We awarded web 2.0 social media grants to promote service-learning, support online learning communities to Ionia County Intermediate School District, Southgate Community School District and Lake Orion Community Schools. Ionia County lSD created an online portal for connecting Ionia/Montcalm County educators and community members around the issue of service-learning. Lake Orion created a system for training and networking their service-learning educators using Moodie. Since 2004, Southgate Community Schools High school Learn and Serve- Michigan students partnered with senior citizens with the goal of closing the technology gap for this age group. Cyber Citizens 2.0 will create a Facebook group, facilitate a blog about both senior citizens and student service-learning experiences and create a Wii bowling league. Service-Learning Youth Council On March 7, 2009, we hosted the 2009 Service-Learning Youth Council for a day of orientation and training. SL YC is composed of Learn and Serve Michigan students from across the state who work with the MCSC to advocate for service-learning in their school districts. The nine members shared their service experiences, increased their understanding of service-learning and developed modalities for promoting service-learning. The members spent the remainder of the school year and summer creating service-learning outreach strategies using conventional and social media. In addition to creating videos documenting service in their schools the MCSC Communication's staff also created a blog for them to highlight youth service. To see their perspectives on youth service and to share your thoughts, please visit: http://michiganslyc.blogspot.com/. Video projects will be launched during Learn and Serve Challenge week October 5-11, 2009. Learn and Serve- Michigan 2009-2010 Grant Outreach The MCSC issued competitive application guidelines for the 2009-2010 Learn and Serve- Michigan program on March 3, 2009. The staff conducted two face-to-face outreach session and one phone conference involving more than 50 individuals. The sessions included an introduction to service-learning, an overview of the application guidelines and tips for completing the application. We received applications from 25 school districts or public school academies by the April 30th deadline. The applications were reviewed through peer and staff reviews in May. The staff is recommending 20 ofthe applicants for funding for a total of$361,338.75. A three-day grantee orientation and training is planned for September 2009. Program Visits Since March, the Learn and Serve - Michigan staff visited ten Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee sites. The site visits ensure that programs are compliant and developing according to schedule. All Learn and Serve Michigan grantees are provided guidance on using our program sustainability rubric. The rubric is a roadmap for institutionalizing their programs beyond the grant. It emphasizes vision, quality programming, training, organizational capacity, teaching/learning and evaluation/accountability. It is evident that the majority of programs are using the rubric to guide their work. Several of our grantees who are in their final year of the program have aggressive growth plans in place and have identified local sources of funds to continue their work. This is a major achievement in budget challenged school districts. �Learn and Serve VISTA The MCSC will play host to a Learn and Serve VISTA beginning in July. The VISTA will concentrate her efforts on cultivating and supporting service-learning in high poverty areas in the state. The candidate, who will attend Pre Service Orientation in July, has extensive experience in Detroit Public Schools and will likely spend the majority of her efforts in Detroit. This VISTA allows us the additional support needed to more actively engage schools in high poverty areas. Northern Michigan Curriculum Connections Training On April 15, 2009 the MCSC hosted full-day training on connecting service to the curriculum in Gaylord, Michigan. The 41 participants were from Learn and Serve -Michigan programs and other area schools. Our presenter, Deb Wagner from Ionia lSD provided grantees instruction in the essentials of service-learning and then guided participants in establishing links between service and their classroom curriculum. Each participant received a year long subscription to Task Stream, an online curriculum development tool. This training assisted the MCSC in supporting educators who do not currently benefit from Learn and Serve - Michigan funds . The training was also helpful in providing high quality training for our fairly new programs in Northern Michigan. Coming Up On June 17-18, 2009 the MCSC will host a two-day symposium on program sustainability. Dr. Shelly Billig will work with 40 grantees on their short and long-term goals for service-learning programming in their districts. Planning for the September Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee meeting begins this summer. Approximately 40 individuals will attend this three day meeting that is designed to help programs have a strong start to the school year. Learn and Serve - Michigan is pleased to be sponsoring the second annual Service and Leadership Camp. The Super Servers: Taking on the Challenge ofService camp is coordinated by the LEAGUE Michigan and will be held July 24-261h at Central Michigan University. More than 100 students from across the state will attend this event that emphasizes youth leadership and advocacy for service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Meijer will donate $2 to Mentor Michigan for every $25 or more Meijer gift card purchased on Saturday, June 20, 2009 at any Michigan Meijer location. Not only will the money be donated to Mentor Michigan, but it will be granted out to mentoring programs across the state in the form of mini-grants later this year. The more you promote this opportunity to employees, family members, mentors, local businesses, and others, the more money Mentor Michigan and Meijer can raise to be available for mentoring programs in Michigan. New Team Member In July, Katy Timmer will be joining our Mentor Michigan team as an AmeriCorps*VISTA member. Katy is from Wyoming, Michigan and is a recent graduate of Michigan State University. Katy will be focused on expanding our network ofmentoring programs and promoting the Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. We are looking forward to having Katy join our Mentor Michigan team on July 20! OJJDP Grant Mentor Michigan has applied for the Strategic Enhancements to Mentoring Programs grant through OJJDP with the MSU Extension Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring programs in Muskegon and Ottawa counties. Through this grant, we will provide 100 youth involved in the juvenile justice system in Ottawa and Muskegon Counties with a long term mentoring relationship that engages mentors and mentored youth in structured, outdoor, active, skill building activities. Journey matches adult volunteer mentors with court-involved youth for a minimum of one year. The Outdoor Challenge component will offer matches the opportunity to go through a six-week Outdoor Challenge series to kick off their one year match, with clinics in orienteering, mountain biking, paddling, climbing, fishing, etc. On the seventh week the program culminates in a weekend campout. Monthly group activities will be planned throughout the year. Many volunteers are reluctant to mentor court-involved youth. This model will provide structured activities to reduce that anxiety. The Outdoor Challenge component will open doors to mentor recruitment through a variety of recreational groups. Mentor recruitment is challenging and this grant will provide us with an opportunity to implement a new and creative strategy. The hope is that men will be attracted to the mentoring program due to the outdoor component. Volunteers will share their passion for outdoor activities with a youth in need of a mentor. Mentor Michigan will monitor and support the pilot sites to replicate this model throughout the state. Federal Mentoring Funding Opportunities Several federal funding opportunities have been made available over the past few months for mentoring programs. RFPs included Mento ring Children of Prisons, Gang Prevention Youth Mentoring Program, Mentoring Initiative for Foster Care Youth, and Strategic Enhancements to Mentoring Programs. Mentor Michigan hosted six conference calls to help programs determine if there program is a good fit for the RFPs and to provide support and answer questions about the guidelines. Nearly 90 people participated in these calls. In addition, Mentor Michigan has provided ten letters of support for programs applying upon request. �Research in Action Webinars On June 4, Mentor Michigan hosted in first webinar on the Research in Action series with 8 participants. This innovative series was developed by MENTOR to translate the latest mentoring research into tangible strategies for mentoring practitioners. This series makes the best available research accessible and relevant to the mentoring field. Programs can ensure their practices are based on current research, resulting in improved services and better impacts for young people when they use the Research in Action series. The series features 10 issues with each one providing: Research - a peer-reviewed article, written by a leading scholar, summarizing the latest research available on the topic and its implications for the field; Action - tools, activities, templates, or resources created by MENTOR, with concrete suggestions on putting theory into practice; and Resources - a list of additional resources for further research. The entire Research in Action series may be downloaded at http://www.mentoring.org/access research/research in action/research in action series/ Mentor Michigan will be hosting monthly webinars on each issue in the Research in Action series. Men in Mentoring Toolkit & Webinar Recruiting male mentors is one of the biggest challenges programs report and in order for children to have stable mentors in their lives the methods for recruiting men must change. With Pace & Partners and Kahle Research Solutions, Mentor Michigan developed an online toolkit designed to provide program staff and their trained mentor recruiters with language and tips to use when making the ask. These materials take programs through the steps to recruit male mentors in a variety of settings and address the main components of a complete recruitment message. The toolkit is available for download at www.mentormichigan.org. As part of the launch of this toolkit, we hosted our first Mentor Michigan webinar on May 21 to take people through the toolkit. We had 15 people participate in the webinar. Professional Development Workshops Mentor Michigan and Michigan State University Extension are offering two professional development workshops, Matching, Monitoring, and Closing Mentor Matches and Interviewing Skills and Mentor Screening this spring and summer. Each workshop, which is offered at three locations, is designed to assist youth mentoring program staff and volunteer administrators in their efforts to meet the Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. The dates and locations include: Matching, Monitoring, and Closing Mentor Matches April 29, 2009 YouthVille Detroit- 19 participants April27, 2009 Ottawa County Fillmore Complex, West Olive- 15 participants May 29, 2009 Transfiguration Episcopal Church, Indian River- 17 participants Interviewing Skills and Mentor Screening July 30, 2009 Christian Life Center, Kalamazoo August 13, 2009 Mt. Olive Institutional Missionary Baptist Church, Saginaw August 17, 2009 Transfiguration Episcopal Church, Indian River �In Michigan MentorPRO Update Currently 24 organizations in Michigan are using MentorPRO to track and analyze data in 59 mentoring programs. Over 2400 youth and over 1800 mentors have been entered, and over 1100 matches are currently being tracked. This summer, Mentor Michigan will be doing concentrated outreach to programs who have access to MentorPRO but are not taking full advantage of it with an emphasis on outreach to school-based programs. This outreach will primarily be via webinar and will focus on giving mentoring program staff additional training on the more complex features that MentorPRO has to offer. Additionally, we will be developing web-based training modules, which will be comprised of PDF and Flash video tutorials.

