Minutes of the March 2 and April re v iewed and duly adopted. 2. 3. 12 meetings were Election of New Members. A. Beverley McDonald reported on the deliberations of the Ad Hoc Nominating Task Group (which included herself, Edward B1ews, Dorothy Johnson, Robert Ivory, and Maryellen Lewis) , which proposed a slate of si x new organizational members and four At-Large members. (Report attached.) The ensuing discussion clarified two principles which the Committee chose to be guided by : --At-Large Members are to be individuals of recognized, statewide prominence who contribute t o the advancement of Michigan's nonprofit sector. --Member Organizations will be associat i ons o f organizations (rather than of individuals ) wh1ch have as a central or major concern the ad vancement of philanthropy, voluntar i sm and the nonprofit sector; in addition, member organizations w1 l l be as non-overlapping as possible. The two representati ves from each member organization wil l include the CEO and a volunteer leader. The volunteer leader wi l l be selected by eac h �organization, but the MNF will offer guidelines to insure continuity, comm1tment and authority. B. After considerable discuss1on , and with the addition o f Helen Milliken as a fifth At-Large member, the Committee duly moved, seconded and adopted the following slate and authorized the Nominating Task Group to invite them all to membership: Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and V ic1 n i~ y Council of Michigan Urban Leagues Jewish Commun1ty Council Michigan Catholic Conference Michigan Community Action Agenc y Association Michigan Ecumenical Forum Honorable Richard Austin John Lore Russell Mawb y Helen Milliken Honorable George Romney c. Further Action. The Comm i ttee authorized the Executive to draft two statements for discussion at the next meeting: --A " Statement of Principles" or OPERATI NG PRINCIPLES, to help orient new members to the Steering Committee; and --Guidelines for organizations to select the i r volunteer representatives to the Steering Comm i ttee. 4.

In the interest of time, Maryellen Lewis limited her report to the FACS Michigan Communication Project. MNF helped to initiate the project 18 months ago (thro ugh Pete Ellis ) and continues to wor k wit h FACS leadership to focus the o verall Project on improv1ng �public understanding of the nonprofit sector through t he press . The Project's proposal includes the fo ll ow 1ng ro l e for the MNF: In addition to servin g as an advisor on this overall theme, MNF wil l assist in the deveiopmen~ of a Journalist Edu cat i on Program on the nonprofit sector, and 1n the implementation of f i ve mar ketlng t media relations wor kshops for nonprof i ts.

B.

