Call for Proposals
Integrating Community Indicators and Performance Measures

The Community Indicators Consortium (CIC), as part of a grant from the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, is seeking proposals to write "Real Stories" of communities, organizations, and/or jurisdictions that have tried, successfully and not so successfully, to integrate community indicators and organizational performance measures.

The Real Stories project is intended to provide real life examples of the advantages and challenges to both community indicator and organizational performance measurement projects as a result of integrating or linking these two types of efforts. The published Real Stories, from 5-20 pages in length, will be used to advance the knowledge of community indicators-organizational performance measures integration and for training and other outreach material to community leaders as a way to improve or inform decision-making and create measurable, positive change in communities.

We are looking for proposals from individuals and groups who are directly involved in these efforts as well as individuals and organizations that work with community indicator and performance measurement projects. A stipend of $2,000 will be awarded for each Real Stories published.Three-to-five Real Stories will be selected for publication in 2010.

The deadline for submitting proposals for the 2010 Call for Real Stories is June 22, 2010. Notification of selected proposals and guidelines for development will be sent on July 15th. The deadline for the written first draft is September 15, 2010.

Visit the CIC web site for more information about the Real Stories project and the call for proposals. You can also download the Real Stories Proposal submittal form in Word format for more details, or contact the Project Steering committee at CIPM@...

Last Call for Real Story Proposals
Integrating Community Indicators and Performance Measures

There is still time left to submit a proposal for a Real Story about integrating community indicators and performance measures.

Up to five proposals will be selected for publication in 2010 as examples of "Real Stories" of communities, organizations, and/or jurisdictions that have tried, successfully and not so successfully, to integrate community indicators and organizational performance measures.

The authors of each "Real Story" will receive a $2,000 stipend when the stories are published at the end of 2010.

The Real Stories project is intended to provide real life examples of the advantages and challenges to both community indicator and organizational performance measurement projects as a result of integrating or linking these two types of efforts. The published Real Stories, from 5-20 pages in length, will be used to advance the knowledge of community indicators-organizational performance measures integration and for training and other outreach material to community leaders as a way to improve or inform decision-making and create measurable, positive change in communities.

This effort is supported by a grant that the Community Indicators Consortium (CIC) received from the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to promote, advocate for, and develop a community of practice for community indicators-performance measurement (CI-PM) integration, and for engaging citizens and other key community stakeholders in the process.

The deadline for submitting proposals for the 2010 Call for Real Stories is July 7th, 2010. Notification of selected proposals and guidelines for development will be sent on July 31st. The deadline for the written first draft is September 15, 2010.

Sam's Club will offer small-business loans

Program will focus on minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Sam's Club said Tuesday it will offer small business loans of up to $25,000 to its small business members.

The division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which is based in Bentonville, Ark., is testing a program with Superior Financial Group, one of 13 federally licensed nonbank lenders, and will offer $5,000 to $25,000 loans to members who qualify.

Sam's Club says 15 percent of its business members reported they were denied a loan in a November survey. That's up from 12 percent in April 2009.

The program will focus on minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses.

Sam's Club members who apply for a small business loan during the pilot will receive $100 off the application fee, a 20 percent discount and a discount on interest rates.

Businesses can pay $35 for a membership to Sam's Club that includes three annual membership cards that allow them to shop at 600 Sam's Clubs in the U.S. Sam's Club offers other memberships to consumers and businesses that cost as much as $100 annually depending on the features included.

Although the economy has grown for three straight quarters, tight credit remains a problem for many consumers and businesses.

"Access to capital is a major pain point for our members," said Catherine Corley, vice president, membership at Sam's Club.

Subject: Collateral and limiting exposure on micro-loans

Greetings –

I am working with a small micro-lender in the Northeast that is reviewing its loan approval guidelines. Historically, the fund has secured loans (up to $35,000) by accepting personal and business assets as collateral. Unfortunately, during this recent economic downturn, the organization learned just how limited this collateral really is – if a borrower defaulted and the loan was sent to a collections agency, the lender was likely to receive no more than 30 cents on the dollar, and often less than that. Traditional collateral, such as a car, equipment, house, or other business assets, are just not practical for a small non-profit lender to repossess and resell.

So, my question is, do you (small CDFI micro-lender) use personal and business assets as collateral? Beyond the symbolism, how valuable is such collateral when a business goes into default? Do you have a policy about limiting exposure when using such collateral?