Kellogg Foundation The Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce has met twice to discuss the best way to sustain Mentor Michigan beyond Governor Granholm and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern. The group evaluated the sustainability strategies of five other Governor led mentoring initiatives as well as the successful features of state mentoring partnerships. Based on this information, the Taskforce makes the following recommendations: Lloyd Jackson WJRRadio Lori Jewell State Fann Insurance Janet Lawson Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan University Kathleen Maisner Retired Public School Teacher Russell Mawby Chair Emeritus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Jerry Seese Saginaw Township Community Schools Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Living Larry Williamson Comcast Cable I) Mentor Michigan should remain a program of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). The MCSC is a bi-partisan organization with the· broad mission to support and expand volunteerism. Having the host organization be bi-partisan was a key component of Connecticut's successful gubernatorial transition. 2) Mentor Michigan needs dedicated leadership within the MCSC. The MCSC Executive Director and Deputy Director have provided leadership to date. It is critical for Mentor Michigan to create and hire an executive director (possibly an interim director) given the needs of Mentor Michigan to raise funds and to position mentoring within the state. In addition, the Commission leadership will need to be focused on the implementation of the Serve America Act and the transition of the MCSC to a new administration and therefore will have diminished time to dedicate to Mentor Michigan. The Mentor Michigan executive director would be a loaned executive through the Michigan Nonprofit Association. We currently have funds in the Mentor Michigan account at the community foundation to support this position. We will be submitting a proposal to the Hudson Webber Foundation in August to support a portion of the �position for the next three years. In addition to the executive director position, the taskforce also recommends re-engaging the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council to provide support and leadership to the initiative. 3) Finally, Mentor Michigan needs to develop a strategic plan with broadbased input from key stakeholders. The Taskforce recommends hiring a consultant to lead the strategic planning process. The goal would be to have the plan finalized in time for the state mentoring conference on November 181h. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These programs will use the funding to engage 289 additional members in providing financial planning, and housing assistance; prevent home foreclosures, support tutoring and literacy programs, weatherize homes, expand nonprofit capacity, recruit and manage volunteers, and provide other services to economically challenged communities. The AmeriCorps positions funded by the Recovery Act are one-time investments to improve the country's disparate economy, and are in addition to the nearly 75,000 AmeriCorps positions that will be funded across the country through the regular Fiscal Year 2009 budget through AmeriCorps State and National, VISTA, and NCCC. CNCS Competitive Funding Six programs are receiving funding for 2009-2010 in the amount of $2,191 ,583 total. AmeriCorps Week Recap Governor Jennifer M. Granholm declared the week of May 9, 2009, as Michigan's AmeriCorps Week. AmeriCorps members from all across Michigan engaged in various outreach events and service projects as they aimed to "get things done" for their local communities. AmeriCorps Week activities took place in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Holland, Houghton, Midland, Ovid, Rogers City, West Olive, and other locations throughout Michigan. In addition, the MCSC created and distributed hundreds of outreach packets, which included an introductory letter, AmeriCorps brochures, Michigan' s AmeriCorps outreach DVD, and a form to request additional materials. Packets were sent to high schools, colleges and universities, and disability organizations. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project More than 250 Michigan's AmeriCorps members gathered together on May 15-16 to help restore Flint's Grand Traverse neighborhood as part of the 2009 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project (SSP). By the end ofthe second day, several projects were completed, visibly demonstrating the power of Michigan's AmeriCorps members in action. The project also served as an official closing event for this year' s national AmeriCorps Week. Throughout the two days of service, Michigan's AmeriCorps members received encouraging words from several special guests, including Corporation for National and Community Service Board Member, Julie Fisher Cummings. Inclusion Initiative The mission of Michigan' s Statewide Inclusion Team is to promote and support full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of national service. The inclusion team meets bi-monthly and has expanded to include additional representation from national service and disability organizations. We have recently participated in several disability conferences/events promoting AmeriCorps, including the Michigan Transition Services �Association Conference, the Kent County Transition Conference, and the Michigan Association for Education and Rehabilitation for the Blind and Visually Impaired (MAER) Conference. In addition, AmeriCorps was featured in the April edition of The Monday Bulletin, which is the Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS) monthly newsletter. New VISTA Positions to Begin in September • The Inclusion AmeriCorps*VISTA position will help engage and support individuals with disabilities in national service. The VISTA will also support the MCSC's commitment to inclusion by helping equip and empower national service programs to make service a part of the lives of individuals with disabilities. • The Cross-stream AmeriCorps*VISTA position will enhance the ability ofthe MCSC to serve national service programs throughout the state. The cross-stream VISTA will focus on improving the communication, collaboration, and sustainability of national service programs in Michigan through the creation of a regional and statewide network. With more than 125 national service projects engaging 56,000 people of all ages and backgrounds, it is essential to build infrastructure and capacity to sustain and grow these efforts. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This year's Signature Service Project was a partnership between Michigan's AmeriCorps , Habitat for Humanity of Michigan, and Genesee County Habitat for Humanity.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. He welcomed new Commissioner Michael Hill and Karen Betley. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval ofNovember 17,2008 Minutes- Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 17, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from January 8, 2009 meeting. Chairman Mulhern shared that the committee approved AmeriCorps competitive funding. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the January 8, 2009 Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Niester moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report - Musette Michael A. Standards Review- Paula Kaiser VanDam shared that on July 27-31 there will be a team of 4-5 individuals representing the CNCS conducting a Standards Review. They have established eight standards that address Commission operations and oversight of sub-grantees. They will review policy and procedures related to these two items and there will be an overall assessment of how we conduct our business. We will either pass or, if we are not passing all of these standards, we will go through a remedial process to ·make sure that we are meeting these standards. The standards process has been in existence since 1999 and this will be the second time we have gone through it. The last time we passed with flying colors and many of the staff have gone through the process. They have simplified the process since the last time we went through it (last time there were 12 standards and now there are 8). They have worked hard to streamline the process and to identify what they think are the most critical pieces that need to be in place related to commissions. The standards help the Corporation establish expectations of state commissions and then hold commissions accountable to those expectations. We are working as a staff to prepare for it. We are also working with DHS staff to make sure they understand the expectations. Ms. Michael shared that the Corporation considers the MCSC to be highly functioning and the Commissioners are known to be connected and engaged so we are going into the standards review with a good reputation. B. 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action- Musette Michael explained that the updated Blueprint for Action is included with the goals that staff is expected to meet for the next two years. Staff presented a draft to Commissioners at the November meeting 2 �and have included Commissioner's comments and changes into this fmal version. Activities to accomplish the goals for each program area are also included. C. National Service Update, Advocacy, Public Relations 1. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Musette Michael shared there is a lot going on at the national level around national service. The President recently signed into law the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. State and national AmeriCorps programs received $89 million. The MCSC anticipates receiving $2.67 million to expand our 18 existing grantees. This is an estimated amount but could translate into 200 additional full-time members in Michigan. This does not include the VISTA slots that Evan Albert will receive. The money will be disbursed through the formula and competitive mechanisms. The Act states that the money can only go to existing grantees. Existing programs can partner with another nonprofit organization to provide additional opportunities. We are working with the Governor's office to ensure that the additional AmeriCorps funds support Michigan' s recovery and reinvestment goals. There may be an opportunity for match waivers also. There will be accountability, performance and tracking requirements for the funds . Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC is waiting for the guidelines from the Corporation but has surveyed current programs to find out their interest and capacity for more members. Commissioner Collier asked whether we will be able to use the full funding the MCSC will receive. Ms. VanDam explained that without match waivers, it may be difficult but that the program staff is working with the programs to establish a plan so that all of the funds will be used. If the programs are not ready to accept or use this funding, the MCSC has other options available including working with the Governor' s office on some other options for use of the funding. Commissioner Collier said that if there is a match requirement, we should make sure that doesn't stand in the way. The MCSC needs to figure out a way to access it because we only get this funding once and we don't want to lose the opportunity to take advantage of it. 2. Serve America Act- Ms. Michael explained that the Serve American Act anticipates expanding the number of AmeriCorps members from 75 ,000 to 250,000. As far as we know, Congressman Hoekstra is the only Michigan legislator that does not support the Act. 3. Federal Legislation Updates- Ms. Michael shared that the House introduced the FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Act to provide funding for federal departments and programs. The House and Senate are expected to pass the Omnibus bill quickly as the continuing resolution expires on March 6. We will be meeting with federal legislators in April when they return to their districts for spring break and will be discussing legislation relating to national service. Commissioners will also be invited to participate in the legislative visits. There is also some discussion that reauthorization is moving quickly and may get connected to the Serve America Act. 4. CNCS Update- The CNCS has named a new Chair, Alan Solomont. He has been very supportive of service and has served on the CNCS board. The Corporation has not named a CEO as of yet. The President issued his initial FY10 budget summary and proposes $1.13 billion for the Corporation, an increase of $261 million, to increase its capacity to manage its programs. 3 �D. AmeriCorps- Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard 1. Program Update - Marcy explained that the program staff is committed to providing training and support to the Program Directors and has held conference calls monthly and will be holding a 2 Yz day meeting with them in March for indepth training, planning, and strategy sessions. At the meeting they will focus on program standards (both Corporation and MCSC) and discussing plans for the economic stimulus funding. The AmeriCorps competitive grant was submitted in January and the MCSC will hear in May which programs will be funded competitively. The program staff met with the Member Council in January. Marcy highlighted the Member Council blog they have created. 2. AmeriCorps Week- AmeriCorps Week will be May 9-16 and this year emphasis will be on educating the public and making sure they know what AmeriCorps is. Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs are also planning various projects and events. 3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- This year' s event will take place on May 15 and 16 in Flint and will be recognized as one of the signature closing events for AmeriCorps Week. Commissioners are urged to attend. Chairman Mulhern asked how we know about our effectiveness (standards are important so that we follow procedures). But the bigger question is how do we as a Commission know if we are serving AmeriCorps well and how do we know if AmeriCorps is really having an impact with our citizens and communities. Marcy explained that Megan Sargent surveys the grantees at the beginning of the program year to find out their technical assistance needs and we pay attention to that. We are also in constant communication with our grantees to know how they are doing, what they are doing, and what their needs are. As far as the programs and the members serving and how they are making an impact, all of our programs are required to do a progress report outlining what members are doing, and tracking their outcomes. Chairman Mulhern asked whether we are asking the "clients" how effective the AmeriCorps members are. Marcy stated that the programs conduct performance evaluations of the members and those are included in their progress reports. One of the sections of the progress report focuses on the impact. All of this information is then submitted to the Corporation. She also shared that on program site visits, they talk with executive directors, site supervisors, and members and get a subjective feeling of what is happening. Chairman Mulhern asked if AmeriCorps could present at a future meeting the effectiveness and impact AmeriCorps members are having. 4. Inclusion Update- Jeanine Yard gave an update on the Inclusion Committee and its members. Commissioner AI Swain also is a member of the committee. Several members attended the National Disability and Inclusion conference in the fall and then shared information from the conference with the committee during strategic planning meetings in November and January. They have developed three goals to be more inclusive across the state. The first goal is to promote Michigan's national service program as an opportunity and a bridge to skill building, career development, and community inclusion. Some committee members will be attending the Michigan Transition Association Conference and will serve on a panel to share with counselors and transition coordinators in K-12 schools about how service can be a great transition opportunity for those that are 4 �exiting school who may have some kind of disability (physical or learning). The second goal is partnerships that will develop ongoing state and local level relationships with stakeholders in the service and disability communities that promote the involvement of people with disabilities in volunteerism. The third goal is around policy and procedures by identifying and addressing local, state, and federal policies and practices that present barriers. The committee also has several presentations and exhibits scheduled in different communities. Also, each AmeriCorps Member Council representative is required to give one presentation to the disability community locally. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC receives a grant from the Corporation (this year it is $70,000) for inclusion that helps cover the costs of these trainings. The new AmeriCorps recruitment video was shown to Commissioners. The videos will be sent out to school counselors and resource coordinators, will be on the MCSC website, and shown during AmeriCorps week. The video will help to generate general awareness of AmeriCorps. We would like to connect with Campus Compact to distribute the video to campuses to help recruit members. Commissioners suggested having the video shown in the lobby of DHS offices, school associations and charter schools, Secretary of State offices, and video-on-demand. E. Mentor Michigan- Amber Reiss 1. Program Update- Ben Gulker, a new AmeriCorps*VISTA member joined the MCSC staff in December. His focus areas will be men in mentoring, children of incarcerated parents, and youth in and aging out of foster care. He has great skills that he brings to Mentor Michigan with a faith-based background and is tech savy so he is a great resource with MentorPRO and our online directory. With Ben on staff, we 've been able to increase our capacity with MentorPRO. He has been providing training and technical assistance with MentorPRO and outreach with other programs to get them on board with the system. There have also been some recent updates to our online directory. We had the opportunity to partner with MENTOR to merge the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. Programs are now registered in both online systems but only need to maintain one record. This program has enhanced features for both volunteers and programs. 2. Wave VI Census Results- Results were released in December. We had the highest participation rate ever but saw a decline in the number of mentors and youth served. The programs did show an increase in quality mentoring with more one-to-one matches compared to team mentoring and more programs are implementing the Quality Program Standards. 3. Mentoring Month- Elyse Walter shared highlights from Mentoring Month. There were 62 recruitment, recognition and/or celebration events this year that registered with Mentor Michigan and promoted on the Mentor Michigan website. We offered 38 Michigan Mentoring Month mini-grants that were distributed to some of these 62 events to help cover expenses for their events. Special promotions included the Lloyd Carr PSA that aired during each Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings game on Fox Sports Network- Detroit during January (the PSA aired nearly 100 times during the month) and also aired every hour for six days during the 2009 North American International Auto Show on two LED 5 �screens (PSA aired over 150 during the week) located outside of Cobo Hall. Governor Granholm also officially proclaimed the month of January as Michigan Mentoring Month and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern addressed mentoring in his weekly "Reading for Leading" e-newsletter. There were also several media hits throughout the month including an op-ed from Commissioner Joe Lubig in the Mining Journal. Ms. Michael announced that Amber Reiss has recently become a classified civil servant as the program officer for Mentor Michigan. This will provide stability for Mentor Michigan. F.

