Michigan Community Service Commission OperatingPr '<;••V es �Introduction Michigan is a leader in national service and volunteerism. Michigan has an solid reputation for building an infrastructure of relationships, programming and funding support mechanisms that bolster the ethic that posits that service to community and one's fellow citizenry is one our nation's greatest assets. Part of that reputation was built by the participation of key leaders and leader organizations. Outside of the tremendous contributions of the Michigan citizens, a significant contribution to that reputation can be traced the work of Michigan's public service leaders and philanthropic institutions. Michig~;:hommunity _,.- <:>>~< Service Commission (MCSC), a fundamental component of ','"'' Michigan'~Serlice anevolunteer infrastructure, grew out of an extensive planning process hosted~f?ythe W.K.. Govem~r JobA,E~~tin gg ~Qundation and was officially created by an executive order of ... · i 1991. Established in state law with the overwhelming bipartisan support oftheMlchigan~gislature in the summer of 1994, MCSC is chaired by ' ., '·' ~ ' -;, '' Engler and serv~s as a nonpartisan commission that Michigan's First Lady;;Mic A '<\ //,<' promotes, supports and admuU§ters national arid community service programs and various <:~:-~. ;_-·-': . ~~~r~c other volunteer efforts across the great sUtle,:~f Michigan ........ .' ">>''' ' ' "''i'/ MCSC current operates with the support of ~'itttetsive network of profit and ""/?' • ·.·,·\vy : "• nonprofit organizations. It is because of its ~orkto.:4evel~p meaningful partnerships that MCSC is seen as a convener. From its very beginnings, MCSC has wt>})ced with -<t:·:::·;:;:;:.;~· .··:·:''.>·/·;·. . organizations from the various sectors of our society to build a m~gful and lasting relationships that serve the fields of national service and voluntoorism. Contributions, advice and support from organizations including Ameritech, Council of Michigan Foundations, C.S. Mott Foundation, Dow Coming Corporation, Lovelight Foundation, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, United Way of Michigan, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and many more, have developed an idea into a reality. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page I �MCSC survives in a stable political landscape. The re-election of one of Michigan's most popular Governors has provided the MCSC a secure leadership with the continuity of the First Lady's role as chairperson and the continuing administrative support relationship with the highly successful Michigan Jobs Commission. On several levels, the MCSC is well positioned. That positioning, albeit surprisingly comprehensive, is extremely fragile. Several factors, working together or independently, can threaten the success and even future existence of the MCSC. Threats M<;JSC:is thre~ltfned by several very real potential factors: 1. l:.oss of ~rshi"Q~ .While Michigan's Governor Engler was recently re-elected to an third tel.lU (~on&~~:higan' s Chief Executives and a ringing endorsement by the v.·.· ,<--;>:X::tK·-~,;· voters to his vision, le~e~p and dedication), this will serve as his last due to term limits. No one individualha~,~~n supportive of tqe Michigan Community Service Commission than John Engl~l+with the poS$iple exception of his greatest ally and life, .·.·. ;:<·>>:·· partner, First Lady and MCSCChair, Mic~etleEngler. Thegovernor has committed to serving out his full four-year term. How~v:er, given . vernGl;' s overwhelming popularity both in Michigan and nationally, there will no·~bubt be a long succession of national leaders courting the Governor to join their team of innovators ~dlstl:iange agents. The loss of this leadership team. whether in four years or sooner.";Btllll~~ve tti;MCSC in <S-<:'~:>•v:: •• an extremely vulnerable position. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 2 �2. Administrative Home and Stability. The MCSC was initially housed in the Michigan Department of Labor and transitioned to the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) in 1993. In 1994, with overwhelming bipartisan support of the Michigan Legislature, the MCSC was codified in statute and permanently assigned to the MJC. MJC has provided exemplary logistical and administrative support to the MJC in areas including personnel matters, financial management, federal and state reporting, access to the legislature, and many other staff time intensive tasks. Unfortunately, the MJC's future could fall prey to changing political whims and morays of future administrations and legislatures. It is unclear if the ¥GSC. as a body codified in law within an agency that is not. would survive if the MJC W~~ redes}ined or eliminated. ;)-~'\- ' ;:~> .,a. ,Financial.ltesources. <\:>';'': • lean and cost-e /)'~;(,.:::-,., • Since its inception in 1991, the MCSC has operated on a "v . ,:~e ad .· ./ 'ft~t finance model. Currently, the MCSC administers over $5 million in priv·~~$~t~ andf,~deral funds. The staff support over 70 separate grantees; host several$~tewjq~ev~~~ including the Make-A-Difference Day campaign, the ConnectMichigan Campaign1 ,~ovemor' s SeMce Awards, Volunteer Superconference, :> statewide signature service projects for natiO'!'J.al service pt:(j}$fams, and many others; publish over a dozen widely distributed vqlunteer field y,,:;,: -.and other communication mechanisms; orting documents, websites, and.~UPE9!1 tbe vqlgnteerfi,ld. in several other 'A'o~C·'/<">'"''' ways generally. The MCSC does all of this on a rdughly $350,000 sta~e admipistrative budget. Clearly, this is not typical among state governmental org~tions. The MCSC prides itself on its work versus cost rate. One of the many facto~ithat support this philosophy is the tried and true dedication level of the MCSC staff and their willingness to work beyond the traditional 9 to 5 work parameters. Other factors include free office space, free computer technical assistance and support, and a myriad of other overhead costs from which the MCSC if freed by its current fortunate administrative support position. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 3 �MCSC' s current $350,000 financial support through state appropriations is woefully inadequate should the MCSC need to pay for costs currently not billed to the MCSC. Should the MCSC need to secure office space. logistical and financial management support and the need to secure quality personnel through increasing salaries and benefits an additional $1.5 million in annual state appropriations will be needed. 4. Name Recognition. A chronic dilemma for the MCSC has been how to balance its purpose and drive to support the field of volunteerism without being self serving while also modestly promoting itself to secure support in various sectors of society including the state legislaturt;(, local leaders in communities and the national and community service field nationally. 'fli~ MCS~ is a major player behind the scenes on many programs and initi~t~v~~;around the.; stAte and in many communities, but does not promote its own press in :<:),;:.. ;c · In<~desty has lead the MCSC to an enviable and an effort to re simultaneously unenvij and key communicy · "'sitiqp+4h.e MCSC is unknown by most Michigan legislatures f~~rs .. ;i[{~'isenviable because the MCSC is rarely in the spot light <>> of the annual appropriationsP.r.ocess. This is unenviable because as the MCSC needs to articulate a need for increase in sfllte approp~ations, it ha§gpqtried and true ties to key legislative leaders nor to their local consti~hts. Th~.~~need.s to gain recognition for ;)~/<~,', vv"v c<; c its comprehensive and excellent support of the field.of~olYJlteerism in Michigan and •'" •• cc";,<?:(J" d.;< '• nationally and articulate that work to the state legislature and key cornmunity'l¥aders. 5. Closely tied to the state's current chief executive. It is ~~~ge to p~se this very productive relationship as a threat, however it is a relationship thatby its very nature (close tie to an elected official) is unstable at best. Many have stated that the MCSC is vital and valuable because of its ability to have access to the leadership of state government. It (MCSC) is also seen as unique in its ability to play a convener of all sectors of our society (public, private and social) to discuss openly the issues related to national and community service. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 4 �The MCSC is the one place where all may come to discuss issues of community problem solving because the MCSC does not take a particular political position. Rather, the MCSC acts as the hub for this type of dialog. Without its close ties to the state's chief executive and leadership of the legislature. it will be handicapped in its ability to gain the attention of policy makers on matters related to the field. Access and influence ability of the MCSC must constantly be analyzed. visited. bolstered and secured. MCSC must transition. Here are two possible options: 1. Continue to develop intimate and meaningful relationships with the Governor's Office, Lie"@~Jlant G.·· rnor' s Office and leadership of the legislature in hopes of building , --;~_:;.lc::~~-, ; similar r~lationshipsu e one. that currently exists and MCSC hopes to develop in the near future. 2. MCSC strik~·b~i operates within state · by creating an independent state commission that and has its own physical space, but with unique access to the Governor's Office (either t:fuough".l~+uppomtment of the Lt.

More than 200 individuals signed up to participate in one of the three technical assistance sessions. The sessions were conducted in Grand Rapids, Detroit and via a conference call. The purpose of the technical 3 �assistance sessions was to assist any organization in applying for a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. The MCSC has received more than 400 requests for the application materials. The Intent to Apply Forms are due to the MCSC by 5:00p.m. on December 7, 1998.

