Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave. Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335 -4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee (Julie Cummings, Michelle Engler, Dottie Johnson, Joel Orosz, Terry Pruitt) FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: General Information from Commissioners DATE: August 10, 1998 /(j{. In reviewing the general files , I found that Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has very little information about mo t of the members of the Commission. This shortage of data was highlighted during the creation of our most recent annual report. We were limited in our ability to describe the leadership of our organization because of the scarcity of data available. At our next meeting, I would like to suggest that we invite all commissioners to submit biographies, resumes and a photograph (head shot) of themselves for our general files. MCSC is mandated by law to ensure that the Commission is politically diverse. Specifically, the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, Sec. 178 (d), and the Michigan 1994 Public Act No. 219 Sec. 3 (5) state that the chief executive officer of a state (the governor) shall ensure, to the maximum extent possible, that the membership of any state commission is diverse with respect to race, ethnicity, age, gender, and disability characteristics. Not more than 50 percent of the voting members of a state commission. plus one additional member. may be from the same political party. Unfortunately, the only way MCSC can accurately and discretely determine political affiliation is to quietly poll our members. Given the proximity to the upcoming election coupled with the desire to avoid any perceptions of imposing undue influence, I do not think that this polling should take place at the September meeting. However, it will be important to ensure that we are in compliance with the aforementioned laws. I would like to suggest that we mention our need for political diversity at the September meeting. After that meeting we can distribute the Political Party Diversity Verification Form via mail requesting that it be returned at the December meeting. As always, thank you for your hard work, time, and attention to these and other matters of the Commission. �STATE OF MICHIGAN JOHN ENGLER, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION 111 George W. Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave . Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION POLITICAL PARTY DIVERSITY VERIFICATION FORM The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is a nonpartisan governmental agency charged by the Governor of Michigan to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. MCSC is supported by several financial sources including both state and federal funds. Therefore, MCSC must adhere to both federal and state requirements concerning the membership of the MCSC. These requirements, articulated in law, are noted below. ' National Community Service Trust Act of 1993, Sec. 178 (d), and Michigan 1994 Public ActNo. 219 Sec. 3 (5) state: The chief executive officer of a state (the governor) shall ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that the membership of the state commission for the state is diverse with respect to race, ethnicity, age, gender, and disability characteristics. Not more than 50 percent of the voting members of a state commission. plus one additional member. may be from the same political party. MCSC must verify that it is in compliance with the laws noted above. MCSC will ensure that, to the extent possible, this information will remain confidential and that it will only be used in the aggregate to ensure that the MCSC membership is diverse and nonpartisan. All public MCSC documents will display this information anonymously and will not attribute a party affiliation to any individual commissioner.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell TO: S. Capitol Ave. Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee Julie Cummings, Michelle Engler, Dorothy Johnson, Joel Orosz, Terry Pruitt FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Summary of the August 18, 1998 Executive Committee Meeting DATE: August 21, 1998 Thank you for your active participation in the most recent meeting of the Executive Committee. Your feedback was very helpful and will help make for a productive September MCSC meeting. The following is a summary of our discussion. 1. Modifications to the Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) Procedures The Executive Committee reviewed the draft memo for VIG modifications. They agreed with the rationale for most of the modifications, but would like to change some of the wording to ensure that VIG meets both its programming and financial objectives. Current recommendation #3: "If a program applies for the maximum amount of the grant for three consecutive years, then they would only be able to apply for the minimum amount in the fourth and following years that the grants are available." Modify recommendation #3 to read: 3. In addition to the current review criteria, the Request for Proposal will note that the overall pool of proposals will be evaluated on their overall strengths and on the proposal ' s ability to provide the greatest possible demographic and geographic diversity (i.e. rural/urban, median household income, etc.). �Executive Committee Meeting of August 18, 1998 Discussion around this point highlighted that MCSC may want to stay away from the restrictions that a cap might create and instead, look at demographic diversity or "balancing criteria." The Committee was concerned that if MCSC capped the number or size of grants it might have to return unexpended funds due to a lack of participation. This proposed modification offers the greatest flexibility and enables MCSC to ensure the quality for the V/Gs and the full utilization of the state appropriated funds. Current recommendation #5: "The match level be modified." Modify recommendation #5 to read: 5. Modify the current 2:1 match level to one of a sliding scale that takes into consideration the number of times an applicant has successfully applied for and operated a VIG. For example: • First year applicants would be required to raise $1 in local endowment funds for every $1 of State of Michigan funds requested through VIG. • Second year applicants would be required to raise $1.50 in local endowment funds for every $1 of State of Michigan funds requested through VIG. • Applicants in their third year and beyond would be required to raise $2 in local endowment funds for every $1 of State of Michigan funds requested through VIG. Finally, staff will need to examine how they ensure that one community foundation is not placed in the awkward position of hosting two competing VIG endowments for two separate agencies in the same "community." 2. MCSC's Four-Year Plan for Development & Transition Recommendations of MCSC Staff The committee members discussed that the draft copy of the MCSC Four-year Plan for Development and Transition provides a fairly accurate and concise historical context for the MCSC. The plan, however, fails to emphasize a rather critical component-collaboration. In fact, MCSC' s very existence is almost totally dependent on its relationships with other organizations and individuals. While collaboration is mentioned in parts of the plan, it does not "take centerstage" as might be expected. Collaboration should be moved to the very front of the plan and be a major topic. Committee members suggested that the plan should discuss how MCSC will strive not only to reinforce existing relationships, but also how it will seek out new and untraditional partnerships with charitable and other various profit and nonprofit organizations. These relationships need not always highlight MCSC as the focal point so long as "the good work gets done." Finally, the plan needs to celebrate and demonstrate its immense pride in the relationships it has forged and will use that pride to foster a new era of partnership development. Page 2 �Executive Committee Meeting of August 18, 1998 Committee members wanted to know what action(s) should be taken at the September meeting concerning the plan. The Executive Director explained that the staff would be working to further develop this plan to include a draft timeline and budget in preparation for commissioners to review at the September meeting. At the September meeting, staff will request feedback and suggestions on the principles articulated in the plan and ask that commissioners approve a final version at the December meeting. Unless commissioners express significant reservations concerning the plan, staff will continue to develop it while incorporating their feedback. The Executive Committee suggested that the Executive Director give a brief and concise summary of the plan highlighting the over arching goals and explaining the impact of this plan on the service and volunteerism field. Committee members also emphasized the need for a presentation of the historical context (much like the one articulated in the plan) as an orientation tool for other commissioners. 3. MCSC's Utilization of Commissioner Developing a Trusteeship Committee/Process Committee members strongly agreed that Mrs. Johnson's idea of forming a standing committee for membership development was a logical fit for MCSC. Committee members discussed that the current process (giving general suggestions to the Governor's Appointments Office) was insufficient. In addition, MCSC needs to review MCSC' s current appointments, each commissioner's assigned representation role (as required by both Michigan and federal laws), individual commissioners' participation levels, and each commission member's standing committee assignment(s). To facilitate this process, committee members decided to recommend the establishment of the Board Development Committee. This will be a standing committee of MCSC and will serve to build a "pipeline" for new commissioners, determine appropriate committee assignments, and deal with inactive members. There are no rules or procedures in the MCSC Operating Procedures nor in PA 219 that deal with the establishment of standing committees for MCSC. According to the MCSC minutes of the July 24, 1992, commissioners adopted the current standing committee structure as part of the MCSC Operating Procedures. Therefore, as set in precedent by the vote of the 1992 meeting, the Executive Committee recommends that, at the September, 1998 meeting, MCSC add the Board Development Committee to its current roster of standing committees. The membership shall include the Chairperson and at least one other Executive Committee member. Specific tasks and roles will be defined at a later date. The Executive Committee also discussed the general appointments process. Specifically, several commissioners' terms will expire October 1, 1998. The Board Development Committee will meet and make recommendations to the Governor as one of their first tasks. Page 3 �Executive Committee Meeting of August 18, 1998 4. MCSC Proposed Staffing Changes Based upon the recommendations of Commissioner Pruitt (while serving as Interim Executive Director) and the observations of the inner workings of the MCSC office by the current Executive Director, a three-division supervisory tier structure was set in place. This structure consists of three primary areas: Outreach and Fund Development, Programming, and Finance and Administration. These functions areas are not new to MCSC. In fact, you will find these three areas illustrated in previous versions of the MCSC organizational chart. However, placing someone with sole responsibility for each of the areas is new. In addition, there are increases to the number of staff that would support the work of MCSC. These proposed changes were reported in the latest Executive Director's Report. Some concern was raised about informing the full Commission prior to making such fundamental changes to the way the MCSC operates. The Executive Committee asked that the Executive Director present these changes and the rationale for making them at the September meeting. 5. Other Items ACE Program The Executive Committee discussed the progress of incorporating the ACE program into the MCSC portfolio. The Executive Director explained that the plan is still "in the works." However, Ms. J. Ellis has been assigned a number of additional MDE duties and since the ACE program is heavily dependent on her relationships with key organizations, the MCSC will continue to work with the Michigan Department of Education to find the right time and the right fit for the program. The Executive Director will deal with this issue at the September meeting in the Executive Director's Report. Make A Difference Day Members of the Executive Committee discussed a genuine interest in involving commissioners in a concentrated and quality volunteer service experience on Make A Difference Day. Commissioner Pruitt mentioned that it would be a genuine and significant way for MCSC to show that it "practices what it preaches." The Executive Director will work with Mrs. Lindy (Reurink) Lange to see if there are any key opportunities in the Lansing area on October 24, 1998 that would work to facilitate this interest.

