Ofthese interested organizations, 18 submitted applications. Peer review took place on November 3 and staff review took place November 10. Staff recommendations and feedback was compiled and shared with applicants on November 12. Those selected to move forward in the process will be invited to attend a daylong training and technical assistance session provided by MCSC AmeriCorps staff on Monday, November 29, 2010. We will present the staff recommendations at the January 2011 MCSC Board Meeting. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act As of September 30,2010, all Michigan ' s AmeriCorps programs, except three, have completed their ARRAfunded program years. The three remaining have just a few members still in service who will complete their terms over the next few months. In most cases, programs met and often far exceeded their stated objectives. CNCS Progress Reports Michigan' s AmeriCorps grantees have all submitted quarterly or bi-annual progress reports. The reports are being reviewed, written feedback provided to all, and information compiled to provide one aggregate report to the CNCS on December 6, 2010. We will share overall accomplishments with the board at the January meeting. 2010 Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration: We Weren't Born to Follow! This annual event- open to all AmeriCorps*State, National, VISTA members, and alums- serves as a kick-off for AmeriCorps in Michigan. The Member Celebration provides an opportunity for members to come together for a day of networking, training, and teambuilding. Members learn about the AmeriCorps and national service family and how they are all connected. The Celebration offers a variety of workshops that focus on personal and professional development, volunteer recruitment, service project planning, and other topics relevant to national and community service. This year's event features opening remarks by Paula Kaiser VanDam; a keynote address by motivational humorist, Alex Ritzema; and a performance by the Sven Jollies Improv Troupe. The swearingin ceremony, featuring the AmeriCorps Pledge led by MCSC Board Chair Jim Vella, will conclude the Member Celebration and reaffirm members ' commitment to AmeriCorps and national service. Michigan's AmeriCorps' Leader Corps Formerly Member Council, the newly renamed Leader Corps will be convened the evening ofNovember 18 and all day November 19 for orientation and training. Leader Corps will expand this year to accommodate our new grantees, as well as a larger representation from National Direct AmeriCorps programs. Additional committee activities will be implemented based on this growth, specifically a new committee focused on diversity and inclusion. CNCS Grants Management Institute The Corporation for National and Community Service hosted their annual National Grants and Financial Management Institute in Dearborn, Michigan, November 15-17. The MCSC played a prominent role in this event by providing a welcome plenary to participants from the other 50 states and an evening reception for other State Service Commission attendees. Thank you to Ford Motor Company Fund for sponsoring the event. �Michigan's AmeriCorps Accomplishments American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funding The impact of the 300 members funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is significant.

Continued Growth is projected based on the Serve America Act. The federal resources require matching funds. Unfortunately, the nonprofits that need these national service resources the most are the least equipped to provide the match funds necessary. Therefore, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations, proposes the creation of the Michigan's National Service Solutions Fund. Michigan's philanthropic community will be tapped to contribute to the fund. Purpose of the Michigan's National Service Solutions Fund The purpose of the Michigan's National Service Solutions Fund is to support new initiatives which seek to utilize national service in addressing some of our state's most difficult challenges. The funds will be used to provide a portion of the required match for national service programs in Michigan. In the initial year (s), the funds raised will be used to support new AmeriCorps member positions. Annually, the MCSC board will assess the available federal funding and the resources of the fund and determine the most effective way the Fund can leverage the most national service resources. How will the fund be administered? The Michigan's National Service Solutions Fund will be housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation and will be administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission. The process for accessing these funds is still being determined. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction- Chair Jim Vella The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:10 p.m. by Chair Jim Vella. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. Paula VanDam introduced Steve Springer, the new MCSC Deputy Director. II. Review and Approval of April 22, 20 10 Minutes - Chair Jim Vella Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the April22, 2010 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, approval item will be sent out to Commissioners that did not attend for approval. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from June 25 and August 20, 2010 meetings. The Executive Committee authorized the MCSC staff to proceed with the plan to move to the Michigan Nonprofit Center. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Lawson moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, approval item will be sent out to Commissioners that did not attend for approval. B. Board Development Committee- Ms. VanDam gave an update on board development. Commissioner Jerry Seese was term limited so he leaves the board after serving for 9 years and Jason Hoskins cannot serve another term due to his recent enrollment in law school and the time commitment that will take. In addition, we have a union representative position that still needs to be filled and we have a recommendation for filling that slot. Ella Kate Wagner has been appointed to fill the youth slot. She is a freshman at Michigan State University and has been very involved in service-learning all through her K-12 education. Ella Kate has also been active and involved at the national level and served on the National Service Learning Youth Council. Diana Algra has also been appointed to serve in the slot of the volunteer expert (a new slot established through the Serve America Act). IV. Executive Director Report- Paula VanDam A. Michigan Voices for Volunteerism- 10 City Listening Tour Ms. VanDam shared information on the listening tour. She thanked the Commissioners that participated in the sessions and shared some key findings. The purpose was to engage community stakeholders and to hear their thoughts about how to expand service and volunteerism to address some of our state' s biggest challenges. At the same time, we wanted to explore how volunteerism, particularly national service, could be expanded and utilized differently to effectively improve our communities. We visited 10 cities: Benton Harbor, Cadillac, Detroit, Flint, Houghton, Lansing, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, and Sault Ste. Marie. W also gave people who couldn't participate in person an opportunity to give us feedback online. We had more than 70 individuals respond online and received three personal letters from local organizations describing how service is critical to their organization. We had nearly 400 people attend the sessions which included K-12 2 �schools, faith-based organizations, nonprofit agencies, community based organizations, community leaders and more. Critical Challenges: During the session we asked attendees what were Michigan's biggest challenges. The common challenges include education, health, personal/public safety, poverty, and the unemployment/economy issue. The Corporation is currently embarking on their own strategic plan and most of our challenges align with their priorities. Our only challenge not represented in the CNCS plan is public safety. When they came to Michigan we made a real push for why public safety should be included in the Corporation' s strategic plan. Resources: Another question asked was what resources in the communities aren't currently being tapped in terms ofvolunteerism. The key resources that came up were businesses/corporations, college students, faith-based, K-12 students, seniors, technology (social media) and the unemployed. So as we begin to talk about the development of our State Service Plan, we need to focus on how we engage these untapped resources. We can look at strategies around corporate volunteerism, how we can partner with Campus Compact and higher engagement of college students, and the youth engagement piece. Commissioner Lawson stated that the hunger issue in Michigan is so huge. It becomes a health and poverty issue. Without food or nourishment, kids are not going to learn. We need to make sure we use this as an overlay on some of these other challenges. Jocelyn Yanda stated that DHS is working on helping with the hunger issue and that online applications to speed up the process of getting DHS help is going well. Ms. VanDam shares that we need to think strategically about how we can be helpful. But the challenge is that AmeriCorps members cannot spend their time helping individuals get access to other federal benefits. Commissioner Collier asked how can we do a better job of using the network of Secretary of State offices to address the technology issue and leverage opportunities. The Secretary of State candidates both thought that was a great idea so we intend to follow up on that discussion after the election. Capacity: During the session we also asked how we can increase the capacity of organizations to engage more volunteers and to engage them effectively. Some ofthe key findings that were noted from this discussion included collaboration, effective volunteer management, media/marketing, technology, and training. National Service: There was discussion around how National Service can be tapped to better enhance the local volunteer infrastructure and capacity. Findings included having AmeriCorps members or VISTA members placed in organizations to increase the capacity to engage volunteers and set up the systems to do that. We could use National Service to enhance volunteer recruitment at the local level, increase program capacity and program sustainability. The eye-opening feedback we got when we asked this question was the lack of knowledge about National Service to effectively answer the question. So the MCSC will need to spend some time educating folks about national service in their communities and how to tap those resources. There were also comments about reducing the administrative burden as it relates to administering national service programs. 3 �Impact: The final question asked was how to maximize the impact of volunteerism. The main thing we heard was that the volunteer experience has to be meaningful. But other comments included effective volunteer management, promoting the benefits of volunteering, being able to track (how many volunteers, who' s volunteering, how many hours, etc), and doing a better job of telling the story of the impact volunteers are having in our communities. Next steps: We' ve shared the comprehensive summary with the participants along with the summary of their local session. We've also been communicating regularly with these folks as new opportunities come up and as we hear about opportunities related to service and volunteerism in their communities. We' ll use the information from the listening tour to draft our State Service Plan and we ' ll begin to secure the resources to carry out the work of the plan. Diana Algra suggested that we might want to hold a civic engagement summit in the Cities of Service locations. We have all this information so we could bring some of the key partners and AmeriCorps programs in these cities together to see how we can partner. Kari Pardoe shared that young people could tackle some of these challenges through Learn and Serve students, Youth Advisory Councils (Y AC), and LEAGUE students. Ms. VanDam stated that as the State Service Plan is developed, it will have a youth engagement component. The MCSC has been great in supporting service-learning based on our Learn and Serve funding, but we need to think broader about a larger youth engagement initiative for young people in our state. Jocelyn Yanda asked that we include the foster care youth and Native American youth when developing a plan around youth engagement. B. CNCS/National Service Update 1. FYll Funding- Ms. VanDam stated that there is currently not a budget in place and that we will be operating under a continuing resolution (CR) until at least the end ofthe year. There is some discussion, depending the outcome of the election, that we may be operating under a continuing resolution for the whole year. Our hope is that this doesn't happen because we are working hard towards an expansion of AmeriCorps funding and if we operate under the CR we won ' t see this expansion. The FYll budget shows an increase from FYI 0 in both the House and Senate budget recommendations but not to the President's level. Commissioner Algra asked whether the outcome of the 2010 Census would affect our funding. Ms. VanDam replied that it will affect us but not until the next funding year. It will also negatively impact our federal administration funding as it is based on population. That is where it will impact us the most. Ms. VanDam explained that a new policy will implemented for the FYll program year. The resources for AmeriCorps are increasing and the resources to administer it are remaining flat. We are at a point where we have two program officers overseeing 26 programs and over 1200 members in our state and this is going to continue to grow. Our administration resources are not going to grow in a way that is going to allow us expand our staff to provide the level of oversight that we need to 4 �provide as well as the level of support that we need to provide to our programs. There is a rule in place where Commissions can retain a percentage of program dollars that we grant out but we just have never chosen to do that. For us it has been about trying to give the subgrantees every single penny they need but we 've come to a point where it's going to be risky for us to continue to bring more programs into our portfolio. We could grow to 30 programs and there is no way we can continue to provide the level of support with the staff that we have. The MCSC is going to retain 1%. We currently subgrant approximately $8 million to AmeriCorps programs so at 1% that will give us $80,000 so will give us enough to create a third full-time program officer position with benefits. We've had to do that for two reasons. One, in order to create a position with the State you can't use soft money. They need to know that we have the funding for the position on a consistent basis. Two, we've been able to get supplemental funding from the CNCS for admin purposes the last couple of years, but that is not stable enough funding to approve a position. This will allow us to demonstrate to DHS that we have a stable pot of money to support the position so that they will approve the position. We've unveiled this in the application guidelines that are currently available so that applicants will know that we will be retaining this 1% when they apply. Commissioner Parker asked what was the maximum that the Commission could withhold? Ms. VanDam responded that she believes the maximum is 2.5%. Because the guidelines are out now and we had to make the decision quickly, if we find that we can gamer other resources (if federal admin goes up) and don't need that much, we can adjust it in their budgets later. With the funding getting more competitive and the formula funding potentially dropping due to Census results, Chair Vella stated that it will be more important for us to have the additional funding to have the staff resources to administer the programs but to also go after additional competitive dollars. You can make the case of return of investment if the MCSC received additional competitive funding. Ms. VanDam explained that the competitive funding used to be split into two pots, one for national direct programs and one for state commissions. With the Serve America Act, the competitive funding has been combined so that national direct programs and state commissions are now competing for the same competitive funding. The competition has gotten much stronger, so we can no longer just issue an RFP and hope that new programs will come in that compete nationally. We now spend more time on program development so that we have programs that can compete at the federal level. This is a very different role than we've played in the past. Ms. VanDam shared that when she was at the grantee meeting, Executive Directors were having this conversation around withholding a percentage. Many were not currently doing this but that they are in the same situation as Michigan and may need to consider it. Ms. VanDam will do some investigating on what other commissions are doing around this issue and then some projections around 1%, 1.5%, up to 2.5% and present that at the November MCSC board meeting. A decision will need to be made prior to the competitive application being submitted to CNCS in January. Ms. VanDam also said that we've had two Inspector General investigations in the past few years to investigate BHK (with some findings that we are still negotiate on) and Communities In Schools Detroit where there will be some findings that will need to be addressed. It is imperative for the MCSC that because we have had two investigations within an 18 month period 5 �time that we can demonstrate that we have the capacity to take on more money. Chair Vella also suggested that since there is more work involved with competitive applications, maybe there is a different percentage for formula and competitive grantees. 