Tuesday, September 15, 1998 2:09 PM

I talked with Dottie Johnson concerning the Board Development Committee. She made
a few suggestions concerning the current appointments and gave some homework
assignments. She suggested appointing Nancy Lentz to the committee because of her
common sense approach, Terry Pruitt because of his interest and connections, Mrs
Engler as Chair of the Commission. Most helpful, however was her suggestion
concerning a meeting of the membership of the committee. She suggests a meeting for
November 16, 1998 at 2:00 p.m. where all members of the committee come together
around an agenda based on briefing materials we send them. I will discuss this in more
detail with you Lindy a little later, but for now I would like both of you to put this date on
your calendars. Dottie will call Terry and Nancy tomorrow concerning their participation
on this committee. Mary, could you please get a room (Mrs. E's office or our
conference room would be best) and call Nancy, Terry, and ME to ensure that this is on
their schedules? Thanks. Kyle

Mr. Kyle Cadwell, Executive Director
Michigan Community Service Commission
Ill South Capitol Avenue
George W. Romney Building, 4th Floor
Lansing MI 48913
Dear Kyle:
I regret to inform you that I must resign from my board position with the Michigan Community
Service Commission. While I strongly believe in the mission and goals of the commission, I am
unable to continue my involvement as a board member because my schedule is so full.
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful group. I wish you and the
commission continued great success. All the best to you!
Sincerely,
LITTLE CAESAR ENTERPRISES, INC.

It would be good if she were in on the conference call so that she has a feeling for what
the Board Development Committee is doing. I will have Mary get her the 1-800 number
to call. Sorry you didn't get the email. I am going to assume that you are not going to
get this e-mail and I will then call to confirm. Thanks. Kyle

Kyle your voicemail message said that you sent me an email and I have not received it.
Also, did you say that you needed a two hour meeting with ME on November 30? Does
she need to be involved with the November 30 conference call as well?

Mrs. Engler asked that I schedule some time to sit down and catch up with her
concerning MCSC matters. She said that Monday November 30, 1998 would be a good
time. I have reserved the entire day to be "on call" for her so please let me know what
time is best. I believe that we will need atleast 2 hours.
We also discussed that she will be calling Manny L. to determine our status in gaining
approval for an EOR and for getting Diana Algra on loan from FlA.
Finally, Mrs. Engler will be calling on two individuals to ask about their willingness to
serve on the MCSC. They are:
John Porter
(Former President of EMU)
Trustee of the C.S. Mott Foundation
900 Victor's Way
Ann Arbor, Ml 48108
313-761-2300 .
John W. Barfield
Chairman of the Executive Committee
Bartech Group
17199 N. Laurel Park
Suite 224
Livonia Ml48152-2679
313-953-5050
I believe that the Governor and Mrs. Engler know Dr. Porter. Here is a brief bio on Mr.
Barfield:
John W. Barfield
Chairman- Executive Committee
The Bartech Group
Currently the Chairman of the Executive Committee of Livonia-based Bartech Group,
Mr. Barfield is also the recipient of numerous awards and honors including The George
Romney Award recognizing lifelong achievement in volunteerism and the Olivet College
Leadership for Individual and Social Responsibility Award. His company, Bartech Inc.,
provides contract employment and related staffing services and employs more than
1,700 people. With an annual revenue of more than $65 million, Bartech Inc. is one of
the largest minority-owned businesses in the United States. Barfield also serves as cochairman of the regional campaign of the United Negro College Fund and serves on the
board of Spaulding for Children and the advisory board for the Salvation Army of
Metropolitan Detroit.
If you talk with Mrs. Engler prior to the 30th, could you please remind her of the above?