Having spent the past seven months supervising the staff and agency operations, I believe now is the right time to consider structural changes to the organization. These suggested changes will improve administrative decision-making and overall program management. Your examination and feedback pertaining to the ideas presented here would be greatly appreciated. To begin, it is important to note that MCSC has a significant leadership role in supporting volunteer initiatives throughout the state as well as the nation. There is no question that MCSC continues to be recognized as one of the premiere state commissions in the country. The level of responsibility and credibility of the commission staff has also been heightened over the past few years. Funding for the commission has nearly tripled over the past five years and the number of programs being funded has expanded by more than 200% in the same period. I am pleased that we were able to upgrade the position of the Executive Director with Kyle's appointment. This recent action properly recognizes the level of responsibility and authority defined for this position. Secondly, it assures that we are in a much stronger competitive situation in our ability to secure a capable manager in the future should the need arise. Much of this rationale also applies to the other administrative employees on the commission staff. We've developed a very dedicated, competent administrative team with duties and responsibilities that, in my opinion, significantly exceed their current job classifications. Briefly stated, commission staff are required to have extensive knowledge of Corporation for National Service programs, federal rules and policies, grant writing skills, program management, technical Dow Corning Corporation l\Iidland, Michigan 48686-0994 Phone: (317) 496-lOOO �assistance and program evaluation, fiscal management skills, project design and planning skills and effective communication skills. In addition, these individuals must serve as a liaison to community organizations, provide training assistance to grantees, and conduct various workshops and conferences. The following recommendations seek to constructively address these matters. Recommendations In short, I have proposals that address two specific areas. First, I'm proposing a series of internal structural changes aimed at improving accountability and overall efficiency within the agency. Secondly, I've developed a series of recommendations for upgrading positions Gob levels) for commission administrative staff that provide a greater level of recognition for the work that is required by these individuals. Let me acknowledge right up front that I realize that much of what I'm proposing must be implemented within the State's Civil Service policies. My hope is that we, can find a way to move forward without having the civil service rules be so limiting that we not do what is in the best interest of strengthening the administrative leadership and organizational capacity of the MCSC. In the end, the citizens of the State ofMichigan will be the real winners by virtue of a more effective and capable staff to address their needs. One final point here, currently all administrative staff report directly to the Executive Director (Kyle Caldwell) with the exception of the Department 9 Analyst (Maria Garcia), who reports to Lindy Reurink (Department Analyst 12). All support staff now report to Mary Estrada (Executive Secretary II). The structural changes I'm proposing will substantially alter the lines of authority and accountability within the organization. These recommendations will most directly affect the commission's administrative personnel and only minimally affect the support staff Please review the following: 1). All MCSC programs and activities would be managed under one of three organizational components: A Community Services Component, Special Services Component; and a Administrative Services Component. The attached organization chart depicts the specific areas of activity/responsibility and staffing for each of the functional components. The Community Services Component would be headed by Paula Kaiser and would essentially be responsible for all programming activity involving external grantee organizations including management of the RFP process, federal, state, and foundation grant application development, program reporting systems, program coordination, etc. This part of the organization would have full responsibility for CNS AmeriCorps Programs, MI Cares, Volunteer Investment Grants, Learn & Serve, America Reads, Michigan Reads, ACE Program and America's Promise. The Special Services Component would assume responsibility for all internally driven projects and programming initiatives. This would specifically include all communication and public relations activities (i.e. MCSC Annual Report, Quarterly Newsletter, Special Publications, Web-page development and management), Governor's Service Awards, Make A Difference Day Activities, Grantee and Staff Technical Assistance Programs, Senior Advisory Council, and MYP AC. Lindy Reurink would manage the staff and activities in this area. 2 �Finally, the third organizational component would be focused around key administrative services including grant administration, fiscal planning and management, personnel liaison and procurement activities. This area would be headed by Gary Gross. The three managers of these functional components would report directly to the Executive Director as will the Executive Secretary II. All other personnel would be supervised by one of functional managers. Again, this is graphically depicted in the attached organization chart. 2). The following staff positions would be upgraded as delineated below: Please note that the first line lists current state civil service level and proposed new level. The second line identifies current internal job title and proposed title (in italics).