The formula renewal applications are due March 5, 1999. 2. America's/Michigan's Promise The MCSC held a two day meeting September 30 - October 1, 1998 in Lansing for the Communities of Promise and those Michigan communities interested in becoming Communities of Promise. More than 80 individuals representing twenty communities attended the meeting. Several staff members from America's Promise participated in the meeting. Ms. Kaiser stated that on October 24, 1998, she and Kyle Caldwell attended a meeting of select state commissions, hosted in Fort Worth, Texas, by the Association of State Service Commissions (ASSC) and America's Promise. The purpose of the meeting was to help develop an America's Promise best implementation practice guide. The guide is due to be published in late winter or early spring. The MCSC in cooperation with Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF) will be establishing a Communities of Promise coordinator position. This position will coordinate the activities of Michigan's Promise including heading up the Michigan's Promise Fellows program, the coordination of the 15 Communities of Promise, brokering of state level commitments, and working on the development of tracking mechanisms for local communities. Resumes are being accepted until December 23, 1998. The position is expected to be filled by January 31, 1998. On September 10, 1998 the MCSC submitted a grant to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) for the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program requesting 20 fellows be placed throughout the state in Communities of Promise to coordinate local efforts. The MCSC received notification from the CNS that we will receive a grant of $145,000 to fund 13 fellows. The MCSC issued a request for proposals to all Communities of Promise for the 13 fellows. The MCSC received seven applications requesting a total of 13 fellows. 4 �The MCSC staff recommended the following: A) Funding for Marquette Alger Intermediate School District for one AmeriCorps Promise Fellow. B) Provisional funding for the Capital Area United Way, the Volunteer Center for Isabella County, Pathways to Healthy Living, Eastern Upper Peninsula Community Foundation Alliance, Heart of West Michigan United Way, and EightCAP provided the applicants fully address the issues outlined in staff review comments. The application revisions are due to the MCSC on December 16, 1998. Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Wesaw seconded the motion. The motion was approved by unanimous vote with one abstraction by Commissioner Brandell. 3. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) The MCSC mailed more than 6,000 postcards announcing the availability of funds for the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants. The MCSC hosted two conference calls on October 5, 1998 to assist potential applicants with the application process. The MCSC disseminated more than 550 copies of the application materials. A total of 24 applications were received by October 21, 1998 requesting more than $1.3 million in state support. Of the 24 organizations that applied, 13 are previous recipients of a Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant. The MCSC conducted a peer review of the applications on November 9, 1998 and a staff review on November 16, 1998. After conducting a peer and staff review, the MCSC staff recommends: a) Provisional funding at the requested level for the Volunteer Center of the Tri-Cities, the Volunteer Center of Isabella County, Lighthouse of Oakland County, the Resource Center, the Volunteer Center of Northwestern Michigan, ENRICH of Ionia County, the Jackson Nonprofit Support Center, Dickinson Community Resource Center, the Barry County United Way, and the Voluntary Action Center of Midland County provided the applicants fully address the weaknesses outlined to them through the staff and peer reviewer comments. The application revisions are due to the MCSC on December 7, 1998. Commissioner Newport moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Scott Smith seconded the motion. The motion was approved by unanimous vote with one abstraction by Commissioner Brandell. b) Provisional funding at the requested level for the Marquette County Volunteer Center, Volunteer Muskegon, the Southwestern Michigan Volunteer Center, Volunteer and Information Services, and the Albion Volunteer Service Organization provided the applicants fully address the weaknesses outlined to them in the peer and staff reviewer comments and fulfil the endowment obligations of the FY97-98 Michigan's VIG agreement. 5 �Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion. Commissioners approved the recommendation unanimously. c) Provisional funding at a reduced level for the Keweenaw Children's Museum (requested $1 00,000/MCSC recommendation $50,000) and the Volunteer Center of Otsego County (requested $50,000/MCSC recommendation $25,000) provided the applicants fully address the weaknesses outlined to them in the staff and peer reviewer comments. This recommendation was based on the organizations demonstrated capacity to raise funds. If the organizations demonstrate their ability to meet the $1-to-$1 match for the approved amount, they may then be eligible to apply for a larger amount in a second round of funding for FY99. Commissioner Newport moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Meg Smith seconded the motion. Commissioners approved the recommendation unanimously. d) That the Alpena Volunteer Center, Volunteer Center of MidMichigan, Save Our Sons and Daughters, Cass County Council on Aging, Branch County Community Foundation, Lenawee County United Way and Volunteer Center, and the Alliance for Safer, Greater Detroit do not receive funding. Commissioner Scott Smith moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Lenz seconded the motion. Commissioners approved the motion unanimously with one abstraction from Commissioner Newport. e) An additional $500 to cover the travel costs to attend the Michigan's VIG program's training and development opportunities be granted to all applicants that did not request the maximum amount of $100,000. Commissioner Meg Smith moved to approve the staff recommendations. Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. Commissioners approved unanimously. Based on the approval of these recommended applications, $862,000 of the $1,000,000 FY98-99 budget will be expended as of December 11, 1998. Staffs goal is to expend as much of the state allocation as possible as the funds may not be carried over to the next fiscal year. Accordingly, a second round of grants will be made available to allocate the remaining $138,000 as well as any funds remaining as a result of program attrition. Second round funds will be available to a combination of current and new applicants. Commission Newport suggested that extra VIG funds to go to new programs instead of increasing the funding of existing successful programs. 6 �C. Finance & Administration - Gany Gross 1. Budget FY 1998-99 Mr. Gross updated the Commission on the vacancies within the MCSC and explained the process through the Civil Service system. Mr. Gross updated the Commission on fiscal year close out activities and explained that as in the past the MCSC faces many of the same issues affecting it's fiscal year close out including numerous grants ending at different times, closing out sub grants from grantees, working with the CNS on the administrative application and budget for the next grant year, reconciling with the state budget process as the state does not close out its books and accounting until after the end of the calendar year, and working with the Department of Management and Budget to process both a budget request/increase for General Fund support (GF) and requesting a work project extension for fiscal year 1998 funds. Mr. Gross explained the two Comparative Financial Statements for both fiscal year (FY98) ending September 30, 1998 and the new fiscal year (FY99) starting October 1, 1998. Mr. Gross informed the Commission that the MCSC has been notified by the Michigan Jobs Commission that it will be part of the department-wide federal funds audit being conducted by the Inspector General of the State of Michigan. Vice Chairperson Pruitt suggested that the budget reporting form be modified. Mr. Gross stated that he will look into changing the format as the current structure doesn't allow for easy reading. 2. VIG FY 1997-98, 1998-99 Mr. Gross stated that the VIG reports had been covered by Ms. Kaiser in her VIG program reports. IV. Executive Director's Report and Status Update- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell explained how the new executive director's report will be written and what they will cover. There will be two separate components of the MCSC. One will cover "Insights on the Vision" which will detail what progress the MCSC is making toward meeting the goals of its vision for service and volunteerism in Michigan. The second will cover "Making It Happen" which will detail how the MCSC commissioners, staff, partners and constituents are all working together to make service and volunteerism a way of life for all Michigan citizens. Mr. Caldwell suggested that the Chairperson present a formal resolution to Paula Kaiser thanking her for all the excellent work she accomplished for the Commission. Vice Chairperson Pruitt moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Cummings seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 7 �Mr. Caldwell also suggested that the Chairperson present a formal resolution to Daphne Wells thanking her for her fine work on behalf of the Commission. Commissioner Orosz move to approve the resolution and Commissioner Cummings seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. A copy of the MCSC Service Performance Survey Results was handed out to Commissioners and Mr. Caldwell explained the findings and that the data collected points to two glaring findings. First, the MCSC staff are demonstrate a willingness to be flexible on budgetary matters and in the application process and timely responses to phone calls in general inquiries. Second, the data demonstrated that the MCSC staff, specifically within the AmeriCorps area, did not provide adequate and timely feedback to programs on reports or applications submitted to MCSC. In general, this data points to an issue of which the MCSC is keenly aware--the staffing levels assigned to the programming area is inadequate to support the programs MCSC funds. Commissioner Pritchard asked if the grantees will get a report on the total results. Mr. Caldwell responded by that they will receive a copy of the report at the Program Director's meeting. Mr. Caldwell also stated to insure confidentiality all results will be reported in the aggregate and no individual program will be identified in the results. Mr. Caldwell informed Commissioners that all of them would be involved with the Legislative Breakfast. And it was important to have everyone involved with their support and knowledge in assisting legislators to understand who we are and what we are trying to accomplish at the MCSC. Commissioner Cummings suggested that Commissioners visit with their local legislators and wanted the MCSC to give them talking points regarding key issues. Commissioner McCarthy stated she would be willing to talk with her legislators about the work of the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell informed the Commission that he is working with the Governor's Office to provided them with information on Michigan's Promise and the MCSC for possible inclusion in the State of the State address. Governor John Engler made a special appearance and presented resolutions to departing members of the Commission and staff members of the MCSC. The following were honored: Commissioner Pritchard, Commissioner Scott Smith, Ms. Paula Kaiser and Ms. Daphne Wells. Governor John Engler applauded the Commissioners and the staff of the MCSC for all their work and dedication in the field of volunteerism and service. Vice Chairperson Pruitt asked Governor Engler if he had any suggestions on putting together the Legislative Breakfast. The Governor suggested that the breakfast be on a Wednesday or Thursday, and one or two people from each district assist the MCSC in getting legislators to attend. The Governor also suggested that down the road the MCSC might plan a Legislator Aide luncheon to help to familiarize them with the MCSC . Vice Chairperson Pruitt proposed a resolution to acknowledge the support and dedication of the Governor to the MCSC. Commissioner Cummings made a motion to support the resolution and Commissioner Newport seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 8 �V. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee- Vice Chairperson Pruitt Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated that the items he was going to discuss had already been covered during the Executive Director's Report. B. Board Development Committee - Dorothy Johnson (Terry Pruitt) Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated that the Board Development Committee (BDC) had expected to submit a formal list of proposed new commissioners today but the process has not been completed. A formal list of recommendations should be completed in the next thirty days and will be sent to Commissioners in the near future. Vice Chairperson Pruitt explained the MCSC Commissioner Roles and Expectations document. Vice Chairperson Pruitt noted that if approved, the document will be incorporated into the MCSC Operating Procedures. Vice Chairperson Pruitt asked that the Commission approve the BDC recommendations. Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve and Commissioner Williams seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Orosz asked if commissioners can recommend people to the BDC to be consider for the Commission. Vice Chairperson Pruitt stated that commissioners were more than welcome to suggest new commission members but explained that they are appointed by the Governor and the MCSC would forward any new member resumes to the Governor's Office for consideration in the appointment process. Commissioner Cummings suggested that present commissioners might mentor new commissioners. Vice Chairperson Pruitt agreed and will discuss with theBDC. VI. New Business A.