Other related questions: If you don’t use business or personal assets as collateral, do you rely on a co-signer? A third party guarantor (city agency or other lender)? Do you engage in purely “character” lending?

We would like to come up with meaningful policies and procedures for establishing collateral requirements and would like to know what others are doing and, most importantly, what works best?

Thanks, and please reply directly to me,

Hi LPO leaders and all,

As Ellen Puccia, the new LPO Liaison for NAPA, probably told you already, I had to step down in the middle of the 5 year term as LPO Liaison. Our company went through a merger plus I travel so much for the job that I just couldn’t do the Liaison position justice anymore. I am so grateful to Ellen for taking over.

For those of you who I got to meet at the last 3-4 luncheons during AAA and at the booth during AAA, thank you! You’re in good hands with Ellen now and I wish you all well with your LPOs. LPO leaders are the unsung heroes of Anthro. You help so many people in their careers and the work you do is important for the profession, so keep on organizing!

‘Hope to see you around at the conferences, or if you’re ever in Chicago, look me up.

All the best,

Rebecca

Outgoing LPO liaison for NAPA

Hello, LPO members.

As the AAA annual meeting is rapidly approaching, there are several items I would like to make the LPO's aware of before the meeting.

1. NAPA/LPO booth volunteers: NAPA and the LPO's will have time at the AAA booth as well as our own booth at the Employer Expo and at the Student Saturday Grad School Fair. We are looking for volunteers to work an hour each (or more) at the NAPA/LPO booth on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (Nov 18-20, 11am-1pm). On Friday, Nov 19, NAPA will have a booth at the Employer Expo (11am-4pm). On Saturday, Nov 20, NAPA will have a booth at the Student Saturday Grad School Fair (10am-2pm). With so much traffic from students and early career professionals, this would be a good way to meet potential new members for your organization. No special knowledge is needed. Info about all LPO's will be available at the booths. The location of the booth will be listed in the conference program. Volunteers should sign up with Ellen Puccia: epuccia@.... Please see attached sign-up sheet.

2. Represent your LPO at the LPO luncheon: On Friday, Nov 19, from 12noon-2pm, we will have our annual LPO luncheon at a nearby restaurant. This will be primarily a social function where we can informally discuss news and issues relevant to LPO's. This would be a great time for new LPO organizers and more seasoned LPO participants to share their experiences from many perspectives. There are several options for lunch, but we are trying to find a place with New Orleans cuisine. The LPO member from your organization who plans to attend the luncheon should e-mail Ellen Puccia, epuccia@... as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for your help with these matters. I look forward to hearing from you.

2. Represent your LPO at the LPO luncheon: On Friday, Nov 19, from 12noon-2pm, we will have our annual LPO luncheon at a nearby restaurant. This will be primarily a social function where we can informally discuss news and issues relevant to LPO's. This would be a great time for new LPO organizers and more seasoned LPO participants to share their experiences from many perspectives. There are several options for lunch, but we are trying to find a place with New Orleans cuisine. The LPO member from your organization who plans to attend the luncheon should e-mail Ellen Puccia, epuccia@... as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for your help with these matters. I look forward to hearing from you.

Ellen Puccia

LPO Liaison

This is really a great topic for SCOPA. I'm glad they published this because I do agree with the premise. It is simply too hard for academicians to stay academic if they then try to implement and realize the potential of CBPR. Places like FICS and ICR are needed to form a bridge and create the space for communities to really own the projects and to realize the true potential of CBPR. It's a long commitment and involved process but so worth it.

Impact of Community-Based Participatory Research Increases With Greater Dissemination

Academic institutions, community partners and researchers can all help by expanding their roles in CBPR projects.
Unlike traditional medical research, Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) places an emphasis on making sure that community members who help researchers conduct studies in their neighborhoods will be included in discussions of findings and receive advice on how to make use of them when appropriate. But new research shows that the quality and extent of CBPR follow-up varies widely and, as a result, researchers and community members are often unable to make the best use of study results.

To better understand how CBPR can be more effective for all involved, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Clinical Scholar 2007-2010 Peggy Chen, M. D., has just completed a study that shows researchers, academic institutions and communities how to greatly increase community participation and the possibility that study findings will be implemented in community settings.

Chen also highlights examples of CBPR projects that work well for all participants.