Program Update- The 2009 Learn and Serve Outstanding Service-Learning Awards were presented earlier this month to outstanding candidates at The Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. Award categories included School Administrator, Innovative Program, Student Award, and Teacher/Practitioner Award. Commissioners Williamson and Alexander attended and helped present the awards. We were a sponsor of The Institute, a two-day event for K -12 and higher education representatives to gain professional development and training in service-learning. There were over 350 attendees this year. Learn and Serve - Michigan is working with RMC Research to conduct an evaluation oflocal Learn and Serve programs. Next year we will be working with other states who have agreed to use the same evaluation protocol and to look at whether service-learning in the classroom is high quality, meaning is it integrated into the curriculum and is it providing all the things outlined in the service-learning standards. Next year we will also evaluate school connectedness because we know that students that aren't connected to their schools, teachers, or communities tend to fall through the cracks. Last year we had more than 24,000 students involved in Learn and Serve programs, more than 1,000 teachers using Learn and Serve in their classrooms, and students provided more than 500,000 hours of service. Learn and Serve is using social media as a strategy. This year we received a small supplemental grant and have awarded three web 2.0 social media grants to look at how using this technology will help them engage more teachers, engage more students, and keep them connected in supporting one another. The Learn and Serve formula application has been submitted for funding for the next three years. We will be doing outreach and trying to reach high-poverty areas to make sure they have access to these funds . We are in the beginning of a three-year cycle which is an open competition, meaning all of our current grantees will have to reapply. We expect that most of them will be funded and are looking at funding approximately five new programs as well. Our competitive application will be due in April and our community-based application will be due also. 6 �G. Volunteer Investment Grants- Angelia Salas provided Commissioners with a current list ofVIG grantees who were awarded renewal funding. These grants look at the capacity of organizations to be better equipped to mobilize volunteers. The focus areas identified for the 2009 VIG were mentoring, engaging baby boomers, engaging youth in service, and dropout prevention. VIG grantees were required to develop activities that increased the number of volunteers in these focus areas and address current capacity issues. Grantees will meet in March to talk about program requirements, share best practices, and talk about social media techniques that can support their capacity. H. MLK Day Recap- Jeanine Yard shared that we had a very successful MLK Day of Service. This is the second year the MCSC has taken a leadership role in promoting MLK Day of Service. Through blast emails we were able to promote the different projects that were taking place and encourage organizations to register their projects. Last year there were 32 projects on the website and through partnerships with CNCSMichigan office, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE- Michigan, and Michigan Association of United Ways, Michigan registered 366 service projects. The President promoting the MLK Day of Service helped to increase this number substantially. The goal for next year is to continue to maintain the momentum, if funds are available offer mini-grants to those organizations that would like to do something, and to promote the day as a premier day of service. I. Governor' s Service Awards- Janice Harvey explained that the Commissioners have received an overview of the Governor' s Service Awards and the Sponsorship Opportunities and Benefits to use when making fundraising phone calls. A list of potential sponsors was included with follow-up information for Commissioners. The fundraising goal will be $100,000. The event will be held on June 25th at the Governor' s Lansing Residence, which will be a smaller but nice event. We will be able to cut some of the expenses of the event by holding it at the Residence and therefore have the same proceeds to support programming. J. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves outlined the financial statement presented to Commissioners highlighting the expenses for the first quarter. He also shared that the Mentor Michigan proposal submitted last fall was not approved for the budget. The potential savings to the budget was not enough to offset the cost of the program. Ms. Michael shared that it was the right proposal but the wrong economy to request additional funding. V. New Business A. Transition Discussion 1. Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce- Paula VanDam shared that the Taskforce, chaired by Tony Campbell, met in January. Three Mentor Michigan Providers Council members also serve on this taskforce. Gail Manza, former CEO of MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, was invited to present. She explained that there have been six other states that launched statewide mentoring initiatives from their Governor's office. Of the six, only one has successfully sustained itself and the other five are no longer in existence. It shows the 7 �challenge we have ahead of us but it also made us more determined that we are on the success side. Gail shared what she thought the key components of why it was successful in the one particular state (Connecticut) and why it was not successful in the other five. Mentor Michigan will be developing a plan. The intent is to have the Taskforce present their recommendations at the June board meeting for Commissioners to vote on. The taskforce was in agreement that they want Mentor Michigan to stay within the Commission but they want some options of which it can be sustained based on resources and leadership changes. They are advocating for an Executive Director or Deputy Director that would provide the sort of leadership that is going to allow Mentor Michigan to continue to be the type of organization it needs to be. They also talked about a second leadership body to be clearly defmed in terms of roles and responsibilities that would have Commissioner representatives and other key leaders across the state represented. Options will be presented to the Taskforce at a meeting on March 26, and then to the Board in June. 2. MCSC Transition Planning Committee- Lori Jewell presented a draft Organization Transition Plan to Commissioners. Key strategies necessary to move forward were identified. The first is to determine the components of an effective plan including sticking with our vision/values. This includes how we will tell our stories and the message we will use, who will be in the leadership position to help us execute that as we move forward, what will the MCSC structure look like during a transition, what resources (human, fmancial) will be needed to tell our story to make it a success as we move through the transition, and advocacy/awareness. The next key strategy is scenarios and being prepared for any leadership change situation. The third is assigning champions that can tell the story. The fourth is execution. There is not a timeline but that will be added to this section later. The last two strategies include monitoring/report progress and then wrap up/celebration. The Committee and key staff will help fill in the details of the plan. 3. MCSC Succession Planning Committee- Janet Lawson shared that the committee met via conference call and discussed succession planning, not with names, but what a plan would look like. The Executive Director position, which is a limited term appointment, was discussed. The role of the Commission is to support the Governor' s selection for that position. Both the Executive Director and the Chairman should not transition off at the same time. There seems to be reasons to have the Executive Director transition off first. One of those reasons is for stability; the new Executive Director should work with the existing chair so that there is continuity to programming. Also, on a national level, there are significant things happening in Washington DC and there is an immediate need for Michigan to step up to the plate, to be present, to claim our money, and to have a consistency with ASC and CNCS. We don't want them to see too many changes going on in Michigan at the same time. We discussed the immediacy of the Executive Director change to happen first. The chair transition was also discussed. The Chair is nominated by the Commission and is approved by the full board. During the last transition, Russ Mawby stepped in as chair and led the organization well through the transition. Similarly we need a Chair to come from 8 �our group, to be non-political, and who can lead us through the transition. Vernice Davis Anthony has recently been appointed to the board and has agreed to Chair the organization into the next administration. Vernice will be at our June meeting so Commissioners will have a chance to meet her. Commissioners will then vote in July. Commissioners asked for an opportunity to talk with her first before voting on Chair. Chair Mulhern and Commissioners thanked Musette Michael for her leadership role the past 2 years. VI. Public Comment Kyle Caldwell announced that the Day at the Capital event celebrating Giving & Volunteering will be on April22. Awards will be given to leaders in the public sector who have supported service and volunteerism and the Nonprofit Caucus will be unveiled. The SuperConference is May 4-5 at Dearborn Hyatt. MNA is doing research with Grand Valley State University around the financial crisis and how it has impacted nonprofits. They are also working with Public Sector Consultants to publish a study about the fmancial impact of the nonprofit sector- 1 in 10 jobs now are tied to the nonprofit sector. A county by county analysis will be given. VII.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 2:11p.m. by Chairman Dan Mulhern. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval of February 27,2009 Minutes- Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 27,2009 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from March 27, May 14, and June 9, 2009 meetings. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meetings. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. New Business A. Transition Discussion 1. Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce- Ms. VanDam explained that the taskforce is made up of Commissioners, mentoring organizations, and funders. The taskforce has met twice and have established three clear recommendations: 1) Mentor Michigan should remain a program of the MCSC. Long term it is the right fit for the MCSC as Mentor Michigan has received a lot of support through the organization. 2) Mentor Michigan needs dedicated leadership within the MCSC and therefore an Executive Director position should be created. With the passage of the Serve America Act, the MCSC leadership will need to be focused on its implementation and will not have the time needed to dedicate to Mentor Michigan. 3) Mentor Michigan needs to develop a strategic plan with a budget and funding sources to support the plan. It is also important to look for sustained funding to support the work of Mentor Michigan. The Taskforce recommends hiring a consultant to lead the strategic planning process. The goal is to unveil the plan in November at the state mentoring conference. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the Taskforce recommendations. Commissioner Collier made a motion to support the recommendations. Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. There was discussion around the recommendation of leaving Mentor Michigan at the MCSC rather than creating a separate nonprofit. We run the risk that mentoring may not be a priority of the next administration and also fundraising could be more difficult when you are asking them to support a state agency. The Taskforce felt that due to the economic situation, 2 �fmancially it would not be viable to create a new nonprofit organization. Mentor Michigan has been fortunate to receive foundation grants and corporate donations to support Mentor Michigan which have been deposited into a fund at the local community foundation. Because of this, these organizations don't feel like they are giving to a government agency. This has given us flexibility to support and administer Mentor Michigan. Also the feedback from the field is that there is credibility with the program located within the Commission. The bipartisan history of the Commission has also been a key factor of support of Mentor Michigan. Ms. VanDam shared there is not a designated line item in the state budget to support Mentor Michigan so from that perspective we wouldn't be a target for the new administration. Currently, the only state dollars that have supported Mentor Michigan is the amount Commissioners have allocated from the Volunteer Investment Grants ($50,000) to support the staffmg of Mentor Michigan. Fundraising will be needed as we have other obligations and staff that are supported through Mentor Michigan. There is not currently an annual budget for Mentor Michigan but Ms. VanDam stated that a budget will be drafted as part of the new strategic plan that will outline the staff financial obligations. Commissioner Collier shared that Gail Manza was complimentary of the partnership of Mentor Michigan and the Commission and one that we should continue. Her discussion ofthe different state models was helpful and showed that those organizations that are aligned with their state commission have been most successful. Ms. VanDam explained that there may be funds available through the Serve America Act!V olunteer Generation Funds that may support the mentoring partnerships and we may be able to designate some of those funds to support Mentor Michigan. Chairman Mulhern stated that two things that are going to make this successful are a high quality executive director that will drive the work and a solid fundraising plan. Ms. VanDam explained that when Mentor Michigan began, Dan Mulhern and Mentor Michigan held regional meetings to assess the needs of mento ring organizations and asked how Mentor Michigan could add value to them. A work plan and guidelines were developed based on their feedback. With the economic situation Michigan currently is experiencing, the timing of the strategic plan is critical and it is a good time to re-evaluate how Mentor Michigan adds value to the mentoring programs. Commissioner Mawby asked if a group will be put together to develop the strategic plan and if so, it will be important to get the field involved in creating the plan to gain their support. 