Major projects completed:

  • Four new AmeriCorps program started this past month: Seeds of Hope, Game Loft, MSAD 70, and Main Street Skowhegan.  The ongoing process of reviewing and approving member position descriptions, technical assistance regarding the Corporation for National and Community Service’s (CNCS’) enrollment requirements, and communicating updates to and from CNCS continues.
  • Participated in the AmeriCorps Member Conference, which was on 3/27. Most of my time on this event was spent with the Program Staff at the Technical Assistance (TA) meeting.

 Issues to be aware of:

  • Prepared a timeline for the Office of Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service because they were contacted by an AmeriCorps member.