The Alliance will initially consist of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) and the ConnectMichigan Campaign Partners. VCM and MCC will be permanently housed with in the Alliance along with a number of programs and funding sources currently housed in the MCSC and MNA. MCSC, VCM, MCC and MNA are permanent member of the Alliance. The graphic in Appendix 1 illustrates the changes (see Appendix 1). Essentially, the MCSC and MNA will modify their current respective functions to ensure that they are~ot competing and are executing support functions for the field that are effective and efficient. ?::~~;; . ~,_,_;,_,(~i,/ ('-' • The Alliance will be estaQ!i~h,ed as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization comprised a board of dire9tors consjstiilg of not more than six members nominated and approved by MNA .and MGSC.

The Alliance would develop arid supp9rtMichigan's volunteer organizations through programming, advocacy, and technical assistan~e. · \ The Alliance will have its own physical space with extra for lease to thlMCSC and MNA. (This would be phased in over 18 months with all organizations being hou~e with the MCSC for a six month or 1 year period while space is being either procured or reribvated •.andthe endowment is established.

On May 4, 1999, I served as the Executive Director (ED) of the MCSC for exactly one year. It seems appropriate that the members of the Commission provide feedback to the ED on his performance in carrying out his duties. I know that at one time there had been a system in place for evaluating the performance of the ED and that it was to be an annual ritual. I would encourage the Executive Committee to discuss this process soon so that a recommendation may be proposed at the September meeting. If there are no objections, I will add this to end of our agenda for Friday. I am attaching a more refined draft of the program/agenda for the September retreat for us to use as a point of discussion. Please add this to your materials for the Executive Committee meeting. Just as a reminder, the meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. EST via conference call. You must dial 1-800-659-8292 and inform the operator that Kyle Caldwell is the chairperson for the call to be tied into the call. Thank you. �• DRAFT working agenda - Sc he d ueI MCSC Ret reaL, t Sep1em t ber 24 25 1999 Time Activity Comments FRIDAY Evening Guests from Florida and Texas describe their commission in state context and what has worked for them Diana facilitate and also elicit any information from commissioners about other state commission structures 9 am Warm up Modified version of charadescommissioners in two teams, commissioners each write the most outrageous profession they ever thought of pursuing or wish they had thought of! Members of opposite team need to act out for their team 9:30 9:40 Review goals and agenda Review of our history, critical choices and benchmarks, key challenges and disappointments as well (What do we do most effectively? What do we do that no one else is doing?) We will want to give some important reference materials to participants so that they have some base knowledge. Sort of a brief generic history of the MCSC and allow them to fill in the blanks as they see fit. Break Who are we today? MCSC staff will provide a briefing of all the current initiatives of the MCSC so that participants have some reference materials. SATURDAY 10:45 11:00 11:30 Where do we want to be a year from now? four years from now? 12:00 1:00pm. Lunch What is the work we'll need to do this year? First, is there any old baggage that we need to leave behind? Get agreement on the large goals that need to be achieved (those that are the responsibility of the commission to lead) Commissioners in small groups, with at least one senior member in each. Each team brainstorms on post-its critical moments and decisions in the organization's history. Senior members then reconstruct timeline using the post-its (MCSC staff will act as recorders in each group) Elevator speeches-each commissioner has five minutes to draft the thirty second response they would give if they had a MCSC nametag on in the elevator and another rider said "what's that?" Ask about a dozen to perform, look for key words and phrases, get agreement from commissioners that this is an accurate description Michelle and Kyle share their visions, commissioners add theirs-lead into afternoon work-What will we need to do to get there? Burning bowl exercise if needed (What is this exercise? Burning paper messages of baggage items? Develop list of large goals that need to be achieved Divide into groups of three, choose three priorities �1:45 Are we organized appropriately to get this work done? What might we do differently? 2:00 Task work groups Combine into groups of six to agree on four priorities, into groups of twelve to agree on four Explore committee (and organizational) structures, make adjustments if necessary Choose six of the priorities, ask who has energy to spend the next twenty minutes doing some planning around that priority Task-in twenty minutes identify the benchmarks-what will be the product or result that will show success in one year and what are the quarterly measures along the way? Report out from groups 3:00 Wrap-up Reassign whatever priorities remain to other volunteers, give them fifteen minutes to work and then do final report out Each commissioner "stand and declare" what they can be counted on to deliver on behalf of the commission Thank vous and anv loose ends Do you feel there is enough activity around Espirit de Corps? What can people do in a quick exercise that will allow them to "build something" as a group and then reflect on their accomplishments? Or what can we do to further break the ice? What do you think about the participants filling out a questionnaire that will ask them some key questions in advance and that would include the information for the ice breakers and then using that information to set up some exercises in advance? I am thinking that we could have enough material to do a quick ice breaker between various parts of the day. In the NSLI training that I just completed we did a quick version of "What's My Line?" where the responses to "The strangest thing that ever happened to me was...... " were gathered in advance and the participants were choosen to be on a three-member panel to all tell the same story and the rest of the room had to guess which two were lying. It's a great way for people to share something about themselves while drawing others into the conversation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Introduction- Kyle Caldwell The meeting was called to order at 12:30 p.m.by Mr. Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell welcomed everyone to the meeting. Chairperson Engler joined the meeting via conference call. II. Review of December 11, 1998 Minutes- Kyle Caldwell Commissioner Neelis moved to approve the December 11, 1998 minutes.

Mr. Caldwell informed the MCSC that he, Mary Estrada and Lindy Lange would be staffing the event. A briefing packet was developed for each commissioner and was in their commission packet. Mr. Caldwell stated that a commissioner retreat would be held in September in conjunction with the Commission meeting. The dates have been set for September 24, 1999 for a Commission meeting in Mackinaw City and September 25, 1999 for the Commissioner Retreat at Mackinac Island.