"On motion duty made, seconded and adopted, Maryetten Lewis r.xzs appointed to serve as the Acting Executive Director of the Michigan Nonprofit Forwn untit such time as an Executive Director is·appointed, subject to satisfactory performance in the interim." 2. "On motion duty made, seconded and adopted, it r.xzs determined that, upon format approvat of the grant at the requested tevet, Maryetten Lewis witt be compensated as Acting Executive Director at a tevet of at teast $40,000 per annum and benefits equat to those offered through the United Way of Michigan, with the finat tevet of compensation and benefits to be determined at the next me~ting of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum on recommendation of the Search Cammittee.n Since the grant proposal was funded at the requested level effective June 1, 1990, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum Search Committee (membership listed in memo heading) hereby submits the following recommendations to the Steering Committee regarding the Acting Executive Directorship. These recommendations are conveyed for consideration and · action at the June 27 meeting of the Forum. The first recommendation is in direct response to the charge articulated in the second official action cited above. The other recommendations are matters which in the judgment of the Search Committee should be clearly addressed in relationship to the interim staffing situation. I. ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION #A: THE SEARCH COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM STEERING COMMITTEE MODIFY ITS PREVIOUS POSITION TO APPROVE MONTHLY SALARY COMPENSATION AT A RATE OF $43,000 PER ANNUM AND ADDITIONAL MONTHLY PAYMENTS EQUAL TO 20% OF COMPENSATION FOR PURPOSES OF FRINGE BENEFITS TO MARYELLEN LEWIS, EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 1990, AND CONTINUING DURING THE PERIOD OF HER SERVICE AS ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM. �MNF Steering Committee -2- June 27. 1990 EXPLANATION: Upon further inquiry following the last Michigan Nonprofit Forum meeting. it was discovered that the full-time equivalent of the half-time compensation being paid to Ms. Lewis through the Council of Michigan Foundations (for her Forum work) was $43.000 per annum. Thus the $43.000 annualized salary rate recommended above will continue Ms. Lewis at the equivalent of her previous rate. as a matter of fairness. while she performs the full-time interim duties we have asked her to assume. This rate is well within the annual salary range ($40.000 to $50.000) stipulated in the grant proposal and is under the $50.000 rate actually funded in the proposal. II . HIRING OF ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY RECOMMENDATION #B: THE SEARCH COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUTHORIZE ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARYELLEN LEWIS TO SECURE SECRETARIAL SUPPORT SERVICES THROUGH A TEMPORARY AGENCY DURING THE PERIOD OF HER SERVICE AS ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND To EXPEND FOR THAT PURPOSE A MONTHLY AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THE MONTHLY EQUIVALENT OF THE AMOUNT BUDGETED FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY IN THE PROJECT GRANT PROPOSAL. IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LEWIS BE ASKED TO USE THIS TIME AND PROCESS TO SEEK EVALUATE AND ORIENT A UALIFIED AND PROFICIENT SECRETARY FROM A TEMPORARY AGENCY WHO COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR HIRING IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY POSITION BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHEN SELECTED. EXPLANATION: This recommendation is designed to address a dilemma. Considering that we have asked Maryellen Lewis to serve as Acting Executive Director during the search process (scheduled to take at least five months). she must be provided secretarial support during that period. However. new support staff persons probably shouldn't be hired officially (and good secretarial candidates would be reluctant to consider the position) until the Executive Oirector is selected. The authorization to utilize temporary secretarial service provides several advantages: 1.) it fills the need for secretarial services during the interim; 2.) it gives the opportunity to try out secretaries on a probat.ionary period without unemployment compensation or workers' compensation exposure or other liability; 3.) if an individual is retained through a temporary service for a significant period of t ime (usually 90 days but often negotiable) there is no liquidated damages penalty for then hiring them ; 4.} it saves the cost of fringe benef its during this interim period; and 5.) it defers official hiring of a secretary until the Executive Director is named. III. ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S AUTHORITY RECOMMENDATION #C: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS AFFIRM THAT ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARYELLEN LEWIS HAS THE FULL AND APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR POSITION FOR IMPLEMENTATION. ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING OF THE FORUM'S PROGRAM AND OPERATION DURING THE INTERIM ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PERIOD. CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICIES AND DIRECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND IN CONSULTATION WITH THE CHAIR ON ANY COMMITMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS WHICH MAY EXTEND BEYOND THE INTERIM PERIOD. �MNF Steering Committee -3- June 27, 1990 EXPLANATION: This recommendation is believed necessary in light of the five month schedule for the Executive Director search/selection process mandated by the Board. For the sake of the success of the Forum during the critical early months and in fairness to Ms. Lewis, it should be made clear that as Acting Executive Director she has the authority necessary to carry out the duties of the position. IV. LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING WITH ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION #D: THAT THE SEARCH COMMITTEE OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE TO SIGN WITH ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARYELLEN LEWIS A LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING HER COMPENSATION, PERFORMANCE, NOTICE PROVISIONS AND OTHER EMPLOYMENT MATTERS FOR HER PERIOD OF SERVICE AS THE ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM. Thank you for your considerat i on of these recommendations. EOB:jej :7.51 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