A grant request for continued funding has been submitted to the Kellogg Foundation. **Janet Ellis will transfer from Department of Education to MCSC. Department of Education funding will continue to support this position. BUDGET IMPACT The recommendations presented here need to be carefully analyzed for their potential impact on the current commission budget as well as the next fiscal year budget. However, my preliminary review of the agency's available and expected fiscal resources suggests that these changes can be accommodated without jeopardizing major program initiatives or important services. On average, position upgrades can be accomplished with a salary adjustment of between $5,000-7,000 (including retirement) in each situation. The majority of the funding for the proposed adjustments would come from federal funding sources. I'm specifically suggesting that the Executive Director prepared this analysis for review by the appropriate persons. 4 �Proposed Organization Chan Michigan Communitv Service Commission .

MCSC will host five overnight cleanup sites that will accommodate 400 Michigan's AmeriCorps staff and members participating in the annual Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. In addition, there are more than 5,500 volunteers scheduled to participate in one-day cleanup projects in 72 of Michigan's 83 counties. We estimate that 1,200 cubic yards of trash will be cleaned from 186,710 acres of public land. Overall, this project has been a wonderful experience; exposing MCSC to the realm of environmental volunteerism. We have been able to establish good relationships with DNR, DEQ, USFS and a multitude of environmental volunteer groups. A special thank you to Robin Lynn Schultheiss and other members of the Michigan Nonprofit Association for agreeing to facilitate the Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project trainings and to Dow Coming for supplying trash bags for the cleanup. 2 �IV. d.

To support this effort, MCSC has installed a 1-888 toll free phone number and has developed a series of Adopt A Part of Michigan posters and brochures. Hundreds of the posters and brochures have been sent to state parks, United States forest offices, state harbors, state marinas, Chambers of Commerce, Secretary of State Offices, local DNRIDEQ offices, etc. In addition, this fall the posters and brochures will also be sent to schools and higher education institutions. Jocelyn Yanda suggested that we send the poster to state department directors. c. America's Promise in Michigan- Paula Kaiser Ms. Kaiser discussed Calhoun County's launch.