Are you psychic? Mary was just talking about your letter. We did receive your letter. I
just sent off the information packets to members of the Board Development Committee
and they will meet on November 16, 1998 (Dottie Johnson , Michelle Engler, Terry Pruitt,
and Nancy Lenz). After that meeting they will make recommendations to the Governor
and then we wait for a response from his office. I know that the committee is going to
be examining the current membership for its ability to deliver on future goals. Please
plan on attending the December Commission meeting. In the meantime, I will keep you
posted on their progress. Thanks for the note. How is school? Kyle
P.S. you should be receiving a report from me providing an update on Commission
related stuff.
&gt;&gt;&gt; "SCOTIA. SMITH" &lt;SSMITH@ALPHA.ALBION .EDU&gt;- 10/13/98 7:28AM&gt;&gt;&gt;
Hello Kyle,
I am writing to inquire about my status as a member of the MCSC. I sent a letter
(or two) in August and September signifying that I am interested in continuing
my participation.
Could you please let me know what my status is. Thanks.
Scott A. Smith

MEMORANDUM
TO:

Members of the MCSC Board Development Committee
Michelle Engler, Nancy Lenz, Terry Pruitt

FROM: Dorothy A. Johnson, Member ofMCSC and Committee.Chairperson of the Board
Development Committee
RE:

Board Development Committee Meeting

DATE:

October 9, 1998

Thank you for agreeing to serve on MCSC's newest standing committee, the Board Development
Committee. This committee will help form the future direction of MCSC and begin to develop the
membership in a way that is both strategic an&lt;:i.useful for the field of volunteerism and the
nonprofit sector generally.
As you may recall from our last meeting, the Commission adopted a new set of standing
committees including the Board Development Committee which will:
"assist the full commission in making recommendations to the Governor concerning appointing
new members and removing inactive members, coordinating commissioner committee
assignments, tracking commissioner participation, and seeking out prospective commission
members. The committee membership will include the chair and three other commission
members. Staff ftom MCSC' s Outreach and Fund Development Department' ~on g.with. the
Administrative Assistant to the Commission, will be responsible for providing adrriinistrative
support and coordination to this committee."
Your fellow commissioners serving on this committee include mysdf, Mrs." Engler, Ms. Lenz and
Mr. Pruitt. We will work with Lindy (Reurink) Lange, Director of Outreach and Fund
Development, Mary Estrada, Administrative Assistant for the Commission and of course Kyle
Caldwell, Executive Director of MCSC who will all work together to staff our committee.
Our first meeting will be November 16, 1998 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at MCSC's offices. I am
attaching the agenda and all related materials for your review and consideration. Please confirm
your attendance with Mary Estrada at (517) 335-4295.

There are a number of issues we need to address. The terms of six commissioners will expire this
month (see chart attached). We will need to develop and examine our own policies and procedures
for this committee, the expiring positions, two recent vacancies (Sister Martinez, Michael Tate),
recognition procedures for departing commissioners and orientation for new commissioners,
standing committee assignments and our future meetings. This is an ambitious agenda and I do
not expect to have all the answers to these issues in one meeting. We should, however, be able to
address our general expectations for each and draw up plans for dealing with them more fully
during our future meetings. Our goal will be to make recommendations for commission
membership to the Governor after our meeting so that they may be invited to the December
meeting. Depending on the length of the appointments process, we may not be able to have our
new members at the December meeting, but we will still make that our goal.
The materials included with this memo provide you with information on the vacancies that we
need to fill, a description of the characteristics we are seeking in a commissioner and some
orientation to the appointments process. Please read over these materials. If you know of
someone who might be a good candidate for any of the vacancies, please bring their name and (if
possible) a copy of their resume and a letter requesting consideration for appointment to the
Commission. As you consider possible candidates, please look for individuals who best represent
what MCSC promotes, who would be active participants in our decision making processes and
who would bring a special expertise or area of influence to the Commission. In addition, we
need individuals:
1. who are willing, able and eager to commit to the Commission's purposes:
a. to serve as the state administrative agency for national and community service programs;
b. to serve as a catalyst for positive community change by stimulating innovative programs
that meet real needs through service and volunteerism;
c. to serve as a convener of diverse individuals and groups by building communities
through shared vountary efforts that meet common community goals; and
d. to serve as a broker of nonporofit ideas and resources by encouraging collaboration and
entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development.
2. who are willing, able and eager to work with the Commission to seek collaborative ways to
bring together individuals, agencies, and organizations in meetin&amp;tl1e Commission's goals:
a. to build programs and expand resources based on local community needs and
resources;
b. to enable youth and community practioners to be part of the program design and policy
development process;
·~~~~
·
c. to promote diverse programs that are representative of their communities;
d. to encourage strong partnerships among public, provate, and nonprofit organizations;

e. to develop a statewide information clearinghouse and system for training in the best
practices for service, service learning, and volunteerism; and
f. to enhance service and volunteerism through rewards, incentives, and recognition.

