It will be held at 2:00PM, Wednesday, February 21st. Our Program Directors will be sharing their current methods of assisting programs achieve high quality and/or how they select high quality grantees in the quality areas we have collectively identified. In addition, they want to have a discussion about how we should promote these standards of quality. Frankly, some feel that revising the Quality document would be a waste of effort (though it was important in our first year of operation) and that we should simply collectively change our guidelines to reflect this new common quality language. Others feel a different format would be appropriate for promoting these quality values. Let me know if you can make it. Avelina thought you might be free. We will be meeting for an hour. changes 6241 Page 1 Thompson, Avelina To: To: Ekstrom, Jim; Potter, Lance; Waldman, Steven; Cohen, Bruce; Kari, Carolyn; Rymph, David; Sofer, Gene; Gray, Tracy@CNCS MS Mail Serve; Jospin, Debbie@CNCS MS Mail Se; Russell, Mike@CNCS MS Mail Ser; Heinaru, Peter@CNCS MS Mail Se; Rosenberry, Peg@CNCS MS Mail S Cc: Raines, Susan; Walker, Elinor; Harrison, Rosa@CNCS MS Mail Se; Perdue, Patricia; lhator, laurel@CNCS MS Mail Se; Spitale, Nicole; Parnell, Ulysses Subject: FW: Great job--Option Papers This is to confirm my last e-mail of February 16 at 1:04 p.m. that the Option Papers followup meeting will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, February 21 at 4:30 p.m. in room 9520.

DRIVE CAREFULLY! 4750 AMELIA ISLAND PARKWAY, AMELIA ISLAND, FLORIDA 32034 (904) 277-1000 GOVERNOR THE OF OFFICE STATE OF OHIO STATE OF OHIO OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR GEORGE V. VOINOVICH COLUMBUS 43266-0601 GOVERNOR February 1, 1996 To Whom It May Concern The Commission on National Head Start Fellowships Council for Early Childhood Professional Recognition, Inc. 2460 16th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20009-3575 Dear Sirs: It is with great confidence that I recommend Ms. Susan Rohrbough for a position within the National Head Start Fellows Program. Ms. Rohrbough would bring a wonderful blend of practical program experience, tested state system-change leadership and unswerving dedication to the children and families of Head Start. It is precisely this blend of experienced leadership which has helped propel Ohio to its premier national position in providing early childhood education services. Please accept my responses to your seven questions. 1. How long and in what connection have you known the applicant? I have known Ms. Rohrbough for four years. As the Director of Ohio's Head Start Collaboration Project, I supervise her activities on behalf of Governor George V. Voinovich. I also am proud to count Susan as a wise friend. 2. What are the applicant's major strengths? Far and away Ms. Rohrbough's key strength is her passion for children in need. This passion guides all her professional decisions. She advocates, then she negotiates. Ms. Rohrbough also is highly organized and is a fair, but firm, taskmaster. 3. What impact has the applicant had on his or her professional field? In answering this question, I would point to two powerful messages Ms. Rohrbough has conveyed to Ohio's Head Start community. As Ohio's state funding commitment to Head Start grew from $18 million in SFY 1990-91 to this biennium's $154 million figure, the task of guaranteeing the proper balance between expanding quickly to serve more children and maintaining high quality standards fell squarely on Ms. Rohrbough's shoulders. On many occasions, she waded into difficult situations. The sheer force of her commitment to quality standards helped push through new state laws and administrative monitoring procedures which now apply to both Head Start and Public Preschool. National Head Start Fellowship Program Page Two The second, and perhaps more long-term, impact Ms. Rohrbough has had on her professional field addresses how Head Start views itself and its relationship within the larger early childhood education system. She has helped Head Start professionals to think of themselves as part of this system. This ongoing evolution is key to Ohio's school readiness effort. Through her leadership, Head Start professionals are embracing our Ohio Early Start infant and toddler program. They're also partnering with child care programs and playing a much more active role in kindergarten transitioning. As the rest of the nation focuses on budget cuts and building a wall around Head Start, Ms. Rohrbough has helped Ohio think about building bridges between Head Start and other relevant family programs. She is helping her profession to think about a continuum of development as well as leading other programs to embrace the core values which have made Head Start a model worth emulating. 4. What impact has this individual had in the community, outside his or her professional realm? Ms. Rohrbough has a long history of civic involvement. Quite frankly, I have urged her to slow down a bit outside the job these past years. The incredibly difficult agenda she must pursue at the office can be personally draining. Despite my urging that Ms. Rohrbough spend a little more of her leisure time in leisure, I think her application details her continued involvement with others seeking her assistance. 5. How would you describe this candidate's public speaking ability? Over the past few years, Ms. Rohrbough has become a polished public speaker. She is able to take difficult concepts and complex program nuances and convey them to audiences in a practical manner. 6. How would you describe this candidate's leadership skills? By asking Ms. Rohrbough to operate the Head Start Collaborative project from the vantage of the Governor's Office, Ohio put a spotlight on the task at hand. By putting the power and prestige of the Governor's Office behind Ms. Rohrbough, she was often asked to negotiate difficult compromises between and among stakeholders in the fastest growing early childhood education system in the nation. To ensure success for Head Start families, she routinely helped devise solutions which were acceptable to children, families, program staff, program administrators, state agency officials and a Governor and legislature who were keeping a close eye on their investment. The best testament to Ms. Rohrbough's leadership skills is the phenomenal success of our programs. She has delivered program expansion, unparalleled service system integration, and managed to maintain the respect and friendship of her colleagues. I envy her skills. National Head Start Fellowship Program Page Three 7. What would you expect this candidate to be doing in five years? In the year 2001, I envision attending a "How-To" seminar being conducted by noted author and practitioner Susan Rohrbough. I know there's a book in her soul just waiting to be written. Everyone in America who cares about children and our nation's continued economic and moral success will want to read this basic primer. I'm hoping for a free autographed copy. In closing, I highly recommend Ms. Rohrbough for a National Head Start Fellowship. My only hesitation in making this recommendation is the realization that your gain will be my loss. Susan has so much to share with others. She will not let you down.

