betley: I understand that but as the funding stays flat and there is more need for the services we provide and for the people that want to provide them, there are more and more agencies taking more out of the actual budget, we 're going to be hard pressed to find people to compete for it. They are expensive programs to run so I think they are going to end up dying out and that money is going to go into AmeriCorps. In becoming more competitive what advice do you have? Patrick Corvington: Competition would be good. Look at the AmeriCorps side, people say it's unfair that these small community based organizations in Kalamazoo, Michigan have to compete against City Year. But they are competing for the same pot. On the Senior Corps side, if those folks also have to compete, then they are saying why their program is the best. When I'm on the Hill, it' s easier for me to say we funded this small community based organization instead of these two nationals because it' s better. Until this happens in Senior Corps, the budget is never going to grow. 8 �Karen Betley: I think we need help across the board in being able to document outcome and performance measures. We are making huge difference in our communities but for so long it was just anecdotal and making that switch over is very difficult and I don' t think we' ve had a lot of help in doing that. Patrick Corvington: I would be able to engage in support around all of that if I got a guarantee from Senior Corps Associations that they would embrace competition. If they don' t, the resources will continue to go to ArneriCorps and VISTA. Paula Kaiser VanDam: Michigan, through our state general fund, matches almost dollar for dollar. So the challenge is that the person that runs the Office of Services to the Aging does not believe in this competition. We don' t want to lose that State investment. For those states that are matching dollar for dollar, not to get away from competition because it' s going to happen, but might there be some additional conversation about how they can be part of the decision making. In Michigan, if Evan and the State Office could work together to make some of these funding decisions would be helpful in getting them to be more supportive of it. Jim Vella: Thanked Patrick for participating. On behalf of the Commissioners, we are committed to working with the Corporation. 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