Reports by Department from the MCSC staff- Kyle Caldwell A. Programming- Kyle Caldwell 1. Michigan's AmeriCorps Mr. Caldwell stated that, in their commission packet, were the results of the Michigan's AmeriCorps outreach and renewal application processes plus recommendations for the Michigan's AmeriCorps Application to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) for FY 1999-00. a. Competitive Funding Application to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell noted that the application included four Competitive Programs: Michigan Department of Agriculture: Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program, Oakland University: AmeriCorps Oakland, United Way Community Services: Detroit Academic Success Program, University of Michigan: Michigan Neighborhood AmeriCorps Program. These programs all showed satisfactory progress toward their goals and some areas for improvement. The MCSC staff will work with each program to develop plans for addressing challenges. Three programs requested modest expansions and one program remained essentially at the same level of funding. This is consistent with the MCSC' s goal of building self-sustaining and cost effective programs. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC staff received a Recompete Competitive Application from the Family Independence Agency (FIA). This program focuses on the goals of America's Promise by targeting children in Michigan and their access to the five fundamental resources. This is a large statewide corps that targets a needy population in a relatively cost effective manner. The FIA has been a grantee of the MCSC for three years with documentable successes. The FIA has identified anticipated challenges and articulated plans for addressing them. Several commissioners asked questions about the programs' challenges, improvements and what the MCSC can do if programs do not meet these items. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC can put programs on probation or discontinue their funding. The MCSC staff recommended that the four programs proposed requesting $1,269,722 in support of70 full-time and 111 part-time be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Competitive Funds Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. In addition, the MCSC staff recommends that the Recompete Competitive Application from the Family Independence Agency requesting $456,957 for 40 full-time members be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. 3 �'· Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Williams abstained from voting. b. Formula Application to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the staff recommended the continuation of funding for 13 of the programs currently funded through the MCSC's Formula Allocation from the Corporation for National Service for FY1999-00. Ofthe 13 programs, six requested modest increases to cover the costs of expansion efforts (American Red Cross, Creston Neighborhood AmeriCorps, Michigan Communities in Schools, Dreamcatchers, Rural Strategic Action Initiative, and Underground Railroad), two programs requested slightly less funding (Eastern Michigan University and SOS Crisis Center), and one program requested that it be allowed to expand to incorporate a program design presented as a new program, but was withdrawn by the applicant due to insufficient organizational capacity (BHK Child Development Board: Copper Country AmeriCorps). One program requested a $63,000 increase over the previous year with no increase in FfE's (Saginaw Public Schools). The MCSC staff recommended maintaining the funding level of the previous year for this program. Several programs identified a need to revise their objectives to more effectively guide and document the accomplishments of their programs. The MCSC staff contracted with Project STARR to provide training on how programs should work to create measurable objectives for maximum impact. Those objectives were reviewed by staff and incorporated into the renewal applications. Staff recommendations are based on at least one site visit, the program's first quarter report and a Year 2-3 plan. The MCSC staff recommends that the 13 Renewal Formula Applications requesting $2,144,236 for 567 members be approved for inclusion in Michigan's Application to the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-00. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. c. New Applications to CNS (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC held outreach sessions for FY 1999-00 Michigan's AmeriCorps which included two full-day workshops and a statewide mailing. The MCSC received twenty proposals and only four proposals advanced from the peer review to staff review. The MCSC staff worked with the four programs extensively to help them develop quality program designs. Of the 4 �four, only two programs were recommended. One of the two programs dropped out of the process so the MCSC had only one which appropriately addressed the criteria of the application and formed a program design that fit within the AmeriCorps design-City Year Detroit. Michigan is the next host state for the model on which AmeriCorps is based-City Year. City Year Detroit is scheduled to start up in the Fall of 1999. The program has broad based support including the Kresge Foundation, Henry Ford Health Systems, United Way Community Services and many others. The MCSC staff want to ensure that, as with all of its programs, MCSC funds are utilized in the most cost effective way possible. To ensure a level of cost control, the staff recommend including the City Year Detroit program in MCSC's Formula Funds for FY 199900. This runs contrary to what other state commissions have done in the past. States have included City Year programs in their Competitive Funding pool thereby saving their Formula Funds for less competitive programs. By doing so, states have set up a quasidirect relationship between City Year programs and the Corporation for National Service. So long as the City Year programs were performing they could develop much of their programming, fundraising and operations as they deemed appropriate with less Commission involvement. Several commissioners asked questions regarding City Year funding: Who is their primary sponsor?, What are the pro's and con's of this program being located in Detroit? Mr. Caldwell explained that City Year's primary sponsor is the Kresge Foundation and the main City Year office is located in Massachusetts. Mr. Caldwell stated that this is a great opportunity for Detroit but that fundraising and recruitment has to be coordinated with existing programs. Chairperson Engler expressed concern about City Year corning to Detroit and taking attention, resources, and assistance away from existing programs in the Metro Detroit area. Commissioner Williams shares this concern, but supports bringing the program to Detroit. The staff of the MCSC recommend that the City Year Detroit program be funded for the requested $485,000 amount is support of 70 full-time members through Michigan's Formula Allocation from the Corporation for National Service for FY 1999-000. Mr. Caldwell explained that this represents 30% of City Year Detroit's funding. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Orosz seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 5 �2. America' s/Michigan' s Promise - Mary Grill Ms. Grill reviewed the Michigan's Promise goals that are established to-date which are: • . To talk with key stakeholders and visit the Community of Promise; listen to the opportunities and challenges; provide feedback, information, and resources; and assist, as appropriate, in problem solving. • To provide networking opportunities and channel national, statewide, and local information to Michigan's Communities of Promise. • To assist communities as they explore and implement the opportunity to become a Community of Promise. • To provide a realistic assessment of statewide commitments so communities can utilize appropriate resources. • To explore and engage new commitment makers on a statewide level. • To support and monitor the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program. Ms. Grill also gave updates on the following: America's Promise-The Alliance for Youth 1999 Report to the Nation, Communities of Promise Site Map, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Summary by Site. Ms. Grill announced that Michigan has 17 Communities of Promise with two communities working to become official Communities of Promise. Ms. Grill stated that Head Start has made a commitment and that through a partnership with the Corporation for National Service office in Detroit we have 10 sites of promise in our Communities of Promise were VISTA's will be working full-time at Head Start agencies to promote the Michigan's Promise goals. Ms. Grill stated that at the present time she is working on building an Advisory Board for the Communities of Promise and is working with the local communities. Commissioner Williams asked how the MCSC will evaluate and measure the success of the program. Ms. Grill said the success will be measured at the end of the project when communities do their year end report and during the program with monitoring and evaluation. Commissioner Williams stated that United Way Community Services is working with Jack Moore and Associates to develop an evaluation process that will set a standard statewide. Chairperson Engler stated that evaluation of programs at the national level is a concern and that America's Promise is working on this issue. 6 �·. Ms. Grill stated that eleven AmeriCorps Promise Fellows have been placed in seven communities throughout Michigan. Michigan is also fortunate to host five National Direct AmeriCorps Fellows. These individuals are placed with the following organizations: Youth Volunteer Corps of AmericaEightCAP, Inc., National League of Cities-Michigan Municipal League, National Jewish Coalition for Literacy-Jewish Community Council of Metro Detroit, City Cares-Volunteer Impact. 3. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) Mr. Caldwell explained that at the December 11, 1999 commission meeting, the MCSC reviewed and approved the staff recommendations of the 1998 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant (MI-VIG) applications. At that time seventeen organizations were approved for 1999 MI-VIG program funding for a total amount of $805,000. In order to encumber the full one million dollar state allocation, the MCSC staff requested approval to offer a second round of 1999 MI-VIG funds. Mr. Caldwell stated that the following has occurred or will occur over the next quarter: grants were issued to all grantees, the MCSC hosted the first MI-VIG grantee meeting, the MCSC is developing a second round 1999 MI-VIG application, and visits to program sites will be scheduled to take place over the next three months. 4. Learn and SERVE Community-based Grants (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC sent out Notice of Funds Available postcards and hosted two conference calls to assist potential applicants with the application process. As a result, the MCSC received a total of five renewal applications and six new program applications. A staff review of all renewal applications and a peer and staff review of the new applications were conducted. Renewal applicants were provided with feedback sheets that included lists of both strengths and areas for improvement. Renewal applicants were given time to respond in writing to the areas for improvement. After conducting a peer and staff review, the MCSC staff recommends: 1. Renewal funding for Volunteer Muskegon, City of Portage/Portage Senior Center, MSU 4-H Foundation for MSU Extension 4-H Youth Programs of Oakland County, and Onekama Consolidated School Education Foundation. The four renewal applicants responded satisfactorily to the issues raised during the staff review. 2. Provisional funding for Youth Volunteer Corps of Alpena County. Due to illness, the renewal applicant was granted a three-day extension for responding to their feedback. The areas for improvement listed during the staff review were not of critical concern and the staff is confident that the weaknesses will be addressed by April 1, 1999. 7 �·- 3. That the new applications from the three Lake Huron Area Council #265, Boy Scouts of America programs, the Grand Ledge D.A.R.E./Grand Ledge Skate Committee, Camp Fire Boys and Girls Wathana Council, and EightCAP, Inc. not receive funding. Based on the approval of these recommended applications, $83,527 of the $157,500 FY99 Learn and SERVE-Michigan (CBO) budget will be expended. Our goal is to expend 100% of the available federal funds. Accordingly, a second round of grants will be made available to allocate the remaining $73,973 and any 1998 carry-over. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the staff recommendations for all programs. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. Motion passes unanimously. Ms. Salas talked about the work she has been doing with Karen Todorov of the Michigan Department of Education. Ms. Salas stated that they had been working on a strategic plan and there would be a Service-Learning Leadership Council meeting at Sugar Loaf Resort which would involve Michigan Department of Education, Council of Michigan Foundations, W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the MCSC. Mter this meeting there will be a policy planning meeting in May to discuss the development of policies for the long-term sustainability of service-learning in Michigan. B. Outreach and Fund Development - Lindy Lange 1. Sixth Annual Governor's Service Awards Ms. Lange announced that the Sixth Annual Governor's Service Awards dinner will be May 17, 1999 at the Novi Hilton, in conjunction with Grantmak:ers-Grantseekers. Ameritech has graciously agreed to sponsor this year's dinner and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan will sponsor the reception. 2. Legislative Breakfast Briefing Packet The legislative event "Celebrating Michigan's Volunteers" will be April22, 1999 and will start at 7:30a.m. at the Lansing Center. Ms. Lange explained that the purpose of this event is designed to provide an opportunity for the MCSC and others to share information on the state of volunteerism in Michigan with the Michigan Legislature. 3. ConnectMichigan Campaign Ms. Lange gave an update on the ConnectMichigan campaign and stated that the latest newsletter was mailed to the MCSC database in January. At the present time there are 60 ConnectMichigan billboards posted throughout Michigan. Ms. Lange stated that the ConnectMichigan campaign will be working on some radio PSA which should ready in about a month. Ms. Lange announced that the campaign will be highlighted at the legislative event on April22, 1999. The MCSC in conjunction with the Volunteer 8 �Centers of Michigan will be taking the ConnectMichigan display to the Points of Light Foundation conference in Las Vegas in June. C. Finance and Administration - Garry Gross 1. Budget FY 1998-99 - New Format Mr. Gross explained his memo and revised financial statement contained in the commissioner packet. Mr. Gross stated that the one-page sheet totals up all the different funding sources to offer a simple one-page recap. Mr. Gross stated that an updated Comparative Financial Statement that includes a breakdown of funds with dates was passed out today for commissioner review and comments. Mr. Gross explained that the Commission general format has changed because it is based upon the standard State of Michigan budget reporting system. Mr. Gross stated that the MCSC has filled six positions (2-Michigan's AmeriCorps Coordinators, Training and TA coordinator, Communities of Promise Coordinator, 2-support staff) and only has two vacancies left to fill (Director of Programs and Outreach Coordinator). Mr. Gross updated the Commission regarding the two vacancies within the MCSC and explained that the process is going through the Civil Service system. 2. Grants Monitoring - Site Visits Mr. Gross stated that the MCSC has entered into an agreement with an outside vendor to perform a complete round of fiscal site visits to all our AmeriCorps sites. Due to the amount of time that a staff member would have to devote to this large undertaking, it was determined that it was in the best interest of the MCSC to contract it out and have them done in a short time period. Based upon the results of this test trial, we may look at utilizing a contractor for the financial monitoring of all our grants. Mr. Gross stated that he would still perform fiscal visits to sites encountering problems. 3. Michigan Auditor General - On-Site Audit Mr. Gross stated that the internal audit on the Michigan's AmeriCorps program was going well. The auditors are finalizing their work in our office and the MCSC should be receiving the internal memorandum with their findings within a month. Mr. Gross explained that this audit will help the MCSC because it will have give us a clear understanding of what systems have worked and what have not worked and provide an opportunity to change the systems to better serve the MCSC needs. VI. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of his Executive Director's Report which was included in their commissioner packet. Mr. Caldwell explained that his report was broken up into two parts which include: Making It Happen and Insights on the Vision.