IQQQ --::c .?(. ~~j~ . .. n.~-- As members of the policy-making body of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, we commit ourselves to be guided in our deliberations by the Forum's mission: to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector. and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. We recognize the great diversity of the sector and the wide range of stakeholders that the Forum proposes to engage in this mission: nonprofit organizations and professionals, funders, educators and researchers concerned with philanthropy and voluntarism, policymakers and civic leaders, the media, the public sector as it relates to philanthropy and voluntarism, volunteers, and other concerned citizens and contributors. Because of this great diversity, we commit ourselves to seeking common ground and to building bridges that will benefit the Public Good through collaboration and capacity-building. Although some Forum initiatives that we choose may not involve the entire sector and all its stakeholders, as a whole the Forum agenda will be designed to achieve ever greater awareness, effectiveness and informed support of Michigan's nonprofit sec tor and voluntary community. In particular, we commit ourselves to these OPERATING PRINCIPLES: --We will ·distinguish carefully in the activities of the Forum between initiatives that serve the Forum's broad mission and those that would serve only proprietary interests which are more appropriately addressed by our individual organizations or associations. -- We will acknowledge diversity by recogn1z1ng the variety of circumstances of Members and by incorporating those differences into the decision-making process. -- We will seek as a Board to operate from a principle of consensus and collaborative action through the Forum . Telephone (517) 371-4360 • FAX (517) 371-4S46 �-- We will seek and be guided by the best information on Michigan's nonprofit sector, philanthropy and voluntarism, particularly in areas not represented on the Board. -- Since this Board does not claim to be a "representative body" (and recognizes that "representativeness" is not a realistic goal), we will seek to achieve the greatest scope possible in our Board membership and to secure much greater, diverse input through each of our organizational networks. -2- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As you know, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum has been involved with the proposed FACS Michigan Communication Project from its inception, because of its potential for serving the nonprofit sector in this state. On May 10, the MNF Steering Committee formally approved our involvement in the FACS Michigan Communication Project. We will serve in an advisory capacity, in particular to assist FACS to develop a Journalist Education Program on the nonprofit sector and and to implement five media relations/marketing workshops for nonprofit organizations in various communities. (The specific tasks are outlined in the .. Working Agreement .. you have received.} The MNF Steering Committee affirmed the importance of this initiative, in light of our mission to improve public understanding and commitment to the nonprofit sector as a Public Good. We are looking forward to collaborating with FACS to improve the quality of information reaching ~he public through the news. Please let me know if you need further information.

Washington Square, Suite 405, P.O. Box 18219, Laming. Michigan 48901-8219 Guidelines to Member Organizations for Representation on the Board of Trustees Organizational Members of the MNF Board of Trustees each have two Representatives, also known as MNF Trustees: (1) The chief operational officer (or equivalent), and (2) A senior volunteer member of the Board. (3) Where there is no chief operational officer, the Organizational Member has two Board Representatives. The Board Representative(s) is/are selected by each member organization according to their own procedures. In most cases, that person serves as the current or past Chairperson or Chairperson-elect of the member organization. In other cases, another leading Board member has been selected. Whatever the person's formal role, there are several characteristics that contribute to effective participation on the MNF Steering Committee. For example: — The Representative should have an interest in issues of voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. — The Representative should be an acknowledged leader whose voice truly "represents" the organization. — Some consideration should be given to continuity of representation, even if officers change from year to year.

Washington Square, Suite405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219 Maryellen J. Lewis, Acting Executive Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to pressing changes and challenges in the nonprofit sector, leaders of ten statewide organizations concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on August 31, 1988 to consider the formation of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Initially conceived as a mechanism to convene members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has evolved into an entity charged with facilitating a new awareness and increased capacity of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and with interfacing funders, nonprofits and the public (working collaboratively with the existing efforts in the state) to promote voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan. To achieve these goals, the Forum does not itself serve as a trade association, competing for memberships and support with existing associations in Michigan. Nor does it provide the field-specific services and advocacy provided by current Michigan associations. Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for the first time, a statewide mechanism for dialogue, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The Forum brings together in its Steering Committee and its design not just traditional charities, but also public and private funders and tax-supported institutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasinglyrecognized stake. The activities of the Forum address voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary interests but as public goods, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit careful analysis and planning, human resource development, informed public discussion, and dependable investment. MNF Mission and Goals. Nonprofit Forum is: The primary mission of the Michigan to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and Telephone (517) 3714360 • FAX (517) 3714546 �humanities, community development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan. To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities in these five areas: 1. Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings (local, regional and statewide) among sector leaders and stakeholders; it serves as both a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. 2. Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles and disseminates current information and insights, as a basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge base for public policy and practice in the state. 3. pyblic Policy Information: The Forum seeks greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that affect the sector as a whole. 4. Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, within the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment, the Forum promotes greater awareness of resources _across the sector and facilitates collaborative planning ·and action. 5. Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the annual GrantmakersjGrantseekers Seminar, which brings the sector's stakeholders together for day-long presentations and discussions. �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N.