Page 2 Thompson, Avelina From: Sagawa, Shirley To: Thompson, Avelina Subject: FW: National NSSC Project Director Association Board Meetings Date: Monday, January 29, 1996 9:13AM From: Endres, Tom To: Sofer, Gene; Scheibel, James A.; Sagawa, Shirley; Jospin, Debbie@CNCS MS Mail Se Cc: Raines, Susan; Butler, Frances Subject: National NSSC Project Director Association Board Meetings Date: Friday, January 26, 1996 4:16PM Fran's out for several days and I want, in her stead, to give you an early alert. The three National Project Director Associations (RSVP, FGP, & SCP) have scheduled their spring board meetings in late February. They have requested a joint meeting with Corporation Officials on Monday, February 26 from about 1 to 3:00 p.m. A site has not been determined for the meeting. Additionally, there has been some discussion with Melinda about the possibility of using the the Board's presence as a time to meet the commitment made to involve them in a reauthorization discussion. Would you please block out your schedules from about 1 - 5: p.m. on that day so we have the schedule flexibility to figure out the particulars of agenda and representation. We will prepare the new schedule request forms early next week. I believe this meeting to be very important. We need to consider this a key meeting since we have the opportunity to communicate directly, at an importnat time with the Association Board representatives from across the country - about 45 elected NSSC project director representatives. This is an opportunity to communicate Corporation interests, further collaborative strategies, and to strenghten support from this constitutiency as we continue to confront budget and re-authorization issues. It is important to keep in mind that they already have had extensive discussion about re-authorization issues and will undoubtedly advocate their perceived organizational interests. Thus, we should be ready to handle hard issues exacerbaded by increasing levels of anxiety. Upon Fran's return to the office on Monday, I recommend that she be the contact/coordinator for these meetings. We will need to set up one or more strategy sessions to do adequate preparation for Corporate participant presentations. NSSC will develop a proposed schedule and set of issue/background papers for leadership's consideration. If you have any questions, please let me know or feel free to contact Fran directly.

As you know, this group of 8 Corporation State Office Directors and 8 State Commission Directors will meet from March 11-12 in Kansas City to finalize recommendations on various models for the Corporation's delivery system. In order to bring Ted aboard, to seek your advice about this second meeting in light of the current budget/political situation, and to hear your reactions to the draft of the first meeting, we would like to set up brief (15 minute) meetings with each of you next week, preferably on Tuesday the 27th or Wednesday the 28th. I'll be calling you or your secretaries to set up an exact time. The importance and complexity of this working group's task did not escape Ted nor myself as we planned on the phone today with Steve Schad, Nancy Deaver and Zeke Rodriquez. By meeting with you soon, we will feel even more confident that this next meeting will be as productive as possible.

Gretchen -- I think it makes sense for you to go to the PLC meeting discussed below, if you can. From: Milton, Catherine To: Sagawa, Shirley Subject: Planning Process --- Next Steps Date: Thursday, February 15, 1996 1:16PM Priority: High It was good to talk to you and AnnMaura today. Here is my understanding of the next steps that we agreed to: Shirley will arrange a conference call for next Tuesday with Harris, AnnMaura, Gretchen, PLC, and any others she wants to include to discuss the options for a "fellowship" program that will be woven into a proposal to Kellogg and Kaufman; Based on this input, Catherine and the PLC will continue to do strategic planning with their two programs (NSSE and Enviornment) to flush out the best ideas for funding proposals (in outline form). We will invite Gretchen to attend these sessions which will take place Wed. and part of Thurs. next week and will figure out ways to involve AnnMaura at the appropriate times by phone; Gretchen will convene ASAP the AmeriCorps Leaders, VISTA Leaders and PLC (by phone ) to lay out the options for going ahead with one single "leadership" proposal. We will also discuss with these parties the possiblity of including other partners (POLF and YSA) which would be done in another meeting. I just got a strange letter from Roger which I am faxing to you and based on this I recommend working only with POLF and not him. Lisa and Kevin will be in DC on March 11 to work with Meri and Julie. Catherine will be on the East Coast and for a little bit of extra money could participate there in a planning meeting with the key partners if it makes sense. Other options: Either Lisa or Kevin and I could come there on March 18. Finally, Harris is supposed to give a big speech in the Bay Area the week of March 18 and I want to invite him to spend a few hours with the staff of the PLC so we can discuss the future options with him (obviously we would prefer to have you here at the same time but am assuming that is not practical.) Is this all ok? Shall I call Harris today and tell him my plans, that you and I are working closely to plan for a strong future for the PLC (involving him by phone and perhaps in person in DC) and invite him to vist while he is in SF????? 2/2/1 We 5.m 2/22 430 1201 New York Avenue, NW me Washington, DC 20525 2/23/ Telephone 202-606-5000 711 Page 1 Getting Things Done.

Also, Tom called my office voice mail on Sunday to say that he talked to Harris (I presume over the weekend?) and Harris was very supportive.
