Hello All,
I have received confirmation from Newark (Jarrad Toussant, Sr Education Advisor), LA (Joan Sullivan,
Deputy Mayor of Education) and Memphis (Bobby White, Chief of Staff) that they will be attending the
call tomorrow. I have directed them to email Adam as well.
With Mayor Johnson, that puts us at 19 mayors. I also feel confident that we will have at least 3-5 more
from my phone calls with the following mayors offices:
Cleveland
Seattle
Oklahoma City
Denver
Hartford
Tulsa
Rochester
Pembroke Pines
Nashville
Boston
I also resent the invitation plus a reminder message to the remaining mayors office assistants. A few
more should come from that.
Looking forward to tomorrows call!
Best,
Mariah

Some additional detail on the half of funds going to States that would be distributed to support projects
most needed:
States would make the determination of what projects are most needed using objective criteria, such as
the fiscal capacity of districts, the percentage of children who are from low-income families, and the
needs of districts for assistance. The needs of districts for assistance might entail factors such as the
condition of their school facilities. The states criteria would have to be included in their application
to the Department.

To: 'Mariah Sheriff'; [email protected]; Sprow, Stephanie
HI Mariah. To ensure that public schools in the most disrepair will be able to make necessary
enhancements, almost 40% of the funds will be directed toward the 100 largest high-need districts.
Each of the 100 districts with the largest numbers of children living in poverty would receive a formula
amount proportionate to its Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I, Part A allocation
within 60 days of enactment. The remaining roughly 60% will be awarded to states based on their Title
I shares. States would direct half the funding to districts on a formula basis and half through a TBD
application process in the most high-need districts, with a priority for rural districts.

the mayors you listed.
Thanks for sending updated TPs our way. I still had a question about how schools need will be
determined (based on the clause in the AJA that the $25B pledged to modernize public schools will go
to schools most in need). Adam, maybe you could help us out with this?
Safe travels, Stephanie.

Hello All,
I have received confirmation from Newark (Jarrad Toussant, Sr Education Advisor), LA (Joan Sullivan,
Deputy Mayor of Education) and Memphis (Bobby White, Chief of Staff) that they will be attending the
call tomorrow. I have directed them to email Adam as well.
With Mayor Johnson, that puts us at 19 mayors. I also feel confident that we will have at least 3-5 more
from my phone calls with the following mayors offices:
Cleveland
Seattle
Oklahoma City
Denver
Hartford
Tulsa
Rochester
Pembroke Pines
Nashville
Boston
I also resent the invitation plus a reminder message to the remaining mayors office assistants. A few
more should come from that.
Looking forward to tomorrows call!

Some additional detail on the half of funds going to States that would be distributed to
support projects most needed:
States would make the determination of what projects are most needed using
objective criteria, such as the fiscal capacity of districts, the percentage of children
who are from low-income families, and the needs of districts for assistance. The
needs of districts for assistance might entail factors such as the condition of their
school facilities. The states criteria would have to be included in their application to
the Department.

HI Mariah. To ensure that public schools in the most disrepair will be able to make
necessary enhancements, almost 40% of the funds will be directed toward the 100
largest high-need districts. Each of the 100 districts with the largest numbers of
children living in poverty would receive a formula amount proportionate to its
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I, Part A allocation within
60 days of enactment. The remaining roughly 60% will be awarded to states based
on their Title I shares. States would direct half the funding to districts on a formula
basis and half through a TBD application process in the most high-need districts, with
a priority for rural districts.

I did receive the invitation this morning, thanks again for sending it out. Ill forward
the invitation to the mayors you listed.
Thanks for sending updated TPs our way. I still had a question about how schools
need will be determined (based on the clause in the AJA that the $25B pledged to
modernize public schools will go to schools most in need). Adam, maybe you could
help us out with this?

Hi Beverly!
I just spoke to our office, and you are confirmed to bring 20 people from 100 Black Men to next
Friday's Education session at the National Conference of Black Mayors. We ask that you commit to fill
these spots, as we will hold them for you (but I know that won't be an issue for you!)
One thing to note - though Mayor Johnson would like you and other faith / civil rights leaders to attend,
Q&A will prioritize Mayors in attendance, since the session was originally targeted towards Black
Mayors.
Thank you Beverly - please let me know if you need any additional information. I will send an email
with logistical details prior to the event. I will be your POC for this event - looking forward to seeing you
again in Atlanta.
Thanks,
Meera

1. Include update and reminder on your Agenda in Birmingham (5min or less)
2. Continue to make calls for commitment forms ( ongoing)
3. Send an update email on Sept 12 to all
4. Schedule the next call (just NCBM) for late September or early October. (Mayor
would like to do late Sept. I am out of office the last two weeks and his schedule is
packed)
Perhaps we can discuss, particularly #1and #4, on Tuesday. This should be a piece
of cake compared to what you are dealing with. :) This might be a good handoff to
new ED. :):)
Get ready to enjoy your weekend.

Mayor,
This is to confirm that we will not be doing a movie screening during
Birmingham empowerment week.
I've confirmed this with the movie people and am waiting to hear back

Re: FW: cover letter on ACA

I'm good following up with Kellyn directly on the toolkit contents.

We should really push them to write the letter - tell them Mayor Johnson wants
them to do so. They're backing out of doing the heavy lifting already. Did you see
Kasia's response for data? She basically said here's a link feel free to play around
with the data for yourself.
We need to make it clear that if MKJ is going to make this an NCBM initiative, we
will need their support.

This is the follow up from the White House. I will review the notes from Mariah
and Frances while I am traveling. I know there are several action items however
there are a couple of things we should get on right away. First of all we will need
to provide our input on the toolkit immediately. Mariah, would you like to follow
up with Kellyn on that. It sounds like they are trying to finalize next week.
Secondly, need to get a date. Thirdly, Frances, can you draft the Mayor?s cover
letter based on our discussion and update our plan.
Let?s all provide more insight once we have reviewed all the notes. Thanks.

Thanks for a great call on Monday. We are incredibly appreciative of the Mayor?s
enthusiasm for the ACA.
The toolkit is moving along and we hope to be ready to release next week. Per
our discussion, below are some bullets that the Mayor can use in writing his cover
letter to accompany the packet. Please feel free to modify, re-word and put into
the Mayor?s own voice, these are just ideas.
Let us know if you need anything else and we will be in touch with an update on
timing for a call with NCBM members and the completed toolkit shortly.

? From October 1 through March 31, millions of Americans will have access to
sign up for lost-cost and subsidized access to affordable health insurance through
the Health Insurance Marketplaces created through the Affordable Care Act
? Elected officials play a unique role as trusted messengers in educating
constituents about the choices they will have and the opportunity to create
healthier communities
?
Some ways elected officials can get involved in this important effort include
o Educating themselves and their staff about the options that will be
available in the Health Insurance Marketplaces
o Providing access to printed materials and computer portals at city
hall or in other government offices & adding information to city
websites
o Hosting an information session (or multiple sessions) about the
Health Insurance Marketplace before October 1
o Hosting enrollment sessions where constituents can sign up in the
Marketplace between October 1 and March 31.

Some additional detail on the half of funds going to States that would be distributed to
support projects most needed:
States would make the determination of what projects are most needed using objective
criteria, such as the fiscal capacity of districts, the percentage of children who are from
low-income families, and the needs of districts for assistance. The needs of districts for
assistance might entail factors such as the condition of their school facilities. The
state?s criteria would have to be included in their application to the Department.

HI Mariah. To ensure that public schools in the most disrepair will be able to make
necessary enhancements, almost 40% of the funds will be directed toward the 100
largest high-need districts. Each of the 100 districts with the largest numbers of
children living in poverty would receive a formula amount proportionate to its
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I, Part A allocation within
60 days of enactment. The remaining roughly 60% will be awarded to states based on
their Title I shares. States would direct half the funding to districts on a formula basis
and half through a TBD application process in the most high-need districts, with a
priority for rural districts.

I did receive the invitation this morning, thanks again for sending it out. I?ll forward
the invitation to the mayors you listed.
Thanks for sending updated TPs our way. I still had a question about how schools? ?
need? will be determined (based on the clause in the AJA that the $25B pledged to
modernize public schools will go to schools most in need). Adam, maybe you could help
us out with this?

clarification. The list of 66 mayors I sent your way are all on the USCM Education

I left this person a message so there may not be any follow up unless you have
additional information or want to speak with him regarding this matter.
Henry Hurt
Hurt Electric
Wisconsin Area (suburb of Milwaukee)
262-252-0500 x115
He wanted to know if we knew of Partner America who is trying to do business in

his area and listing that they are doing business with the Conference of Mayors.
Apparently the person is dropping the Mayor?s name and/ or the organization.
In my voice mail message I let him know that I was not aware of any relationship
with Partner America. I also asked if they were doing business with the USCM or
NCBM. I asked him to email me any additional information he may have or call
the USCM directly if that was the organization being referenced.
Please feel free to follow up if you have additional information.

