VI.1.e: Policy Formulation

Form working groups to provide guidance and expert advice on the formulation of policies.

Other Information:

A number of working groups consisting of Corporation staff and grantees, project sponsors and other interested stakeholders have been formed to provide guidance and expert advice on the formulation of policies. For example, Senior Corps staff meets on a quarterly basis with the leadership of the four national Senior Corps associations to discuss policies and priorities, and a working group has been meeting to discuss the Serve America Act provision to introduce more competition into Senior Corps’ RSVP program. AmeriCorps program staff gathered input from a working group of state commissions and national direct grantees on implementing the single competition established by the Serve America Act and to develop a set of best practices for the new requirement that multi‐state projects consult with the state commission in each state in which they propose to operate. A separate working group of state commission and grantee staff was formed to provide input and feedback on draft performance measures for AmeriCorps, a key feature of the Serve America Act.