2. Volunteer Generation Fund- This a $4 million federal pot of money that is available only to state commissions. The MCSC was awarded a $486,913 grant to implement Volunteer Michigan- which was the largest VGF award granted by the CNCS. We will be partnering with Volunteer Centers of Michigan to administer the funds. The funds will be granted out to seven communities and the volunteer connector organization in that community must be the legal applicant. The organization must be connected with at least five other volunteer organizations in that community and they have to develop a partnership that will engage volunteers around the health or public safety issue. We received 17 intents to apply and 10 formal applications were submitted. We are in the process of reviewing those applications and will present the recommendations for funding at the November MCSC board meeting. Approximately $90,000 of the funds will used to purchase technology and will allow us to finally have a state portal for volunteerism. It will also allow us to help those seven Volunteer Centers to have the technology then need to manage and promote volunteerism. The MNA' s Civic Engagement Team, in partnership with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and under the banner of ConnectMichigan Alliance, has pledged $50,000 in additional funds to support Volunteer Michigan. 3. Financial Site visit- Our CNCS Financial Grants officer, Doug Lees, was in Michigan reviewing our fmancial systems. He looked at how we grant money and how we manage our various CNCS grants. There were no fmdings and Doug felt that the MCSC had solid systems in place. There were some continuous improvement recommendations and he will send those to us in writing. Ms. VanDam also shared that Garry Gross was scheduled to return the end of September but his military duty has been extended another six months but he and Paula are trying to work out an agreement that he will come in one day a week. 4. Strategic Planning Session- The Corporation is embarking on a 5-year strategic plan. They have been going through an extensive planning process. They have had webinars to get input on their strategic plan and have hosted community dialogues where Patrick Corvington or other CNCS board members have been in the communities across the country using a very specific process to engage individuals in the conversation of how to get input around the strategic plan. There are six focus areas they have identified: education, healthy futures, environmental stewardship, veterans, opportunity, and disaster preparedness. In those areas you see more specifically what they will be focusing on. Their strategic plan will be unveiled later this fall. Julie Fisher Cummings, a CNCS board member and former MCSC Commissioner, came to Michigan to help with the community dialogues in Detroit and Flint. While Julie was here, she met with some Flint funders and talked about national service and how they might tap national service to address some of the key issues in the Flint community. The MCSC did a follow up meeting in Flint related to AmeriCorps funding opportunities and there were approximately 20 organizations that participated to learn about AmeriCorps. 6 �5. CNCS Update- Patrick Corvington will be speaking at the CMF conference on Monday, October 11 , in Traverse City and at the Team Up! Michigan Conference on Tuesday, October 12 in Detroit. Rob and Paula are working with CNCS staff to have Patrick talk with the funders about the importance of investing in national service in Michigan. C. Program Updates 1. AmeriCorps Update- The MCSC will bring on six new AmeriCorps programs this year. Staff has been spending time working with these new programs as well as working with new staff of existing programs. Staff conducted a Planning Phase Training and brought the new program directors together for an intensive four-day training. They were able to develop a lot of their systems as part ofthis institute. Staff has also been on-site for many of the new programs providing support to them. We are also doing outreach for new AmeriCorps programs for 2011-12 and have done outreach sessions in Flint, Muskegon and Port Huron and two webinars that anyone could participate in. Michigan' s AmeriCorps ARRA funding is wrapping up and the final report will be due in October. We will share those final reports at the November meeting. 2. Learn and Serve Update -Learn and Serve- Michigan brought on seven new school districts this year along with 18 returning programs. Because of the number of grantees we have this year and only have one staff member to oversee the grantees, we are having two of our former grantees play a coaching support role to the new grantees. When Julie Fisher Cummings was in Detroit for the community dialogue, she was able to visit the Detroit Service Learning Academy. She was very impressed and excited to see the great work that is happening in that school. Kent County ISD received a Youth Engagement Zone grant, which is a new grant authorized under the Serve America Act. They will get $880,905 over a 3 year grant to focus on community and environment revitalization through service-learning projects. The Kent County ISD has been a service-learning grantee of ours for the last few years so we will work with them to help support their work in the Kent County area. 3. Mentor Michigan- The staff is preparing for the 51h Annual Mentor Michigan Conference on November 1i 11 • There will also be a preconference on November 16 and David DuBois will be working with some of our programs on research and evaluation. We are going to announce the creation of the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council at the conference and that Lloyd Carr and Tony Campbell will serve as co-chairs of the Council. MSU Extension, which has been the legal applicant for the Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps Program, is at the end of their three-year funding cycle and has decided not to be the administer of the program. Mentor Michigan has partnered with Michigan Campus Compact to become the legal applicant for a new program, the Mentor Michigan College Coaching Corps. This program will have a different focus in hopes that we will be able to leverage some additional competitive funding for the program. Not only will it be about growing mentors, but also being more strategic with regard to mentoring around college access and college success. This year the mentoring organizations could still have members help them to increase their capacity to support mentoring in their communities but 7 �they needed to add the college access component also. Forty members will be placed in youth mentoring organizations and ten members will be placed on college campuses to serve as liaisons between those institutions and their community. Another key update, as you' ll recall from the Mentor Michigan Strategic Plan, one key area that we focused on was serving the underserved populations in underserved areas. One place identified was Detroit. As we were developing the strategic plan we were approached by the Metro Detroit Mentoring Collaborative, which has been run by Kris Marshall and Winning Futures, as well as some other leading mentoring organizations in Detroit, to request that the collaborative have a more formal relationship with Mentor Michigan. Kris Marshall has done a fabulous job running the collaborative, but it wasn't always viewed as being convened by a neutral party. Amber and Paula have been meeting with their leadership and they have agreed to create the Metro Detroit Mentoring Council. It will be an advisory cotmcil to Mentor Michigan and will focus on mentoring activities and needs of the Detroit area. Mentor Michigan will be hosting a town hall meeting on October 28th to launch the Council, to gain feedback on the needs in the region, and to begin to recruit members for the Council. The Wave VIII Mentor Michigan Census will launch on September 13 and go through October 8. Results of the Census will be available in January. Also Meijer Mini-grants ($15 ,000) will be offered to organizations that host mentor recognition or recruitment events during Michigan Mentoring Month in January 2011. D. National Service I Cross-Stream Update 1. 9111 Day of Service- Elyse Walter gave an update on the 2nd annual September 11 Day of Service and Remembrance. The MCSC led statewide efforts around "Tackle Hunger" and reached out to Volunteer Centers, Campus Compacts, and national service programs and encouraged them to plan a food or donation drive or gather a group of individuals to volunteer at their local food bank. It was suggested to spread the effort over the fall as it is hard for schools to implement it so close to Labor Day and the first week of school. Ms. VanDam shared that due to the funding from the Volunteer Generation Fund and the need to have more support around national days of service, the MCSC has requested and awarded an additional VISTA position to focus on these areas. 2. Cross-Stream Conference- Michigan's National Service Cross-Stream Conference will take place on October 12-13 in Detroit. Patrick Corvington will be a keynote speaker and a Commissioner Round Table discussion will also take place on this same day. E. Governor' s Service Awards -Paula VanDam presented staff recommendations for GSA 2009 and 2010 proceeds. Proceeds for 2009 were $96,130 and 2010 were $71 ,065. Commissioners chose not to designate the funds from the 2009 proceeds due to the uncertainty of how State funding for MCSC would affect us. There is a total of $167,195 for distribution. Staff recommendations are: $ 10,000 GSA account for 2011 8 �$100,000 $ 5,000 $ 17,195 $ 15,000 $20,000 Mentor Michigan Support Cities of Service initiative I convene them Designate resources for MCSC 20th Anniversary in 2011 and transition activities National Days of Service- mini-grants to plan projects around 9/11 , Global Youth Service Day, MLK Day Commission Development Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for the GSA proceeds for 2009 and 2010. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the recommendations; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Due to lack of quorum, approval item will be sent out to Commissioners that did not attend for approval. F. Financial Report I MCSC Space Update- Ms. VanDam explained the MCSC FY10 Comparative Financial Statement through the end of third quarter (June). With Garry Gross on military leave and not using his full salary, we will be shifting some of the Mentor Michigan Coordinator salary, which is listed under private funds, to the General Fund to make sure that all of those funds are used. The Michigan Nonprofit Association will be creating a nonprofit office building with other local nonprofits that include the Capital Region Community Foundation, Michigan Association of United Way, and the Capital Area United Way. A Lansing developer will be turning the Armory Building into office space for this endeavor. The MCSC explored the option of moving into the Nonprofit Center and has obtained the required approval to do so. The MCSC current lease is up in June 2011 so the move will not affect our lease. G. Cities of Service Update- Barb Patton could not join us for the meeting today as today was the official launch ofthe Detroit Cities of Service Initiative. Detroit Mayor Bing is holding a press conference today announcing the initiative. As part of the announcement, they will be planting 40 trees. We have 20 AmeriCorps members along with several MCSC staff at the event and helping to plant the trees. The Detroit Cities of Service will be announcing their plan which will focus on areas such as public safety/neighborhood protection (Eyes & Ears Safe Neighborhood Program), neighborhood restoration (blight elimination and environmental enhancement), education and improving literacy for both children and adults, and youth engagement. They will be creating their own website and own portal for engaging volunteers. This is disheartening to us because there are already a couple of ways people can fmd volunteer opportunities in Detroit so to add another one does not solve our problem as it creates more confusion and competition. We have some work to do in this community to try to address the issue of the infrastructure to engage volunteers in Detroit. There are two things that played into this decision. First, they are under the guidance ofNew York (where the grant money came from) to deliver and to deliver in a specific time frame. Second, the $100,000 they got for the next two years will just cover Barb's salary so there is no money to implement. New York offered that they can use their server and portal to create their system so that is what they are doing because it was a requirement of the grant and they had to get this done quickly. 9 �The MCSC is working with Ms. Patton to help connect her to the volunteer and nonprofit organizations in Detroit that can help her. We will schedule a meeting with Barb, Paula, Bernard Parker, and Janet Lawson to talk about the systems that are in place in the Detroit area. Ms. VanDam stated that we want to make sure that whatever is created through this initiative is sustained. H. State Employee Charitable Campaign- Ms. VanDam was excited to report that this year the State Employee Charitable Campaign has changed their education leave (8 hours) to include community activities. As part of the launch ofthe campaign they have identified specific voltmteer projects that employees can participate in. This benefit has not been used much so the new campaign will encourage employees to get connected and be active through serving others. I. Partner Update -Renee Zientek gave a Michigan Campus Compact update. They currently have 300 Michigan Service Scholars AmeriCorps members serving on college campuses, along with 10 College Coaching Corps members and 17 AmeriCorps*VISTAs. They also have a five state collaborative grant that will focus on STEM and service-learning. Ms. Zientek spoke at the Learn and Serve grantee meeting and explained the grant to them and encouraged them to partner with a higher education facility to apply for the grant. Diana Algra distributed the Michigan Nonprofit Association Annual Report. She also shared that Volunteer Centers of Michigan are excited to partner with the MNA on the Volunteer Generation Fund initiative. Kari Pardoe announced that The LEAGUE has merged with Points of Light Foundation/Hands On Network which also means that the Learning to Give, the curriculum that we use, also transferred over. At the national level, the new initiative will be called generationOn. They currently have 175 schools across the state which equates to 875 classrooms. Ms. VanDam shared that Kari Pardoe and Angelia Salas have been meeting regularly to develop a good partnership between the two. In some cases The LEAGUE is operating in the same schools we are funding for service learning so we want to be strategic in leveraging resources for these schools. V. New Business- Chair Vella A. Transition- Rob Collier shared that he has been meeting with Gubernatorial, Secretary of State, and four Congressional candidates to make sure that they know the value ofthe Commission, the value of philanthropy, and the value of the nonprofit sector in our state. Mr. Collier suggests that if Commissioners are at a fundraiser for a candidate to share the importance ofthe Commission. They are also meeting with future leaders for the State Legislature. Mr. Collier has also had a phone call with one of Mr. Snyder's advisors and shared information on the Commission and that we would like to schedule a meeting with Mrs. Snyder to share the role we would like her to play. Ms. VanDam will also be working with Dan Mulhern to make sure the Commission is represented in their briefing material with the new administration. 10 �B. MCSC ' s 20th Anniversary - There was discussion around the Commission' s 20th anniversary in 2011 . It is important to have an event at the Capitol to educate legislators about the work of the Commission and to also re-engage former Commissioners. It may also benefit combining a large celebration with the Governor' s Service Awards to help combine fundraising efforts. An ad-hoc committee was formed to begin planning for the MCSC ' s 20th Anniversary. The committee members are Janet Lawson (Chair), Karen Betley, Diana Algra, and Carolyn Bloodworth. Others that should be included are Kyle Caldwell and former Commissioners Julie Fisher Cummings and Dottie Johnson. A meeting will be scheduled with this committee. VI. Public Comment- None VII.