In the Insights on the Vision section, Mr. Caldwell explains that the MCSC needs to develop common principles and build a plan for sustainability not only for the MCSC but also for the field. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC needs to develop a plan on how to position the MCSC to deal with the loss of Governor Engler and Chairperson Engler as the Governor is serving his last term. Mr. Caldwell introduced the MCSC staff, new and old, and gave a brief description of their roles with the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell talked about the new standing committees that will be developed under the MCSC and how commissioners will then be working even closer with the MCSC staff. VII.

Chaired by Michigan's First Lady, Michelle Engler, the nonpartisan Michigan Community Service Commission promotes, supports and administers national and community service programs and various volunteer efforts across the great state of Michigan. Co ... :... A;j}~:;r~t:~" o :Federal, State and Private Support c<;x, ,~~~§ic was ~~gnat~? the state's lead agency for administering programs under "~X-..

Catalyst Convener Broker MCSC acts as a catalyst for positive community change that W<)f~,~~ard stimulating innovative programs that meet real community needs rvi ; a convener of diverse individuals and groups toward building co~,ity through shared efforts toward common goals; and serves as a broker of ideas and resources in a way that encourages collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development in communities across Michigan. This document lays out a four-year plan to ensure that this mission and philosophy remains intact. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page I �Summary The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has grown in scope and breadth since its creation in 1991. With this growth comes an ever increasing amount of responsibility for coordination, promotion and recognition of service and volunteer efforts throughout Michigan and the nation. MCSC began as, and to this day remains, a leader in the service and volunteer movement. Even with the rapid growth of programming, promotion and coordination and, in some cases, concerned that some MCSC . Nonprofit organizations do not thrive the profit sector. In short, and grow in an environment of nec:e~sarv MCSC, like so many other nonprofit mechanisms for sustainability due to some systems and inq})f!qJlate size and ' ,,'), ';,~~i diversify of MCSC'sfunding base; and inadequate ihwestment in To overcome these barriers and to best position MCSC effectiveness, the MCSC staff proposes that over the next four yeats: • MCSC work to maintain and enhance its leadership role at the local, state and national levels by emphasizing its role as a catalyst, convener, and broker; • MCSC work to reduce its overwhelming dependency on federal funding through both friend- and fundraising efforts; Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 2 �• MCSC restructure itself to: - emphasize programming, administration and outreach as its primary areas for action, - create a management structure that ensures focused efforts, efficiency, accountability, leadership and professional growth, - build a system of command and control functions; • MCSC commit to develop a process to determine the organization's progress, effectiveness, utility to the service and volunteerism field, and determine if a statewide commission on service and volunteerism is necessary, and; • If found to be necessary, MCSC will develop and implement a plan to ~stablish MCSC' s permanent physical and administrative home; ·i'~~:: ; · ' to a more diverse and stable funding base, and take on the assessing the state of: .

Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 3 �Background What is Michigan doing in the areas of youth development and volunteerism? That was the question many organizations were asking themselves almost eight years ago. To answer these questions, the nation, and especially Michigan began a series of dialogues. A national movement driven by the National and Community Service Act of 1991 and by the focussed attention of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on issues of youth, brought forth a series of meetings, held during the late spring and early summer of 1991. These meetings called togetherrepresentatives of K-12 education, Higher Education, community-based and \ · ·zfttions to begin a dialogue on youth and youth service programs some now familiar Ofl~antza:qpp~--l'.'Uc:m!~an Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Forum (now Association) Council.~'PMfphigan Foundations.

Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 4 �MCSC's frrst executive director, Diana V. Rodriguez Algra, continued the coalition building that was so evident in MCSC' s forming. Organizations from across the state were convened to help form and implement Michigan's state application to the CNCS and the state's charge to MCSC for promotion and coordination of service and volunteerism in Michigan. MCSC garnered regular and continuous input and support from a broad coalition including: ACTION, Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), K-12 Service Learning Center, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), ~:Yolunteer Centers of Michigan. Through a number Detroit, United Way of of task forces made uti\~fth . ;-.::~/>"/;<' ' ' r~!~~tioned organizations and a small yet effective staff, MCSC submitted a successffi. }~ries of a_nplic~ti6ns to CNCS.

This infrastructure, facilitated by MCSC, effectively responded to radical changes in federal legislation, frequent tum-over in leadership of coalition organizations, and priority shifts in corporate and foundation supporters.

MCSC: • manage on of the nation's largest portfolios of AmeriCorps and Learn & Serve programs. • developed some of the few state government-operated AmeriCorps programs through the Family Independence Agency and the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps. • is one of a handful of state commissions with state appropriated funds to promote, develop and coordinate volunteer organizations across the state. commissioners represented on national volunteer and youth6 ......