2. Transition Planning Committee- Commissioner Jewell shared that the committee drafted a strategy template to address short, mid and long term goals. The committee has discussed two key areas to move the organization forward; repositioning the organization to bring it into alignment with the Serve America Act and proposing a name change for the organization. Ms. VanDam explained that we can use the passage ofthe Serve America Act to take the work of the Commission to the next level and expand the culture of service. Especially at a time when we are struggling as a state economically, service can be used as a strategy to address the needs. We have an opportunity to use this to help the Commission be viewed as a vital piece of 3 �what is happening in the state which will help us with a transition to a new administration. With the passage of the Serve America Act, we need to create a new three year plan for service and how we will grow that and for the first time, it will need to be approved by the Governor. This is a great time for us to take a leadership role to bring organizations together to create a plan for Michigan. Commissioner Collier asked if other states have been going through transitions or name changes. Ms. VanDam said that in the last 2-3 years several states have gone through name changes to more align themselves with the work they do. Chairman Mulhern asked what the committee sees as accomplishing as an end result from the repositioning proposal. Commissioner Jewell stated that the committee is looking for someone to facilitate the committee and to use this opportunity to raise awareness of what the Commission is doing. Ms. VanDam believes that the creation of the plan, if done in the right way, helps position the state for receiving the Serve America Act resources. There's going to be funding opportunities that are going to come from this Act and in some cases the Commission will be the best organization to apply for those funds. This gives us a great opportunity to have a plan that can be used to leverage those resources. Commissioner Jewell said that the messaging will be key with the transition. We can talk about the impact that volunteers and service has on the economy. Commissioner Parker wants us to make sure we facilitate the recognition of those organizations that are doing the work and that it doesn't become just about us. Commissioner Lawson wants to make sure we have everyone at the table (United Way, 211) when we have the discussions. Diana Algra shared that the work done at the local level sometimes needs a push from the state level and sees the role of the Commission should focus on getting all citizens engaged in service and giving back to their communities. The local communities don't have the resources and they need the help of the state organization to be the champion. Commissioner Mawby asked what the process would be for a name change. Ms. VanDam explained that the Governor's Office stated that changing of the name would take an Executive Order from the Governor. The Senate would have 60 days to deny it and if they don't, it goes into effect. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the following statement: The Commission would develop a repositioning plan to align our service to national goals to assure the highest caliber work and best reputation in the country to fulftll our mission and support volunteer organizations to create a culture of service. Commissioner Parker made a motion to support this statement with the additional statement added to support volunteer organizations. Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. The implementation for the repositioning plan will include the creation of the committee to draft the plan. The committee will include Commissioners Lawson, Bloodworth, Parker, Betley. 4 �Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion that an acceptable name would be brought to the next meeting for approval from Commissioners. Commissioner Parker asked whether we are definitely going to change the name, will they come with recommendations, or will there be recommendations but we have the option of keeping the same name? Chairman Mulhern said that once we review the recommendations, there would still be the option to keep the same name. Commissioner Lawson asked whether we should change the name prior to a new administration and then have the new Governor want to rename the organization. The rebranding may also appeal to the campaign. Commissioner Bloodworth sees the merits of both sides but feels that we need to be careful and that we stay focused on our mission and hope that politics don't play such a significant part and that it would be dangerous to let them determine our direction. Commissioner Niester made a motion to approve the recommendation to bring possible name changes to the next board meeting. Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Succession Planning Committee- Commissioner Lawson gave an update on the tasks of the Committee. One task was to find a replacement for the Executive Director, of which Paula Kaiser VanDam was named. The other task was to replace the chair of the Commission. Vern Davis Anthony had agreed to serve as chair and was appointed to the Commission in February. Due to other commitments, she has chosen not to serve as chair. There was a conversation with Ken Whipple with CMS Energy to gauge his interest in serving as chair during the transition. Due to his limited time commitment because he serves on many other boards, he declined but stated he will offer names as options. Chairman Mulhern asked Commissioners if they had any names they would like the Committee to consider to please forward them to Commissioner Lawson. 4. Board Development Committee- Commissioner Bloodworth explained that the Committee will be looking at those Commissioners whose terms are up this year to see if they are interested in serving another term. New Commissioners will be recruited that can help through the transition. V. Executive Director Report- Paula Kaiser VanDam _ A. Ameri Corps 1. AmeriCorps Formula Funding- Marcy Bishop Kates gave an overview of AmeriCorps competitive and formula funding (see memo from Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard dated June 18, 2009). The MCSC conducted an open application for the 2009-1 0 funding. Fourteen organizations applied for funding which included one current competitively funded program, eight current formula funded programs, and five new applicant organizations. Five additional current programs applied for continuation funding. During the review process, ten applications were approved to move forward for funding including two new applicants, Ingham County Health Department (Power of We Consortium) and the Literacy Center of West Michigan. Three of the applications were not 5 �selected to move forward during peer and staff review. One applicant, Battle Creek Public School, was recommended forward with revisions but the applicant determined they would be unable to manage the program and dropped out of the process. The MCSC will fund two new, six recompete, and five continuing programs out of the 2009-10 formula allotment of$2,626,360. Commissioner Parker asked whether there is something we need to look at in relationship to the difficulties or challenges some organizations have in applying for AmeriCorps funds. The need is there but they don't qualifY due to different factors. Ms. VanDam has the same concern. With the expansion of AmeriCorps through the Serve America Act and due to the state's economy and nonprofit funding needs, we may be challenged to expand because organizations simply won' t have the match fund money. Through discussions with the Corporation, there is a match waiver policy. As we go through the next funding outreach we will be pushing that policy. In the past, the board has been conservative about giving match waivers for AmeriCorps funds. During these economic times we will need to reconsider this and look at how we can make it more viable. Ms. VanDam stated that due to the economic struggles of nonprofits, there has been an increase in interest in hosting AmeriCorps members. We are receiving calls weekly from nonprofits asking how they can get AmeriCorps members. Commissioner Collier suggested that we clearly want to capture every opportunity and if there are issues related to match or capacity, let Commissioners know so that they can help so that we don' t leave any opportunity untouched. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the formula funding. Commissioner Bloodworth made a motion to support staff recommendations. Commissioner Swain seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. AmeriCorps Funding Overview - Ms. VanDam explained that Commissioners have a chart in their packet outlining the 2009-10 AmeriCorps funding including formula, competitive and ARRA. In total the MCSC will have 1,117 AmeriCorps members serving next year and more than $7.3 million in funding. The ARRA funds could only go to existing grantees to fund additional AmeriCorps member slots or for match replacement funding. 3. AmeriCorps Program Update- Jeanine Yard gave an overview of the ARRA and Competitive funding. She also shared that AmeriCorps week took place in May. The MCSC incorporated the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project into AmeriCorps week. AmeriCorps programs planned projects in their communities (see AmeriCorps week recap for community projects). The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project was the official closing event for national AmeriCorps Week with Julie Fisher Cummings, a CNCS board member, giving remarks during the closing ceremony. More than 250 members participated in the event which took place in Grand Traverse neighborhood in Flint. The Commission will be receiving five new AmeriCorps*VISTA's; one will focus on the inclusion efforts to help engage individuals with disabilities in service, one will focus on cross-stream activities to help coordinate the communication between national 6 �service programs in Michigan and will help support the advisory committee of national service folks; and one will work with the Learn & Serve program. Two VISTA's will be working with Mentor Michigan. B. Learn and Serve- Paula Kaiser VanDam 1. Learn & Serve School-based Funding- The MCSC offers three categories of school-based grants- planning, implementation and institutionalization. We received applications from 25 school districts or public school academies and staff is recommending 20 of the applicants for funding for a total of$361,339. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for the Learn and Serve- Michigan school-based grants. Commissioner Parker made a motion to support the staff recommendations. Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Lawson stated that metropolitan Detroit is absent from funding and asked what could be done about it. Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC has been given a VISTA that will be assigned to Learn & Serve and will focus on the Detroit area. The VISTA has worked for DPS and helped to write the DPS grant this year. She will work in the Detroit area several days a week. There has been discussions with City Year on a dropout model they are interested in receiving additional ArneriCorps funding for and we have asked them to have servicelearning incorporated into that model. Commissioner Lawson suggested having a conversation with Skillman around their five communities and also conversation with the United Way in SE Michigan to see where they could help with getting service-learning into the Detroit area schools. Commissioner Lawson and Collier will help facilitate the conversation. Chairman Mulhern commended the staff for their efforts to get service-learning into the Detroit area schools. 