I like the twitter and facebook post idea. We probably need to do a basic email also since I?m not
sure how tech savvy the Mayors are. Every other day is fine. Let?s prepare to send something
out Friday to launch the effort.
Nick, Can you develop a schedule or workplan for us. I am available now to discuss.
Corina, please touch base in the morning.

We should definitely get the NCBM Mayors involved. The personal stories are
great, but maybe we could just do a Monday, Wednesday, Friday distribution so
we don't inundate them - we may get an update from the court hearing, so we
don't want too many things going out.
Maybe Nick and Corina could craft some short twitter messages and facebook
posts to provide our Mayors? Here's a link to some ACA social media

Hi All,
It looks like the White House probably wants something to happen next week. I
have reached out to the CA group however I think the WH is more interested in
what we are doing with NCBM since they represent a tough market place. What
do you think about us doing this and sending out a notice by Friday:
Dec 16-23: NCBM ?Reachout and Touch? Week for ACA
We could ask all NCBM to

? Connect with a partner to help get the word out
? Email a success story with us and maybe place on their website
? Tweet, place on facebook, send out email to constituents
? Send out a Press Release
We would send out an email message each morning M-F as a reminded and
highlight a story.
Stories such as:
Leonard, 56 years old, showed up 30 min early at Central Library

and was the first to get served. His insurance had been cancelled
and he has high blood pressure. He really needs his medicine. He
came with all his paperwork and qualified for insurance for
$1/month.
Lady A discontinued her insurance 2 years ago because it was too
expensive. She was able to enroll in a better plan for one third the
cost of her previous plan.
Lady B is on Social Security Assistance and travels from
Sacramento to Fresno to receive healthcare. She currently pays
$150 per month. With Covered CA she will only pay $72 per month
and will be able to access services in Sacramento. She is excited!!!
Family of 5 seeking healthcare. Wife has healthcare, kids have
Medi-Cal, husband has no health insurance. They were seeking
one policy that covers the entire family. Result ??
Taylor and Tyler are 20 year old twins in college with no healthcare.
They are very active young adults. They signed up at the Church on Enrollment
Day.
Nick and Corina could manage as their last project. What do you think? I am
open. What we need Elected Officials to do is to help get the word out.

From: Cassandra Jennings [mailto:[email protected]]

To: Blossom, Kellyn
Okay. We will not send out to NCBM or anyone else. We do have a number of
things going on next week re ACA. I look forward to the call tomorrow.

Thanks Cassandra ? this call is intended for key staff in top markets about 20
people, so would ask that you not send out to NCBM.
The call with Valerie Jarrett is still on hold until we are able to reschedule when
she returns from South Africa. Thanks for your help and understanding.

To: Blossom, Kellyn
Hi Kellyn,
Thanks. I plan to join in. Have you notified the NCBM who have been
participating or shall I? And shall I assume unless otherwise indicated that it is
okay to invite NCBM to these calls? Lastly I assume the call with Valerie Jarred in
which Mayor Johnson was asked to present is still on hold? Thanks for your
clarification.

Hi Mayor Goodall,
Thanks for the information. We do plan to sign up for the webinar. As Mayor Johnson mentioned we
are not able to be in DC. We are definitely committed to the Let's Move Initiative and glad to hear we
are with good company, Forest Heights. As you can imagine we have had our hands full over the past
few weeks and since we last spoke. It becomes clearer and clearer as to what is the right thing to do.
In addition we have spoken to a few other people regarding the HUD grant. It is definitely on our list
of items to follow up on. Next week in a critical week in our earlyefforts to restore NCBM to a
reputable and "go to" organization. I will also email you, under separate cover, a specific email update.
Have a safe July 4th celebration.

Ben,
What is the normal protocol for responding to press inquiries? Does the Mayor
review these? We can have the NCBM PR team respond. I will send it to them.
The answers are:
1) Ms. Williams was terminated by the Board in Director's in September.
2) While we were aware of some preliminary discussion Vanessa had with
Bermuda, since her termination the current board has not engaged in any dialogues
and any planning is unauthorized because she was terminated.

Good afternoon Ben,
My name is Gareth Finighan and I?m a reporter with The Royal Gazette newspaper in

I?m writing to put some questions to Mayor Johnson in his capacity as president of the

My questions are;
1) Is Vanessa Williams still executive director of the NCBM?
2) Is Major Johnson aware of plans for the NCBM to host a conference in Bermuda in
October of this year?
I?d very much appreciate it if the mayor could get back to me on these Ben.
Many thanks,

Once you give me the ok I can direct the reporter to the NCBM PR team.

MKJ and team planning a faith conference on education policy on Sept 21 in Atlanta (~10a-3p or

We may invite a few mayors from the BOD to attend the summit or a portion of it

Adrianne,
Thanks for sending this. Not sure why I didn't see it earlier. Mariah, this is problematic
because while they've suggested the weekend we requested, they've also scheduled the retreat
for the entire three days (9/21-9/23) which is not what the Mayor asked of them. That said, I
think we request that weekend and inform Vanessa that the Mayor will not be able to attend
the session on Friday dealing with operations and finance, but will be able to attend the
weekend session related to the Bylaws and Goals for 2012 and 2013.
Thoughts?

Re: FW: NCBM Declares Reachout & Touch" Week for ACA

Looks great. I'm putting a few tweaks to the intro paragraph. The only other thing
I would do is make sure the text size/ font / color is the same. Each section came
up different on my screen. I'd also remove Mayor's name from the bottom, so that
we don't need to have him review it. It can just come from NCBM office.
Thanks all!

Dear NCBM Mayors,

Many of our constituentsare just one diagnosis or accident away from a health crisis that can tear a
family apart. If people are enrolled by December 23 rd they will receive health insurance effective
January 1, 2014. Let?s make a strong push next week to get our uninsured signed up for a health

I appreciate the follow-up, Stephanie, and apologize for the delay in my response.
Stacey and I talked this morning, and we agree on using the time on the Secretary?s
schedule for Thursday, April 4, from 3:30 to 4:30 PM to talk with the Education Task
Force, as well as invited members of the Black Mayors? Coalition of Education Reform.
The focus of the call would be our second term priorities (early learning, K-12
investments, CTE, and college cost and completion).
We might also explore the possibility of having a few members of Black Mayors?
Coalition join early or stay later to briefly discuss the Secretary?s remarks at NCBM, if
we are able to confirm his participation (which is still being considered by Scheduling).
Meanwhile, I am still trying to connect with Kim. She has been very busy! Yesterday,
the White House Champions of Change series (http://www.whitehouse.gov/champions)
honored 10 Americans for their work in promoting educational excellence for AfricanAmericans in their communities, as well as announced David Johns as the first Executive
Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African-Americans
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weWASsIlF_I).
Here are some possible dates/times for a phone call. Let me know if any of them work
on your end. Then, I?ll confirm with Kim.

Hi Adam,
I just wanted to check in on our last exchange.Have you had the opportunity to touch
base with your Stacey on how best to use the time reserved on Secretary Duncan?s
calendar on April 4th between 3:30- 4:30 PM EST? Shannon and I spoke with Mayor
Johnson, and he suggested using the time for the Education Task Force but to also invite
the black mayors that will likely be participating in the Black Mayors? Coalition on
Education Reform. He is also open to your suggestion. We are happy to set up a call to
discuss next steps.
Also, we would still love to connect with Kim Watkins-Foote in the upcoming weeks.
As always, please let us know if we can be helpful to you in anyway.
Many Thanks,

Glad that you got the invitation from NCBM. Thank you for letting us know. In regards

to maintain contact with the Education Task Force. Please let us know, as well, if you

Hi Adam,
I'm glad we are all getting acquainted; thank you again for your responsiveness. I just wanted to
touch base quickly about the time you are holding on Secretary Duncan's schedule on April 4th
from 3:30-4:30pm EST. Is this time slot being held for an Education Task Force call or for a Black
Mayors Coalition call? My understanding when we spoke was that you were going to get back to
me about dates for the Education Task Force call, but I know we also mentioned the idea of having
a black mayors call.
We have not fully discussed with Mayor Johnson whether he would like to have a Black Mayors
Coalition call prior to the convening at NCBM. We can certainly discuss that with him, especially if
your office thinks it would be advantageous to host a preliminary call in order to better orient all
participating mayors for the convening at NCBM. Our office did have staffer-level calls with the
vast majority of those who planned to attend the meeting with Secretary Duncan at USCM this past
January. Moreover, I wanted to clarify with you what you have in mind.
Thank you again! Talk to you soon,

Hi Adam,
Thank you for your quick response. I will make sure you receive the invitation from
NCBM at the email address below. I will also follow-up with NCBM regarding key
topics for the remarks and get back to you.
Regarding the call with the coalition of black mayors, I will confirm whether April 4th at
3:30 will work for Mayor Johnson and the coalition. I will also be the point person for
the coalition moving forward.
We look forward to receiving information from Kim Watkins-Foote.