Three Journalist Education programs are under development for next spring, each of which will include the nonprofit sector as a central theme: (1) Poverty (with the Michigan League for Human Services), (2) the Environment (with the Michigan Environmental Council), and (3) the Michigan Nonprofit Sector (supported in part by the Detroit News). Other partners in this effort include the Michigan Press Association and the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. In addition, five "media relations" · workshops are being developed, with the aim of creating networks of nonprofits within regions which can effectively collaborate to inform the public through the news. In the process, MNF is helping to create a statewide organization of nonprofit staff and leaders responsible for public communications. (d) Michigan Volunteer Coalition: Chairman George Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker met with Maryellen Lewis to develop the following strategies: (1) Janet Blanchard will approach the Governor about getting bipartisan support for designating 1991 the Year of the Volunteer in Michigan; (2) Judith Hooker suggested, and the others concurred, that nine regional meetings should be developed to convene leadership teams, develop local strategies, and begin to mobilize support and resources; (3) Governor Romney suggested the possibility that the President's Points of Light Foundation designate Michigan as its one state model, bringing further visibility, prestige and possibly resources to the effort. Since that meeting, Romney and Lewis met with Norman Brown and Joel Orosz at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, leading to their request for a "concept paper" on such a statewide initiative coordinated through the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. �9) The meetinq adjourned at 11:30 a.m. Secretary � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The following newly-elected members have accepted MNF's invitation to join the Steering Committee: At-Large: Richard Austin John Lore Russell Mawby Helen Milliken George Romney �Organizations: Jewish Community Council [pending ratification] Michigan Catholic Conference [pending ratification] Michigan Community Action Agency Association Michigan Ecumenical Forum These organizations have not yet been contacted: Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity Council of Michigan Urban Leagues b. The "Statement of Principles" (to orient new members) was approved, with the following rewording, and allowing for further editorial changes that would not change the meaning and intent. First Operating Principle: "We will distinguish carefully in the activities of the Forum between initiatives that serve the Forum's broad mission and those that would serve only proprietary interests, which are more appropriately addressed by our individual organizations or associations." Third Operating Principle: "We will seek as a Steering Committee to operate from a principle of concensus and collaborative action through the Forum." 4) c. The "Guidelines for Representation" were approved, allowing for further editorial changes that would not change the meaning or intent. d. Optional dates for the fall Annual Meeting were submitted to Maryellen Lewis for later confirmation. Governance: a. Election: Edward 0. Blews was elected Secretary, and Robert E. Ivory was elected Treasurer. b. Bylaws: The Acting Chair appointed a Bylaws Committee to draft bylaws before the next meeting: Glenn R. Stevens, Chair Barbara K. Goldman Justin P. King Maryellen Lewis, ex officio c. Bank Account and Investment Policy: Treasurer Ivory was authorized to initiate a separate bank account for the Forum, with the Executive Director and the Officers authorized to sign. The Executive Director may sign checks individually up to a certain limit, after which a Board signature would also be required. Several ceiling amounts were proposed -- $500, $1,000, -2- �$2,000 -- but the matter was finally delegated to the Treasurer, who will make recommendations based on early experience with the Forum's finances. Member agencies agreed to send their organization's Investment Policies to Maryellen Lewis, to assist in the development of an MNF Investment Policy. d. Search Committee: Committee Chairman Blews requested and received approval for (1) recommendations I through IV of his Committee's June 27 memorandum (attached), (2) the process, schedule and documents described in the second June 27 memorandum(attached), and (3) a postponement of the second closing date from September 15 to September 28. The Committee went into executive session from 10:00 to 10:50 to discuss the Executive Search. 5) Program Report: a. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Program Committee: Dorothy Johnson reported that she and John Lore will Co-Chair the Committee. The Steering Committee enthusiastically endorsed the plan and urged that the leadership of this key committee continue in future years to be shared by a grantmaker and a grantseeker. Dorothy Johnson continued by reporting on the 1990 financial statement (attached) and the formation of the 1991 Committee (master attached), which will retain many experienced members and should include representatives of MNF Member Organizations, achieving an effective balance between grantmakers and the broad range of grantseekers. The Michigan chapters of the NSFRE will be represented, and she suggested that their representation be formalized in the eventual redefinition of this working group as an MNF Standing Committee. b. FACS Michigan Communication Project Update: Maryellen Lewis reported on this program (summary attached) in which MNF serves as an advisor. The program has been funded by the Kellogg foundation and -- as approved by the Steering Committee at its last meeting -- MNF will assist in the design of journalist education programs relating to the nonprofit sector, and of media/marketing workshops for nonprofits in five regions. The Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan League for Human Services also have formal roles in the Project, which is conducted by the Foundation for American Communications in Los Angeles (Peter c . McCarty, Executive Vice President). -3- �6. c. Michigan Volunteer Coalition : Maryellen Lewis reported on the progress of the MVC, an ad hoc coalition convened by George Romney on June 20 in Lansing (report attached). At that meeting, Romney invited the MNF to serve as the coordinating agency for the MVC, an idea supported by the six attending Steering Committee members. Today the Committee unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed that involvement as central to the forum's mission and in its best interest as an emerging organization . d. National database on the Nonprofit Sector: Maryellen Lewis reported on progress being made by MNF to help secure for Michigan the state's data -- drawn from IRS files of #990 forms -- on the nonprofit sector. Eventually, that data will be available to scholars and agencies across the state, through the CRIS database at Michigan State University. e. Scholars Network: The Committee discussed the MNF Scholars Network now in formation, which will stimulate research, teaching, and publication on Michigan's nonprofit sector and the translation of new data into useful tools for practitioners. Constance Julius expressed special interest in having the Michigan Community College Association become involved in related teleconferencing. f. Computer Bulletin Board: Maryellen Lewis reported that Thomas Bernthal had authorized C.J.Schroll to work with the Forum to develop the computer bulletin board. She will meet with him in July. Other Business: a. Dorothy Johnson reported on a new series of workshops for nonprofits that will be sponsored by the Accounting Aid Society called the "Nonprofit Leadership Forum 11 to be co-sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Council for the Arts. She proposed, and the Committee concurred, that we should help to cosponsor this series. She also urged the Acting Executive Director to seek ways to develop the Forum's potential role in this area of training , which is central to the Forum's mission. Don Elliott proposed, and the Committee concurred, that in related areas that are "in keeping with our operating principles 11 , decisions concerning MNF involvement be delegated to the Executive Director. -4- �The meeting adjourned at 11:30 a.m. attachments: Statement of Principles Guidelines for Representation Search Committee memos GGS financial statement & roster FACS summary MVC report Edward 0.