2. Learn and Serve Update- Ms. VanDam shared that the MCSC received a small grant from CNCS to focus on social media efforts. We awarded web 2.0 social media grants to promote service-learning and online learning communities. The Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC) has nine members and met on March 7 for a day of orientation and training. They will create service-learning outreach strategies. We are partnering with Kari Pardoe to connect our SL YC members with her youth for a summer camp. Commissioner Collier suggested that the SLYC members should be invited to a MCSC meeting. Due to the fact that they are students, we wouldn't be able to get all the members to a meeting but may be able to get 2 or 3 members. C. Mentor Michigan Update- Amber Reiss shared that Meijer has agreed to participate again this year in the Father's Day gift card promotion where $2 for every $25 gift card sold on Saturday, June 20th will be donated to Mentor Michigan. The proceeds will be granted out to mentoring programs across the state in mini-grants. Ms. Reiss also shared that there have been several federal funding opportunities over the past few months for mentoring programs. Mentor !vfichigan hosted six conference calls to 7 �provide support and answer questions about guidelines to help programs determine if they would qualify. Mentor Michigan applied for a grant through OJJDP with the MSU Extension Journey 4-H Youth Mentoring programs in Muskegon and Ottawa counties. This grant would provide mentoring relationships for youth in the juvenile justice system in a structured manner. D. Volunteer Investment Grants- Paula Kaiser VanDam informed Commissioners that the Executive Order issued to balance the FY09 state budget included the reduction of the VIG by $50,000. To recoup those funds it was decided that the grants would end three months early (ending June 30, 2009). In addition we were informed that VIG would be reduced by $200,000 for FY10. Ms. VanDam made a plea to the DHS director explaining why these resources were so vital at this time and received notification that VIG would only receive a $50,000 reduction. E. Governor's Service Awards- Janice Harvey shared that fundraising efforts for 2009 Governor's Service Awards were successful and that we raised $127,500. Thanks to Commissioners for their support and efforts in helping to raise the funds . An overview of the proceeds from the 2008 event were reviewed and staff recommended that the remainder of the proceeds be distributed as follows: $48,592 to the Mentor Michigan fund to support the strategic planning and hiring of an interim executive director and $20,000 to the Commission Development fund for implementation of the transition plan and development of State Service Plan. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve staff recommendations for the 2008 Governor's Service Awards proceeds. Commissioner Smith made a motion to support the recommendations. Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. Commissioner Parker suggested that some of the proceeds may be used to help with match funds or a direct contribution to a program to help support their programming. Chairman Mulhern asked if there was room to build in flexibility for granting out funds to programs. Ms. VanDam agreed and also stated that we will have the proceeds from the 2009 GSA. Chairman Mulhern amended his motion to support the recommendation but to also look for ways to push the money out to the programs. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Mulhern thanked Commissioners for their help in raising the funds. F. National Service Update - Paula Kaiser VanDam 1. Serve America Act - Ms. VanDam gave an overview of the Serve America Act. The passage of this Act is the largest expansion of national service programing in decades. Not only is it going to increase some of the existing programs of the .Corporation but will create new grant opportunities. The Act establishes a summer of service program where disadvantage youth can earn $500 education awards, it creates a youth engagement zone to engage secondary school students in service, as well as a semester of service in high school, and it expands AmeriCorps from 75,000 members to 250,000 members a year between now and 2017. The education awards will be increased to $5,350 from $4,725 and members over the age of 55 can transfer their education awards . All of the programs with the Serve America Act take effect October 1st. The Act will authorize the Social Innovation Fund ($50 million) which will allow us to 8 �leverage private sector funds to help address big social issues. It also creates the Volunteer Generation Fund which will help with volunteer infrastructure. It was authorized in the legislation at $50 million in the first year with $25 million going to state commissions on a formula basis and $25 million in competitive funds for state commissions and national and local nonprofits. It also establishes a nonprofit capacity building program and will streamline program management, cost-effectiveness and accountability. 2. FY2010 CNCS Budget- Ms. VanDam went through the CNCS budget summary for the FY20 10 budget. The State Commission Admin Grants are awarded to administer primarily AmeriCorps but we have flexibility on how we spend that money. The money is awarded on population (usually around $320,000 to $400,000). With the passage of the Serve America Act, the state commission association fought for an increase in this funding given the new responsibilities that will be required due to the Act. The minimum and the maximum amount increased but there was no language about growing the overall admin appropriation (the minimum went from $125,000 to $250,000 and the maximum went from $750,000 to $1 million). So ifthe appropriation doesn't grow, states (like Michigan) that were getting more than the minimum will not get an increase. 3. CNCS Update- The President has decided to remove the Inspector General from his position. We had an IG investigation into one of our AmeriCorps programs. We are hopeful with the change in IG's that the investigation will end. 4. Congressional Visits- Ms. VanDam visited several Congressional members' district offices. Some Commissioners and grantees joined her for the meetings. 5. United We Serve- The President and First Lady will be launching a summer initiative on Monday, June 22. The Governor and First Gentleman will also launch the initiative on Monday with events in Battle Creek and Saginaw. It is an 81-day service campaign focused on recruiting volunteers around economic recovery issues. They are asking people to register volunteer opportunities and service projects at serve.gov. The MCSC will be giving out Presidential Volunteer Service Awards this summer to those that qualify. Commissioners would like the MCSC staff to draft an editorial for Commissioners to send in to their local papers. G. Financial Report- Garry Gross outlined the financial statement presented to Commissioners. VI. Partner Update- Diana Algra distributed the Snapshot on Giving & Volunteering in Michigan and the Economic Benefits of Michigan's Nonprofit Sector. She announced that Amy Smitter, Executive Director of Michigan Campus Compact, will be leaving the organization. Jackie Taylor will be the interim executive director. VII. Public Comment - Kyle Caldwell announced that Commissioner Bloodworth will serve on the MNA Board of Directors. 9 �Evan Albert shared that the CNCS State Office has benefitted through the ARRA funds with an increase in AmeriCorps*VISTA members (from 30-35 members to 95 new members) and gave an overview of their new projects.

The nonprofit community provides many services that act as a safety net during a recession and is an important economic engine in tough times, collectively providing approximately 440,000 jobs in Michigan while generating an additional 161,000 jobs as a result of the sector's spending. T Giving and volunteering are vital components of the ability of charities to successfully serve Michigan residents. Charities are seeing the demand for their services grow, leading them to rely even more heavily on individual giving and volunteering. Nationally, individuals contributed $306.39 billion to charities in 2007 (Giving USA 2008). Charities could not operate without the support of individuals. Critical to an individual 's decision to support a charity is their perception of the sector as a whole. This past year has been a difficult time for charities, with 50 percent reporting decreases in revenue (individual giving, foundations, government and corporate support) and 70 percent reporting increases in demand. Although the rates of giving have remained the same, it should be noted that many charities are reporting that the size of donations has decreased (Michigan Nonprofits Struggle with Economic Downturn, MNA/GVSU 2008 Web site: www.mnaonline.org/mnrp. asp). The following are the results of a survey conducted in 2009 to better understand Michigan residents' 2008 charitable giving and volunteering and their perception of charities. Executive Summary Findings from the survey include: • Almost nine out of ten people (87.3%) made a contribution to charity in the previous year*. • Nearly 50 percent of the adult population volunteered in 2008. Women (55.1 %) were more likely to volunteer than men (42.8%). These results demonstrate a growing gap between the volunteer ra tes of men and women. • Nearly 95% of respondents said the need for charities is greater today than in the past. • Nine out of ten Michigan residents believe that charities should retain their tax exemptions. In Spring 2009, 1,001 Michigan residents were asked about their experiences with charitable giving and volunteering during the previous year. The survey continues a tradition of asking Michigan residents about their relationship with the state's nonprofit sector. The survey was conducted by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University between january and March of 2009 as part of the quarterly State of the State Survey (SOSS) series. Giving in Michigan A survey of Michigan residents found that almost nine out of ten people (87.3%) had made a contribution to charity in the previous year. The percentage of women giving decreased from last year to 86.6%, making men (88 .0%) slightly more likely to donate. *Although rates of giving are similar to the past four years, many charities are reporting that the size of donations has decreased. Giving varies by age, with the age groups most likely to make a contribution being 60-64 years (96 .2%), 50-59 years (93.5%), 40-49 years (89.1%), 65+ (86.1 %) and 30-39 years (86.1 %) . Giving rates for younger people are high, with more than four out of five making contributions. Giving rates varied across the state, from southwest Michigan (76.8%) and Detroit (77.6%) to west central Michigan (89.5%), the Northern Lower Pen insula (91.1 %), and the Upper Peninsula (93.5%). �Charitable Contributions in Michigan 2001-2008, %Contributing by Gender Total Female Male 70 65 2008 80 75 • 2006 • 2005 • 2004 90 85 • 2003 • 2002 • 95 2001 Volunteering in Michigan Volunteering continues to be an important element in the lives of Michigan residents, with rates in this survey showing that 49.2% of the adult population volunteered in 2008 . Women (55 .1%) were more likely to volunteer than men (42.8%). These results demonstrate a growing gap between the volunteer rates of men and women. Volunteering changes during an individual's life. Age groups with above average volunteering rates (the average rate being 49.2%) include 18-24 years (53.2%), 30-39 years (51.0%), 50-59 years (50 .0%), 60-64 years (62.3%) and 65+ (49.7%). Lower rates of volunteering occur for age groups 25-29 (38.6%) and 40-49 (44.5%). When asked about their level of volunteering compared to the previous year, more than a quarter of respondents (29.6%) said they plan to volunteer more in the coming year; 61 .1% said they are planning to maintain the same level of volunteering as last year; and 9.3% said they were planning to volunteer less. Volunteering rates increased with education, ranging from high school graduates (44.3%) to college graduates (52.4%), some post graduate education (60.0%), and those with a graduate degree (64.9%). The most common reason for volunteering less was being too busy (49.2%), followed by health reasons (29.4%) and financial reasons (6 .8%) . Volunteering rates across Michigan ranged from high levels in west central Michigan (54.2%), east central Michigan (52.9%) and in the Northern Lower Peninsula (52 .6%), to lower rates in Detroit (41.4%). �Volunteering in Michigan 2001-2008, %Volunteering by Gender Total Female Male 0 10 2008 20 • 2006 • 30 2005 • 2004 40 • 2003 50 • 2002 60 • 200 I Trust in Michigan's Charities Public perceptions are an important element of community trust for the charities that provide services. The survey asked a series of questions in order to understand how Michigan residents feel about their charitable organizations. Overall, the sector in Michigan is strongly supported and trusted, with charitable organizations seen as an important factor in individual well-being. Charitable organizations are widely seen as being effective, with 74% of respondents agreeing strongly (22. 7 %) or somewhat (51.3%) that charities are more effective today than five years ago. About a quarter of respondents somewhat (18.4%) or strongly (7.6%) disagreed with the statement. Charities are also seen as important to community quality of life, with over 87% of Michigan respondents agreeing strongly (45.6%) or somewhat (41.6%) that charities improve their communities, while there was some disagreement (8 .3%) or strong disagreement (4 .4%). More than four out of five Michigan residents agree that charitable organizations are honest and ethical. Sentiment ranged from strongly agree (27. 2 %) and somewhat agree (56. 9 %) to somewhat disagree (11.1 %) or strongly disagree (4 .8%). The need for charities today compared to the past is strongly felt, with almost 95% of respondents agreeing strongly (57.1 %) or somewhat (37.6%) with this sentiment. Disagreement was noted as somewhat (4.3 %) or strong (1.0%). For the first time the survey asked respondents whether charitable organizations should be exempt from paying certain taxes. More than nine out of ten Michigan residents (91.5%) felt that charities should retain their tax exempt status. Less than 10% of people felt that charities should pay taxes.