Welcome and Introduction- Chair Jim Vella The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:35 p.m. by Chair Jim Vella. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval of September 29, 2010 Minutes- Chair Jim Vella Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 29, 2010 board meeting. Commissioner Algra moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from November 8, 2010 meetings. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. MCSC 201h Anniversary Committee- Commissioner Lawson shared that the Committee met for the first time today and gave an overview of the meeting. We will begin to celebrate the 20 1h Anniversary in November of2011 which will be close to the original "birthdate" of the Commission along with coinciding with other large MCSC events (AmeriCorps Member Celebration, Mentoring Conference, and Governor' s Service Awards). It also gives us a period oftime to plan for the events. We have created pillars to help plan for the celebration and to move the work of the Commission forward. Those pillars are teach, advocate, record and share, celebrate, develop media presence, and develop resources. Each of the Commissioners will be asked to be part of a team that represents one of these pillars. We will also reach out to former Commissioners and other external friends of the Commission to be part of the planning. Each of the pillars contains deliverables, time lines, and key leadership. The Governor' s Service Awards will be moved to November 2011 and will be joined with the 20 1h Anniversary celebration so we will only need to fimdraise for one event. Once the pillars are in place with their deliverables (ex: packets of information, developed resources, etc), we will be able to move forward so that our 20th anniversary isn't just one event but we have created a full packet and we can maintain that presence throughout the state now that we've identified who we are and we've educated. There will also be an alumni event to reconnect with former Commissioners to discuss where we've been and where we need to go. Commissioner Lawson also suggested that the MCSC hires a part time project manager (at a cost of approximately $40,000) to carry out the work of the 20th Anniversary planning and activities as it is going to take a lot of work and the MCSC staff does not have the capacity at this time. Commissioners will fimdraise to support this position. Ms. VanDam stated that we have allocated $20,000 from GSA proceeds to support 20th Anniversary activities. Those funds could be used to support this position. IV. New Business A. Transition - Chair Vella shared that he recently sent a letter to Governor-Elect Snyder introducing him to the Commission. With the change of administration, this is a great opportunity for the MCSC to tell our story. We have a great story to tell of what the 2 �MCSC is able to do and the resources we bring into the State. Ms. VanDam explained that we are in the education part of our transition strategy and will continue to push our message. In addition to what we are doing in Michigan, Patrick Corvington sent a letter to all newly elected Governors talking about the Commission and the important roles Commissions play. Also, the Association of State Commissions (ASC) has been working to get cunent Republican Governors to go on record about National Service and the work of State Commissions to introduce new Governors to this work. Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour will be sending out a letter to all new Governors introducing them to State Service Commissions. Commissioner Collier also added that his conversations with the transition team have been very positive. He also said it will be important to educate the new members of Congress about National Service and the MCSC. If Commissioners have any relationships within their new offices they should try to meet with them and educate them about the MCSC. Chairman Vella shared that as a Commissioner, it is our job to advocate for the MCSC. He also shared that we have reached out to Mrs. Snyder but have been advised that she is not taking an active role in the administration so we should wait on our ask that she serve as Chair. Commissioner Collier stated that it will be important to educate the State Legislators as there will be a large turnover there too. V. Executive Director Report- Paula VanDam A. Volunteer Generation Fund- Ms. VanDam gave background on the VGF. The MCSC received $486,913 to increase the capacity of volunteer connectors in Michigan to enhance the volunteer infrastructure and capacity of nonprofit organizations to more effectively engage volunteers. The MCSC will fund and support seven volunteer connectors that will collaborate and partner with five organizations in their community around a public health or public safety issue. These organizations will demonstrate using service as a strategy to address one of these two issues. · The staff recommends funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Allegan County United Way and Volunteer Center $49,000 Resource Genesee $4 7,713 $30,000 United Way oflonia County, Volunteer Connections Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo $40,000 Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan $44,919 Volunteer Lenawee $48,000 Volunteer Muskegon $39,634 In addition to this recommendation, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) has been an important partner in Volunteer Michigan and the MCSC will contract with them to play key roles around training and technical assistance. They will help provide ongoing support in developing new trainings around engaging highly skilled volunteers and volunteers from certain demographics. This includes evaluation, development of materials, and playing a role in the implementation of new technology that the seven grantees will use to help better match volunteers called HandsOn Connect. The staff recommends funding in the amount of$145,957 to Michigan Nonprofit Association!V olunteer Centers of Michigan to support this. 3 �Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for funding for the Volunteer Generation Fund. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the recommendations; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Algra abstained due to conflict of interest. Ms. VanDam explained that is a three-year grant so we will work with these communities to develop sustainable infrastructure in these communities but there may be an opportunity to leverage more money if the national funding grows and we will bring on new communities. In addition, MNA and the ConnectMichigan Alliance partners have received funding from W.K. Kellogg Foundation in the past to demonstrate the power of the ConnectMichigan Alliance at the local level. They are contributing some money so that we can stretch our dollars through the VGF and will be offering mini-grants to afford the HandsOn Connect technology for more vohmteer connectors across the state. So the volunteer connector may not be one of the seven initial grantees, many of them will still be able to benefit from the VGF opportunity through these mini-grants. HandsOn Connect technology will allow volunteer centers to post volunteer opportunities in their communities and will also have an area where volunteers can create their own accotmt and track their volunteer history. It also allows organizations to track and report their volunteers (how many hours, how many volunteers, demographics, etc). In addition, part of the money includes the development of a state level portal that will allow us to take all the individuals using HandsOn Connect at the local level and roll it up to the state level for the purpose of reporting data and opportunity. It will be important to move as many volunteer connector organizations as possible to use this technology. B. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Commissioner Roundtable with Patrick Corvington- Ms. VanDam shared that the Detroit News ran an editorial by Patrick Corvington on National Service. Commissioners also received a copy of the notes from the Commissioner Round Table Discussion with Patrick Corvington. It was a productive conversation with discussion around if he is going to deliver on the strategic plan that will be unveiled this fall, he needs State Commissions to help him to be able to do that and how we can help him do that. 2. FY 11 Funding- Ms. VanDam stated that we are still operating under a Continuing Resolution. If this continues for the full fiscal year it potentially means a cut for the MCSC because that will mean no expansion of AmeriCorps. There may be a little flexibility in terms of competitive funding but funding will remain flat for formula funding. We hope this won't be the case as we leverage this additional funding from W.K. Kellogg Fmmdation in hopes of bringing in 100 more AmeriCorps members for Michigan we need to make sure that federal resources are going to be available so that we will be able to do this. 3. CNCS Update- Evan Albert explained that operating under a Continuing Resolution and not knowing what our budget will be has been challenging. For example, we received 125-130 AmeriCorps*VISTA applications for a November training and due to the uncertainty of FY 11 funding, we were only able to send 4 �84 to training. We are hoping to place the additional 30-40 people later this year but have to wait to see what the budget brings. He discussed the CNCS strategic plan process and shared that the CNCS put together a comprehensive summary outlining the highlights and interesting components and feedback that came out of the community dialogues . The will be identifying strategic goals and practical strategies to achieve those goals. C. Program Updates 1. Ameri Corps Update a. Michigan National Service Solutions Fund- Commissioner Collier explained that Patrick Corvington attended the CMF Annual Conference in October and annOtmced the creation of the Michigan' s National Service Solutions Fund. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has agreed to provide the funding for match funding for 100 new AmeriCorps slots in Michigan which is the start of this new fund ($250,000). The funds would be housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation. As resources grow nationally for National Service, particularly AmeriCorps, in order for Michigan to continue to leverage more and new slots, we would need to tap the foundation community because the nonprofit sector does not have the resources to leverage that kind of growth and expansion due to the match fund requirement. But knowing that it' s not just AmeriCorps resources that could be growing over time, we didn't want this to be the AmeriCorps match fund . Thus we named it the National Service Solutions Fund to give us the flexibility, depending on the funders' interest and the opportunities at the federal level, in how we approach the philanthropic community to help leverage the national service resources. This first initial year the focus will be on AmeriCorps because we have the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funding, but it will be important for the Commission to yearly assess the landscape nationally and with the philanthropic community to decide what the focus and priorities of the fund will be. The MCSC will serve as the administrative agent and will not create a separate advisory committee. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the creation of the Michigan's National Service Solutions Fund. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the creation of the Fund; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Algra abstained due to conflict of interest. b. Program Update- Ms. VanDam explained that the AmeriCorps staff is working on the 2011-2012 application process and the MCSC has received intent to apply forms from 23 organizations. Of those interested organizations, 18 submitted applications. The applications have been reviewed by staff and 12 have been recommended to move forward to develop comprehensive applications. In additional to those 12 we have a couple of others that are going to come in because as we looked at the landscape of the applicants and looked at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation money, we needed to cultivate some additional applications. Moving forward with the creation of the National Service Solutions Fund, we are going to have the traditional 5 �process for recruiting AmeriCorps applications and then have others that will be on an alternative timeline to meet the interest and needs of the funders. The ARRA funding is coming to an end and there were some great accomplishments from this additional funding, which were distributed to Commissioners. These accomplishments show the impact these 300 members had and is a great story to tell. The AmeriCorps Member Celebration is taking place today with 600 AmeriCorps members taking part in the day of orientation, training and teambuilding. The CNCS hosted their annual National Grants and Financial Management Institute in Dearborn this week. There were about 350 from across the country here including 50 from State Commissions. We required each of our AmeriCorps programs to send someone from their organization to attend. Ford was kind enough to sponsor a reception for State Service Commission staff and CNCS staff. It was a nice opportunity to bring the staff together to network. 2. Learn and Serve Update- We have a number of new planning grantees this year so Angelia has been busy working with them to get them the resources they need. In addition to direct support with Angelia, we have contracted with two alum grantees who are serving as coaches during this planning phase. We are moving forward with our statewide evaluation around the impact service-learning is having on both civic and educational outcomes. The Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC) will be meeting soon. This is a group of22 students who are chosen from our grantees who come together to learn how to become advocates and champions of service-learning. 