Thank you for the updates, Shannon and Stephanie. We would welcome a formal
invitation for the Secretary to address the NCBM Annual Meeting send to
[email protected], copying Stacey and me. In general, the Secretary would prefer to
travel on a weekday, so we welcome the recommendation of participating on Friday,
May 31. Also, the Secretary is interesting in having a dialogue with black mayors, so we
welcome the opportunity to provide brief remarks and participate in extended Q&A. Are
there any particular topics that NCBM would like him to address in his remarks?
Shannon, I also wanted to get back to you regarding scheduling a call with Mayor
Johnson?s coalition of black mayors in advance of NCBM. We are currently holding
some time on the Secretary?s schedule for Thursday, April 4, from 3:30 to 4:30 PM.
Please let me know if this date/time would work for Mayor Johnson and at least some of
your core members.
I still owe your team additional information from Kim Watkins-Foote, the Department?s
Liaison to the African-American community. We have not yet had a chance to talk. I
will follow-up as soon as possible.

Hi Stacy and Adam,
As Shannon noted below, I am Mayor Johnson?s point person for matters related to the
National Black Conference of Mayors. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to
you in any way.
Do you have a sense of Secretary Duncan?s preferred format for his participation in the
NCBM annual meeting? Would he prefer to deliver a keynote address with time for
questions, or some other format? NCBM will be sending a formal invitation.
Also, the confirmed dates are now Wed., May 29th ? Sun., Jun 2nd. The conference will
not extend through Jun 3rd as noted below. Again, Fri., May 31st will likely have the
most participants. Please let us know when you are able to confirm which date and time
works best for Secretary Duncan?s schedule.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Hi Stacey and Adam,
As a follow-up to our conversation the other day, I wanted to give you a brief update on
the National Conference of Black Mayors. Our office was able to get in touch with
Vanessa Williams at NCBM, and she says she would be very excited to have Secretary
Duncan attend the conference and that she will modify the conference agenda in order to
accommodate the Secretary?s schedule. The conference will take place May 29 ? June 3
in Atlanta. Vanessa notes that Friday, May 31 will likely be the day with the most
attendees, if that works with Secretary Duncan?s schedule.
In terms of the Mayor?s assuming the NCBM Presidency, Vanessa has confirmed her
support for him and verified that the election will moreover serve as a formality. Mayor
Johnson will be sworn in as President of NCBM at the conference. As an FYI, the
Mayor will be speaking with Vanessa by phone this morning at 9:30am PST/ 12:30pm
EST.

mentioned in our call on Wednesday & is cc?ed here, will be your primary point of

call would be our second term priorities (early learning, K-12 investments, CTE, and
college cost and completion).

Hi Adam,
I just wanted to check in on our last exchange.Have you had the opportunity to touch base
with your Stacey on how best to use the time reserved on Secretary Duncan?s calendar on
April 4th between 3:30- 4:30 PM EST? Shannon and I spoke with Mayor Johnson, and
he suggested using the time for the Education Task Force but to also invite the black
mayors that will likely be participating in the Black Mayors? Coalition on Education
Reform. He is also open to your suggestion. We are happy to set up a call to discuss next
steps.
Also, we would still love to connect with Kim Watkins-Foote in the upcoming weeks. As
always, please let us know if we can be helpful to you in anyway.
Many Thanks,

Thanks for your follow-up, Shannon. My original thought was that the time we are holding
was for a call with the Black Mayors Coalition. However, that was before we had settled
on an invite to NCBM. I?ll discuss this further with Stacey, as we also want to maintain
contact with the Education Task Force. Please let us know, as well, if you have a
preference.


Hi Adam,
touch base quickly about the time you are holding on Secretary Duncan's schedule on April 4th from
3:30-4:30pm EST. Is this time slot being held for an Education Task Force call or for a Black Mayors
Coalition call? My understanding when we spoke was that you were going to get back to me about
dates for the Education Task Force call, but I know we also mentioned the idea of having a black
mayors call.

Re: FW: NCBM/ACA Conference Call
I have a nagging question about the census data Kasia provided at this
link:https://data.cms.gov/dataset/The-Number-of-Estimated-Eligible-Uninsured-People-/pc88ec56?
Consistently the state population estimates that I generate with this data are about 800k-1 million
below other estimates of state populations I find online. Would you be able to ask Kasia to clarify this
discrepancy? Eg. Maryland: population is about 4.9mil based on their doc, 5.9 million based on the
2012 census.
Just want to make sure my numbers are right for the Mayor.

Your data of over 2 million is correct Mariah.
We would definitely encourage individual mayors to look at the data and manipulate according to
their individualized plans for their city. CMS posted the census data at the website below. You can
see that its easy to export and use how they see fit.

Thank you Kasia for sending this along. If I understand this correctly, there are a

Eventually, we will also touch base with a membership list of NCBM cities and
townships and we would love to get a similar cut of the data for those cities and
townships. This would ideally go into the toolkits for the mayors so that the mayors
who sign up to support enrollment could get city-level data.

Subject: Remarks by the President on the Affordable Care Act
Thank you for joining our update call today and for sharing the great work that you are doing in your communities.
Below are the President?s remarks on the Affordable Care Act today. Please feel free to share these with your networks and let us know if there is anything we can do to
support your ongoing enrollment efforts,
THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release December 3, 2013
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

ON THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
South Court Auditorium

Eisenhower Executive Office Building
2:45 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Thanks to Monica, thanks to everybody standing behind me, and thanks for everybody out there who cares deeply about
this issue. Monica?s story is important because for all the day-to-day fights here in Washington around the Affordable Care Act, it?s stories like
hers that should remind us why we took on this reform in the first place.
And for too long, few things left working families more vulnerable to the anxieties and insecurities of today?s economy than a broken
health care system. So we took up the fight because we believe that, in America, nobody should have to worry about going broke just because
somebody in their family or they get sick. We believe that nobody should have to choose between putting food on their kids? table or taking
them to see a doctor. We believe we?re a better country than a country where we allow, every day, 14,000 Americans to lose their health
coverage; or where every year, tens of thousands of Americans died because they didn?t have health care; or where out-of-pocket costs drove
millions of citizens into poverty in the wealthiest nation on Earth. We thought we were better than that, and that?s why we took this on.
And that?s what?s gotten lost a little bit over the last couple of months. And our focus, rightly, had to shift towards working 24/7 to fix
the website, healthcare.gov, for the new marketplaces where people can buy affordable insurance plans. And today, the website is working well
for the vast majority of users. More problems may pop up, as they always do when you?re launching something new. And when they do, we?ll
fix those, too. But what we also know is that after just the first month, despite all the problems in the rollout, about half a million people across
the country are poised to gain health care coverage through marketplaces and Medicaid beginning on January 1st -- some for the very first time.
We know that -- half a million people. And that number is increasing every day and it is going to keep growing and growing and growing,
because we know that there are 41 million people out there without health insurance. And we know there are a whole bunch of folks out there
who are underinsured or don?t have a good deal. And we know the demand is there and we know that the product on these marketplaces is
good and it provides choice and competition for people that allow them, in some cases for the very first time, to have the security that health
insurance can provide.
The bottom line is this law is working and will work into the future. People want the financial stability of health insurance. And we?re
going to keep on working to fix whatever problems come up in any startup, any launch of a project this big that has an impact on one-sixth of
our economy, whatever comes up we?re going to just fix it because we know that the ultimate goal, the ultimate aim, is to make sure that
people have basic security and the foundation for the good health that they need.
Now, we may never satisfy the law?s opponents. I think that?s fair to say. Some of them are rooting for this law to fail -- that?s not my
opinion, by the way, they say it pretty explicitly. Some have already convinced themselves that the law has failed, regardless of the evidence.
But I would advise them to check with the people who are here today and the people that they represent all across the country whose lives have
been changed for the better by the Affordable Care Act.
The other day I got a letter from Julia Walsh in California. Earlier this year, Julia was diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma. ?I have a
lot of things to worry about,? she wrote. ?But thanks to the [Affordable Care Act], there are lots of things I do not have to worry about, like?
whether there will be a lifetime cap on benefits, [or] whether my treatment will bankrupt my family?I can?t begin to tell you how much that
peace of mind means...? That?s what the Affordable Care Act means to Julia. She already had insurance, by the way, but because this law
banned lifetime limits on the care you or your family can receive, she?s never going to have to choose between providing for her kids or getting
herself well -- she can do both.
Sam Weir, a doctor in North Carolina, emailed me the other day. ?The coming years will be challenging for all of us in family medicine,? he
wrote. ?But my colleagues and I draw strength from knowing that beginning with the new year the preventive care many of our current patients
have been putting off will be covered and the patients we have not yet seen will finally be able to get the care that they have long needed.?
That?s the difference that the Affordable Care Act will make for many of Dr. Weir?s patients. Because more than 100 million Americans with
insurance have gained access to recommended preventive care like mammograms, or colonoscopies, or flu shots, or contraception to help them
stay healthy -- at no out-of-pocket cost.
At the young age of 23, Justine Ula is battling cancer for the second time. And the other day, her mom, Joann, emailed me from Cleveland
University Hospital where Justine is undergoing treatment. She told me she stopped by the pharmacy to pick up Justine?s medicine. If Justine
were uninsured, it would have cost her $4,500. But she is insured -- because the Affordable Care Act has let her and three million other young
people like Monica gain coverage by staying on their parents? plan until they?re 26. (Applause.) And that means Justine?s mom, all she had to
cover was the $25 co-pay.
Because of the Affordable Care Act, more than 7 million seniors and Americans with disabilities have saved an average of $1,200 on their
prescription medicine. This year alone, 8.5 million families have actually gotten an average of $100 back from their insurance company -- you
don?t hear that very often -- because it spent too much on things like overhead, and not enough on their care. And, by the way, health care
costs are rising at the slowest rate in 50 years. So we?re actually bending the cost of health care overall, which benefits everybody.
So that?s what this law means to millions of Americans. And my main message today is: We?re not going back. We?re not going to
betray Monica, or Julia, or Sam, or Justine, or Joann. I mean, that seems to be the only alternative that Obamacare?s critics have is, well, let?s
just go back to the status quo -- because they sure haven?t presented an alternative. If you ask many of the opponents of this law what exactly
they?d do differently, their answer seems to be, well, let?s go back to the way things used to be.
Just the other day, the Republican Leader in the Senate was asked what benefits people without health care might see from this law. And
he refused to answer, even though there are dozens in this room and tens of thousands in his own state who are already on track to benefit from
it. He just repeated ?repeal? over and over and over again. And obviously we?ve heard that from a lot of folks on that side of the aisle.
Look, I?ve always said I will work with anybody to implement and improve this law effectively. If you?ve got good ideas, bring them to
me. Let?s go. But we?re not repealing it as long as I?m President and I want everybody to be clear about that.
We will make it work for all Americans. If you don?t like this law -- so, if despite all the millions of people who are benefitting from it, you
still think this law is a bad idea then you?ve got to tell us specifically what you?d do differently to cut costs, cover more people, make insurance
more secure. You can?t just say that the system was working with 41 million people without health insurance. You can?t just say that the system
is working when you?ve got a whole bunch of folks who thought they had decent insurance and then when they got sick, it turned out it wasn?t
there for them or they were left with tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs that were impossible for them to pay.
Right now, what that law is doing -- (baby talks.) Yes, you agree with me. Right now, what this law is doing is helping folks and we?re
just getting started with the exchanges, just getting started with the marketplaces. So we?re not going to walk away from it. If I?ve got to fight
another three years to make sure this law works, then that?s what I?ll do. That?s what we?ll do.
But what?s important for everybody to remember is not only that the law has already helped millions of people but that there are millions
more who stand to be helped. And we?ve got to make sure they know that. And I?ve said very clearly that our poor execution in the first couple
months on the website clouded the fact that there are a whole bunch of people who stand to benefit. Now that the website is working for the
vast majority of people, we need to make sure that folks refocus on what?s at stake here, which is the capacity for you or your families to be able
to have the security of decent health insurance at a reasonable cost through choice and competition on this marketplace and tax credits that you
may be eligible for that can save you hundreds of dollars in premium costs every month, potentially.