(These purposes and goals can also be found in your Michigan Community Service Commission
Operating Procedures approved December 13, 1996)
If we articulate these expectations up front, we are more likely to recruit the candidates we most
desire. Thank you again for agreeing to participate on this committee and on the Commission, and
for your dedicated service to the citizens of Michigan.

MESSAGE:
Here is my first crack at the Board Development Report. You will note
my scribblings in the margins.
I have tried to call on Patti R. Concerning Mr. Weinstock. They are still
trying to reach him and his family. I also have called Nancy to follow up
her calls to Ray West. She was out so I left a message. I talked with Randy
Neelis and his is happy to serve again and was worried that we might be
trying to move him off when I called about Pat O'Day. (Grin) I assured
him that was not the case.
I recently read where Ray West has been replaced at the United Way
Community Services as the Union Representative. I will try to follow up.

Dear Michelle,
I received the letter requesting me to serve on the Michigan Community Service
Commission at the end of February. I'm sorry I didn't back to you sooner, but I've been
waiting to hear about a possible job.
I've been working on my teaching certificate and it looks as though I'll be doing some
teaching this semester and next fall. This combined with the other community activities
I'm involved won't leave me with time to help you out.
I'm flattered you asked me and thank you for thinking of me.
By the way, good luck with the Bush campaign.
Best wishes,

Deborah Meijer

MEMORANDUM
TO:

Members of the Board Development Committee

FROM: Dorothy A. Johnson, Graduate, Council of Michigan Foundations
Chair of the Board Development Committee
RE:

Summary of November 24, 1999 meeting

DATE:

November 24, 1999

The following is a summary of our conversation on November 24, 1999.

Appointment Recommendations
Kathy Honaker has taken a position in Texas (still within Allstate) and has resigned from the
MCSC. In her resignation letter (see attached) she mentioned that Steve Monahan will be
replacing her in the North Central Region which includes Michigan. Mr. Monahan's biography is
attached. Mrs. Engler spoke with Edward Liddy, CEO of Allstate and he said that Mr. Monahan
is the right person for us to appoint to the MCSC given that he served on the Florida Commission.
The committee recommended inviting Mr. Monahan to serve on the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell will
start the process.
Commissioners Pruitt and Lenz will meet with Mr. Jim Green from the Pharmacia &amp; Upjohn Co.
Foundation to determine his willingness to serve on the MCSC. The meeting will take place
sometime in January. Mr. Caldwell will send the appropriate promotional materials for
Commissioners Pruitt and Lenz.
The Committee may make recommendations to the larger commission at the January meeting, but
given the Holiday Season, it is more likely that recommendations will be given at the April
meeting.

�Prospects
Commissioner Johnson identified some prospects from the western region of the state including
Kathy Keller Muir and Nary Weege Nelson, both former educators with a passion for board
leadership and service.
Commissioners Pruitt and Lenz will also look into a number of other prospects including WMU
President, Elson Floyd.

Vacancies
Currently, three positions remain vacant including two representing business and one representing,
"A representative of a national service program described in section 122(a) of title I, 42 U.S.C.
12572." Mr. Caldwell will check with the Corporation for National Service to determine if
Commissioner Smith could fill this position as well as the Senior Service position. This issue lead
to a larger conversation concerning the MCSC' s flexibility in appointing members.

Changes to PA 219 (see Act No. 219 attached)
Currently PA 219 (the statute that codified the MCSC) reads:
" The commission shall consist of 25 members appointed by the governor."
The statute makes no reference to term limits (recently approved by the MCSC) nor does is
provide the flexibility to appoint more than 25 members. The Committee recommended that the
statute be changed to include the language concerning term limits and to reference that, "The
commission shall consist of a minimum of 25 members appointed by the governor."
These recommendations will be included in the Committee report to the full Commission at the
January meeting.