Page 7 �MCSC's Critical Issues It would be easy for MCSC and its supporters to become complacent, but this is a dangerous time. MCSC enjoys the firm support of Governor John Engler and many members of the current legislature. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation supported MCSC even before its creation in 1991, through a grant to Youth Service America (YSA). This funding supported the series of meetings that served as policy planning meetings out of which grew the MCSC. The C.S. Mott Foundation supported MCSC's first youthoriented comm~nity-based technical assistance programs-Technical Assistance Program ·. ~ryjce. The number of MCSC national service programs has doubled ~:~:>it in sizeJro· y • s origi~~}:Ns portfolio in 1993.

Kellogg Foundation have started to more reflective of their new leadership. Ameritech, MCSC' s larg~tfor-profit supporter, is going through merger plans with a non-Michigan corporation which may, or may not share Ameritech's strong local philanthropic philosophy. Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 8 �This evolution of organizations may or may not play in MCSC's favor. CNS and AmeriCorps specifically, started out and remains in large part, associated strongly with the current presidential administration. This is a double edged sword with potentially lethal consequences given the current national political climate. CNS funding has become a partisan issue and is in constant turmoil and question. This situation threatens MCSC' s very existence given its large portfolio of high impact and quality national service programs and the reliance on federal support for their survival. Hence, all the positive assets that helped build the. MCSC into what it is today can quickly turn into liabilities. ·· · erously over-reliant on federal funding for administrative and /j- ~;:~'\:?:/ pro~r~~c suppo ver 85% ofMCSC's budget can be traced directly back to CNS. ·.~.a service and the focus Ollf:, · ·.· ',.i· :};t:~:- ,-', ~,,, for the survival and~~h strong supporter of CNS' s agenda including national tll+~gs done."

Michigan Community Service Commission Development and Transition Plan Page 9 �If MCSC is found to be a necessary part of Michigan's service and volunteer infrastructure, MCSC must develop a strategy to address the aforementioned critical issues-finding a stable administrative and physical home for MCSC that affords it meaningful access to the public, not-for-profit and profit sectors of our society; developing a diverse funding base; and maintaining a strong, non-partisan leadership role in Michigan's service and volunteer field.

Capitol Ave. George W. Romney Bldg ., 4th Floor Lansing , Michigan 48913 Telephone {517) 335-4295 FAX {517) 373-4977 In its premier year, Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) has proven to be an effective strategy for developing sustainable endowments in support of community problem solving through volunteerism. Twenty-one grants were awarded in the initial round to twenty-one agencies for a total of $936,500. In addition, $28,500 has been requested by grantees in the second round of awards.(*Please send second bullet point below.) In the end, it is expected that $965,000 will have been awarded through this state initiative, meaning that a minimum of $1,930,000 will have been raised locally and endowed for the purpose of creating and sustaining volunteer resource centers. Since awarding grants in February, we have learned a lot about how to improve and streamline the grant process. Over the course of the last few months we have been soliciting, both formally and informally, ideas and recommendations from grantees and statewide partners like the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, United Way of Michigan and the Council of Michigan Foundations. The following recommendations were gleaned from our many conversations with the field, as well as lessons learned by the MCSC staff. MCSC staff would like to present the following changes for your review and approval. • VIG is funded through state dollars. In FY 98, the grants were issued in February, four months after the fiscal year (state fiscal calendar runs October 1 -September 30). This creates some problems in ensuring that all monies are dispersed by the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, the staff would like to recommend that the grant start dates be moved back one month every year until they coincide with the start of the fiscal year (October). If this recommendation is approved the application process would need to be adjusted. The staff would have the VIG RFP available in early October. The applications would be reviewed in November and presented to the Commission at the December meeting. 06 -. �FY 1999 Volunteer Investment Grant • In FY 98, VIG recipients were allowed to request a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $75,000. During the first round of applications in FY 98, MCSC awarded $936,500. MCSC felt it was important to award the full one million dollars, therefore we issued a second RFP to existing grantee. The only stipulation of the second application process was that the grantee may not request more than the $75,000 maximum. If they requested the full $75,000 in the first application, they were not eligible to apply in the second round of funding. Through the second RFP we will award $28,500 bringing the total FY98 awards to $965,000. Unfortunately due to the cap of $75,000 one of the current grantees that applied for the full $75,000 and had already generated the entire 2 to 1 match wanted to apply for additional funds. Had the maximum amount of the grant been larger than $75,000, they would have been eligible to apply. Therefore, in FY99 the staff proposes that the minimum amount remains $25,000 but the maximum be raised to $100,000 thus allowing agencies to request higher funding levels and improving the possibility of spending the ,~:J>ne-million dollar state allocation. • In pool of applicants and to keep the pool diversified, the staff recomrlfeftijs that a ' : be placed on programs that apply for the maximum amount of the gran((j three co ·ve years.

Option one is to retain the current match requirements. Option two is to lower the match to $1 to $1. Option three would be a $1.5 to $1 .