Washington Square, Suite 405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219 Guidelines to Member Organizations for Representation on the Board of Trustees (Adopted 6/27/90) Organizational Members of the MNF Board of Trustees each have two Representatives, also known as MNF Trustees: (1) The chief operational officer (or equivalent), and (2) A senior volunteer member of the Board. (3) Where there is no chief operational officer, the Organizational Member has two Board Representatives. The Board Representative(s) isjare selected by each member organization according to their own procedures. In most cases, that person serves as the current or past Chairperson or Chairperson-elect of the member organization. In other cases, another leading Board member has been selected. Whatever the person's formal role, there are several characteristics that contribute to effective participation on the MNF Board of Trustees. For example: The Representative should have an interest in issues of voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. The Representative should be an acknowledged leader whose voice truly "represents" the organization. -- Some consideration should be given to continuity of representation, even if officers change from year to year. --- �. MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N. Washington Square, Suite405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219 Board of Trustees Statement of Principles NATION-\L PHILA THROP Y DAY O V lo IQQQ ~~.t-~ · . -:- (Adopted 6/27/90) As members of the policy-making body of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, we commit ourselves to be guided in our deliberations by the Forum's mission: to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. We recognize the great diversity of the sector and the wide range of stakeholders that the Forum proposes to engage in this mission: nonprofit organizations and professionals, funders, educators and researchers concerned with philanthropy and voluntarism, policyrnakers and civic leaders, the media, the public sector as it relates to philanthropy and voluntarism, volunteers, and other concerned citizens and contributors. Because of this great diversity, we commit ourselves to seeking common ground and to building bridges that will benefit the Public Good through collaboration and capacity-building. Although some Forum initiatives that we choose may not involve the entire sector and all its stakeholders, as a whole the Forum agenda will be designed to achieve ever greater awareness, effectiveness and informed support of Michigan's nonprofit sector and voluntary community. In particular, we commit ourselves to these OPERATING PRINCIPLES: -- We will distinguish carefully in the activities of the Forum between initiatives that serve the Forum's broad mission and those that would serve only proprietary interests which are more appropriately addressed by our individual organizations or associations. -- We will acknowledge diversity by recognizing the variety of circumstances of Members and by incorporating those differences into the decision-making process. -- We will seek as a Board to operate from a principle of consensus and collaborative action through the Forum. Telephone (5 17) 371-4360 • FAX (517) 371-4546 _-f n . ~-- �-- We will seek and be guided by the best information on Michigan's nonprofit sector, philanthropy and voluntarism, particularly in areas not represented on the Board. -- Since this Board does not claim to be a "representative body'' (and recognizes that "representativeness'' is not a realistic goal), we will seek to achieve the greatest scope possible in our Board membership and to secure much greater, diverse input through each of our organizational networks. -2- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Washington Square, Suite405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219 Maryellen J. Lewis, Acting Executive Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to pressing changes and challenges in the nonprofit sector, leaders of ten statewide organizations concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on August 31, 1988 to consider the formation of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Initially conceived as a mechanism to convene members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has evolved into an entity charged with facilitating a new awareness and increased capacity of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and with interfacing funders, nonprofits and the public (working collaboratively with the existing efforts in the state) to promote voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan. To achieve these goals, the Forum does not itself serve as a trade association, competing for memberships and support with exist ing associations in Michigan. Nor does it provide the field-specific services and advocacy provided by current Michigan associations. Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for the first time, a statewide mechanism for dialogue, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The Forum brings together in its Steering Committee and its design not just traditional charities, but also public and private funders and tax-supported institutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasinglyrecognized stake. The activities of the Forum address voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary interests but as public goods, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit caref ul analysis and planning, human resource development, informed public discussion, and dependable investment. MNF Mission and Goals. Nonprofit Forum is: The primary mission of the Michigan to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michiqan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (heal th, human services, arts and Telephone (517) 371-4360 • FAX (517) 371-4546 �humanities, community development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan. To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities in these five areas: 1. Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings (local, regional and statewide) among sector leaders and stakeholders; it serves as both a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. 2. Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles and disseminates current information and insights, as a basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge base for public policy and practice in the state. 3. Public Policy Information: The Forum seeks greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that affect the sector as a whole. 4. Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, within the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment, the Forum promotes greater awareness of resources across the sector and facilitates collaborative planning and action. 5. Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the annual GrantmakersjGrantseekers Seminar, which brings the sector's stakeholders together for day-long presentations and discussions. �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N.