RE:

Appointment Recommendations

DATE:

June 13, 2000

CC:

Michelle Engler, Chair

The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) would like to recommend the following
changes to the membership of the MCSC:
1.

Acceptance of the resignation of Dorothy A. Johnson from the MCSC.

2.

Appointment of Robert A. Collier, President of the Council of Michigan Foundations to fill
the appointment vacated by Ms. Johnson.

3.

A hold placed on the appointment of Mr. Steven Monahan to fill the appointment vacated
by Ms. Honaker (see resume attached) as he has left the Allstate Company. The MCSC
will make a new recommendation after its September, 2000 meeting.

4.

Appointment of Dr. Russell G. Mawby, Chair Emeritus of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
to the MCSC in the seat vacated by Judith Dunn to begin September 13, 2000 at the Fall
meeting of the MCSC. Dr. Mawby will also serve as Chair of the MCSC upon the start of
his term. The MCSC is extremely gratified that Dr. Mawby has agreed to serve. As the
Chair and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for more than thirty years, Dr. Mawby
was instrumental in developing much of what we recognize as the service and volunteer
infrastructure in Michigan. Mrs. Engler will step down as Chair on September 13, 2000,
but remain a member of the MCSC. Dr. Mawby is a fine successor to the First Lady. A
point that was obvious to the MCSC members when they unanimously and enthusiastically
recommended his appointment to the MCSC for the Governor's consideration. In that
Mrs. Engler has served as the Chair of the MCSC since its creation, the MCSC would like
to announce the appointment of Dr. Mawby in advance of the September 13, 2000 start
date. The MCSC staff will work with you and Ms. Susan Shafer to work out the details.
Please do not announce this appointment until we have worked out the communication plan
with Susan, but feel free to advance the necessary paper work .

.Thank you.

MEMORANDUM

/I-

TO:

Members of the Board Development Committee

FROM:

Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director

RE:

Summary of June 21,2000 Meeting

DATE:

July 6, 2000

The following is a summary of the items we discussed during our June 21,2000 conference call.
1.

Transition of the Chair
The members discussed that Mrs. Engler and Dr. Mawby had met and Dr. Mawby has
agreed to serve as Chair for a three-year term. He will fill the seat vacated by Ms. Judith
Dunn.
The Governor's Office will work with Kyle to announce the transition to the public. The
September meeting will be Dr. Mawby's first meeting, but he will not take on the role of
Chair until the conclusion of that meeting.

2.

Up Corning Vacancies
As a result of our term limits, Commissioners Brandell, Muir, McCarthy and Orosz will be
moving off the active commissioner list to the Michigan Community Service Commission
(MCSC) Leadership Council (our Emeritus Board) and they will serve as the initial class of
members. The September meeting will serve as their final meeting as active members. A
formal recognition of their efforts will be held at the September meeting.

3.

New Appointees
The committee decided to investigate both Mr.Steven Monahan of AAA of Michigan and an
individual from Allstate to serve on the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell will work with individual
committee members to assess the willingness of the prospective candidates.
Mr. Pruitt and Mr. Caldwell will work to begin matching active members with new
inductees in a mentor/mentee relationship. They will begin to draw up a list of other
potential matches and a list of possible duties for consideration by the committee prior to
the Fall MCSC meeting.

Other prospects will need to be considered for the seats vacated by Dr. Orosz, Dr.
Brandell, Mr. Muir, and Ms. McCarthy. Dr. Mawby has agreed to seek the advice and
counsel of Dr. William Richardson of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for a replacement for
Dr. Orosz. This will leave a vacancy for a local government representative (Ms.
McCarthy), seniors and physically challenged (Mr. Muir) and educators including those
from higher education institutions (Dr. Brandell). Mr. Caldwell and members of the
committee will be seeking replacements that will provide both the geographic and
vocational diversity required (see charts below and attached).
4.