3. Mentor Michigan- Thanks to Kari Pardoe, we have an exciting opportunity with the Detroit Pistons. They will be hosting three community nights this year and would like mentoring to be one of those nights. January 22 will be "Mentoring Night at the Palace" and we will be inviting many of the mentoring programs from across the state to participate. There will be PSA' s shown, on-court recognition, and signage throughout the Palace that will all recognize mentors, mentees, and Mentor Michigan. In addition, for every ticket sold through a special website, $5 will be donated back to Mentor Michigan which will then be granted out in the form of Detroit Pistons mini-grants. This is a great fundraising opportunity on top of a great public awareness about mentoring and the need for more mentors. Mentor Michigan is awarding $15 ,000 in mini-grants to support Michigan Mentoring Month activities in January. These fimds were raised through the Meijer Gift Card promotion over Father' s Day weekend. The Wave VIII Census is complete with 137 programs completing the census, which is less than last year. Preliminary results show that these programs are serving 23 ,000 youth and that is down from 28,000 last year. We are seeing the impact of budget declines in terms of the number of youth being served and the number of matches the programs can support. We will share the full results of the Census at the January board meeting but wanted to share that there is a decline in the numbers due to the budgetary reductions. The Mentor Michigan College Coaching Corps AmeriCorps Program has enrolled 45 AmeriCorps members. The goal is to have 40 AmeriCorps members serving through mentoring organizations and 10 AmeriCorps members serving through higher education campuses. Their focus 6 �will be on college access and how to begin to have the college conversation with kids, specifically through the mentoring relationship, and how we create more resources to do that. More than 200 mentoring professionals attended the 5111 Annual Michigan' s Premier Mentoring Conference which took place on November 17. In addition we had a pre-conference the day before where one of the leading evaluation experts, David DuBois, worked with a smaller group of programs around research and evaluation. Also last month, Mentor Michigan convened about 40 mentoring organizations from the tri-county area (Wayne, Oakland and Macomb) to discuss their challenges and begin discussions on the Mentor Detroit Mentoring Council. We are soliciting nominations for this Council through December 3. This council will be made up of men to ring professionals, community leaders, and philanthropic leaders. D. Cross-Stream - Michigan's National Service Cross-Stream Conference took place on October 12-13 in Detroit. Patrick Corvington, CEO ofCNCS, and Steve Culbertson, President and CEO of Youth Service America, were keynote speakers. More than 160 national service program staff attended. We received positive feedback from the attendees on the conference. Commissioner Betley commended the MCSC staff on their great effort for planning the conference. E. Financial Report- Ms. VanDam updated Commissioners on the FY 10 Financial Statement which shows that we spent all but $191 of our allocated $662,100 of State General Funds. Because Garry was activated to Military Duty, there were some State General Funds that were going to be un-allocated so we transferred those funds to cover Amber Troupe's salary instead of using the Private Funds. We do need to spend some time discussing whether we should ask for some incremental increases and what those should be. The staff will work on identifying those figures and share them. F. Cities of Service Update - Barb Patton gave an update on Detroit Cities of Service. The Detroit Service Action Plan was distributed to Commissioners. The three key areas are public safety, neighborhood restoration, and education/literacy. Public safety initiatives include matching high areas of crime with neighborhood watch groups and CB Radio control and providing safe haven for children going to and from school. Neighborhood restoration includes blight elimination and urban tree planning. They will work with neighborhoods to transfom1 vacant parcels of land into gardens and will be planting 5,000 trees this spring. They will address the literacy issue for both adults and children and will be engaging volunteers for the DPS Reading Corps and Detroit Reads! Programs. They will also work on increasing the youth engagement in volunteer service by promoting service as a core responsibility of all youth in Detroit. They have a new website to track volunteer opportunities : www.volunteer.detroitmi.gov. They have three AmeriCorps*VISTA members serving this year with two members in the neighborhood restoration program and one in the public safety area. Ms. VanDam shared that she recently had a conference call with Kalamazoo Mayor Bobby Hopewell, who is the newest mayor to sign on to the Cities of Service initiative. He also invited the Chris Sizemore, the director of the Volunteer Center in 7 �Kalamazoo, to participate in the call. We will keep working to engage the other four mayors in Michigan that have signed on and to encourage them to develop their own action plans for their communities. G. Partner Update- Kyle Caldwell (MNA) shared that they are working to retool the Nonprofit Caucus that we launched last year due to the turnover of legislators. The public policy area will have an aggressive agenda on government reform and how nonprofits and governments work together. The Public Policy Committee is working on several pieces of legislation including the Youth Worker Permit Bill which will eliminate permits for youth that vohmteer and a bill that addresses the tax for nonprofit fundraising proceeds. Ms. VanDam also explained that they are working at the national level to pass a bill that will eliminate the tax on the education award that AmeriCorps members pay when they use the award. Renee Zientek (MCC) stated that they will be using the CMA/MNA funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to measure how statewide infrastructure voltmteer efforts are working. They will work with their collaboratives, Michigan Campus Compact members, and the Volunteer Michigan grantees to gather this information. Diana Algra (VCM) shared they are excited with the new HandsOn Connect technology and will work to train their volunteer centers to use the technology. CMA Endowment Update- Commissioner Collier gave an update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Fund. Given the recent challenges with the MCSC General Fund budget, the question was asked as to whether the CMA Endowment Fund could be helpful. A subcommittee was convened to identify the intent of the donors and the nmd. There were three key points that carne out of this discussion: 1. The CMA Endowment Fund should not take the place of the State's general fund and their investment to support volunteerism. 2. We recognize the value of the public/private partnership and make sure that the Commission has representatives in the annual review process of the endowment to make sure their public/private efforts are supported. 3. MNA will serve as an advocate for the MCSC through public policy efforts. VI. Public Comment- None VII.

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

Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Background The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was awarded $486,913 from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) through the Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF). The purpose of the funding is to grant to volunteer connectors in Michigan to enhance the volunteer infrastructure and capacity of non-profit organizations to more strategically and effectively engage volunteers. The funding will support Volunteer Michigan, a 3-year initiative to increase the number of volunteers addressing health and public safety issues in local communities and statewide. Volunteer Michigan will allow communities to create collaborative models for using service as a strategy to meet critical needs. Efforts will suppoti, build, and expand the capacity of existing volunteer connectors and cultivate connector access for underserved communities. Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center lor Independent Living Ella Kate Wagner Student- Michigan State University Larry Williamson Corneas/ Cable Volunteer connectors are organizations whose mission is directly related to connecting individuals with volunteer opportunities. Volunteer connectors typically connect volunteers with other community organizations (organizations other than the volunteer connector agency itself). Volunteer connectors also support organizations and professional volunteer coordinators in effectively using those volunteers to create meaningful change in local communities. For example, volunteer centers and retired and senior volunteer programs are prototypical volunteer connector organizations. �The MCSC conducted its own notice of funds available and application process to encourage volunteer connector organizations to submit proposals. The MCSC received letters of intent to apply from 17 volunteer connector organizations. Of these, ten volunteer connector organizations submitted full applications. The MCSC conducted a thorough grant review process that included four staff as well as four external reviewers. As a result of the review process, 7 out of the 10 submitted applications are being recommended for funding (see staff recommendations for Volunteer Michigan funding table below). The three applications that are not being recommended for funding are: Hands On Battle Creek, Volunteer Washtenaw, and the Great Lakes Center for Youth Development. Reviewers determined that there were serious concerns with these three applications related to the content not aligning with the stated Volunteer Michigan goals and objectives. In addition, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA)Nolunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM), is a valued and important partner in Volunteer Michigan and will oversee the extensive training and technical assistance associated with this initiative. This includes evaluation, development of materials, and playing a key role in the development and implementation ofHandsOn Connect, a fulllifecycle volunteer management platform that will enable volunteer connectors to recruit, manage and track volunteer engagement. The staff recommends funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant Allegan County United Way and Volunteer Center Resource Genesee United Way of Ionia County, Volunteer Connections Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan Volunteer Lenawee Volunteer Muskegon TOTAL Funding Recommended $49,000 $47,713 $30,000 $40,000 $44,919 $48,000 $39,634 $299,266 The staff recommends funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Legal Applicant MI Nonprofit Association/Volunteer Centers ofMI Funding Recommended $145,957 �GRANTEE: Allegan County United Way & Volunteer Center (Allegan, MI/Allegan County) ISSUE AREA: Health - Access to FREE Comprehensive Health Care Services SUMiVIARY: The Allegan County United Way and Volunteer Center (ACUW), the volunteer connector for Allegan County, is proposing to significantly increase the number of highly-skilled volunteer health care professionals providing pro bono care through the creation of a Volunteer Medical Corps, but also increase the capacity of the collaborative partners to recruit, train, and manage their increased voltmteer base. This Volunteer Medical Corps may include currently practicing physicians, nurses, physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, retired medical personnel, interns, residents, teaching faculty, and medical, dental and nursing students. Non professional volunteers will also be recruited and trained to provide support services such as health, wellness and nutrition education, administrative, patient advocacy, transportation, and translation services. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: • Implement volunteer management plans with each of our partners • Build competency in the use of volunteer management tools • Utilize the rich community resource of volunteers to positively impact access to free health care • Engage a total of 450-500 volunteer support personnel by hosting two Free Health Clinic days during 2 National Days of Service • At least 100 of these volunteers will be retained to serve as permanent Volunteer Medical Corps members with existing healthcare agency as volunteers providing free care on an ongoing basis, as well as participating in future episodic service events • Obtain at least a one-year commitment on the part of the 35-50 new highly skilled professional volunteers COLLABORATIVE ORGANIZATIONS: The key collaborative partners working with ACUW on this project include: • Allegan General Hospital (AGH); • Allegan County Health Department (ACHD); • Community Mental Health (CMH); • Michigan State University Extension Service-Allegan County (MSU-ext); and • Pathways Michigan- Allegan 3 �GRANTEE: Resource Genesee I Flint, MI (Genesee County) ISSUE AREA: Health - Food Stability SUMMARY: Residents of Genesee County and Flint, Michigan are struggling with a food crisis. Therefore their collaborative has chosen to address the issue of health, working to strengthen the efforts ofkey partners striving to provide more food and healthier food to the needy through our largest soup kitchen, area food bank and quickly growing community gardens initiative with support coming from their RSVP program and the volunteer connector, Resource Genesee. Their goal is to impact the community by ensuring that the North End Soup Kitchen's services, expanded in 2010, are sustained and to help more Genesee County residents connect to community gardens where they will learn modem gardening techniques and how to prepare fresh vegetables. In an effort to meet the need for fresh fruits and vegetables a loosely organized coalition of individuals and institutions dedicated to creating and sustaining community gardens emerged as Edible Flint. To date, Edible Flint has knowledge of 180 non-residential community gardens on public land or land owned by the Genesee County Land Banlc Edible Flint, which has garnered national and international attention as the future of the urban agriculture movement, is supported by the Ruth Mort Foundation with funds and personnel and is a major partner in this work. GOALS/OBJECTIVES: • Implement volunteer management plans with our partner agencies; • Build competency in volunteer management tools especially the use of Hands On Connect software with our 6 collaborative agencies and at least 20 additional nonprofits; • Evaluate the relationship between community gardens and our food bank and soup kitchen; • Increase the fresh produce grown by Edible Flint and donated to these feeding stations; • Place 5-l 0 RSVP volunteers in our collaborative agencies; • Increase new volunteers, retention of volunteers, use of skilled volunteers in these food programs and expanded participation in national days of service in accordance with the grant. • Train Flint Corps members (the collaborative volunteer outreach of the University of MichiganFlint, Mott Community College, Kettering University and Baker College) to use and adopt HandsOn Connect as their volunteer software. COLLABORATIVE ORGANIZATIONS: The five key collaborative organizations are: • Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, • North End Soup Kitchen, • Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, • Ruth Mott Foundation, and • MSU Extension (Ruth Mott and MSU Extension being the gateways to the Edible Flint collaborative) SPECIAL CONNECTIONS: Flint City of Service initiative Higher Education • Mott Community College • University ofMichigan-Flint • Baker College • Kettering U ni versi ty National Service Partners • RSVP 4 �GRANTEE: United Way oflonia- Volunteer Connections (Ionia, MI/Ionia County) ISSUE AREA: Health- Food Stability SUMMARY: Our focus on food stability will come from the support and expansion of Community Gardens as a way to engage community members in solving the issues of hunger and poor nutrition. We will work with garden and community leaders to connect them with groups of volunteers to support each specific garden. We will also assist the gardens in developing a structure to communicate volunteer needs and instructions to the groups of volunteers that provide periodic support. Additionally, we recognize some other needs to build food stability and plan to engage volunteers in teaching the skills of cooking, canning, and preserving to people who want to learn to stretch their food dollars. Volunteer Connections will work with each organization to build skills and teach best practices that will increase their capacity to engage and manage volunteers. We will include training on social media marketing, recruitment, and retention of volunteers. Additionally, we will work with all interested partners to carry out combined volunteer recruitment activities, especially through increased web presence and social marketing. GOALS/OBJECTIVES: • • • • • • • • • Implement volunteer management plans. Build competency in volunteer management tools. Utilize the rich community resource of volunteers to positively impact food stability. Support 17 gardens in the two-county area with at least 15 new volunteers each for a total of 255 volunteers. In 2009, seven community gardens in Ionia County produced over 29,000 pounds of food that was distributed through the Food Pantry Network. The goal will be to double (58,000 pounds) the amount of fresh produce delivered to our Food Pantries. Organize volunteers around National Days of Service: Global Youth Service Day and 9-11 Day of Service. We expect to engage at least 20 volunteers for each of our estimated 17 gardens and at least 10 volunteers for each of the 17 gardens during 9-11 Day of Service for a total of 510 volunteers. Increase the involvement of Master Gardener volunteers in both counties to assist in planning, garden preparation, and planting through strengthened relationships with MSU-Extension.