Capitol Ave . George W. Romney Bldg ., 4th Floor Lans ing , Michigan 48913 Telephone (517) 335-4295 FAX (517) 373-4977 TO: The Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee FROM: Angelia D . Salas, Program Development Michigan Community Service Commission RE: FY2000 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant Recommendations DATE: November 1, 1999 Coordinator:/,~ 04/) ~- Background Information The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) offers $1 million annually for Michigan ' s Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Grants are available to community-based, nonprofits that serve as the primary local clearinghouse of volunteers. The Michigan' s VIG meets three goals: 1) The grants support and increase volunteerism and community service initiatives in local commwlities. 2) The grants leverage local funds for pem1anent agency endowments housed within a community foundation that will help sustain the activities of a conmmnity volunteer resource center. 3) The grants encourage, facilitate and enhance coJ1m1unity partnerships that support volunteerism. In order to accomplish these goals, each Michigan ' s VIG recipient will be required to raise funds based on a 1: 1 or 1.5:1 local match, dependent on when, and if, they were funded previously. These funds are deposited in an endowment with the local community foru1dation. They will also be required to organize and implement a nlinimum of two community-wide service projects designed to demonstrate measurable community results and that show the value of the Michigan ' s VIG. Lastly, they are required to partner with a minimum of four community-based organizations in order to meet the proposed volunteerism goals. Application Process For FY2000, the MCSC outreach strategy for the Michigan ' s VIG consisted of targeted outreach to agencies most likely to be or to know which agencies might serve as the primary local clearinghouse for volunteers. On September 13 , 1999 applications for the 2000 Michigan 's Volunteer Investment Grant were mailed to Michigan's Volunteer Centers, Community .§! �Foundations, United Ways, Michigan Campus Compact, MCSC grantees, MSU Extension offices and members of the Michigan's Legislature. On October 27, 1999 the MCSC hosted two technical assistance conference calls to assist potential applicants in determining whether the Michigan's VIG was appropriate for their agency, if the FY2000 grant timeline fit their organizational development strategies and to assist them with their proposal development. Following those calls, 30 Intent to Apply Forms were received. Individual calls were made to each applicant that was from a county from which we received multiple applicants. Potential applicants were given one-on-one assistance and were instructed about the Michigan's VIG regulations prohibiting multiple applicants from a county. Seventeen applications requesting a total of$ 796,725 were received on October 15, 1999. On October 26, 1999 the applications were reviewed by teams of peer reviewers. From the peer review, fifteen applicants were recommended for further review by the MCSC staff. The MCSC reviewed all the applications on October 27, 1999. Applicants will be provided feedback sheets that will include lists of strengths, areas for improvement and necessary revisions. Applicants have until November 16, 1999 to respond to all of the revision requirements. Following the staff review of the revisions, staff will send final notification to each applicant. Staff Recommendations Following the MCSC review, the MCSC staff recommends: 1. Renewed funding at the requested amount for the Jackson Nonprofit Support Center. This agency has completed their 1999 Michigan's VIG fundraising goals. 2. New funding at the requested amount for United Way of Chippewa County, Volunteer Impact, Hillsdale County Volunteer Resource and Support Center, United Way of Saginaw County Community Volunteer Center, and United Way of Allegan County. 3. Provisional funding for Volunteer Muskegon, Dickinson County Area Community Foundation, Volunteer Center ofNorthwest Michigan, Volunteer Center of Barry County, Volunteer Center of Otsego County, Volunteer and Information Services, Volunteer Center of the Tri-Cities, Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center, Volunteer Action Center. Once these current grantees have completed their 1999 fundraising requirements and FY2000 revisions, contracts will be finalized and issued at the requested amounts. 4. That the applicants not recommended by the peer and staff reviews (Volunteer Center of MidMichigan and United Way ofBay County) not receive funding at this time. Peer and staff reviewers felt that not only were the applications insufficiently developed, their organizational development issues appeared to be more pressing. Reviewers felt that the Michigan's VIG requirements were not consistent with their developmental issues at this time. Over the coming weeks, MCSC staff will work with these applicants to ensure that they are prepared for future Michigan's VIG funding. 5. That the MCSC staffbe allowed to offer the remaining funds ($153,275) in a second round of Michigan's VIG funding. FY2000 grantees will be encouraged to apply for supplemental funds up to the $100,000 maximum. Applicants not approved for funding in Round I, applicants from previous years and other interested organizations will also be invited to apply. �2000 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant Staff Recommendation Chart Recommendation #1 The staff recommends the following applicants for renewedfunding at the re!l_uested amount: Applicant Jackson Nonprofit Support Center Match Required Funding Recommended 1.5:1 $75,000 Recommendation #2 The staff recommends thefollowinJ:; applicantsfor new jjmding at the requested amount: Applicant Match Required Funding Recommended Hillsdale County Volunteer Resource and Support Center 1:1 $50,000 United Way of Allegan County 1:1 $50,000 United Way of Chippewa County 1:1 $25,000 United Way of Saginaw County Community Volunteer Center 1:1 $40,000 Volunteer Impact 1:1 $100,000 Recommendation #3 The staff recommends provisional funding for the current grantees: Applicant Match Required Funding Recommended Dickinson County Area Community Foundation 1.5:1 $30,000 Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center 1.5:1 $50,000 Volunteer Action Center of Midland County 1.5:1 $100,000 Volunteer and Information Services 1.5:1 $25,000 Volunteer Center ofBarry County 1.5:1 $51,725 Volunteer Center ofNorthwest Michigan 1.5:1 $75,000 Volunteer Center of Otsego County 1.5:1 $25,000 Volunteer Center ofthe Tri-Cities 1.5:1 $25,000 Volunteer Muskegon 1.5:1 $25,000 Recommendation #4 The staff recommends that the following applicants not be approved for funding at this time: Applicant II Recommended Funding United Way ofBay County $0 Volunteer Center ofMid-Michigan $0 Total~725 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Capitol Ave. George W. Romney Bldg., 4th Floor Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone {517) 335-4295 FAX (517) 373-4977 Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the MCSC Executive Committee FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Future Direction of the MCSC DATE: March 23, 2000 ~~ The staff of the MCSC have been working to address several issues related to our future including those raised by the Commissioners at our Fall retreat and implications of the Alliance development. We believe that we have made significant progress on developing a general plan for how the MCSC should modify its goals and operating principles to position the MCSC to effectively respond to our ever changing environment.. The staff would like your input on these four general recommendations before presenting them to the full commission at a future meeting. MCSC as a Grantmaker The MCSC should focus on its role and expertise as a governmental agency that utilizes its vast financial and human resources to effectively, proactively and efficiently disburse public funds to Michigan communities to enhance their ability to solve problems through service. This will require a fundamental shift in our organizational thinking. No longer will the MCSC be "all things to all people, places and things." Much like a philanthropic institution, the MCSC will seek to find the most effective way to expend (invest) its financial resources for the public good. This method would include: • leveraging other funds in support of volunteer efforts; • investing in long-term solutions that can have positive effects in perpetuity; • setting priorities (what social issues should be targeted) for annual or long-term investments in service and volunteerism; • allocating resources for demonstration projects from which the public may learn important lessons and develop more creative solution, but which will have a life outside of theMCSC; �• evaluating the outcome and results of MCSC investments based on its own interests rather than those of a specific program (i.e. measuring the impact of National Service programs in Michigan based on the Corporation for National Service's [CNS] interests); and • defining sustainability and expectations for all MCSC grantees (What type of grantmaker do we want to be? When has our investment been enough and successful?). MCSC as the Standard Setting Mechanism for Government Sponsored Service and Volunteerism The MCSC has been designated by the Governor of Michigan and the Michigan Legislature as the state's lead agency on service and volunteerism. While this mandate is not written in the statute that formed the MCSC, it is the widely shared interpretation of the MCSC' s role as stipulated in the annual analysis of the MCSC' s budget by the House and Senate Fiscal Agencies and the Governor's Office. To date, this role has been relegated to the MCSC's role as a fiscal and administrative agent of state allocated CNS funds. The MCSC staff recommend that the MCSC annually publish a standards policy for quality service and volunteerism in Michigan that would be developed by the field through focus groups, surveys and published best practices. Many of these standards exist in various forms, but are not annually examined nor universally enforced. This standard setting role would require that the MCSC be charged with helping other state agencies examine their current volunteer management systems and modify them to comply with the state accepted standard(s). Over time this process could lead to a publication (Michigan Standards for High Quality Service and Volunteer Programs) that could even help to define the lexicon of the field to provide more standardized language (for example, distinguishing between community service and courtmandated community service). In the short-term, the MCSC would focus on its current funding relationships including CNS programs and Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Ultimately, the MCSC would be charged with providing guidance to all state sponsored volunteer programs including those administered by other state departments including the Department of Education, Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Natural Resources, Family Independence Agency, and Office of Services to the Aging. While those departments would still administer and operate their own volunteer programs, the MCSC would be responsible for ensuring that the programs meet the basic Michigan standards. MCSC as the Michigan Governmental Lead Agency for Service and Volunteerism As mentioned previously, the MCSC is often referred to as the state's lead agency on service and volunteerism, but it is not structured in a way that empowers it to fulfill that charge. Currently, the MCSC administers approximately $5 million of the total $12 million federal (CNS) funds for Michigan and only $1 million of the well over $11 million state funds allocated for various state agencies to advance volunteerism. Yet, at the same time, the MCSC is often seen as the agency that has some part in how those funds are expended. Such is clearly not the case now. Hence, the MCSC needs to help define what it means to be the state's lead agency for service and volunteerism. �Staff recommend that the MCSC work toward helping leverage, maximize and consolidate the state's $23 million investment in service and volunteerism. Whether that means forming a new department (Michigan Department of Volunteer and Community Services) that brings together the current programs under one umbrella and helps to more effectively focus resources; or if that means merely hosting a discussion forum annually to set funding priorities, the staff are not yet certain. Staff are certain that the current service and volunteer mechanisms are neither intertwined nor focused. By the same token, staff have made tremendous strides in forming effective and productive partnerships with nearly all the state's service and volunteer programs. The formation of the Alliance is a true testament to the ability of the MCSC to build effective coalitions based on mutual trust and respect. However, just in the aforementioned examples, there are currently five different state departments running parallel service and volunteer grantmaking, technical assistance, supervision, and monitoring process simultaneously. That means that five different, yet similar financial, monitoring, auditing, training, and support systems all within the State of Michigan. MCSC staff recommend that the related state agencies, the Governor and the Michigan Legislature reexamine this situation and determine if reorganization is warranted. MCSC's Promotion, Marketing and Research of Government Sponsored Service and Volunteer Efforts The members of the MCSC clearly stated that they wanted to see more promotion of the MCSC and its programs to the public. This has been a chronic challenge for staff. On the one hand the MCSC has prided itself on its ability and willingness to engage in and form non-territorial alliances and partnerships. Staff have interpreted this to also mean continuing to display a healthy amount of modesty with regard to self-serving public accolades which may have led to a lack of public awareness around the good work of the MCSC. In addition, the MCSC has always stressed local empowerment and local control which has encouraged staff to provide more public recognition to programs and