Austin John s. Lore [Russell G. Mawby, also an incorporator] Helen Milliken George Romney Further, the Trustees agreed to a recommendation by the President of the Council of Baptist Pastors, Rev. Charles Butler, to redirect the Steering Committee's invitation originally intended for that organization. Instead, based on Reverend Butler's recommendation, the Trustees voted unanimously to authorize the Chairman to invite the emerging Michigan Chapter of the Council of National Black Churches to become a member of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's governing board, upon the Chapter's official establishment. Further, the Trustees by consensus agreed to invite Reverend Butler to serve in the newly-created capacity of Interim Trustee, until such time as the Michigan Chapter officially accepts the invitation for membership and determines its two official representatives/Trustees to serve on the MNF Board, or until the May meeting of the Board. 5) Affirmation of the Officers of the Forum. The following officers, duly nominated and elected by the Steering Committee, were unanimously affirmed by the Trustees: Russell G. Mawby, Chair Helen c. Philpott, Vice Chair Edward 0.

(The Forum now staffs and coordinates the Coalition.) The Trustees anticipated that the new Committee (the MVC Coordinating Committee) will be chaired by Governor Romney and Co-Chaired by Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker, who also chair and cochair the Coalition.

(c) FACS Michigan Communication Project: Maryellen Lewis reported on this collaboration with the Foundation for American Communications in Los Angeles. Three Journalist Education programs are under development for next spring, each of which will include the nonprofit sector as a central theme: (1) Poverty (with the Michigan League for Human Services), (2) the Environment (with the Michigan Environmental Council), and (3) the Michigan Nonprofit Sector (supported in part by the Detroit News) . Other partners in this effort include the Michigan Press Association and the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. In addition, five ''media relations" workshops are being developed, with the aim of creating networks of nonprofits within regions which can effectively collaborate to inform the public through the news. In the process, MNF is helping to create a statewide organization of nonprofit staff and leaders responsible for public communications. (d) Michiqan Volunteer Coalition: Chairman George Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker met with Maryellen Lewis to develop the following strategies: (1) Janet Blanchard will approach the Governor about getting bipartisan support for designating 1991 the Year of the Volunteer in Michigan; (2) Judith Hooker suggested, and the others concurred, that nine regional meetings should be developed to convene leadership teams, develop local strategies, and begin to mobilize support and resources; (3) Governor Romney suggested the possibility that the President's Points of Light Foundation designate Michigan as its one state model, bringing further visibility, prestige and possibly resources to the effort. Since that meeting, Romney and Lewis met with Norman Brown and Joel Orosz at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, leading to their request for a "concept paper" on such a statewide initiative coordinated through the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. �9) The meetinq adjourned at 11:30 a.m. Rt;;x.F{.ed, Edward 0.