Two separate rosters that list the commissioners in more detail including their addresses and phone numbers. 3. The official attendance account for each commissioner. 4. A copy ofPA 219 (the law that codifies MCSC and lists the required positions). 5. Our current conflict of interest form. At our next Executive Committee meeting (August 18, 1998) I would like to discuss: 1. The current status and make up of the Commission's membership. 2. The need for a more focused and tailored approach to removing inactive members while gaining new members for specific purposes and with specific skills and/or influence. 0.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Chairperson Michelle Engler Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director /);(_ RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: November 12, 1998 This month's Executive Director's Report will have a "good news/bad news" theme. First, the good news. Michigan retains two of its greatest cheerleaders for service and volunteerism in the recently re-elected Governor John Engler and First Lady Michelle Engler. Our state can look forward to maintaining its leader status in empowering individuals to serve each other through an ethic of service. Now the bad news (for Michigan anyway). On January 1, 1999 Ms. Paula Kaiser, Director of Programs for the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), will be leaving us to work for the Association of State Service Commissions (ASSC) headed by its newly appointed executive director, Mr. Frank Dirks. Ms. Kaiser will be working on member services for ASSC and will be moving back to her home state of Indiana. We will miss her energy and wisdom, but we should all be encouraged that Michigan will be well represented as another of its own goes to work for a national organization that serves the field of volunteerism. Consequently, I will be playing a more direct role in the programming area as we search for a replacement for the Director of Programming. The MCSC will be conducting a national search over the next several months to fill this positi9n. The remainder of this report highlights the progress of the MCSC, by department, over the past 30 days. Outreach and Fund Development • The Board Development Committee will be meeting on November 16, 1998 at the MCSC offices. A reminder, all recommendations for MCSC membership should be addressed to the Board Development Committee c/o MCSC and should include a letter of interest and a resume (if possible). The Executive Committee will meet that same day, prior to the Board Development Committee. �• In an effort to promote volunteerism across the state, the MCSC recently sent a mailing that included information on the ConnectMichigan Campaign and Adopt A Part of Michigan Campaign. The mailing included the ConnectMichigan and Adopt A Part of Michigan posters and was sent to Michigan's 6,000 schools as well as volunteer centers, colleges and Michigan's national service programs. • The MCSC's 1997 Annual Report is finished and was distributed to the friends and members of the MCSC. This report features the fine accomplishments of Michigan's citizens. It also is a fine tribute to the work of the Interim Executive Director, Terry Pruitt, the MCSC staff, commissioners, and supporters. I hope that you will take a few moments to read the various stories and commentaries included in the report. • Make A Difference Day in Michigan was an overwhelming success! More than 73,890 volunteers participated in 516 projects on October 24, 1998. Mrs. Engler participated in the "Make A Difference For Learning Disabilities 5K Walk/Run" project at Potter Park Zoo in Lansing. Mrs. Engler was joined by two of her three daughters, Hannah and Maggie. • The latest ConnectMichigan newsletter was distributed this week. This issue marks the beginning of the newsletter's new format and focuses less on MCSC news and more on stories that are relevant to the larger field of service and volunteerism. The ConnectMichigan newsletter is a Michigan publication, created by and for the state's volunteer and national service network. • See the attached update on the overall status of the ConnectMichigan Campaign. Finance and Administration • The MCSC staff will submit the MCSC' s Administrative Funds application to the Corporation for National Service by November 17. This application will also include the Program Development And Training (PDAT) funds request. Although the Corporation for National Service has yet to announce the amount of funds available for states, we have been advised to seek funding not to exceed the previous year's allocation. Programming • On October 24, 1998 MCSC staff attended a meeting of selected state service commissions, hosted in Fort Worth, Texas, by the Association of State Service Commissions and America's Promise, to help develop an America's Promise best implementation practices guide. The guide is due to be published sometime this winter or spring. • The MCSC conducted a number of trainings including a fundraising seminar for current VIG grantees, a web-based reporting system for Michigan's AmeriCorps programs, and a service-based curriculum development session for Learn & SERVE Community-Based grantees. • The MCSC programming staff are currently conducting the VIG review process. A total of 24 applications were received requesting nearly $1 million in state support. • The MCSC distributed the Request For Proposal (RFP) for Michigan's Promise Fellows. A copy was sent to all commissioners and friends of the MCSC. Michigan is eligible for 13 Promise Fellows. The deadline for submission is November 20, 1998. �• In cooperation with the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) the MCSC will establish a Communities of Promise Coordinator position. This position will coordinate the activities of Michigan's Promise including (eventually) 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. The position is expected to be filled by December 31, 1998. Our next MCSC meeting is scheduled for December 11, 1998 in Lansing in the Michigan Room, George W. Romney Building, 111 S. Capitol Avenue, First Floor. Thank you. �*Michigan is proud to announce a new three-year campaign to promote volunteerism- ConnectMichigan.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave . Bldg., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Executive Committee, Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director ~~ RE: Advisory concerning Michigan's AmeriCorps part-time member policy DATE: November 16, 1998 An unique and unforseen circumstance has recently come to the MCSC staffs attention concerning the multi-year, part-time member policy adopted by the Michigan Community Service Commission on February 14, 1997. As you may recall, the policy states that: "part-time members serving 900 hours over a two-year period may receive an education award, but are not eligible to receive a living allowance." The rationale for this policy revolved around the philosophy that the living allowance is intended to aid members in their ability to serve their nation and community through national service and that it was never intended to serve as a wage for services rendered. Additionally, the members of the MCSC felt that those members serving on a multi-year, part-time basis would be serving fewer than 10 hours per week in order to meet their required 900 hours and that many people serve in that capacity without major sacrifices to living standards. The Michigan 's AmeriCorps, CLASS program sponsored by Eastern Michigan University (EMU) recently brought to staffs attention, the unique circumstances that students in higher education experience. Briefly, the majority of students enrolled in the Michigan's AmeriCorps program and enrolled in classes at EMU come from traditionally non-represented demographic groups (i.e. moderate to low income levels) and need to earn money over the summer in order to pay tuition costs and living expenses incurred over the academic year. For students to remain enrolled in classes and serve in an AmeriCorps program, they must enroll as part-time members. EMU administrators claim that these circumstances (multi-year part-time enrollment combined with income needy students) create massive barriers to the retention of members. Members cannot complete their hours because they need to work and earn funds during the summer. Additionally, EMU notes that students would have to pay their own room and board over the summer if they are not enrolled in classes due to the requirements of work study funding, adding to the resistance of students to remain over the summer months to complete their term requirements. Overall, members weight the consequences of losing their $4,700 educational award against the income they could earn during full-time intensive work over the summer. �The MCSC staff have offered to work with the EMU administration to seek outside financial support for members of the CLASS program. EMU was asked to provide the MCSC staff with a detailed budget outlining the costs associated with housing members over the summer and providing enough financial incentive to retain members in the program. The MCSC staff still awaits EMU's response to this offer of support. The MCSC staff request the Executive Committee's advice and counsel as to whether it should craft a formal recommendation to the full commission or continue to strictly adhere to the aforementioned policy. The staff offer the following menu of options for your consideration: a. a one-time waiver to the multi-year, part-time member policy for the CLASS: Michigan's AmeriCorps program sponsored by EMU; or b. a re-examination of the policy; or c. a firm reiteration of the multi-year, part-time member policy. �Member Benefits Living allowance Full-time Members • Generally, all full-time corpsmembers must receive a living allowance between $8,730 and $16,680. • The living allowance is considered taxable for FICA and income tax. • The amount of the living allowance that may be paid using CNS and other federal funds may not exceed 85% of the minimum living allowance, or $7,420. • Programs that want to provide a higher living allowance, in excess of $8,730, must provide a grantee match for all funds over $7,420. • Programs that want to pay a higher living allowance must demonstrate compelling circumstances for doing so, such as cost of living. Higher living allowances must be approved by MCSC and CNS. One Year Part-time Members • Part-time members completing 900 hours of service in one year could receive up to $4,622 for the year with the maximum CNS match being $3,929 ($4,622 x 85%). The $4,622 was calculated by multiplying $8,730 by (900 service hours/1700 service hours). Two Year Part-time Members •· MCSC policy states that part-time members serving 900 hours over a two year period may receive an education award but are not eligible to receive a living allowance. Summer Only Members • Summer Only members completing a minimum of 300 hours of service are eligible to receive a living allowance of up to $1,541. The CNS share must not exceed $1,310 ($1,541 x 85%). The $1,541 was calculated by multiplying $8,340 by (300 service hours/1700 service hours). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