Recommendations for three members to the Volunteer Alliance
The MCSC and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) have secured the state funded
portion of the $20 million endowment for the Volunteer Alliance and have nearly finalized
the bylaws and articles of incorporation for the organization. This means that we will need
to make recommendations for membership to the board of the Alliance. The MCSC is
afforded three seats to the Alliance Board. We should discuss the likely candidates and
make a recommendation to the full membership. We will likely need to send out a ballot to
the full active membership to codify any recommendations as we may need to make a
decision prior to our September meeting.

Teny &amp; Nancy,
Thanks for the time to talk this morning. It helped me a great deal. I am sending you a draft of a summary memo and a draft of an appointments form that we
could use. Please give me your input/feedback. I will distribute this form with our follow up mailing to commissioners and friends. I think that the appointment
recommendation form will need to be tweaked to each position we are seeking. It may well have to include descriptions on all the vacancies. I am also faxing this
memo and a number of other follow up materials to help you see where we are with regard to our appointments. On the appointments chart you will notice that
Kathleen is still listed as active. It is the Governor's policy to keep member on until they resign or their terms expire. I inadvertantly never solicited a letter of
resignation from Kathy. I will contact her later to follow up on that.
Mrs. Engler spoke with Geneva about the Alliance and I will be doing a briefing for her on some of the latest developments. It sounds like she knows that she has
been out and that she needs to get involved. Therefore, I think that we should hold off on a letter until after I meet with her an discuss her interest level in the
MCSC. In the meantime, Teny, I think that a call from you would be a good idea just to informally lay the ground work. Is this OK with you?
Nancy, I am checking into the Municipal League and the Labor associations, anything you can do on the faith based position would be wonderful.
At the next commission meeting we may want to lay out our recommendations for positions (if not candidates) for the MCSC including this faith based slot.
Speaking of meeting, which of these dates look good for our next meeting/conference call?

DRAFT

MEMORANDUM

TO:

Members ofthe MCSC Board Development Committee
Terry Pruitt, Dow Coming Corporation
Nancy Lenz, Michigan National Bank

FROM:

Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director

RE:

Summary of February 21, 2001 meeting

DATE:

Thursday, March 01, 2001

The committee met via conference call to discuss vacancies, candidates, attendance, training
opportunities and board member development strategies.
Current and Upcoming Vacancies

The membership is short only one required position-local government representative-which
was vacated by Kathleen Keen McCarthy. Members and staff will approach the Michigan
Municipal League and local governments around the state to find candidates. Staff will
distribute a commissioner profile for members to distribute to candidates.
Term limits will also affect two other legislatively mandated positions after October 1, 2001local educator/education administrator and local labor representative. In addition, age
requirements may affect one of the youth positions currently serving, however neither youth
commissioners will be affected by term limits at this time. Members and staff will be
approaching the state and local labor union associations as well as labor designees to United
Way agencies for candidates. From the education field, members and staff will be seeking
candidates from local school districts and education associations.
Other positions that the committee will consider include members from the faith communities
that have a strong affiliation to service and volunteerism and a successful record of working with
the public sector. In addition, the members and staffwill be seeking candidates from the
Disability Community to serve on the MCSC. Again, candidates/organizations with a strong

�'•

record of promoting and practicing service and volunteerism will be sought. Members of the
Committee will distribute a nomination form (see attached) to the full membership and friends to
seek their input.
National Training
The Corporation for National Service is offering states $5,000 each to conduct multi-state
commissioner training sessions (see memo from Peter Heinaru attached). Several states' have
started planning for these trainings including those surrounding Michigan. The current plans are
that our cluster of states (Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska) would
conduct a training meeting sometime in May. Terry Pruitt is currently representing Michigan on
a planning committee for this initiative. The Committee will work with the Executive
Committee to determine which commissioners to send to the training.
Board Development/MCSC Fall Retreat
Members of the committee will make recommendations to the full membership on potential
commissioner partnerships to develop as part of the MCSC Mentor Program. The current roster
will be reviewed and potential matches will be developed prior to the Fall Retreat. The Mentor
Program will provide new commissioners a resource person to discuss national and state issues
as well as the day-to-day responsibilities of serving as a commissioner.
Thank you.