School districts that have not received funding in the past and who have limited experience with service-learning apply for planning grants to develop a plan to establish service-learning throughout the district. School districts that have received funds in the past apply for implementation grants to expand quality service-learning practice in the district. School districts that have implemented service-learning for three years apply for institutionalization grants to sustain quality service-learning practice. Districts may request funds according to funding category (planning, implementation, institutionalization) and school district pupil count.

The sessions included an introduction to service-learning, an overview of the application guidelines and tips for completing the application. We received applications from 25 school districts or public school academies by the April 30th deadline. The applications were reviewed through peer and staff reviews in May. The staff is recommending 20 ofthe applicants for funding for a total of$361,338.75. A three-day grantee orientation and training is planned for September 2009. Program Visits Since March, the Learn and Serve - Michigan staff visited ten Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee sites. The site visits ensure that programs are compliant and developing according to schedule. All Learn and Serve Michigan grantees are provided guidance on using our program sustainability rubric. The rubric is a roadmap for institutionalizing their programs beyond the grant. It emphasizes vision, quality programming, training, organizational capacity, teaching/learning and evaluation/accountability. It is evident that the majority of programs are using the rubric to guide their work. Several of our grantees who are in their final year of the program have aggressive growth plans in place and have identified local sources of funds to continue their work. This is a major achievement in budget challenged school districts. �Learn and Serve VISTA The MCSC will play host to a Learn and Serve VISTA beginning in July. The VISTA will concentrate her efforts on cultivating and supporting service-learning in high poverty areas in the state. The candidate, who will attend Pre Service Orientation in July, has extensive experience in Detroit Public Schools and will likely spend the majority of her efforts in Detroit. This VISTA allows us the additional support needed to more actively engage schools in high poverty areas. Northern Michigan Curriculum Connections Training On April 15, 2009 the MCSC hosted full-day training on connecting service to the curriculum in Gaylord, Michigan. The 41 participants were from Learn and Serve -Michigan programs and other area schools. Our presenter, Deb Wagner from Ionia lSD provided grantees instruction in the essentials of service-learning and then guided participants in establishing links between service and their classroom curriculum. Each participant received a year long subscription to Task Stream, an online curriculum development tool. This training assisted the MCSC in supporting educators who do not currently benefit from Learn and Serve - Michigan funds . The training was also helpful in providing high quality training for our fairly new programs in Northern Michigan. Coming Up On June 17-18, 2009 the MCSC will host a two-day symposium on program sustainability. Dr. Shelly Billig will work with 40 grantees on their short and long-term goals for service-learning programming in their districts. Planning for the September Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee meeting begins this summer. Approximately 40 individuals will attend this three day meeting that is designed to help programs have a strong start to the school year.

Battle Creek Public Schools' application was recommended forward with revisions by both the Peer and Staff Review; however, the applicant determined that they would be unable to manage the program according to MCSC Policies and Procedures especially as they pertain to staffmg and match, and subsequently dropped out of the process.

Members will serve 8,313 uninsured and underinsured Michigan residents through community forums and other public outreach activities to gain information on services available; enable 24,00 patients to set, modify, or increase their self-management goals with 60% of identified chronically-ill patients reporting that they have remained compliant to their goals, thus �contributing to a better quality of life. Members will also engage 375 volunteers to assist in promoting national health campaigns. Additionally, 100% ofMPCA members will be trained using MCSC and CNCS developed materials to increase understanding of key citizenship principles and to aid in the development of a strong interest in continued civic engagement upon completion of their term of service. �2009-10 Michigan's AmeriCorps Funding • * AmeriCorps Proposed Formula Funding AmeriCorps Competitive Funded Programs (approved Feb 09) �AmeriCorps 2009-2010 Funding AmeriCorps Program ' I American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids BHK Child Development Board Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council Char- Em lSD City Year Detroit Communities in Schools Good Samaritan Ministries Habitat for Humanity Huron Pines AmeriCorps Ingham County Health Department Jumpstart 09-10 Formula funding 0 Number 09-10 of Competitive Funding members $420,297 0 Number of Members 34 Total Funding Total Members $355,327 Ntm1ber of Members 26 $775,624 60 ARRA Funding $392,211 33 0 0 $108,589 9 $500,800 42 $152,016 23 0 0 0 0 $152,016 23 $117,381 10 0 0 $15,000 0 $132,381 10 0 0 $580,745 55 $243,800 8 $824,545 63 $301,200 24 0 0 $333,732 26 $634,932 50 $131,050 15 0 0 $11,801 2 $142,851 17 i I I $189,096 30 0 0 $202,318 17 $391,414 47 $156,863 14 0 0 0 0 $156,863 14 $134,419 10 0 0 0 0 $134,419 10 0 0 $131,399 83 0 0 $131,399 83 �AmeriCorps 2009-2010 Funding Literacy Center of West Michigan Marquette AlgerRESA Michigan Campus Compact MI Coalition Against Homelessness Michigan Primary Care Association MSU Extension: 4H MentorMI Initiative The Guidance Center University of Michigan Totals for all programs Traditional ARRA Total $134,162 10 0 0 0 0 $134,162 10 $172,794 15 0 0 0 0 $172,794 15 0 0 $36,000 300 $17,000 100 $53,000 400 0 0 $259,134 20 $345,102 20 $604,236 40 $201,600 17 0 0 $193,346 15 $394,946 32 0 0 $764,008 60 $293,034 20 $1,057,042 80 $234,832 28 0 $308,736 47 0 0 0 $2,626,360 276 $2,191,583 552 828 members 289 members 1,117 members $4,817,943 $2,559,787 $7,337,730 $143,878 12 $378,710 40 $296,860 34 $605,596 81 $2,559,787 289 $7,377,730 1117 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The transition committee has drafted a strategy template to address short, mid and long term goals. The template is a comprehensive, working document that can be used fluidly throughout the transition of the MCSC. The committee feels it is flexible to adapt to several case scenarios that may arise during the transition period. In addition to the transition strategy, the committee discussed key issues that will set the tone to move through the identified short, mid and long term goals. These issues will impact the long-term strength and enhance the brand ofthe organization: 1- Repositioning the organization With the Serve America act in place timing is optimal to brand the MCSC as the resource for people to think of first . A webinar provides a tremendous opportunity to position the MCSC brand and promote the organization's assets as a critical resource toward a larger constituency. Compile a working committee to develop plan of response to the president's call to service in Michigan . Evaluate Ml's response proposal to be submitted to the governor. The proposal is to compile a working group to move on the creation of the plan. The committee may consist of a few commissioners and stakeholders. Identify a "non choir" member (Dottie Johnson, Julie Fisher Cummings) to facilitate the work of the committee to use this national opportunity to raise awareness. The environment has changed, this provides good opportunity to bring someone in to evaluate where are we now and where are we going? With this plan we can launch our story as a resource to achieve organization goals and enhance the role of volunteerism (participants, economic impact and resources) in MI. This focused work will provide a platform for Ml to place in priority status at a national level for funding and support as in past years. 