So we just need people to -- now that we are getting the technology fixed -- we need you to go back, take a look at what?s actually going
on, because it can make a difference in your lives and the lives of your families. And maybe it won?t make a difference right now if you?re
feeling healthy, but I promise you, if somebody in your family -- heaven forbid -- gets sick, you?ll see the difference. And it will make all the
difference for you and your families.
So I?m going to need some help in spreading the word -- I?m going to need some help in spreading the word. I need you to spread the
word about the law, about its benefits, about its protections, about how folks can sign up. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Do not let the
initial problems with the website discourage you because it?s working better now and it?s just going to keep on working better over time. Every
day I check to make sure that it?s working better. And we?ve learned not to make wild promises about how perfectly smooth it?s going to be at
all time, but if you really want health insurance through the marketplaces, you?re going to be able to get on and find the information that you
need for your families at healthcare.gov.
So if you?ve already got health insurance or you?ve already taken advantage of the Affordable Care Act, you?ve got to tell your friends,
you?ve got to tell your family. Tell your coworkers. Tell your neighbors. Let?s help our fellow Americans get covered. Let?s give every
American a fighting chance in today?s economy.
Thank you so much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America.

I also drafted how we could maybe track our accomplishments -- just bullet

Dear Mr. Kevin Johnson, Major of city of Sacramento:

I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to you to offer my services for
the upcoming World Conference of Black Mayors in Bermuda, 2014.
First of all, I would like congratulate you on your election as President of NCBM
affirmed by the Judge after the restitution of Mrs. Vanessa Williams. I am really
looking forward to perhaps working together soon.
Secondly, I would like to introduce myself. I am the Founder and CEO of Blended
World Group, LLC, a global multicultural consulting marketing firm in Chicago, IL.
(www.blendedworldgroup.com) Amongst my international projects, I was a key
contributor to the 3rd Global Summit of Black Majors last year in Colombia. I
personally made possible the presence and participation of Rev. Jesse Jackson in
Cartagena, Colombia during the Summit; and who was the main keynote speaker

I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to you to offer my services for
the upcoming World Conference of Black Mayors in Bermuda, 2014.
First of all, I would like congratulate you on your election as President of NCBM
affirmed by the Judge after the restitution of Mrs. Vanessa Williams. I am really
looking forward to perhaps working together soon.
Secondly, I would like to introduce myself. I am the Founder and CEO of Blended
World Group, LLC, a global multicultural consulting marketing firm in Chicago, IL.
(www.blendedworldgroup.com) Amongst my international projects, I was a key
contributor to the 3rd Global Summit of Black Majors last year in Colombia. I
personally made possible the presence and participation of Rev. Jesse Jackson in
Cartagena, Colombia during the Summit; and who was the main keynote speaker
at the closing ceremony. Through me, Rev Jackson was also able to participate/aid
in the rescue of the US Marine kidnaped by the Colombian guerrilla: (FARC).

Here is a quote for the Mayor:
"The National Conference of Black Mayor's Convention was an incredibleopportunity

to join some of the most talented Mayors from across the country and abroad to
celebrate the great work of the organization and renew our commitment to the
communities we serve and each other. I left inspired by the Convention and the
promise of this organization,and humbled by the opportunity to serve as First Vice
President."
Mariah and Aisha, I'd appreciate any thoughts on this, if you have any. Not sure if
this accurately reflects the Mayor's voice, more of a PC statement. This was not
easy given our actual experience at the Convention. :)

Great, I?ll work on getting a call in number. If you can wait on his

mid-morning, east coast, tomorrow. In case you want to include the
call-in number in the save the date.
And happy to touch base next week about the call. I will actually be
out of the office on vacation the 13-16, so talking Monday the 12 th
would be best.

Thanks for the tool kit. I will review it when I return to the office. In
response to your points raised below:
1. Cover Letter- We have drafted a cover letter from the Mayor and will
send you a copy for your input. We are also going through the internal
review as well.
2. We have also drafted an email for Mayor Johnson to send out today
or tomorrow announcing the meeting and inviting all to hold the date
and plan to participate. This will be the initial invitation from the Mayor
and then we will follow up with more details, call-in information and
the toolkit.
3. Yes, the Mayor will send the actual invitation.
4. Conference call- We would appreciate your assistance with the
conference call line.
5. Estimate- I will try to get a more accurate estimate of participants
later. For now I we estimate on the low end 20-30 mayors.
6. I think it would be good to touch base early next week to go over
Agenda and the overall plan.
Thanks for your assistance.

We?re happy to announce that we have a finalized version
of the toolkit! Thanks to you and the Mayor for your
feedback and patience. I know you were working on a
cover letter from the Mayor to accompany the toolkit, have
you had a chance to draft something? We are also happy
to offer any help in rolling out the toolkit to UCBM
members. Please let us know what else you need from us.

Also, in terms of a conference call line, if you don?t have
something, we can help provide one. We want to confirm
through that the Mayor will send out the actual invite,
correct? Also, we?ll just need to discuss the expected
number of participants and stay in touch regarding RSVPs so
we can ensure there are the appropriate number of lines.
Best,

Given the fact that things do not run on time in this conference, 1:30 was
probably too ambitious anyway...
On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 3:07 PM, Meera Krishnan

Some changes:
-Minimal changes to the first 2 days. No changes to BOD meeting or the
Annual Business Meeting
-There are a bunch of changes to content and speakers of the Friday session this will impact the briefings and scripts we created
-President's Luncheon: Note that MKJ is expected to honor George Curry with
the Unsung Hero's Award, and sign an MOU with the National Basketball
Retired Players Association (Arnie D. Fielkow) - who is creating this briefing?
-For some reason the Education Session now starts at 2pm and the President's
Luncheon ends at 1:45. I guess we'll have to change this back to 1:30?