When asked, neighborhood association leaders identified a need for a comprehensive approach to dealing with safety issues in their neighborhoods. Safety issues fell into one of three categories: neighborhood policing, personal safety, and environmental hazards. Kalamazoo Public Safety (KPS) has made huge strides in changing neighborhoods and preventing crime through improving home safety and thus neighborhood safety. As each home is improved, neighbors take notice and take better care of their own home. Crime prevention through "spmced up" neighborhoods has been shown to work in Kalamazoo. It is a unique crime prevention strategy through environmental design. This includes appropriate landscaping, designed to deter criminals and adding lighting in strategic areas to ensure neighborhood safety. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: • Implement volunteer management plans with our key partners so that 250 new volunteers are engage in public safety. • Build competency of our key partners in the use of volunteer management tools so that 75 of the new volunteers are retained and 25 skilled volunteers opportunities are developed and placed within our network. • Implement crime prevention strategies through environmental design, e.g., correcting landscaping that prevents visibility of home entry points, repairing broken windows and doors, assisting residents with replacement of alarm batteries and light bulbs, and more. • Group clean-up projects in public parks and service areas that pose personal risk and/or environmental threats. • Develop safety education programs that target neighborhood residents and provide information related to individual safety, e.g. wearing helmets when biking, safe walking routes, reporting suspicious activities, and more. • Undertake the recmitrnent and placement of 500 community volunteers during 2 National Days of Service that will address safety issues. COLLABORATIVE ORGANIZATIONS: The Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo, as the Volunteer Connector organization, is partnering with the following five local organizations to attack the issue of neighborhood safety: • Kalamazoo Public Safety • Eastside Neighborhood Association • Edison Neighborhood Association • Senior Services, Inc. • Oakwood Neighborhood Association SPECIAL CONNECTION: • Kalamazoo's City of Service initiative • Higher Education Connection with Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Kalamazoo College • VISTA project 6 �GRANTEE: Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan (Niles, MI/Cass, Berrien & Van Buren Counties) ISSUE AREA: Health - Childhood Obesity SUMMARY: The Health Department and the Healthy BeiTien Consortium established the We Can Berrien Initiative to address the critical community issue of childhood obesity.

You may recall that I sent yo u a ro ugh draft immediately follo wi ng the MCSC meeting in November. In this I am suggesting a few new strategies that may or may not work for what you want so please feel free to give your feedback. I. Establishing a presence and responsibility within the leadership structure of MCSC to liaison with the Governor and Legislature in the form of a "Public Policy" or "Government Relations" committee. This wo uld give a responsibi li ty for good relations with the Governor, Legislature and the federal government within the work of the Commissioners and take some of the heavy and awkward lifting off the staff. I am not sure how this fits with your needs to be included in the State of the State or the leve l you want in the DHS Budget for this year. 2. Development ofROI materials that lay out the benefits of the state, federal as well as private funds invested in national service in Michigan. Similar to the materials currently developed, these would target why policy makers and philanthropy can and should invest. 3. Publish a website/social media space for champions of national service in Michigan to use. It may be building on the Fast Facts piece that would highlight the current investments, give grantees and partners the opportunity to post endorsements of national service, and give regional impact or grantee maps so that officials can see where national service exists in their districts. Much of this already exists on your site, your Facebook profile, etc. but I wonder if the Anniversary cou ld have a unique presence that leverages all of the content around celebration of MCSC and the public and private investments. As we move forward, MNA, through our Civic Engagement team, can look at existing events we host to find ways to celebrate the 20th of MCSC and I know you, Renee, and Diana are talking about Giving and Volunteering Day and what it shou ld emphasize. Let me know if this framework is helpful or as point on the Advocacy team, you want me to go in a different direction. Also, could Janice send me the names and contacts for the Commissioners I should be working with on this? I won't send out anything until you give the OK of the plans, but I did want to send out a note to the Commiss ioners thanking them for volunteering and setting up some times to meet over the phone for our planning. Thanks. Kyle � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ford Motor Company Joseph Lubig Northern Michigan University Kathleen Maisner Retired Public School Teacher The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Jim Vella, Rob Collier, Russ Mawby, and Bernard Parker. Staff present: Paula Kaiser VanDam, Steve Springer, and Janice Harvey. Russell Mawby Chair Emeritus W. K. Kellogg Foundation Daniel G. Mulhern Chair Emeritus First Gentleman Donna Niester James C. Acheson Foundation Acheson Ventures Bernard Parker Wayne County Commissioner Marsha Smith Rotary Charities of Traverse City Joseph Sowmick Transition Maura Corrigan was named the new DHS Director. A meeting should be scheduled with Maura Corrigan, Jim Vella, Rob Collier and Paula Kaiser VanDam to introduce her to the MCSC and share the relationship between MCSC and DHS. It will also be important to educate the new leadership in the State Legislature and the new members of Congress about the MCSC. We will engage Commissioners and local programs to schedule visits with these legislators to share the importance of the State investment to support the work of the MCSC. Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Alphonso Swain Capitol Area Center for Independent Uving Jerry Swartz Lansing Schools Education Association Ella Kate Wagner Student- Michigan State University Larry Williamson Comcast Cable Russ Mawby met with Representative Jase Bolger, the new Speaker of the House, and shared the important role of the nonprofit sector. He shared his view that there are three sectors and it is important that these three sectors address issues at the community level: �1. Economic - for-profit business 2. Government- public sector 3. Nonprofit- 5 different elements: MNA, CMF, Center on Philanthropy (GVSU), MCSC, and the Office of Foundation Liaison. He also stated that it has been tradition that the First Spouse has served as Chair of the MCSC. Russ offered to follow up with Speaker Bolger at a later date if needed. There was discussion about the future Chair of the MCSC. Commissioners are unsure that Mrs. Snyder will agree to serve as Chair and that it may be more appropriate to ask her to serve as Honorary Chair. But this ask should wait for another month or two until her and Governor settle into their new positions. They also suggested that we need to have a list of other possible candidates to approach. That list currently consists of Lt. Governor Brian Calley and Sharon Rothwell , a member of Governor Snyder' s transition team and also former Chief of Staff to Governor John Engler. This list will be presented at the MCSC Board Meeting for further discussion. Commissioner Collier is also going to schedule a meeting with the new budget director, John Nixon, to discuss the public/private partnership. Outreach to legislators, specifically those on the DHS Appropriations Committee, will begin in February. It will be important to share the mission of the MCSC and the impact service and volunteerism is having in their communities. National Service Solutions Fund Ms. VanDam is working to finalize the application to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The MCSC is finalizing the list of AmeriCorps Competitive applications to determine which will be the best fit for the National Service Solution Fund's priorities. She will work with Dennis Fliehman, Capital Region Community Foundation, to establish the fund. MCSC Board Meeting Agenda Executive Committee members approved the board meeting agenda with a request to spend some time discussing the budget process and the importance of Commissioners advocating for the MCSC budget to their local legislators.

Stanton Township Schools and Chassell Township Schools continue to improve the quality of their service-learning activities and pursue strategies that will help them sustain their service-learning efforts beyond the Learn and Serve- Michigan funding. The Public Schools of Calumet, Laurium and Keweenaw, in its first planning year, has identified a strong leadership team and has clear steps in place. Their strong understanding of where service-learning can fit in their district, as well as the support from the service-learning community in Copper Country, has provided them a strong start to their planning year. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's (NOAA) Grant The Learn and Serve- Michigan team is partnering with a national nonprofit called Earth Force to create a funding request to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's (NOAA) Environmental Literacy Grant program. We are requesting $1 ,498,000 to be used over the three-year grant cycle. The grant will allow us to increase our service-learning supports relating to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and to provide intensive training for current and future educators who will use available NOAA data as they engage students in service-learning benefiting the Great Lakes. Our concept paper received positive feedback and the full proposal was submitted on January 12. Service-Learning Youth Council Members ofthe Service-Learning Youth Council (SLYC) participated in a two-day retreat in Lansing in December. The 23 members were nominated by their local Learn and Serve coordinators to SLYC for the 2010-2011 school year. Over the course of the year the SL YC members will promote youth service and service-learning through presentations and social media. They will also develop and participate in projects for Global Youth Service Day. During their retreat, the members identified community issues and began developing service-projects to address those issues. Twenty of the members were able to attend the retreat, where they participated in a range of teambuilding and leadership development activities. The members also practiced creating videos to promote service and drafted blogs that will be posted to the Learn and Serve Michigan's Resource Blog at http://learnaridservemi.blogspot.com/. The SL YC members were also given the opportunity to start drafting an application for the 2011 GYSD Michigan mini-grants. Funding for FYll-12 The Learn and Serve team begins outreach for 2011-2012 programs in January. Funding is available for up to four new planning grantees this year. The guidelines will be distributed to superintendants across the state but we will be doing additional outreach in Lansing, Kalamazoo, Muskegon, and Ann Arbor. Planning grants range from $6,000 to $10,000 in the first year. Grants to improve and grow service-learning district-wide are renewable for a total of six years. �Service-Learning Sustainability Symposium The bi-annual Service-Learning Sustainability Symposium is scheduled for February 9-10, 2011 at Shanty Creek Resort. The two-day event provides school district teams with training on critical elements of program institutionalization and allows much needed time to articulate their vision for their programs and to develop the key steps they need to take to get there. The KIDS Consortium from Maine will facilitate this session. Global Youth Service Day Again this year, the Michigan Community Service Commission and Learn and Serve- Michigan is serving as a Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) Lead Agency. The 201 1 GYSD is April15, 16, and 17. Efforts of Lead Agencies include mass promotion of the youth-service opportunity, development of a statewide coalition of partners, support of locally-developed projects, and tracking of the impact of said projects. This year we are also proud to be partnering with The LEAGUE Michigan to offer $11,000 in mini-grants to support local2011 GYSD projects. The guidelines and application for this funding opportunity were just made public and are due by February 28 . These funds were made possible thanks to Youth Service America. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He has been matched since 1997 (when he was just four-years-old) with his mentor, Roy Smyth, through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint. As a result, Roy is a very big part of Jesse's life and has become more than just a "Big Brother." Roy has helped instill the importance of school and giving back in Jesse and afforded him various opportunities to participate in local activities. His mentor has also taught him the value of making good decisions and building strong relationships. Upon graduation next year, Jesse would like to join the Navy and perhaps someday become a police officer.