2- Changing the name of the MCSC In order to reposition the organization as a key resource, implementing a recognizable brand name will be a key element of the strategic plan. This will integrate into the strategic plan through consistent branding, messaging and education tactics. -Possible consultant to evaluate logo/name change? -Evaluate the demographics surrounding the dynamics of using the MCSC � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I appreciated the opportunity to tour the commission and learn more about the valuable programming and services that MCSC provides to the state of Michigan. During my visit, I met with commission staff and various commission stakeholders, including interviews with Evan Albert, CNCS State Program Director; Angelia Salas, State Learn & Serve Program Officer; Jason Weller and Melissa Grant of subgrantee Campaign Against Homeless; and Jane Ray of subgrantee Habitat for Humanity of Michigan. The visit was concluded with an exit meeting to discuss preliminary findings with you, Garry Gross, Marcy Bishop, Jeanine Yard, Megan Sargent, and Michelle Mackie. Upon my return to Washington, I completed a follow-up desk review of the supporting documentation that was shipped to my office. As promised, I am providing you with this monitoring report to review the findings in greater detail. I have also included the completed monitoring tool used during the visit and the follow-up desk review as adopted from the AmeriCorps State Administrative Standards. The standards modules used for monitoring were as follows : • • • • • Standard One: Uses a Planning and Assessment Process Standard Two: Manages Staff and Ensures Effective Board Governance Standard Three: Communication with and Generates Support from Outside Sources Standard Six: Properly Monitors Subgrantees and Ensures Compliance Standard Seven: Implements a System for Training and Technical Assistance In addition, I did a cursory review of the following standards: • • Standard Five: Conducts Proper Subgrantee Process Standard Eight: Provides Appropriate Financial Oversight of Subgrantees 1 of24 �Below, I have summarized the strengths, clarification items, required actions, and suggested actions that resulted from the visit. I ask that you send me a plan for addressing clarification items and required actions in writing (email) by Tuesday, November 10,2009. In your response, please describe your timeline for addressing the required actions below. Though not required, I also encourage you to consider implementing the suggested actions prior to the start of your 2010 Administrative grant on January 1, 2010. Strengths: • Standard One: MCSC uses a strategic planning process for the development of its state service plan and evaluates against this plan annually as evidenced by its Blueprint for Action Plans. • Standard Two: MCSC benefits greatly from the capacity of strong staff as evidenced by the quality of documentation and feedback from interviewed stakeholders. Commission provides adequate support to its staff including professional development opportunities. The complement of staff appears to be appropriate for the commission's workload. Furthermore, the commission complies with its own state's requirements for managing commissions and/or boards . • Standard Three: MCSC has diverse funding support from public and private funding . Although future state funding at current levels is to be determined, the commission receives a high level of cash match support of approximately $1M from its state agency ' s budget. Commissioners also raise money for the annual governor's service awards and are developing a separate fund to support subgrantee match. • Standard Six: MCSC effectively monitors and ensures compliance through a hands-on facilitative approach with its subgrantees. Commission has an effective subgrantee monitoring instrument that is adapted from the State Administrative Standards Tool used by CNCS. Moreover, the commission provides timely and supportive feedback to its subgrantees a strength ofthe commission's program and training staff. • Standard Seven: MCSC provides effective training and technical assistance to its subgrantees. Its system includes the use of appropriate technology, a needs assessment survey, monthly training deliverables, and ongoing evaluation to support continuous improvement. The incorporation of AmeriCorps VISTA to support its cross-stream committee and inclusion workgroup efforts is promising. In addition, training opportunities are open to AmeriCorps national programs operational sites as evidenced by Community Health Corps participation at the 9/24 program directors meeting. Clarification Items: • Please describe the impact to commission operations given the state budget crisis and the future of state agency funding at current levels. • Please describe the relationship of the Senior Corps Directors Association within the scope of the state service plan. 2 of24 �Required Actions: • Please include me on the distribution list of regular commissioner meeting agendas and minutes. • Standard Eight: The ability of the state agency to process cash reimbursement in a timely manner is a concern. The current turnaround of up to 45 days to process a payment places tremendous hardship on subgrantees particularly among those smaller subgrantees that do not have enough cash reserve to front the costs. As the commission gears up for expansion, this processing delay is NOT reasonable and may limit the type of organizations that can apply for AmeriCorps funding through the commission. To be accessible to smaller non-profits, the commission must decrease the time needed to reimburse its subgrantees, or at least have a measure in place to expedite reimbursements in cases of extreme hardship. Suggested Actions: • Standard Element l .b.: Given the expanded role of state service commissions under Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, it is recommended that the commission revisit its mission statement with stakeholders identified in the upcoming state service plan. • Standard Element l.h.: It is recommended that the commission strengthen its intermediary, coalition, and consortium models to improve upon program development in underserved areas of the state, including Indian Country. • Standard Element 2.f.: It is recommended that the commission include a labor representative from the school union, a youth commissioner from its state learn and serve portfolio, and a volunteer sector representative as commissioner appointments to the board to address the current needs of the commission. • Standard Element 2.g.: It is recommended that the commission include a CNCS state office report and a State LSA report as standing agenda items at commissioner meetings. This would allow for a regular portfolio update on national service activities across the state in which the commissioners oversee. • Standard Element 2.g.: There appears to be a lack of understanding of commissioners on the part of the subgrantees. Continued awareness on the part of both parties is recommended so that there is an alignment between all levels of stakeholders. Subgrantees are aware of their commissioners as commissioners are aware of the progress in the AmeriCorps State and State LSA portfolio. • Standard Element 3.a.: It is recommended that MCSC strengthen its award notification process to further support the branding of the commission among the general public and elected officials. • Standard Element 3.d.: It is recommended that the commission continue to work with the CNCS state office to share project development strategies, including joint-programming underserved communities including service in Indian Country. • Standard Element 7.b.: It is recommended that the commission track its training deliverables and evaluation results for reporting and continuous development purposes. • Standard Element 7.b. : It is recommended that the commission research a servicelearning model (i.e., Leader Corps) to strengthen its inter-corps council to assist with organizing member conferences and national days of service events. 3 of24 �• Standard Element 7.b.: It is recommended that the commission incorporate the effective use of AmeriCorps ALUMS into various commission functions to assist with the local ALUMS chapter development. For example, ALUMS may be used creatively to support the commission's application review process, as a training resource to new members on how to survive on living allowance and Life After AmeriCorps, or as a ALUM representati ve on various committees including serving as a member training advisor or state commissioner. ALUMS are your future program directors, sponsor EDs, or commission staff as evidenced by many ALUMS in your AmeriCorps portfolio. The commission may also budget for ALUMS support in its Admin/PDAT/Disability if it so chooses . Above all, I hope that this monitoring report will serve as a useful tool for MCSC to focus on areas of compliance, where needed; as well as to consider areas for continuous programmatic and organizational improvement. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding any of the required actions, clarification items, or suggested actions described in this letter; or any of the content of the fina l monitoring report. Thank you again for arranging for my visit, and I look forward to reviewing your responses and working with you further.

Kennedy Serve America Act. The new grant funding - totaling $1 million dollars- will support innovative summer-time service-learning programs for students grades 6 through 9. "These grants are geared to funding programs that will ignite the spark of civic engagement in students at a critical point in their lives," said Nicola Goren, acting CEO of the Corporation. "Getting involved in service at a young age will start students on a path toward life-long service while at the same time, they address pressing needs in their own communities." The Corporation anticipates awarding five to seven grants to support collaborative efforts to implement community-based service-learning projects during the summer months. To qualify for funding, projects will have to provide students with service-learning experiences that address environmental or disaster preparedness issues relevant to the community served and teach or reinforce academic, civic and leadership development for participants. Participants in the Summer of Service must complete at least 100 hours of service through the summer program and are eligible to receive a $500 education award in return for their service that can be used to pay for post-secondary education expenses. Eligible applicants for these awards include state education agencies, state service commissions, U.S. territories, Indian tribes, institutions of higher education, public or private nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, public or private elementary or secondary schools, local education agencies, and consortia of such entities. Funding for this grant competition is contingent on the enactment of the Fiscal Year 20 I 0 budget for the Corporation.