Aisha I think our emails got crossed - I recommend we keep it at 2:00pm provided
that it's not a problem for Duncan or Johns (it's not for Lomax).
The luncheon probably cannot end early due to food service and people needing to
eat.
Shannon is now copied as she's been corresponding with Duncan and Johns' people.
Shannon is there anything we should be aware of regarding this new time from your
end? Have you been able to connect with either of the offices regarding the time
change?

Thanks Meera - apparently the change was not communicated to folks, so we have
to inform Duncan, Lomax, and Johns' people that the session now begins at 2:00pm.
I will make sure that happens.
Given the fact that things do not run on time in this conference, 1:30 was probably
too ambitious anyway...

We'll have to roll with it. As Mariah said, nothing will be on time.

confirm). Thanks.

Some changes:
-There are a bunch of changes to content and speakers of the Friday

Basketball Retired Players Association (Arnie D. Fielkow) - who is
creating this briefing?
President's Luncheon ends at 1:45. I guess we'll have to change this
back to 1:30?
-Our friend Dr. Gerald Durley is listed as the Worship Leader in the
Mayor's Prayer Breakfast
Thanks Stephanie.

FYI revised agenda. I'm boarding the plane so I will be

I?m glad to hear this. It?s a full page article ranging between 700 to 725 words. The
deadline for the article is Monday, October 22nd . Also, E.D. Williams informed us of Mayor
Johnson?s Education forum last week. If a press release was issued, would you mind
forwarding that to me, as well as any images from the event of Mayor Johnson speaking
and the NCBM Mayors that attended. Thanks for your help and congrats on the promotion!

I hope this email finds you all well as autumn continues

October Newsletter layout, which is centered around
Voting. I am reaching out to see if Mayor Johnson as
Chair of the Education Committee would be interested in
writing an article around highlighting the issues most
prevalent in education and the next steps the
administration should take within the next four years. If
so, I will forward the specs (i.e. word count and deadline)
for the article. If you have any questions or comments,

We can try again. The problem is they apparently have so many lists. I did not get anything regarding
the call at 5:30 pm after the Mayor could not join them on a press call. Yet we were in touch with the

Hi!
Yes, I can only imagine!!
Later this week sounds good. I didn?t see Elizabeth on the email, but if she can follow
up with me, let?s find a few minute to chat late this week, and then we can set up a
day/time for me to come to Sacramento to provide a quick demonstration of

Hi Mariah,
SO funny to run into another SHS person outside of Chicago, and at the
NCBM Conference in Atlanta no less!
I looked for you later that afternoon ? I wish we had exchanged numbers
so that we could have tried to meet up. I still want to hear about how you
ended up in California ? there aren?t many of us out here! Dana Ward
from my year, Ashley Stearns from the year ahead of me, and Josh
Entman from your year are the only SHS people I see in LA. Is there
anyone out in Sacramento?
I know you mentioned that the CEO of TweetMyJobs, Robin D. Richards,

chatted briefly with Mayor Johnson. I?d love to fill you in, too, on how
we?re working with cities. Let me know if you have a few minutes to
jump on the phone tomorrow or Wednesday, and I?d love to give you the
overview of how we?re working with innovative leaders across the
country to help put their constituents back to work.

i'd certainly be interested in speaking with a potential candidate of your caliber for the stand up
executive director position, and would appreciate any referrals. to answer your question, stand up is
based in sacramento, and we are offering a competitive salary and benefits package. i've attached the
job description for your reference.
to give you a little background, i have no direct oversight or jurisdiction over local school districts in
sacramento's current governance structure. however, i firmly believe that you cannot have a great city
without great schools. stand up is the vehicle through which i can ensure that every child has the
opportunity to attend an excellent public school in sacramento.
at the local level, the stand up team is launching my citywide third grade reading campaign, working on
bringing city year and teach for america sites to sacramento, establishing a city-schools collaborative
with local school superintendents and districts, and mobilizing the community around important policy
issues such as parent trigger. at the national level, stand up supports my efforts to advocate for muchneeded legislation around policies such as Race to the Top, ESEA, and LIFO ("last in, first out") as chair
of secretary duncan's mayors advisory council, the us conference of mayors task force on public
education, and the national conference of black mayors.
stand up's efforts are supported by some of the nation's top philanthropists and granting organizations,
including eli broad, the kellogg foundation, at&t, bank of america, wells fargo and others, and we are
actively pursuing other funders to expand our efforts.
i hope this is helpful. please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to send any promising
candidates my way.

If you have time, let's chat. I'd like to better understand what/who
you're looking for but definitely know a couple of people who would be
excellent.

Good morning Board Members,

As you are aware, as of June 5, 2013 I was no longer with the National
Conference of Black Mayors. I have enjoyed working with the organization and
I sincerely appreciate having the chance to work with you. Thank you for the
support and continuing the legacy of the organization. Your leadership has
taught and allowed me to grow during my time at NCBM. It has been an
honor working with you for the past 5 years. I know there is a lot going on
with the organization right now but I know under your leadership the
organization will be restored.
I now have my own consulting firm in which I am doing strategic planning and
event management for both domestic and international elected officials,
business leaders, foundations, and nonprofit organizations in need of my
expertise.J I would like and appreciate our continued relationship as I start
this next phase of my career. I have several clients that may want to partner
so this will not be the last time you hear from meJ.
Please note, that this decision is based on my growth and my time to move
on to what God has in store for me. My past career history and NCBM has
been a great stepping stone for the road ahead.
Please keep in touch. I may be reached at my new email address
[email protected] via my cell phone at 404-834-7722.
Thank you and I look forward to our continued relationship!

Sorry that was unclear. These are calls being made on city landlines. I have made
calls from the Phoenix Room, Mayor's conference room and Nicole's line. The calls
do go through.
We want to be sure we aren't violating any rules or causing any budget problems.
Thanks.

along with Blenda Deberry,Deberry and Associates, Larry Veal, film
maker, Rule 12, and his organization, Be More Positive, and his
lawyer, Larry Shackleford from Troutman and Sanders Law Firm...They
are doing a film about the impact that the schools are having on the
lives of our youth and the outcome being one of driving them to dropout
out of school, greater violence and a life of crime...I would like Mayor
Johnson to look at this project while he is here as well...
The other project that we talked about before is being driven by Susan
Taylor, formerly of Essence Magazine...She started National Cares,
which is a national mentoring program for underserved youth in about
58 cities...Her new program is ' A New Way Forward, Healing What's

Hurting Black America'. Susanalong with about 60 other national,
academic, faith-based, media, and community leaders have come
together to provide an evidence based program that addresses the
unspoken pain in our families that must be dealt with first for healing to
occur...
I would like Mayor Johnson to review both of these projects and

evaluate for possible impact...I think both of thesenetworks could give
us national impact on the education issue...Also, itwould begreat in
that we can engage these programs toaddress and advance the
agenda of the educational challengesfrom MayorJohnson's

Kevin:
Please see the attached letter from the Special Needs Network in Los
Angeles inviting you to participate in our Legislative Breakfast on April 11,
2014.
Aside from our firm?s ECE Works Workforce Development Project, First
Five LA and the Los Angeles County Office of Education are cosponsoring the event with the Special Needs Network. A hard copy was
hand-delivered to your office this morning.
Legislative Black Caucus Chair Holly Mitchell is confirmed and we
expect to have Senate President pro Tempore-Elect Kevin De Leon,
Second District County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, and State
Superintendent Tom Torlakson there, among others.
We have spent a good deal of time sharing with those in LA your
philosophy that by the second grade, if children are not reading at grade
level that they?re in danger. We?ve also been vigorous in expressing the
vital importance of Indivizible of communicating that message widely in
Sacramento.
We really hope you can put this on your calendar for the morning of April
11th. It would mean a lot to us.
Best regards,

I did some research on this vendor, National Conference of Black Mayors. In the past it shows they
paid $1,500. Which matches the municipality population sliding scale on the invoice. Is it safe to
select this amount for this invoice?

Hey Kevin,
So ?congratulations? on your victory at NCBM. I put it in
quotes as it relates to your personal victory because, while
your tenure as President there might be short, it is quite the
victory for the organization to get out from under the cloud of
corruption and confusion for it and its supporters.
Meanwhile, our friend JC Watts is doing some good things. His
efforts over the past several years to start the Black Television
News Channel (BTNC) are coming together. Capital has been
raised, a station HQ has been established with Florida A&M to
set up on their campus and develop a curriculum around the
station, and agreement has been reached with Dish Network
to carry the station, and efforts for carriage on other stations
continue. Its going to be a good thing to support HCBUs and
provide a news station with an emphasis on our community.
Its pretty cool.