PT 2YR. PT Program Start Date: September 2, 1998 1 . In addition to the attached renewal application, the below analysis is based upon: • • • • One Site Visit Progress Reports: 2nd quarter Weekly Phone Contact Other: Monthly Program Directors' Meetings 2 • Does the Commission believe that the program is meeting its annual objectives? If not, explain why. MCSC believes the Coordinating Literacy for America's Student's Success (CLASS) program is on track to accomplish their annual objectives. Progress is indicative of all objectives being met or exceeded. 3. Provide a concise summary of the program's service activities for the next year. The program's mission is to improve the reading/writing performance ofK-5 children through a tutoring/mentoring program, parental involvement, and community volunteerism. The goals of the program include increasing volunteer and parent participation in the literacy of children, establishing partnerships between institutions of higher education and the community, and promoting civic mindedness and community service among those involved in the program. 1 i 4. Pro.vide a clear analysis of this program's strengths and accomplishments which support the Commission's decision to request 1998-99 renewal funding. EMU and other CLASS partners have been dedicated and committed to helping CLASS accomplish its goals and objectives. They have further helped recruit volunteers, help members to find space for their programs, circulate flyers, and provide access to their supplies, materials, and computer equipment for preparation of flyers, handouts, and lessons. Efforts such as these have allowed the program to accomplish the following: • • To date, 221 kids have participated in the tutoring program at the school and community-based sites. More than 100 pre-service teachers are serving as volunteer tutors at the school sites. �• • • • • In addition to the 100 pre-service teachers, the program has recruited ~4 other volunteers The program has received a limited amount of in-kind community support through the donations of items for the program. The program is in the process of developing the parent component. Two parent workshops will be conducted in the next quarter. The program has addressed many of challenges of a first year program. During the ' first two quarters the program has enhanced overall program development, the recruitment and retention of the members, the overall quality of the tutoring program, the overall quality of member development, the communication channels among staff and sites, and the parent component of the program. The program has a broad understanding of MCSC' s overall evaluation expectations. They have collected all of the necessary information to report on the overall impact of the program at the end of the year. 5 . What challenges is this program currently facing? Describe the Commission's strategy for assisting this program with these challenges in the next program year. The primary challenge that the program has faced has been the recruitment and retention of one year part-time members. In order for the program to ensure that the one year part-time members will complete their 900 hours in a years time, the program needed to implement a summer program. MCSC has increased the formula award to EMU by $17,000 for year 2/3. Budget modifications were made to provide a honorarium to pay the program directors for the summer months. This funding was provided by EMU matching support due to the fact that the Volunteer Coordinator position had not been filled and six months of half-time salary and associated benefits were unexpended. MCSC has encouraged EMU to collaborate with AmeriCorps Oakland which has been successful with attrition for their one year part-time member slots. MCSC will assist the program with two formal site visits throughout the year. As a follow up to the site visit, MCSC will provide written feedback detailing strengths and weaknesses as well as recommendations for improvement. Support to address the areas of improvement includes phone consultations, sample documents, resource information, discussions at the monthly director meetings, and referrals to the national technical assistance providers 6. Hpw does this program support the Commission's vision as stated in the s~ate plan (or Unified State Plan)? Describe how it complements the state's existing portfolio. The program is consistent with the priorities established within the MCSC state plan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This second and last grant request to the Ford Foundation will enable nn infonnal network of state service commissions to transition into a formal, nonprofit, member service organization serving all fifty state service cormnissions. The Ford Foundation grant will be matched by suppon already n::c~~:i ved from the Corporation for National Service and the Ev.ing Kauffman Foundation, as well as by investment support generated from state commissions. Background In 1990, President George Bush signed into law the first significant piece of domestic servke legislation in nearly a quarter of a century. The National and Community Service Act of 1990 provided a modest level of federal funding for state and local service corps, school~age youth service programs, college-based service programs, and competitively selected national service demonstration progrmns. Notably, much of the momentum behind the passage of this legislation can be: traced to the Ford Foundation's commitment to, and investment in youth service since the early 1980s. Leaders from Ford Foundation funded youth service program organizations such as the Constitutional Rights Foundation, the National Association of Service and Conservation Coxps, md Youth Service America were instrumental in shnping the key provisions of the 1990 Act. In fact, it was through Youth Service America and its working group on youth service policy that the term "Streams of Service'' was coined in order to bring greater coherence to what had been dispEU'B.te groups of programs that involved youth and shared a common commitment to service. The Youth Service America working group helped to cha:rmel the Streams of Service together to feed the youth service field and define the -basic elements of the 1990 Act. A linle noted, but strategically critical provision in the 1990 Act called for states to develop strategic plans for service, and encouraged states to fonn advisory councils or commissions to oversee and cootdinate the development a.o.d implementation of these plans. The idea behind the:sc: advisory commissions grew out the experience of successful state service coordinating entities in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The Massachusetts Youth Service Alliance, then directed by Joe Madison, functioned as a nonprofit coalition of programs commhted tn youth servict:. PcMServe, the Pennsylvania Office of Citizen Service, housed in the state's Department of Labor and Industry, which was then run by Harris Wofford, coordinated state funded youth service programs, primarily youth corps and the Peo.nsylvania Conservation Corps. T-he apparent success of these state entities was found in their ability to bring a level of coherence and coordination to state and local youth service programs and the effir..:acy of their s~e and national youth service advocacy. �Sent By: ASSC; 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:14AM; Page 7/13 Recognizina the strateiic value ofastate-levc:l coordinating entity for service, Youth Service America (YSA) worked aggressively to organize and facilitate the development of state service plans and state service commissions. While YSA invested a level of com:mi~ent in support of planning efforts in more than twenty states, Kansas and Michigan proved the most fertile territory for this denlopment work. In 1991, both states with the support of their aovemors, established service commissions in order to coordinate planning and development of state service activities. By linkini the function of these coaunissions to the broader strategic development of service as a strategy for community improvement, including its connection to job training, youth development, community and economic development, and volunteerism, planners hoped to avoid the programmatic segmentation that often occurs with federally funded initiatives. A related and cautionary example of program segmentation can be found in the development of state offices ofvolunteerism..Funded through grants ftom the federal ACTION Agency in the late 1970s, state offices ofvolunteerism were intended to support and assist in the coordination sentice and volunteer activities in the states, pnrticularly as they te!ated to ACTION programs like VISTA, RSVP, Senior Companion, and Foster Grandparents. These offices, by design mostly housed in the offices of governors, were also intended to promote a more energetic level of state support for :5ervice and voh.mteerl$m. Contrary to these intentions, the state offices developed unevenly. Federal funding stopped, governors' intere:;ts were never adequately piqued, and the offices drifted toward support of traditional volunteer activities without making the $trategic coimection to publicly funded service or service related programs. Most offices folded. Those that survived did so by be<:oming coopted by, or colUlected to state volunteer administrator networks. A!3 a result, as state service commissions began to emerge in the 1990s, govemors, state policy leaders, and even service s.d:vocates were hard pressed to see i.tnmediately the connections among the activities of the remaining state office of volunteerism and the service programs of the state service commissions. On the other hand, states like Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Kansas, California., Arkansas, and Pennsylvania viewed service as a strategy with many locally derived permutations for merging youth and community service, volunteerism, educational improvement, and community problem solving. These sta.te~ with well-developed service plans, effective capacity building strategies, strong collaborative networks, and established systems for program coordination proved to be most succc.ssful in taking advantage of the resources made available through the 1990 Act. Each state enjoyed a strong institutional body conceived for the purpose of supporting and coordinating service. The commissions of :Michigan and Kansas as well as PennServe and the Massachusetts Alliance became models for what the drafters of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 hoped would be a more robust commitment from the states to partner in support of the substantially increased federal commitment to national and community service. The Trust Act of 1993 began as the reauthorization of the 1990 Act and became the vehicle for fulfilling newly inauiurated President Bill Clinton's campaign pledge to launch the most ambitious national service program since Franklin Roosevelt's CCC. ln addition to creating the program that wa.o; later named AmcriCorps, the Trust Act fonnaliied a national system for 2 �sent sy: Assc; 843 723 6051 ; Jul-9-96 9:14AM; administering national service that relied heavily on an administrative partnership with the states, specifically state service commissions. States were no longer encouraged, but required by the Trust Act to establish service commissions or specifically designate an alternative administrative agency in order receive and then administer national service program fimds. The success of coordinated state service plans in places like Michigan and Massachusetts helped lead the Trust Act drafters to believe that the best way to institutionalize service in the states was through the institutional development of state commissions. State commissions were given responsibility for administerin~ two~ thirds of AmeriCorps funding, Learn and Serve community-based program fundina. as well as overseeing the coordination of. and statewide capacity buildil'l_g for all streams of national and community serv;ce and voluntcerism. The Trust Act also marked a shift from an emphasis on youth service to the more encompassing national service model. Yet advocates for using state service commissions as the administrative infrastructure for the national service system saw some peril in. this sudden reliance on the states for making national service work. Most states were Wlprepared, some were even resistant, while even those with the best track records were in a relatively fragile stage of development. Accordingly, YSA, along with Public/Private VentW"es, and the National Governors' Associationjoined in a Ford Foundation funded project to support the basic admi.'listrativc development of sti!.te service commissions and assess the effectiveness of their progress in launching and administering the national service program. This project led to a series of meetings with incoming commission directors and commission members. Th~ topir;;s of these meetings were concentrated around issues related to the oraanizationa.l start-up of state commissions and effective program practice. Commissions were concerned with how to run a competitive grant proce5S, administer AmeriCorps, and interact with the Corporation for National Service, which had been newly created by the Trust Act. For the majority of states national service was a relatively new concept. At the last of th~se n1eetings in St. Louis in February of 1995, a number of commission directors agreed that tbe agenda tailored to the unique needs of commissions and positive infonnational exchanges among commission peers provided by these meetings were an important complement 10 the periodic Corporation for National Service gatherings that concentrated on the technical aspects of administering AmeriCorps. In St Louis. the commission directors agreed that if commissions were to position themselves effectively in their states to support the broadest range of activities related to service and volWlteerism, then they needed opportunities for information sharing and peer technical assistance. The WJchigan Commission agreed to take: the lead in coordinating the development of this peer 5upport effort through monthly conference calls, regular mailings, and outreach to the Corporation for National Service and the Ford Foundation. The d~tor of the Michigan Commission. Frauk Dirks, who had worked~ a field operative for YSA durin& its early state commission development efforts, recruited Joe Madison, who had recently relocated to Michigan after resiping from his tenn a.or; ·director of the Massachusetts Commission, to assist with the inter-state coordination effort. Dirks nlso approached ~ Ford Foundation about building on the work of the fU"St grant by supporting the development of a peer support network among state service commissions. 