They are listed below. Select best season/date for final event- Event should be in fall 2011. This will give ample prep time to have event. Event should be combined with Governor's Service Awards so that fundraising will be for one event. There should also be a MCSC Commissioner alumni gathering hosted by the 4 chairs (Michelle Engler, Russ Mawby, Dan Mulhern, Jim Vella). Activities celebrating the anniversary will take place fall 2011 through fall 2012. Janice will identify the creation and bill signing date. Need to identify a theme. Governor-Elect theme is "Re-Inventing Michigan". Could work something around that. Next Steps- committee will meet again on December gth and will continue to meet monthly. It was also suggested that due to MCSC staff capacity, a loaned executive should be hired to lead the effort of the 20th Anniversary activities. Fundraising will be discussed to cover the cost of the loaned executive. It was suggested that $40,000 would be needed to cover the cost. There is currently $17,000 in GSA proceeds that were approved to use for 20th Anniversary expenses that could be used towards this cost. Rob, Janet and Paula will have a discussion about fundraising for the event and the loaned executive. 6 Development Pillars Each Pillar will identify Who, What, Where, When, and How to measure 1.

You may recall that I sent you a rough draft immedi ate ly following the MCSC meeting in November. In this I am suggesting a few new strategies that may or may not work for what you want so please feel free to g ive your feedback . I. Establishing a presence and responsibility within the leadership structure of MCSC to liaison with the Governor and Legislature in the form of a "Public Policy" or "Government Relations" committee. This would give a responsibility for good relations with the Governor, Legislature and the federal government within the work of the Commissioners and take some of the heavy and awkward lifting off the staff. I am not sure how this fits with your needs to be included in the State of the State or the level you want in the DHS Budget for this year. 2. Development of ROI materials that lay out the benefits of the state , federal as well as private funds in vested in national serv ice in Michigan. Similar to the materials currently developed , these would target why policy makers and philanthropy can and should invest. 3. Publish a website/soc ial media space for champ ions of national service in Michigan to use. It may be building on the Fast Facts piece that wou ld highlight the current investments, give grantees and partners the opportunity to post endorsements of national service, and give regional impact or grantee maps so that officials can see where national service exists in their districts . Much of this already exists on your site, your Facebook profile, etc. but I wonder if the Anniversary cou ld have a unique presence that leverages a ll of the content around celebration of MCSC and the public and private investments. As we move forward, M t A, through our Civic Engagement team, can look at existing events we host to find ways to celebrate the 20th ofMCSC and I know you, Renee, and Diana are talking about Giving and Volunteeri ng Day and what it should emphasize. Let me know if this framework is helpful or as point on the Advocacy team, you want me to go in a different direction . Also, could Janice send me the names and contacts for the Commi ssioners I shou ld be work ing with on thi s? I won't send out anything until you give the OK of the plans, but I did want to send out a note to the Commissioners thanking them for volunteering and setting up some times to meet over the phone for our planning. Thanks.

Welcome and Introduction - Chair Jim Vella The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:35 p.m. by Chair Jim Vella. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval of September 29,2010 Minutes- Chair Jim Vella Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 29, 2010 board meeting. Commissioner Algra moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Niester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from November 8, 2010 meetings. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. MCSC 20th Anniversary Committee- Commissioner Lawson shared that the Committee met for the first time today and gave an overview of the meeting. We will begin to celebrate the 20th Anniversary in November of2011 which will be close to the original "birthdate" of the Commission along with coinciding with other large MCSC events (AmeriCorps Member Celebration, Mentoring Conference, and Governor's Service Awards). It also gives us a period of time to plan for the events. We have created pillars to help plan for the celebration and to move the work of the Commission forward . Those pillars are teach, advocate, record and share, celebrate, develop media presence, and develop resources. Each of the Commissioners will be asked to be part of a team that represents one of these pillars. We will also reach out to former Commissioners and other external friends of the Commission to be part of the planning. Each of the pillars contains deliverables, timelines, and key leadership. The Governor's Service Awards will be moved to November 2011 and will be joined with the 20th Anniversary celebration so we will only need to fundraise for one event. Once the pillars are in place with their deliverables (ex: packets of information, developed resources, etc), we will be able to move forward so that our 20th anniversary isn'tjust one event but we have created a full packet and we can maintain that presence throughout the state now that we ' ve identified who we are and we've educated. There will also be an alumni event to reconnect with former Commissioners to discuss where we've been and where we need to go. Commissioner Lawson also suggested that the MCSC hires a part time project manager (at a cost of approximately $40,000) to carry out the work of the 20th Anniversary planning and activities as it is going to take a lot of work and the MCSC staff does not have the capacity at this time. Commissioners will fundraise to support this position. Ms. VanDam stated that we have allocated $20,000 from GSA proceeds to support 20 1h Anniversary activities. Those funds could be used to support this position. IV. New Business A. Transition- Chair Vella shared that he recently sent a letter to Governor-Elect Snyder introducing him to the Commission. With the change of administration, this is a great opportunity for the MCSC to tell our story. We have a great story to tell of what the 2 �MCSC is able to do and the resources we bring into the State. Ms. VanDam explained that we are in the education part of our transition strategy and will continue to push our message. In addition to what we are doing in Michigan, Patrick Corvington sent a letter to all newly elected Governors talking about the Commission and the important roles Commissions play. Also, the Association of State Commissions (ASC) has been working to get current Republican Governors to go on record about National Service and the work of State Commissions to introduce new Governors to this work. Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour will be sending out a letter to all new Governors introducing them to State Service Commissions. Commissioner Collier also added that his conversations with the transition team have been very positive. He also said it will be important to educate the new members of Congress about National Service and the MCSC. If Commissioners have any relationships within their new offices they should try to meet with them and educate them about the MCSC. Chairman Vella shared that as a Commissioner, it is our job to advocate for the MCSC. He also shared that we have reached out to Mrs. Snyder but have been advised that she is not taking an active role in the administration so we should wait on our ask that she serve as Chair. Commissioner Collier stated that it will be important to educate the State Legislators as there will be a large turnover there too. V. Executive Director Report- Paula VanDam A. Volunteer Generation Fund- Ms. VanDam gave background on the VGF. The MCSC received $486,913 to increase the capacity of volunteer connectors in Michigan to enhance the volunteer infrastructure and capacity of nonprofit organizations to more effectively engage volunteers. The MCSC will fund and support seven voltmteer connectors that will collaborate and partner with five organizations in their community around a public health or public safety issue. These organizations will demonstrate using service as a strategy to address one of these two issues. The staff recommends funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: Allegan County United Way and Volunteer Center $49,000 Resource Genesee $4 7,713 $30,000 United Way oflonia County, Volunteer Connections Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo $40,000 Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan $44,919 Volunteer Lenawee $48,000 Volunteer Muskegon $39,634 In addition to this recommendation, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) has been an important partner in Volunteer Michigan and the MCSC will contract with them to play key roles around training and technical assistance. They will help provide ongoing support in developing new trainings around engaging highly skilled volunteers and volunteers from certain demographics. This includes evaluation, development of materials, and playing a role in the implementation of new technology that the seven grantees will use to help better match volunteers called HandsOn Connect. The staff recommends funding in the amount of$145,957 to Michigan Nonprofit Association/Volunteer Centers of Michigan to support this. 3 �Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for funding for the Volunteer Generation Fund. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the recommendations; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Algra abstained due to conflict of interest. Ms. VanDam explained that is a three-year grant so we will work with these communities to develop sustainable infrastructure in these communities but there may be an opportunity to leverage more money if the national funding grows and we will bring on new communities. In addition, MNA and the ConnectMichigan Alliance partners have received funding from W.K. Kellogg Foundation in the past to demonstrate the power of the ConnectMichigan Alliance at the local level. They are contributing some money so that we can stretch our dollars through the VGF and will be offering mini-grants to afford the HandsOn Connect technology for more volunteer c01mectors across the state. So the volunteer connector may not be one of the seven initial grantees, many of them will still be able to benefit from the VGF opportunity through these mini-grants. HandsOn Connect technology will allow volunteer centers to post volunteer opportunities in their communities and will also have an area where volunteers can create their own account and track their volunteer history. It also allows organizations to track and report their volunteers (how many hours, how many volunteers, demographics, etc). In addition, part of the money includes the development of a state level portal that will allow us to take all the individuals using HandsOn Connect at the local level and roll it up to the state level for the purpose of reporting data and opportunity. It will be important to move as many volunteer connector organizations as possible to use this technology. B. CNCS/National Service Update 1. Commissioner Roundtable with Patrick Corvington - Ms. VanDam shared that the Detroit News ran an editorial by Patrick Corvington on National Service. Commissioners also received a copy of the notes from the Commissioner Round Table Discussion with Patrick Corvington. It was a productive conversation with discussion around if he is going to deliver on the strategic plan that will be unveiled this fall , he needs State Commissions to help him to be able to do that and how we can help him do that. 2. FY 11 Funding- Ms. VanDam stated that we are still operating under a Continuing Resolution. If this continues for the full fiscal year it potentially means a cut for the MCSC because that will mean no expansion of AmeriCorps. There may be a little flexibility in terms of competitive funding but funding will remain flat for formula funding. We hope this won' t be the case as we leverage this additional funding from W.K. Kellogg Foundation in hopes of bringing in 100 more AmeriCorps members for Michigan we need to make sure that federal resources are going to be available so that we will be able to do this. 3. CNCS Update- Evan Albert explained that operating under a Continuing Resolution and not knowing what our budget will be has been challenging. For example, we received 125-130 AmeriCorps*VISTA applications for a November training and due to the uncertainty ofFY 11 funding, we were only able to send 4 �84 to training. We are hoping to place the additional 30-40 people later this year but have to wait to see what the budget brings. He discussed the CNCS strategic plan process and shared that the CNCS put together a comprehensive summary outlining the highlights and interesting components and feedback that came out of the community dialogues. The will be identifying strategic goals and practical strategies to achieve those goals. C. Program Updates 1. AmeriCorps Update a. Michigan National Service Solutions Fund- Commissioner Collier explained that Patrick Corvington attended the CMF Annual Conference in October and announced the creation of the Michigan's National Service Solutions Fund. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has agreed to provide the funding for match funding for 100 new Ameri Corps slots in Michigan which is the start of this new fund ($250,000). The funds would be housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation. As resources grow nationally for National Service, particularly ArneriCorps, in order for Michigan to continue to leverage more and new slots, we would need to tap the foundation community because the nonprofit sector does not have the resources to leverage that kind of growth and expansion due to the match fund requirement. But knowing that it's not just AmeriCorps resources that could be growing over time, we didn' t want this to be the ArneriCorps match fund. Thus we named it the National Service Solutions Fund to give us the flexibility, depending on the funders' interest and the opportunities at the federal level, in how we approach the philanthropic community to help leverage the national service resources. This first initial year the focus will be on ArneriCorps because we have the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funding, but it will be important for the Commission to yearly assess the landscape nationally and with the philanthropic community to decide what the focus and priorities of the fund will be. The MCSC will serve as the administrative agent and will not create a separate advisory committee. Chair Vella asked for a motion to approve the creation of the Michigan's National Service Solutions Fund. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the creation of the Fund; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Algra abstained due to conflict of interest. b. Program Update- Ms. VanDam explained that the AmeriCorps staff is working on the 2011-2012 application process and the MCSC has received intent to apply forms from 23 organizations. Of those interested organizations, 18 submitted applications. The applications have been reviewed by staff and 12 have been recommended to move forward to develop comprehensive applications. In additional to those 12 we have a couple of others that are going to come in because as we looked at the landscape of the applicants and looked at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation money, we needed to cultivate some additional applications. Moving forward with the creation of the National Service Solutions Fund, we are going to have the traditional 5 �process for recruiting AmeriCorps applications and then have others that will be on an alternative timeline to meet the interest and needs of the funders. The ARRA funding is coming to an end and there were some great accomplishments from this additional funding, which were distributed to Commissioners. These accomplishments show the impact these 300 members had and is a great story to tell. The AmeriCorps Member Celebration is taking place today with 600 AmeriCorps members taking pmi in the day of orientation, training and team building. The CNCS hosted their annual National Grants and Financial Management Institute in Dearborn this week. There were about 350 from across the country here including 50 from State Commissions. We required each of our AmeriCorps programs to send someone from their organization to attend. Ford was kind enough to sponsor a reception for State Service Commission staff and CNCS staff. It was a nice opportunity to bring the staff together to network. 2. Learn and Serve Update- We have a number of new planning grantees this year so Angelia has been busy working with them to get them the resources they need. In addition to direct suppmi with Angelia, we have contracted with two alum grantees who are serving as coaches during this planning phase. We are moving forward with our statewide evaluation around the impact service-learning is having on both civic and educational outcomes. The Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC) will be meeting soon. This is a group of22 students who are chosen from our grantees who come together to learn how to become advocates and champions of service-learning. 3. Mentor Michigan -Thanks to Kari Pardoe, we have an exciting opportunity with the Detroit Pistons. They will be hosting three community nights this year and would like mentoring to be one of those nights. January 22 will be "Mentoring Night at the Palace" and we will be inviting many of the mentoring programs from across the state to participate. There will be PSA's shown, on-court recognition, and signage throughout the Palace that will all recognize mentors, mentees, and Mentor Michigan. In addition, for every ticket sold through a special website, $5 will be donated back to Mentor Michigan which will then be granted out in the form of Detroit Pistons mini-grants. This is a great fundraising opportunity on top of a great public awareness about mentoring and the need for more mentors . Mentor Michigan is awarding $15 ,000 in mini-grants to support Michigan Mentoring Month activities in January. These funds were raised through the Meijer Gift Card promotion over Father's Day weekend. The Wave VIII Census is complete with 137 programs completing the census, which is less than last year. Preliminary results show that these programs are serving 23,000 youth and that is down from 28,000 last year. We are seeing the impact of budget declines in terms of the number of youth being served and the number of matches the programs can support. We will share the full results of the Census at the January board meeting but wanted to share that there is a decline in the numbers due to the budgetary reductions. The Mentor Michigan College Coaching Corps AmeriCorps Program has enrolled 45 AmeriCorps members. The goal is to have 40 AmeriCorps members serving through mentoring organizations and 10 AmeriCorps members serving through higher education campuses. Their focus 6 �will be on college access and how to begin to have the college conversation with kids, specifically through the mentoring relationship, and how we create more resources to do that. More than 200 mentoring professionals attended the 5111 Annual Michigan's Premier Mentoring Conference which took place on November 17. In addition we had a pre-conference the day before where one of the leading evaluation experts, David DuBois, worked with a smaller group of programs around research and evaluation. Also last month, Mentor Michigan convened about 40 mentoring organizations from the tri-cmmty area (Wayne, Oakland and Macomb) to discuss their challenges and begin discussions on the Mentor Detroit Mentoring Council. We are soliciting nominations for this Council through December 3. This council will be made up of mentoring professionals, community leaders, and philanthropic leaders. D. Cross-Stream- Michigan's National Service Cross-Stream Conference took place on October 12-13 in Detroit. Patrick Corvington, CEO of CNCS, and Steve Culbertson, President and CEO of Youth Service America, were keynote speakers. More than 160 national service program staff attended. We received positive feedback from the attendees on the conference. Commissioner Betley commended the MCSC staff on their great effort for planning the conference. E. Financial Report- Ms. VanDam updated Commissioners on the FY 10 Financial Statement which shows that we spent all but $191 of our allocated $662,100 of State General Funds. Because Garry was activated to Military Duty, there were some State General Funds that were going to be un-allocated so we transferred those funds to cover Amber Troupe' s salary instead of using the Private Funds. We do need to spend some time discussing whether we should ask for some incremental increases and what those should be. The staff will work on identifying those figures and share them. F. Cities of Service Update- Barb Patton gave an update on Detroit Cities of Service. The Detroit Service Action Plan was distributed to Commissioners. The three key areas are public safety, neighborhood restoration, and education/literacy. Public safety initiatives include matching high areas of crime with neighborhood watch groups and CB Radio control and providing safe haven for children going to and from school. Neighborhood restoration includes blight elimination and urban tree planning. They will work with neighborhoods to transform vacant parcels of land into gardens and will be planting 5,000 trees this spring. They will address the literacy issue for both adults and children and will be engaging volunteers for the DPS Reading Corps and Detroit Reads! Programs. They will also work on increasing the youth engagement in volunteer service by promoting service as a core responsibility of all youth in Detroit. They have a new website to track volunteer opportunities: www.volunteer.detroitmi.gov. They have three AmeriCorps*VISTA members serving this year with two members in the neighborhood restoration program and one in the public safety area. Ms. VanDam shared that she recently had a conference call with Kalamazoo Mayor Bobby Hopewell, who is the newest mayor to sign on to the Cities of Service initiative. He also invited the Chris Sizemore, the director of the Volunteer Center in 7 �Kalamazoo, to participate in the call. We will keep working to engage the other four mayors in Michigan that have signed on and to encourage them to develop their own action plans for their communities. G. Partner Update- Kyle Caldwell (MNA) shared that they are working to retool the Nonprofit Caucus that we launched last year due to the turnover oflegislators. The public policy area will have an aggressive agenda on government reform and how nonprofits and governments work together. The Public Policy Committee is working on several pieces oflegislation including the Youth Worker Permit Bill which will eliminate permits for youth that volunteer and a bill that addresses the tax for nonprofit fundraising proceeds. Ms. VanDam also explained that they are working at the national level to pass a bill that will eliminate the tax on the education award that AmeriCorps members pay when they use the award. Renee Zientek (MCC) stated that they will be using the CMA/MNA funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to measure how statewide infrastructure volunteer efforts are working. They will work with their collaboratives, Michigan Campus Compact members, and the Volunteer Michigan grantees to gather this information. Diana Algra (VCM) shared they are excited with the new HandsOn Connect technology and will work to train their volunteer centers to use the technology. CMA Endowment Update- Commissioner Collier gave an update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Fund. Given the recent challenges with the MCSC General Fund budget, the question was asked as to whether the CMA Endowment Fund could be helpful. A subcommittee was convened to identify the intent of the donors and the fund. There were three key points that came out of this discussion: 1. The CMA Endowment Fund should not take the place of the State's general fund and their investment to support volunteerism. 2. We recognize the value of the public/private partnership and make sure that the Commission has representatives in the annual review process of the endowment to make sure their public/private efforts are supported. 3. MNA will serve as an advocate for the MCSC through public policy efforts. VI. Public Comment - None VII.

Welcome and Introduction- Vice-Chair Rob Collier The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:19 p.m. by Vice-Chair Rob Collier. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval ofNovember 18, 2010 Minutes- Vice-Chair Rob Collier Vice-Chair Collier asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 18, 2010 board meeting. Commissioner Algra 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 7, 2011 meeting. Vice-Chair Collier asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Algra moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. MCSC 20th Anniversary Committee- Commissioner Lawson updated Commissioners on planning activities for the Commission's 20th Anniversary. There are six pillars that we will be pursuing for the next few months: teach, advocate, record & share, celebrate, develop media coverage, and develop resources. We will kick off the 20th anniversary activities in the fall of 2011 . The actual creation of the Commission was on October 2, 1991 but will kick offthe anniversary in November so that it can be combined with other MCSC events (Celebration, Mentoring Conference). We will then be celebrating throughout the next year through other MCSC activities (National Volunteer Week, etc). The Teach Committee (chaired by Commissioner Algra) is developing a robust selection of opportunities so that we can learn from the past successes over the past 20 years and implement and disseminate that information to our constituents across Michigan. The Advocacy Committee (chaired by Kyle Caldwell) will be using the materials developed under the Teach Committee to share the ROI with our new elected officials. This information will also be available on the website. The Record & Share (chaired by Elyse Walter) will be drawing on the 10 year milestones from the Commission and then adding the additional 10 years of information. There will be materials developed to share these highlights. The Celebrate Committee (chaired by Janet Lawson) will be working on the event that will include the Governor's Service Awards along with the opportunity to celebrate with former commissioners through additional events over the next 12 months. The Media Committee will develop media coverage across the state to celebrate all the good work around national service. The Develop Resources Committee (chaired by Commissioner Collier) will help around the fund raising efforts for the GSA and Anniversary activities. C. Board Development Committee - Carolyn Bloodworth explained that in the new Mentor Michigan Strategic Plan, they identified the need for a Mentor Michigan Leadership Council, who would monitor and support the activities of Mentor Michigan. The MCSC Commissioners will appoint the members and they will be a sub-committee of the MCSC. An invitation list was presented to Commissioners for approval. Once Commissioners approve the list, the invites to serve on this Council will be made. Vice-Chair Collier asked for a motion to approve the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council invitation list. Commissioner Bloodworth moved 2 �to approve the invitation list with the recommendation to add a champion from the Upper Peninsula and other members at the Commission's discretion; Commissioner Anthony seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. New Business Transition - Vice-Chair Collier explained that there are three key targets: Executive Office, Department of Human Services/Executives and Legislature. The key deputy directors within DHS are Dudley Spade, Brian Rooney, and Duane Berger. There have been conversations about the role of the Commission with key staff members of the Governor's office and the Budget Director. The MCSC staff is in the process of scheduling a meeting with Director Maura Corrigan, Jim Vella, Rob Collier and Janet Lawson. We are waiting for a response to the request. From the meetings that ViceChair Collier has had with the Governor's team, it is clear that the Administration is going to encourage residents to get involved and reinvest in the state, which is what the Commission is about. It is important to identify a Chair for the MCSC to help move us forward. When meeting with Director Corrigan, it will be important to highlight what programs address children issues, foster care, etc; ROI!outcome measures, resources directed to support these efforts, and what results we can show; and Mentor Michigansuccess with the kids and foster care kids; and the statewide VISTA program through DHS - MYOI. It will also be important for Commissioners to meet with legislators that are on the Appropriations Committees to build a relationship with them and share the importance of national service in Michigan. Those meetings should take place in the next 30 days as the budget process will move quickly this year. V. Executive Director Report - Paula VanDam A. CNCS Update 1. CNCS Update- Evan Albert shared that Sargent Shriver passed away and wanted to honor him for what he has meant to the service field. The Strategic Plan is still ongoing with the two main focus areas around veterans/military programming and underperforming schools. The Social Innovation Fund (a public/private partnership) was created as part of the Serve America Act. The CNCS announced that more than $12 million was distributed in competitive subgrants to 61 community organizations across ten metropolitan areas (including the Detroit area). One of those grants was $4.2 million to LISC which is a national AmeriCorps program that has a large presence in Michigan. The purpose of the grants is to expand financial oppotiunity centers. 2. Budget Update - Ms. VanDam explained that the Corporation is still operating under a Continuing Resolution until early March. With the new Congress, there is much discussion around the current budget, but also the FY 12 budget. There has been discussion from the House to roll back all discretionary spending to 2008 levels. The challenge with that is not only will we see significant cuts to AmeriCorps, but we will see significant cuts to our Federal Admin grant. In 2008 the Federal Admin for commission line item was $11 .8 million and now it is $17 million. In addition, the Serve America Act passed in 2009 and with that legislation came some new baseline requirements. The minimum a state commission receives in terms of Federal Admin is $250,000 (before it was $125 ,000) so the $11.8 doesn't stretch as far as it needs to now because every state is now guaranteed at least $250,000. If we go back to 2008 levels we will 3 �see significant cuts to the number of AmeriCorps members serving in our state and significant cuts to the administration dollars we are receiving. In addition, as we go into FY12 we are already going to take a cut to AmeriCorps and Federal Admin because of the new census numbers . We will have our work cut out for us to educate the members of Congress, particularly the new members in the House, about the important work and what this investment means in our state. It will be important to provide updates to Congressman Camp and Congressman Sander Levin who serve on the Ways and Means Committee. 