A coalition is being organized to support the station and a
strategy is being developed around the announced merger of
Comcast and Time Warner to push for support for the station
at the Department of Justice and the FCC, given that there is
not one Black national news station in the country. In one of
our calls last week. JC raised the question of whether it makes
sense to approach you about support from NCBM (and if there
is even enough time for you to help, given your short tenure
as President). I suspect that you don?t need to be the head
of an organization if you want to move it in a certain
direction?.
JC and I will regroup in the next couple of weeks after his
next round of meetings at the FCC on strategy going forward.
Would it be ok with you if I contact your office to arrange a
conference call to solicit your guidance regarding NCBM and,
if it is appropriate, discuss your possible support?
Thanks

reactions on social media.
You and your constituents are also invited to join the White House for it?s first-ever

Mayor Johnson, the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of

Mississippi Foundation has a Healthy Hometown
Program established to encourage and reward
exemplary community health and wellness. The
Foundation exists to improve the health of

Mississippians, and this program is designed to
help municipal leaders in their efforts to make
communities, and the people who live in them,
healthier.
With your proven record of success in municipal
health and wellness, we request that you
consider serving as one of our Healthy
Hometown Program judges for 2013. Each year,
we obtain a panel of prestigious out-of-state
judges with health and wellness expertise. The
Healthy Hometown applications would be sent to
you electronically, each with an electronic scoring
sheet.
The municipality with the highest number of
points will be designated as the ?Healthiest
Hometown in Mississippi? and receive a $50,000
grant to further their health and wellness
efforts. A town of any size may receive this
designation.
A municipality from each of these three
categories will receive a designation as a ?
Healthy Hometown,? along with a $25,000 grant
from the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi
Foundation:
Large Town: 15,000 or more
residents
Medium Town: 5,001 ?
14,999 residents
Small Town: Fewer than 5,000
residents
Winning hometowns will be announced at the
Mississippi Municipal League Annual Conference,
scheduled for July 15 ? July 17, 2013, in Biloxi,
Mississippi. At this conference, we will also
announce the names of the Healthy Hometown
judges, followed by publication of the judges?
names and brief bios on our website.
http://www.healthiermississippi.org/ to find
additional information about the Healthy
Hometown Program.
We hope that you are available to serve as one
of our three judges for the Healthy Hometown
Program in 2013. We would appreciate receiving
your response by March 31, 2013.

Passing along to build good will with the executive director (to help with election). I

KevinSo good to see you in San Francisco yesterday. Its always inspiring to get that
many people together who truly care about education.
As I mentioned we'd like to invite you to be the keynote speaker on November
17, 2012 at the MIND Awards Gala. The Gala is at Disney's Grand California
Hotel & Spa in Anaheim, CA.
The event will be honoring schools and teachers across the country. MIND
Research Institute, a non-profit, has developed a visual approach to math that has
seen tremendous success in a range of national locations. Results, as indicated by
the summary and graph attached are very good with only two computer lab
sessions each week. ST Math works particularly for students with reading
difficulties or limited English or for visual learners (ie, most kids). For more
information on past events and MIND visit their site.
Please let me know if I can follow up with any other details. Happy to discuss
logistics and honorarium with your staff.
Best,
Caroline

start the race of life already behind.
> President Barack Obama
> State of the Union, February 12, 2013
>
> The beginning years of a childs life are critical for building the early foundation needed for success
later in school and in life. Leading economists agree that high-quality early learning programs can help
level the playing field for children from lower-income families on vocabulary, social and emotional
development, while helping students to stay on track and stay engaged in the early elementary grades.
Children who attend these programs are more likely to do well in school, find good jobs, and succeed in
their careers than those who dont. And research has shown that taxpayers receive a high average
return on investments in high-quality early childhood education, with savings in areas like improved
educational outcomes, increased labor productivity, and a reduction in crime.
>
> In his State of the Union address, President Obama called on Congress to expand access to highquality preschool to every child in America. As part of that effort, the President will propose a series of
new investments that will establish a continuum of high-quality early learning for a child beginning at
birth and continuing to age 5. By doing so, the President would invest critical resources where we know
the return on our dollar is the highest: in our youngest children.

>
> Providing High-Quality Preschool for Every Child: The President is proposing a new federal-state
partnership to provide all low- and moderate-income four-year old children with high-quality preschool,
while also expanding these programs to reach additional children from middle class families and
incentivizing full-day kindergarten policies. This investment financed through a cost-sharing model
with states will help close Americas school readiness gap and ensure that children have the chance to
enter kindergarten ready for success.
>
> Growing the Supply of Effective Early Learning Opportunities for Young Children: To expand highquality early learning opportunities in the years before preschool, the President will call for a significant
investment in a new Early Head Start-Child Care partnership. Competitive grants will support
communities that expand the availability of Early Head Start and child care providers that can meet the
highest standards of quality for infants and toddlers, serving children from birth through age 3.
>
> Extending and Expanding Evidence-Based, Voluntary Home Visiting: Voluntary home visiting
programs enable nurses, social workers, and other professionals to connect families to services and
educational support that will improve a childs health, development, and ability to learn. President
Obama has already committed $1.5 billion to expand home visitation to hundreds of thousands of
Americas most vulnerable children and families across all 50 states. The President will pursue
substantial investments to expand these important programs to reach additional families in need.
>
> The Presidents Commitment to Early Education
>
> A zip code should never predetermine the quality of any childs educational opportunities. Yet studies
show that children from low-income families are less likely to have access to high-quality early
education, and less likely to enter school prepared for success. By third grade, children from low-income
families who are not reading at grade level are six times less likely to graduate from high school than
students who are proficient. Often, the high costs of private preschool and lack of public programs also
narrow options for middle-class families.
>
> High-quality early childhood education provides the foundation for all childrens success in school and
helps to reduce achievement gaps. Despite the individual and economic benefits of early education, our
nation has lagged in its commitment to ensuring the provision of high quality public preschool in our
childrens earliest years. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) estimates
that the United States ranks 28th out of 38 countries for the share of four-year olds enrolled in early
childhood education. And fewer than 3 in 10 four-year olds are enrolled in high-quality programs.
>
> Preschool for All
>
> The Presidents proposal will improve quality and expand access to preschool, through a cost
sharing partnership with all 50 states, to extend federal funds to expand high-quality public preschool to
reach all low- and moderate-income four-year olds from families at or below 200% of poverty. The U.S.
Department of Education will allocate dollars to states based their share of four-year olds from low- and
moderate-income families and funds would be distributed to local school districts and other partner
providers to implement the program. The proposal would include an incentive for states to broaden
participation in their public preschool program for additional middle-class families, which states may
choose to reach and serve in a variety of ways, such as a sliding-scale arrangement.
>
> Funds will support states as they ensure that children are enrolled in high-quality programs. In
order to access federal funding, states would be required to meet quality benchmarks that are linked to
better outcomes for children, which include:
>
> o State-level standards for early learning;
> o Qualified teachers for all preschool classrooms; and
> o A plan to implement comprehensive data and assessment systems.
>
> Preschool programs across the states would meet common and consistent standards for quality across
all programs, including:
> o Well-trained teachers, who are paid comparably to K-12 staff;
> o Small class sizes and low adult to child ratios;

> o A rigorous curriculum;
> o Comprehensive health and related services; and
> o Effective evaluation and review of programs.
>
> The proposal also encourages states to expand the availability of full-day kindergarten. Only 6 out
of 10 of Americas kindergarten students have access to a full day of learning. In order to ensure that
our kindergartners spend the time they need in school to reach rigorous benchmarks and standards,
funds under this program may also be used to expand full-day kindergarten once states have provided
preschool education to low- and moderate-income four year-olds.
>
> Under the Presidents proposal, investment in the federal Head Start program will continue to grow.
The Presidents plan will maintain and build on current Head Start investments, to support a greater
share of infants, toddlers, and three-year olds in Americas Head Start centers, while state preschool
settings will serve a greater share of four-year olds.
>
> Quality Early Learning for Our Youngest Children
>
> The President will also launch a new Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership program, to support
states and communities that expand the availability of Early Head Start and child care providers that can
meet the highest standards of quality for infants and toddlers, serving children from birth through age
3. Funds will be awarded through Early Head Start on a competitive basis to enhance and support early
learning settings; provide new, full-day, comprehensive services that meet the needs of working
families; and prepare children for the transition into preschool. This strategy combined with an
expansion of publicly funded preschool education for four-year olds will ensure a cohesive and wellaligned system of early learning for children from birth to age five.
>
> The President is proposing to expand the Administrations evidence-based home visiting initiative,
through which states are implementing voluntary programs that provide nurses, social workers, and
other professionals to meet with at-risk families in their homes and connect them to assistance that
impacts a childs health, development, and ability to learn. These programs have been critical in
improving maternal and child health outcomes in the early years, leaving long-lasting, positive impacts
on parenting skills; childrens cognitive, language, and social-emotional development; and school
readiness. This will help ensure that our most vulnerable Americans are on track from birth, and that
later educational investments rest upon a strong foundation.
>
> Building on Success
>
> President Obama has committed to a comprehensive early learning agenda for Americas children that
begins at birth and provides the support and services needed to set them on a path of success in
school and in life:
>
> Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge: The Early Learning Challenge has rewarded 14 states
that have agreed to raise the bar on the quality of their early childhood education programs, establish
higher standards across programs and provide critical links with health, nutrition, mental health, and
family support for our neediest children.
>
> Head Start and Early Head Start: President Obama has made historic investments in the Head Start
and Early Head Start programs to reach an additional 61,000 children. Under the Presidents leadership,
enrollment in Early Head Start in particular has nearly doubled. The Obama Administration has also
implemented needed reform in the Head Start program by identifying lower-performing grantees and
ensuring that those failing to meet new, rigorous benchmarks face new competition for continued
federal funding.