3 Page 8/13 �Sent By: ASSCj 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:15AM; Page 9/13 This peer support network became known as the State Service Commission Network as its members gained greater self-awareness. The Network developed a productive relationship with the Corpora.tiont offering constructive, consensus recommendations for irnpr,oving policies and procedures as they related to the states. The Network also served as the vehicle for the Corporation to ensure that state commissio.o.s could provide oversiaht and guidance to its contracted technical assistance providers. The Corporation agreed to allow a Network work group to closely coordinate the activities of the Corporation's new state commission technical assi$Ul.Ilce provider, Aguirre International. Concurrently, in the early summer of 1996, the Ford Foundation awarded a ifMt to the Michigllfl Commission for the purpose of supporting the development of the peer network. Through meetings, conferences, and resource materials development, the grant enabled commissions to develop a areater self reliance while learning from each ether how to lailor their activities to meet the unique needs of states. The grant also enabled the network to develop a peer resource directory, which has been fUrther refined into a catalog ofbe:st practices for state eonunissions. At the Ford Foundation fUnded meeting in Midland, Michigan, Governor John Engler, and First Lady Michelle Engler, chair of the Michigan Commission, spoke compellingly of the need for states to develop strong service commissions. . The Midland meeting also marked the convergence of efforts by commission chairs and commissions directors to orpnize national netwocl<.s. Six weeks before the Midland meeting, chairs gathered for the fast time in Kansas City at a meeting funded by the Ewing Kauffman Fou!'lds.tion. Commission members, like commission staff recognized the importance of developing a strons national peer network to support their development in the states. At Mi~ commission members and staff agreed to join forces and undertake a process to transition the Network into an effective organization. A Steering Committee of commission members and directors was formed and set out to develop plans for organizing the network of commissions. At the same time the Steering Committee agreed to move slowly before committing to the formation of a formaJ organization. The Steering Committee is chaired Hershel Lamirand, a member and former chair of me Oklahoma Commission. The Vice Cb&r is Sue Donaldson, chair of the Washington State Commission and President of the Seattle City Council. Frank Dirks, who left the Michigan Commission in the fall, served as a volunteer coordinator before being the first staff retained by the Steering Committee in May 1998. While the Steering Committee produced newsletters for the network through the winter and worked closely with the Corporation on a number ot' issues it was not W1til the spring of 1998 that the activities of the Steering Committee accelerated. Tiris was due to the Cotporation' s commitment of resour~s to support peer exchanges among commission members and staff using the Steering Committee as the service delivery system. in addition, the Kauffman Foundation awardecl the Steering Comm.inee, by way of the Oklahorr.a Commission. a $50.000 ~t to support the network's organizational development. It was thi:s award that enabled the Steering Committee to retain Dirks. 4 �Sent By: ASSC; 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:15AM; Tn June of 1998, the Steering Committee met in Washington, D.C. to develop its plan for fonnally organi;Ung the service commission network. This meeting produced a mission statement and organizational goals and objectives conteined in the enclosed p~ket. The Steering Coll1Il1ittee agreed to rename the Network the Association of State Servic~ Commissions. The Steering Committee unanimously agreed to raise an initial funding goal for the Association of $25,000 from among 5tate commissions. Every member of the Steering Committee agreed to support the Association through their commissions. Also at this meeting. the Steering Committee prepared to unveil its agenda at a meeting of commission representatives from all the states at the National Service a.1.d Volunteer Conference cosponsored by the Corporation and the Points of Light Foundation. Th~ National Service and VolWJteer conference marked the highlight of the development of a formal network of state conunissions. The Steering Committee presented every commission representative with a presentation packet (enclosed). The Steering Committee also presented resource materials developed in cooperation with Aguirre International (as an outgrowth of the Network·s longstanding relationship with Aguirre) that included an Effective Practice Guide for State Commissions and a commission member "Tool Kit." Conunents back from commission members zmd staff were very positive. Everyone indicated an appreciation for the services provided by their new Association, and everyone present indicated general support for the ·direction set by the Steering Committee, although effective follow up communication will be critical. Throughout the development of the Association, the Corporation for National Service has been an enthusiastic advocate for a strong network of state service commissions. At every step in its development, even when uncomfortably prodded by the network of commissions, the Corporation has always worked to enable and suppott its development. Since early in 1997, th~ Corporation bas made a significant comminnent to what it calls devolution, what is effect is the transfer of increasing responsibility and flexibility to the state commission$ for administering and coordinating national s=:rvice in the states. Through its support of compreben~i Ye state service plans a.nd the tbllow on to the Presidents' Volunteer Summit, the Corporation has worked to position comm.i:ssions as the vital conduit linking all national service and volunteer programs in the states. I.n addition, the Corporation has looked to service commissioru; as the access point to governors, whom it hopes will become invested in service through their commissions and then, in twn lend their bi-partisan political support to the legislative agenda for national service in Washington. Because of the policy implications, and because it recognizes that for service commissions to excel they must be as attuned to the policy opportunities in their states as much as in Washington, the Corporation is limited in what it can do to directly support the development of the Association of State Service Commissions. The Corporation can provide a level of support for Association facilitated peer exchanges, but the Corporation cannot support the kind of organizational development activities necessary to make an effective member servic~ and public policy awareness organization. To be successful, the Association must have the capacity to keep 5 Page 10/13 �Sent By: ASSC; 843 723 6051; Page 11/13 members infonned about new program and policy developments, research, highlight, and disseminate examples of state policy initiatives in support of service, and conduct outreach to state and federal policy makers on the status of service in the states. Acco,r9.ingly, the Michigs.n Commission. on behalf of the Association is seeking this final grant from the Ford Foundation as an appropriate capstone to the Foundation's investment in the development of the state service conunissions. If the first gnnt could be viewed as getting the commissions up and nmning. and the second grant creating a network of like-minded peers1 this final gmnt will enable the commissions to fully form an association capable of carrying their interests forward and support the continued institutionalization of national and community service in the states. The grant will help create a unique national orsan.ization that in many respects fulfills the dreams expressed by members of the Ford Foundation funded YSA working group nearl)l' a decade ago. ·· Design The Michigan Commission will serve as fiscal aget1t for the grant and C()ntract with the Oklahoma Commission, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which serves as the administrative agency for the Assooiation of State Service Commissions. The grant will support internal conununications among corrunission members and staff from every commission in the country. The principal mechanism for this couununication system will be a monthly newsletter to the more than 1,000 individuals serving as commission members and sta..if across the country. The Association also will develop a highly detailed member data base for the purpose of targeted outreach. The newsletter will contain information items on program and policy developments in the states and at the federal level. The newsletter will also hi&hllght the effective practi(.:es of state commissions. The grant will support external commurueations to Association stakeholders including national service programs, Corporation staff, nonprofit oraanizations, grant makers, and state and federal policy makers. The principal mechanism for this communication system will be a quarterly newsletter (which will subsume the monthly) that highlights service and volunteerism in the states and effective practices for coordinating and collaborating among programs and networks. The quarterly newsletter will operate with an initial target circulation of 5,000 nationally. The grant will support targeted informational updates to governors. These quarterly governor updates will feature special achievements of state service commissions, and the governors role in support of them. These updates will also be used to introduce a performance renking system for commissions that is intended to foster constructive competition among states. Finally, the grant will support a share of the time of the Association's public affairs director, Frank Dirks. The public affairs director will coordinate development of strategic relationship::~ with such organizations as the Grant Makers' Forum for National and Community Service, America's Promise. and the Corporation for National Service. 6 �Sent By: ASSCj 843 723 6051; Jul-9-98 9:~6AM; Page 12/13 Outcomes The grant will produce the following outcomes: 1) A highly developed internal communications system for the membership of the Association including a -'Ophisticated member data base. 2) Increased awareness among nonprofit organizations, national direct service programs. grant makers, and state and federal policy makers of the role and value of state service commissions. 3) Increased awareness of the role and value of state service commissions among governors. 4) A mirumum of sixteen internal network newsletters and eight quarterly 5ervice field newsletters. 5) A refined reader survey instrument for continuous quality improvement Sustainability The network has already received a. $50.000 grant from the Kauffman FoWldation to support organizational development. In addition, the Corporation for National Service bas committed support for peer exchanges facilitated by the Association, as w~ll a.s travel for commission members and Association Steering Committee members. This support recently enabled state commis5ions to send rcprcsenta.tives to the National Service and Volunteer Conference meeting. Beyond this support, the Steering Committee bas committed to raising an initial $25.000 from within the Association. In the long term, the Steering Committee is considering self~ financing mechanisms that could provide sufficient funding for sustaining the organization. In one model, commissions, based on budget size, would contribute between $500 and $3,500 annually producing an annual baseline operating budget of$120,000. The Steering Committee is confident that it will be able to provide the quality service that will make corrunissions want to contribute. However, the capital investment from sources like the Ford Foundation is critical. These funds make it possible for the Association to provide a level of setvice that will eventually entice every commission to want to invest as well. The Association has effectively captured the attention of every commi$siOn in the country. With the help of the Ford Foundation, the Association will be able to tum this interest into whal it hopes will be the nation's most effective support system for national and community service.