3. MLK Day - Elyse Walter shared highlights from the 2011 Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. The MCSC worked with our partners which included Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the Corporation for National and Community Service State Office, Department of Human Services, and many others. These organizations partner each year and set goals and implement the tasks and activities. This year we distributed $15,000 in mini-grants to 30 organizations across the state. We continued our outreach to encourage participation and tracked through a registration process 73 service projects coordinated across the state. Staff is now working to document the impact of these efforts. Several Commissioners sent out Op-Eds to their local newspapers promoting MLK Day. Governor Snyder also issued a proclamation declaring Monday, January 17 as the MLK Jr. Day of Service in Michigan. MCSC staff attended several projects. Ms . VanDam thanked MNA, VCM and MCC as they contributed $10,000 to the mini-grants through W .K . Kellogg funding and the remaining $5,000 came from GSA proceeds. Jeanine Yard also shared that due to the mini-grants, several YIP's attended the events. B. Program Updates 1. AmeriCorps Update a. AmeriCorps Competitive Funding- Jeanine Yard explained the staff recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive funding. Because we are concerned with what our actual formula funding allocation will be, it was decided that we would recommend all programs as competitive funding. Staff feels that these programs had the necessary characteristics to compete at the national level. Those that do not get funding competitively, will be looked at for formula funding. Due to the Serve America Act, AmeriCorps has a combined competitive fund for state commissions and national direct programs which makes the process even more competitive. The MCSC did extensive outreach to cultivate new programs and targeted outreach in communities where we don't have a strong presence (Port Huron, Muskegon, and Flint) as well as two webinars for folks in other parts of the state. We had a peer review process and focused on issue areas that are part of the CNCS new strategic plan (education, opportunity, clean energy and the environment, and veterans). In additional to the new competitive applications that we will put forward, we have several current programs who received competitive funding last year that have submitted a continuation application. (See memo from Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard dated Janua ry 18, 2011 for recommendations descriptions.) 4 �Vice-Chair Collier asked for a motion to approve the staff recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive funding. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the staff recommendations; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioners Lawson (Focus Hope), Anthony (Focus Hope) and Bloodworth (MNA) abstained due to conflict of interest. b. Michigan National Service Solutions Fund Update- Ms. VanDam shared we are still working through the W.K. Kellogg Foundation application process to secure the $250,000 they have committed to leverage 100 new AmeriCorps members in Michigan. We are also still working through the details with the Capital Region Community Foundation, where the funds will be housed, on the administrative issues. c. Program Update - Marcy Bishop Kates updated Commissioners on the AmeriCorps application process. We started out with 21 applications and moved 11 forward through the process. Six are being recommended to move forward to the CNCS competitive review process for new funding and five current competitive programs are being recommended for continuation. The Michigan ' s AmeriCorps LeaderCorps will be meeting for their annual retreat where they will participate in a variety of personal and professional development sessions. AmeriCorps week will take place May 7-14. This is a great time for us to recognize our AmeriCorps programs and the impact they have in their communities. It is also an opportunity to motivate more individuals to join AmeriCorps or volunteer in their communities. Megan Sargent announced that the 2011 Russ Mawby Signature Service project will take place on May 20-21 in Grand Rapids. There will be 300-350 AmeriCorps members participating in 2 days of training, team-building, and service. The MCSC will partner with the Habitat for Humanity, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks, and Elemental Media. Commissioners are encouraged to participate. Ms. Bishop Kates shared some key accomplishments from the ARRA funding including over 280,000 service hours completed and more than 7,600 volunteers recruited to support the projects. d. Power of We AmeriCorps Program - Peggy Roberts, Power of We Consortium, shared information on their AmeriCorps program. They have both AmeriCorps*VIST A members and a State AmeriCorps program. 2. Leam and Serve Update - Angelia Salas shared that they are working on site visits to all of the grantees. This is a monitoring visit to make sure that programs are in compliance with federal and state guidelines and is also a time for us to work on next steps and access where they are with program development. We use a service-leaming sustainability rubric that helps us detem1ine whether they are making strategic steps to impact their systems. The Leam and Serve - Michigan team is working on a funding request to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) for an Environmental Literacy Grant. We are requesting $1 ,498 ,000 to be used over the three-year cycle. We will hear in June whether we received the grant. This will allow us to do professional development for our current teachers and help them to understand how to use some of the NOAA data 5 �and how to collect NOAA data around the Great Lakes and climate and use it as a service-learning experience in the classroom. The outcomes would be related to more classrooms in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) doing service-learning. We will be offering mini-grants to school districts which will enhance what we are doing with Learn and Serve and allow us to do more STEM related work. The members of the Service-Learning Youth Council (SL YC) participated in a 2-day retreat in December. There are 23 members and their primary role will be to talk about youth service. They will also work with the MCSC on Global Youth Service Day and to plan local projects. We are in the funding cycle and will be releasing guidelines for 2011-12 grant cycle which will include four new planning grantees this year. We will be targeting some specific areas: Lansing, Kalamazoo, Muskegon and Ann Arbor. We expect to have approximately $700,000 and will grant out more than $529,000. The ServiceLearning Sustainability Symposium will take place in February and the focus is helping school districts look at their systems and what's necessary to support service-learning long term. Elyse Walter shared that the MCSC and Learn and Serve - Michigan will be serving as a Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) lead agency. GYSD is an annual effort to promote youth service opportunities and engaging youth in planning local service projects. This year we will be partnering with The LEAGUE Michigan, who is also a lead agency, to offer $11,000 in mini-grants to support local GYSD projects. Steve Dieleman, Kent Intermediate School District, a Learn and Serve - Michigan grantee, presented on Youth Engagement Zone grant they received from CNCS ($880,905 3-year grant). The Youth Engagement Zone program is a new initiative administered by the Corporation ' s Learn and Serve America program and authorized under the Serve America Act. The Kent ISD will engage three high-need schools in serving-learning activities to stop urban decay and expand the support of green infrastructure. 3. Mentor Michigan a. Program Update: Amber Troupe updated Commissioners on Mentoring Month activities. Mentoring Night at the Palace will take place on Saturday, January 22. For every ticket sold through a designated site, Mentor Michigan will receive $5 . The money raised will be distributed through mini-grants to mentoring organizations. Kari Pardoe encouraged Commissioners to purchase tickets . There is more happening with this event other than the financial benefit including on-court recognition, in-arena interviews, and media around the event. Pistons staff will be wearing Mentor Michigan shirts, the logo will be on the large screen, along with signage throughout the arena which will bring great exposure to Mentor Michigan. The Lloyd Carr MVP Mentoring Awards will take place on January 31 where Coach Carr will recognize five high school students who have exhibited benefits from having a mentoring relationship. Each of the students will receive a $1 ,000 scholarship for college. The National Mentoring Summit will take place in Washington DC January 25 111 • Several representatives from Michigan will attend including Paula, Amber, Kris Marshall , Tony Campbell, Dara Munson and Bob Kahle. First Lady Michelle Obama will be speaking and will be making a call of 6 �action to corporate leaders to get involved and to support mentoring. The Michigan delegation will also be participating in legislative visits. Ms. VanDam has been selected as one of eight representatives to serve on MENTOR's new Mentoring Partnership Advisory Council. The Council will serve as the voice for the MP network and will serve as an advisory body to MENTOR. b. Wave VIII Census: Ms. Troupe shared results from the Wave VIII Mentor Michigan Census. Of the 235 organizations that are registered with Mentor Michigan, 137 programs completed the survey. We have a slight decline in the number of active mentors and number of youth served. Last year we had our highest response rate (161) which may be one of the reasons for the decline. We are spending some time identifying what has happened to those programs that responded in Wave VII but not WAVE VIII. There were a couple programs are no longer in existence. The survey included a question on youth outcomes. Measuring the outcomes was a key piece of the Mentor Michigan Strategic Plan. We want to be able to document and show the impact mentoring is having on youth. Mentor Michigan is working with Dr. David DuBois to develop tools to help mentoring programs measure the outcomes of mentoring. Ms. VanDam shared that the number of questions that we have continued to ask through the Census has grown and feel that may be contributing to the decline in response this year. The Providers Council will be meeting in February and this will be a topic of discussion. There are also a number of questions asked that we've consistently seen the same response through all 8 waves of the Census. We will have some discussion about the future of the Census, what needs to be measured, do some things need to be measured annually and are there some things that could be measured bi-annually or every three years. We are looking at it as a costsaving perspective as well as what information are we really using. 4. Volunteer Michigan a. Program Update: Steve Springer shared that the MCSC is funding seven Volunteer Michigan grantees and the training and technical assistance that will be provided by the Volunteer Centers of Michigan through the Volunteer Generation Fund. Funding will be used to enhance the infrastructure and capacity of non-profit organizations to engage volunteers. One key component of the grant is the technology piece. Grantees and other volunteer connector organizations will be utilizing a program called HandsOn Connect which is a volunteer management system. The MCSC will host the statewide portal for HandsOn Connect. Ms. VanDam explained that the intent of the Volunteer Generation Fund was to strengthen the volunteer infrastructure across the state. The MCSC wanted to ensure that there was the capacity at the local level to increase their capacity to engage volunteers but also have the technology needed to have a robust infrastructure connecting people who were interested in volunteering with the opportunities available. What we found was that volunteer centers across the state were using a variety of technology. HandsOn, which merged with Points of Light, was creating and launching this new technology called HandsOn Connect. We wanted to leverage this new technology that matches volunteer interests and gives the volunteer center the abi lity to manage data in a way that previous technology has not allowed them 7 �• to do. The first two volunteer centers to go live with HandsOn Connect are here in Michigan (Lenawee and Battle Creek). Our goal is that by the end of this year, 50% of the volunteer centers will be using Hands On Connect. Paula Trentman, Volunteer Lenawee, presented on the HandsOn Connect technology. b. Detroit Initiative- Ms. VanDam updated Commissioners on Cities of Service activities in Detroit. Barb Patton, Chief Service Officer for the City of Detroit, is no longer there and has been replaced by Annie Ellington. In addition, last week Mayor Bing and a number of other Detroit officials launched a new campaign called Believe in Detroit or I'm a Believer. This campaign is focused on bringing more positive publicity to Detroit. They are now merging this with the Cities of Service initiative.

These citizens made this national holiday a "day on, not a day off'' as they looked to reaffirm Dr. King's teachings of nonviolence and social justice. Everyone was encouraged to participate in the King Day of Service and all types of service were accepted. The Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Department of Human Services, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, The LEAGUE Michigan, the Corporation for National and Community Service- Michigan Office, and the Michigan Association of United Ways all encouraged individuals and/or organizations to search for opportunities in their community by visiting the official MLK Day website at www.MLKDav.gov . These organizations partner together every year to set goals for MLK Day and implement tasks and activities. Those tasks included: • • • • The distribution of $15,000 in mini-grants funds (provided by the MCSC, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and Michigan Campus Compact) to 30 organizations across the state to support their 2011 MLK Day projects. The tracking of 73 service projects coordinated across the state who registered via the MCSC ' s Survey Monkey link. Those projects were posted to Idealist so citizens could find opportunities to volunteer locally. The participation in various service projects on MLK Day to show support and carry the message of service locally. o Michigan Nonprofit Association staff visited the Greater Lansing Food Bank. o MCSC staff visited a variety of projects; including to Downriver CARES in Southgate, the Grand Rapids Veterans Home, the Somerset Senior Living Center in Lansing, Michigan State University, the Arts Council of Greater Lansing, and the Power of We in East Lansing - among others. The obtainment of an official proclamation from Governor Snyder declaring Monday, January 17 as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service in Michigan. Projects - particularly the 30 mini-grant recipients - are now working to document the impact of their 2011 MLK Day efforts and provide the MCSC and our partners with comprehensive reports in the coming weeks. We look forward to developing an official Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service recap for the entire state of Michigan in early February. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