Hello Dionna
My apologies for the delayed response. Mayor Johnson and Michelle are often on the
east coast and would very much like to meet in person. If there is a date that works
better on your end, we may be able to coordinate a trip around that time.

Subject: Mayor Johnson and Michelle Rhee meeting request
Hello Dionna
Mayor Kevin Johnson (City of Sacramento) and Michelle Rhee (StudentsFirst CEO) are
hoping to meet with Mr. Lomax in the very near future. Both are acquaintances of Mr.
Lomax. The topics for discussion will be the Mayor's national mobilization efforts
through his education non-profit, STAND UP (a 501 c3 organization), and specifically,
his mobilization of African American civil rights leaders from around the country to
support a progressive education reform policy agenda. STAND UP is convening civil
rights leaders from around the country this October and would love to see if Mr.
Lomax would like to be part of that Summit.
As the Summit is quickly approaching, we would like to get this meeting scheduling as
soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Adrianne Hall

It must be affiliated w/ John Hope Bryant so MKJ might reach out to him for info.

Hello Shantel ?
Thank you for the emailing the electronic invite as we never received the mailed hard
copy you referenced.
Given the event is taking place today, Mayor Johnson is obviously unable to attend. I?
m hoping that it is possible to receive such invites with more advanced notice given the
Mayor?s calendar tends to fill up quickly. We are working at least 30-60 days out. 4
days simply isn?t enough notice to prepare him for an event in another city.

Hi Juliet,
I assume you're still writing the article about ACA. Here is the
statement from Mayor Johnson that we discussed.
?We all know the harsh reality that there are

over 35 million Americans who are uninsured ?
just one diagnosis or accident away from a
health crisis that can tear a family apart.As
President of the National Conference of Black
Mayors, anorganization of 600 mayors
representing 48 million people,I?m proud that
we will be working directly with the White
House to lead efforts to educate, engage and
ultimately enroll our nation's uninsured .
Because of a shared belief that access to health

Hi Juliet,
I assume you're still writing the article about ACA. Here is the statement from Mayor
Johnson that we discussed.
?We all know the harsh reality that there are over 35 million
Americans who are uninsured ? just one diagnosis or accident away
from a health crisis that can tear a family apart.As President of the
National Conference of Black Mayors, anorganization of 600 mayors
representing 48 million people,I?m proud that we will be working
directly with the White House to lead efforts to educate, engage and
ultimately enroll our nation's uninsured . Because of a shared belief
that access to health care is a basic human right for every American,
we have launched the Affordable Care Act Outreach Initiative. We
can serve as a unified voice for the African American community ?
leading in getting the word out because we know what?s important

"The National Conference of Black Mayor's Convention was an incredible opportunity to join some of the
most talented Mayors from across the country and abroad to celebrate the great work of the

Re: Mayors Challenge to End Homelessness
Friday, May 30, 2014 12:08:58 AM
Daniel,
SSF is still working with the City on the details of the $500,000 of the $1 M. Right
now it is focused on the highest users of hospitals which could be some veterans but
not necessarily so. There are other resources that are specifically designed for the
homeless veterans.
Specifically the challenge is like every other challenge that comes from the White
House. You sign on, fold it into your existing programs and those that measure
success rise to the top and become the poster children and the rest of the cities just
keep working on it. I did inquire about specific actions and couldn't find anything
that was overbearing.
We have a number of organizations that specifically work on veteran homeless
programs including SSF, SHRA, VOA and others. SSF work on homeless initiatives
every single day. In addition the City is hiring a person to deal with Homeless issues.
I'm not sure what they will be doing but the emphasis of much funding will be
towards veterans.
For me, I suggest that we spend a few minutes getting all those you need to be
involved in the discussion either on a call or in a meeting.
This is a City issue that is not the arena, not business or developer driven and
focuses on an initiative that the Mayor has been a champion for the past 5 years.
This is what we do.
To be perfectly honest, I fill we a slighting the City business with all the other USCM,
NCBM, AAMA, Indivizible, NBA issues. While I love them all, I think it is my job to
bring forward initiatives and opportunities to further the Mayor's efforts to improve
the fabric of our City,
Again, what would be helpful is to have a frequent meeting of those that are
involved in the City day to day issues like you do with the Policy team so we can
better make these decisions. I don't recall being engaged or informed about any
decisions outside of City business and have minimum to do with the work that is
being done. There is certainly a process void that we can address.
As I discussed with you earlier, I will be calendaring a regularly meeting for us to
discuss the City issues with the goals to 1. Better communicate on key City issues; 2.
Develop City priorities for our office; and 3. Develop and implement a process for
consideration of City Initiatives and activities.
The White House and USICH are trying to finalize their list for the event on June 4th.
The website includes dozens of cities that have signed on. I'm okay with
recommending to the Mayor if he wants to do it.
I would like to discuss with you in the morning and get to the Mayor tomorrow. I
have an 8 and 9 am meetings and then the 1:30 PM with the churches. After that, I
will be focused on The Big day next week.

Does 10:30 or 11 AM or so work for you to discuss further?
Thanks.

I'm not equipped to provide a recommendation
because I have limited context into this issue. I like
the sound of this, but it does seem like an awfully
public stance to take on an issue that is not a core
priority right now. It's also another project for your
already full plate. Happy to hear what others have
to say.

Hi,
See below the summary of the ACA call with the White House. Yes,
the president joined in. I am working locally to see what we can do.
Although I know some of the NCBM mayors were on the call it would
be nice to send the recap from the White House to NCBM and
encourage the Mayors to do a Day of Action on March 8 and make a
hard press through March 31.
Can you send it out. Would you need be to draft a couple of lead in

Hi,
See below the summary of the ACA call with the White House. Yes, the president
joined in. I am working locally to see what we can do. Although I know some of
the NCBM mayors were on the call it would be nice to send the recap from the
White House to NCBM and encourage the Mayors to do a Day of Action on March
8 and make a hard press through March 31.
Can you send it out. Would you need be to draft a couple of lead in sentences or
will you? Thanks.

Hi Adrianne,
I wanted to also throw this out to you as a great option for the Mayor if he is available. Tweet My Jobs is