For the f1tst time since the reorganization of the service and volwueer field in 1993,48 state commissions on national and community service have come together to discuss how their unique and innovative efforts on behalf of the citizens of their respective states can be shared and perhaps improved. Of particular significance is the fact that these commissions have met, not solely as grantees of the Coql<>ration fnr National Sei.'Vice (as bas been the tradition), but as autonomous entities promoting community and national service in their stateS. Oearly, the state commissions' participation in the planning and forming of this network demonstrates the need for and utility of a coordinating and convening organization that can continue lh.is work. And while MCSC has played this role to date, another organization must be developed to speak for all state commissions. Michigan's support to this ~citing initiative-a network of state community service commissions-is demoll$tratcd in our participation in the attached proposal. but also in our two yeus of hard work and our commitment of .\lubstantial financial and human resources in developing the network. This is why we are proud and pleased to send you the enclosed proposal respectfully reque!iting a two--year commitment from the Ford Foundation in the amount of $100,000. 1bis support will allow ASSC to continue its efforts to sttengthen commissions, support the development of SllStainable community service initiatives, and infonn state commissions and their stakeholders of the impottance and value of national and corrununity service. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal Shnuld you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 571-335-4295. /?dll$ Kyle Caldwell a..... -~ . . . . . 111(--.. �843 723 6051; Sent By: ASSCj Jul-9-98 9:12AM; Page 3 .I· i· I I I OKLAHOMA COM.MUNITV SERVICE COMMI~ION July 7, 1998 Mr. Kyle Caldwell Miehigan Community Service Commission George W.