individuals rather than to the MCSC itself. On the other hand, the MCSC has worked to play up its efforts through the ConnectMichigan Campaign, Michigan's AmeriCorps programs and various national days of service including Make A Difference Day. While all tremendously successful, they have not raised the profile of the MCSC and its grantees. MCSC staff recommend adopting the model traditionally used by state departments like the Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH). This model stresses public awareness around issues, facts and desired behaviors all promoted through traditional forms of communication (TV, print and radio ads) with a tag line that identifies the sponsoring state agency. In addition, staff recommend that the MCSC and its work be marketed much as MDPH does through research and data dissemination. In other words, the MCSC would research and publish data about the health, benefits and need for service and volunteerism in Michigan communities (of course, the MCSC would also research the effectiveness of its own programs). This research would be packaged as user guides and annual publications that could be used by other state and private human service agencies to target their resources and focus their programming. Again, the MCSC would disseminate the information and be credited for its creation and publication. This model also aligns well with the aforementioned goal around MCSC not directly delivering services, but rather as a grantmaker, it focuses its efforts and resources on helping others to solve their problems locally. This particular model also fits well with our plans for the Alliance as it could be the mechanism by which much of the public awareness tasks are completed and the MCSC (as a grantmaker) can provide the financial resources to make it happen. �What's Next? The MCSC staff would like your input. Do you feel that our assumptions and proposed solutions are the right ones? If not, why? Clearly, even if we are all in agreement that these are the proper goals to adopt to institutionalize service and volunteerism in Michigan, there is a great deal of work to be done to determine the costs, feasibility and resistance points of such a plan. However, as staff have pointed out with regard to the development of the Alliance concept, we must move while we have the momentum and the initiative. That time is now. The people to get it done are currently at the table and are in positions of great strength. It is staffs recommendation that we should seize the opportunity while it is still within our grasp. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ms. Julie Cummings and Mr. Terry Pruitt were the members participating in the call. Meeting Rescheduling The April 27, 2000 Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) meeting has been rescheduled for May 10, 2000 and will be held in the Michigan Room of the George W. Romney Building in Lansing at noon. The Governor's Service Awards will be held on May 18, 2000 at the Lansing Center as previously scheduled. Executive Committee Report Participants reviewed the information related to the Alliance and offered suggestions that should be incorporated into the planning documents of the Alliance. 1. Draft Bylaws - The bylaws appear well developed in most of the areas . The participants expressed a desire to broaden the number and types of members to the board to provide more representation to organizations and constituents not joining in the Alliance organization (ie. United Way, Council of Michigan Foundations, faith-based institutions, the Governor etc.) Also, the participants needed clarity on how members of the board could be represented-can a member send a proxy? 2. Dissolution - The participants agreed that the Dissolution article should stipulate that any of the Founding Trustee organizations may withdraw from the Alliance, but they take with them only those assets they had prior to joining the Alliance. All principle and proceeds of the endowment would remain with the Alliance. �Board Development Report Participants agreed with the recommendations articulated in the Board Development report and suggested that it be brought before the full commission. Staff Recommendations for Change Future Directions of the MCSC - Participants expressed a concern that the recommendations by staff appeared to explain how the MCSC might continue itself rather than asking, "We [MCSC] have been working for eight years and this is what we have done. Now, we need to see if there is a need for us to continue and if so, how." Mr. Caldwell explained that the staff recommendations were meant to be an examination of mission, purpose and need, but realized that the document before the participants did not accurately reflect that thinking. Mr. Caldwell will modify the document before presenting before the full membership of the MCSC. Other more specific comments were offered targeting staff recommendations for marketing, standard setting and collaboration building. 1 . Marketing and Research - Mr. Caldwell explained that staff recommend that the MCSC change its "marketing for the field approach" to take on the task of marketing changes in behavior. Utilizing the Michigan Department of Health model, the MCSC would research individuals' behaviors, analyze the data to determine how best to market the data to make for positive behavior changes in specific populations (for example, youth involved in violent activities). Participants suggested going to existing data sources and institutions collecting data on targeted behaviors and partnering to create a marketing strategy. 2. Standard Setting - Participants expressed a concern that what staff may be proposing may become bureaucratic and regulatory. They suggested that the MCSC convene dialogues around best practices. Mr. Caldwell further explained that the intent was for the state and federal sponsored volunteer programs to have a "gold standard" for service and volunteerism in Michigan including modifying the lexicon of the public to recognize the accepted terminology of the field (ie. community service vs. court-mandated community service). Participants suggested that a conference, called by the Governor, might help bring the state governmental agencies working in the volunteer arena together and encourage them to share best practices and forge stronger partnerships. Mr. Caldwell stated that for any of these recommendations to work, more resources would be needed. Participants suggested that the staff seek to leverage existing resources from agencies and organizations conducting parallel types of tasks. The meeting ended at 10:45 a.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Capitol Ave. George W. Romney Bldg., 4th Floor Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone (517) 335-4295 FAX (517) 373-4977 Executive Director Kyle Caldwell MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Board Development Committee FROM: Dorothy A. Johnson, Chairperson, Board Development Committee RE: Report and Recommendations for Consideration DATE: March 23, 2000 As articulated in my letter to the Chair, I will be stepping down as a member of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) effective May 1, 2000. There are a number of recommendations I would like to make prior to my departure and while still an active member of the MCSC. Board Development Committee My departure will leave a vacancy in the leadership of the Board Development Committee and I would respectfully recommend that Mr. Terry Pruitt, Vice Chair of the MCSC, serve as interim Chair of the Board Development Committee. There are also a couple of outstanding prospects for MCSC vacancies that require the Board Development Committee's attention. 1. Mr. Monahan, Regional Vice President for Allstate Insurance Company. Kyle is meeting with Mr. Monahan to ask if he would serve in Ms. Honaker's place. 2. Mr. Green, Government Relations Director for Pharmacia!Upjohn. Mr. Pruitt and Mrs. Lenz will be meeting with him to assess his interest level. There is also a need for the MCSC to carefully examine its leadership in light of the development of the Volunteer Allian~e and the change in the Executive Offices of the state and the nation. These changes could threaten the work of the MCSC and its ability to remain a leader in the field and neutral in the public's perception of its political composition. Given these potential threats, I suggest that we convert threats into opportunities by working to appoint members to the MCSC who are equally as admired as the members who will soon be stepping down over the next two years due to term limits including myself, Dr. Orosz, and Ms. Cummings. 06 PFUNfeOOI< IIECYCUDPA?ER �At the same time I would like to suggest that we set in place certain mechanisms that allow us to maintain contact with our dedicated commissioners and highlight the MCSC's tremendous legacy. Therefore, I would like to make the following recommendations: 1. 2. 3. The MCSC create the MCSC Leadership Council which will serve an Emeritus Board for the MCSC. All MCSC members in good standing at the end of their completed term of service would be appointed to the Leadership Council. The Leadership Council would be convened annually at the Governor's Service Awards and at other times to seek their advice and counsel. Members of the Leadership Council remain on the Council until such time as they choose to resign so long as they remain in good standing. The MCSC begin to appoint to the Leadership Council, all those Commissioners whose terms would expire on 10/00. Since we enacted term limits on all members excluding the Chair, Mrs. Engler would not necessarily be included in the first class of the Leadership Council. However, in speaking with Mrs. Engler indirectly, I know that there is a desire to move the MCSC Chair position to someone equally respected, but who is not as tied to a state and national political figure, thus insulating the MCSC from political changes. Since the goal is to keep the MCSC seen as a neutral party in the service arena, I would suggest that the MCSC consider appointing Dr. Russell Mawby to the Chair position. Russ is known for his dedication to youth and service through his work at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and at Michigan State University. Russ has built a solid reputation for working in a nonpartisan way to lead organizations. He is also stepping down from the board of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation this year and will may be available and willing to work with the MCSC. As always, I remain available for any assistance the MCSC may need. Thank you. 2 DR.\FT -- Knt for P.uhlk Dislrihution � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution institutions of higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy and volunteerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created by Executive Order the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) to administer public funds to coordinate and promote service and volunteerism. Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the MNA. These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership. Under new leadership, the MNA (and its affiliates) and the MCSC have made a concerted effort for a more intentional and effective partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivators- the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and the potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would support common functions of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed "The Alliance" for purposes of conversation, has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official stages of planning have begun. Purpose: The purpose of "The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, ''The Alliance" would administer programming and technical assistance currently administered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. "The Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An endowment fund would be created to support "The Alliance" which would secure its existence in perpetuity. 1 �Funding: The current vision is to secure $20 million in endowment funds, which would consist of two funding streams: • State: It is being proposed that the State of Michigan create an endowment not to exceed $10 million to continue its commitment to volunteerism in our state. This endowment would be managed by a private foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $500,000 annually that would be allocated directly to "The Alliance" for administrative and program funding. • Private: An additional $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment, which would be placed into the private endowment. This additional $500,000 income would be expected to enhance "The Alliance" budget in Year two of its existence, bringing the annual budget of $1 million. Activity to Date • June 1999-"Serious" conversations between MNA and MCSC leadership begin. • July/August 1999-Seek general concept support form the Governor, Ms. Engler, MNA Chairperson, VCM Chairperson and MCSC Executive Committee. • September 1999-Proposal is brought to MCSC, MNA Board, VCM Advisory Committee, and MCC Executive Committee for feedback. • October/November 1999-Administrative and program structure is finalized, fund development plan outlined. • November 1999-Acquire legal feedback on the process. • December 1999-Plan is presented for preliminary approval to MCSC, MNA, VCM and MCC. • January 2000-MNA chair and President meet with Governor Engler and MCSC staff to discuss the State's role in the creation of the Alliance. • January 2000-MNA Executive Committee meets and empowers staff to start researching the options for the endowment and fund development plans. • January 2000-A committee of board members from MCC, VCM, MNA and MCSC is formed to start negotiations. • February 2000-Committee meets and charges staff to present a common mission and goal statements for the Alliance. • March 2000-Committee meets for second time and endorses the mission statement and goals and charges staff to develop a timeline, staff structure, bylaws and board development for their April meeting. • March 2000-Meet with MNA Board of Trustees, VCM Operating Council and MCC' s Programming and Planning Committee to discuss progress and address concerns. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