The final report has two parts. First, it should address the results of the just-completed project year in terms of what was planned, what was accomplished, and what factors helped or hindered the attainment of goals. Second, it represents a thoughtful, critical synthesis of the important lessons learned and outcomes over the life of the project. (See ''Project Director's Opinion.") The format below may help you prepare a final report by providing a checklist for the critical thinking process. You should be especially attentive to addressing within this format, the important evaluation questions for your project. Project Summary This introduction to the full report tells the reader what to expect by "setting the scene." Succinctly restate the project's intended goals, the strategies you have undertaken to achieve them, and the methods by which you are evaluating these efforts. Weave into this brief summary the important questions for evaluation which were stated in your commitment letter. Note if changes have been made in any goals or strategies. Progress Toward Goals A. Outcomes Respond to the specific outcomes questions for your project. In addition, if not already addressed, please consider the following: 1. Summarize your achievements. 2.

Have there been any unanticipated outcomes? What are they? B. Implementation (processes and day-to-day activities) Respond to the specific implementation questions for your project. In addition, if not already addressed, please consider the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Describe activities directed at each of the outcomes listed above and lessons you have learned during the life of your project. If some intended activities were not undertaken, please note them and explain why they were not pursued. What problems arose and how were they addressed?

KELLOGG FOUNDATION News Release Guidelines To help people help themselves A well-written news release can be an excellent tool for generating media interest in your Kellogg Foundationfunded project. You will want to provide the media with thorough, accurate, and clear copy. The following guidelines will help you in preparing a news release. 1. State the grant's overall purpose clearly and precisely. Focus on how your project will improve the lives of people; relate the project to people, not institutions. 2. Give the source(s) of funding for the project, the dollar amount of the grant(s), and the period or duration of funding. 3. Successive paragraphs would include a nontechnical summation of why this project is important, what differentiates it from other efforts to solve similar problems, how the project will be conducted, and who it is specifically designed to seNe. Provide more detail on the objectives given in the lead paragraph. If appropriate, succinctly say why your institution is uniquely qualified or equipped to deal with the identified issue or problem. 4. Your draft could include brief, direct quotes from key spokespersons if such quotes offer additional newsworthy information. 5. Add standard paragraphs on the Kellogg Foundation, provided below: The W.K. Kellogg Foundation was established in 1930 to "help people help themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and that of future generations." Its programming activities center around the common visions of a world in which each person has a sense of worth; accepts responsibility for self, family, community, and societal well-being; and has the capacity to be productive, and to help create nurturing families, responsive institutions, and healthy communities. To achieve the greatest impact, the Foundation targets its grants toward specific focal points or areas. These include: health; food systems and rural development; youth and education, and higher education; and philanthropy and volunteerism. When woven throughout these areas, funding also is provided for leadership; information systems/technology; efforts to capitalize on diversity; and family, neighborhood, and community development programming. Grants are concentrated in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and southern Africa. If your project is funded through the Kellogg Foundation's Youth Initiatives Program in one of the three target areas in Michigan, also include the following information: This grant is a continuation of the Kellogg Youth Initiatives Program (KYIP), which is a long-term commitment by the Kellogg Foundation to help communities establish environments for young people that promote positive growth and development. KYIP serves three focus areas in Michigan, including Calhoun County, the Upper Peninsula counties of Alger and Marquette, and an inner-city segment of Detroit. Please note: The W.K. Kellogg Foundation's corporate logo is for use on WKKF products only. It is not to be used on other materials without approval by the Strategic Planning and Programs Group.

As we discussed, we need to form strategies around the following: 1 Who should be invited and by whom? 2. What should the point of contact be for RSVP's? 3. Where are programs located within voting districts and who are our key contacts in those communities? 4. How will we gauge turn out size and who will be responsible for making key decisions? 5. What are our primary goals for this event? I am only able to answer the last point at this time. The MCSC will be seeking increases in its state appropriations for the 2000 fiscal year to support its state and national volunteer support initiatives. Additionally, the MCSC will be seeking to revise its legal status. Public Act 219 does not provide for the MCSC's future should the Michigan Jobs Commission cease to exist in its current form. In fact, the MCSC is codified in law, where the MJC is not. We will need bipartisan support if we are to ensure passage of any new legislation. Finally, and most importantly, the field will need the support of legislators as we enter a new age of devolution. I have asked Kathy to reserve the Radison for the 24th and 31st of March. I would like to request your help in ensuring the success of this initiative given that the MCSC is short staffed and you are uniquely qualified. We have to ensure that we conduct this event to gain support of the new legislature. May I suggest that we meet to discuss how we "divide and conquer" these tasks. Thanks. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.

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.

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.

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.

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.