ALL,
We are very excited about the NCBM event this week In Atlanta, GA! (See attached AD that will be in the
NCBM Convention guide)!
Especially around our session: Mayors, Social Media & Jobs:
Mayors, Social Media and #JOBS
Social media is not the way of the future, it is the way of now. According to an August, 2011 Pew Internet
Research Report, over 65% of online adults use social networking sites. As Mayors across the country are
discovering, the 21st century is one of the greatest periods in the history of the world in which to govern
because of ground-breaking technology and communications tools. Through social media tools like
Facebook and Twitter, Mayors can communicate with constituents and key audiences instantly and
frequently. Innovative leaders are realizing that social media?s impact extends beyond just communication
and that social media can be used to address major social problems, including one of the biggest problems
facing every Mayor today: #JOBS.
Despite the reports we hear in the media about the unemployment rate dropping or staying constant, we
know that there are jobs in our cities. Local employers are hiring every day. New businesses are opening
and existing businesses are expanding. The key is to connect these job opportunities with constituent job
seekers. Key city leaders from two major American cities will discuss how they are embracing social media
to connect their constituent job seekers with small, medium and large businesses.
Do you wish you had a technology platform to power your jobs creation initiatives and campaigns? Do you
wish you had better data to understand exactly what the jobs situation is in your city, the number of job
seekers and number of opportunities, and details about exactly what and where those opportunities are?
Are you interested in strengthening your city?s image nationally and internationally to attract new citizens
and businesses to move to the area? Are you looking to promote local and regional businesses? Join this
session and hear from two of America?s great cities as to how technology, and specifically social media, is
helping to address these issues so they can put Americans in their city back to work!
The current Agenda can be located on at the NCBM Website:
http://www.ncbm.org
SPONSOR: TWEETMYJOBS
BRENDAN M. COTTER, SVP, Market Development
Mr. Cotter is responsible for the development and strategic direction of the TweetMyJobs Government
Platform for jobs. By harnessing the power of the Internet, social network and mobile into a branded and
dedicated jobs platform, government can promote and enable connectivity between local businesses that
have employment opportunities for their constituents. Through this innovative new technology, elected
and community leaders can create a hub where job seekers and businesses can come together so that
open positions are filled with top local talent thus enhancing the economic well being of the communities.
Previously, Mr. Cotter was the senior vice president of market development at Blackboard Inc.
(NASDAQ:BBBB). He focused on the initiatives for the next generation of notification and alerts technology,
with an emphasis on proximity and CMAS (cell broadcasting alerts). Prior, as president of Blackboard
Connect for Government, he led Blackboard Connect (formerly The NTI Group) to be the number one
provider of hosted, time-sensitive mass notification services focused on assisting K12 leaders, government
and civil leaders to communicate quickly and efficiently with their constituents using multi-modal
technologies.
Mr. Cotter has an extensive background in developing and managing new business expansion, client
management, sales, and market strategy. Previous to joining the NTI team, Mr. Cotter was a founder and
chief executive officer of the F2F Group, Inc., a leading business and technology process consultancy firm.
FORMAT:
MODERATOR:
MAYOR STEVE BENJAMIN, Columbia, South Carolina
In a record turnout, Steve Benjamin was elected Mayor of Columbia in April of 2010.
He has worked very actively in community initiatives with numerous public and private organizations
dating back to his years at the University of South Carolina where he served as President of the Student
Government and as Student Bar Association President at the USC School of Law.
Mayor Benjamin has continued that service through the present, serving on numerous boards for
nonprofit organizations such as the Columbia Urban League, Benedict College, the Greater Columbia
Chamber of Commerce and as a Founding Board Member of the Eau Claire Promise Zone. He also served
as a founding member of Choose Children First.
In 1999, at age 29 Benjamin was appointed to Governor Jim Hodges' Cabinet as director of the state's
second largest law enforcement agency, the Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services.
In 2009, Benjamin drew national attention by representing prominent radio host Tom Joyner and securing
a pardon for Joyner's great uncles wrongfully convicted in the death of a 73-year-old Confederate veteran
and executed in 1913. In a landmark decision, the South Carolina Board of Paroles and Pardons voted
unanimously to grant the posthumous pardon, the first for South Carolina in a capital case.
Having taken office in July 2010, Mayor Benjamin's first term has been characterized by his firm belief in
Columbia's potential and the intense focus on economic development and job creation that has helped
secure more than $1.1 billion in regional capital investment and create thousands new jobs in the midst of
a national recession. Combined with the rebirth of Main Street, these accomplishments have drawn
national attention and accolades including his being awarded an Aspen Rodel Fellowship, elected to the
U.S. Conference of Mayors Advisory Board and, most recently, being named one of The Washington Post's
"2011 The Root 100 List: The 100 most influential African Americans in 2011."
In addition to his work as Mayor, Benjamin practices law with Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart.
He is married to the Honorable DeAndrea Gist Benjamin, a circuit court judge in South Carolina's Fifth
Judicial Circuit. The two are the proud parents of two daughters Bethany (7) and Jordan Grace (4).

PROPOSED QUESTIONS FOR MAYOR BENJAMIN (PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THIS), AND PANELISTS,
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EXPAND ON HOW THESE QUESTIONS IMPACT YOU AS LEADERS, AND HOW THEY
IMPACT THE CITIES YOU REPRESENT!
1. Let's talk about job creation first. This is the number one priority for every Mayor across the country.
Within your Cities, can you please outline the job creation initiatives that have been put in place and share
how you've been able to make them successful.
2. There are millions of open jobs across the United States but unemployment remains high. What role
can our Cites / Mayors play to connect job seekers with employers?
3. It's no secret that unemployment rates for veterans are very high but there are other groups that are
particularly hurting like youth and recent graduates. How can Cities support federal programs like Joining
Forces and Summer Jobs Plus or are local programs more important?
4. According to NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) 7 out of every 10 internships turn
into full time jobs suggesting that internships are the "new interview." How are you encouraging your
small businesses to hire interns?
5. According to Jobvite, 36% of job seekers have trouble finding positions that match their skills. How do
Cities track this problem and make sure that the right jobs are available for their citizens?
6. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, you are 20 times more likely to find a job if you
have are introduced to a hiring employer. What can Mayors / Cities do to help job seekers maximize a
positive outcome in their job search?
7. In recent years there have been 2 huge technology advances beyond the Internet - first social media
and now mobile. I want to talk about social media first. More than 1 billion people use Facebook and
Twitter, sharing information with their friends. Do you believe that social networking can help job seekers
find jobs and, if so, how can government play a role?
8. Americans are increasingly becoming mobile (over 90% are subscribers according to the CTIA ? the
association for the wireless industry). Do you believe that "Mobile" technology has a role to play
connecting small business with job seekers in your cities and how are you facilitating it?
9. We've talked a lot about job seekers so let's talk about employers now. The vast majority of jobs in the
United States emanate from small businesses. How can Mayors / Cities support a small business in an
increasingly "Mobile" & "Social" world?
10. Governing in today's world is becoming more and more challenging but how can we as leaders
promote a community based technology solution to create better matches for all of our constituents and
business alike?
LET'S PLAN TO MEET AS A GROUP IN THE SESSION ROOM BY 1 PM ON FRIDAY JUNE 1, 2012.

Hi Alisha,
No need for apologies, I completely understand. I just want to give you the context for why
I've been unable to lock down a time. Mayor Johnson is the First VP of this organization and
as such he is part of the sessions and also has separate meetings such as the board of
directors and others that he has to take. So his schedule is back-to-back for the most part.
Also, because the conference is running a little behind schedule I can't be certain when he
will even have time in between sessions. That's why I am unable to confirm. I would like to
communicate this to Robin so he understands the full situation because I feel badly that
we've been unable to secure a meeting time. Should I email him directly or would one of you
rather do it? Just let me know.

Hi Mariah and Alisha:

Not knowing the lay out, how about we tell them to meet at the entrance to the
President's Luncheon once it concludes tomorrow at 1:00pm. Alan Williams,
who works with us, ran into Mayor Johnson yesterday. He said he will introduce
them.

ALL,
We are very excited about the NCBM event this week In Atlanta, GA! (See
attached AD that will be in the NCBM Convention guide)!

Social media is not the way of the future, it is the way of now. According to an
August, 2011 Pew Internet Research Report, over 65% of online adults use
social networking sites. As Mayors across the country are discovering, the 21st
century is one of the greatest periods in the history of the world in which to
govern because of ground-breaking technology and communications tools.
Through social media tools like Facebook and Twitter, Mayors can
communicate with constituents and key audiences instantly and frequently.
Innovative leaders are realizing that social media?s impact extends beyond
just communication and that social media can be used to address major social
problems, including one of the biggest problems facing every Mayor today:
#JOBS.
Despite the reports we hear in the media about the unemployment rate
dropping or staying constant, we know that there are jobs in our cities. Local
employers are hiring every day. New businesses are opening and existing
businesses are expanding. The key is to connect these job opportunities with
constituent job seekers. Key city leaders from two major American cities will
discuss how they are embracing social media to connect their constituent job
seekers with small, medium and large businesses.
Do you wish you had a technology platform to power your jobs creation
initiatives and campaigns? Do you wish you had better data to understand
exactly what the jobs situation is in your city, the number of job seekers and
number of opportunities, and details about exactly what and where those
opportunities are? Are you interested in strengthening your city?s image
nationally and internationally to attract new citizens and businesses to move to
the area? Are you looking to promote local and regional businesses? Join this
session and hear from two of America?s great cities as to how technology, and
specifically social media, is helping to address these issues so they can put
Americans in their city back to work!

voted unanimously to grant the posthumous pardon, the first for South
Carolina in a capital case.
Having taken office in July 2010, Mayor Benjamin's first term has been
characterized by his firm belief in Columbia's potential and the intense focus
on economic development and job creation that has helped secure more than
$1.1 billion in regional capital investment and create thousands new jobs in
the midst of a national recession. Combined with the rebirth of Main Street,
these accomplishments have drawn national attention and accolades including

PROPOSED QUESTIONS FOR MAYOR BENJAMIN (PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO

THIS), AND PANELISTS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EXPAND ON HOW THESE
QUESTIONS IMPACT YOU AS LEADERS, AND HOW THEY IMPACT THE CITIES
YOU REPRESENT!
1. Let's talk about job creation first. This is the number one priority for every
Mayor across the country. Within your Cities, can you please outline the job
creation initiatives that have been put in place and share how you've been
able to make them successful.
2. There are millions of open jobs across the United States but unemployment
remains high. What role can our Cites / Mayors play to connect job seekers
with employers?
3. It's no secret that unemployment rates for veterans are very high but there
are other groups that are particularly hurting like youth and recent graduates.
How can Cities support federal programs like Joining Forces and Summer Jobs
Plus or are local programs more important?
4. According to NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) 7 out
of every 10 internships turn into full time jobs suggesting that internships are
the "new interview." How are you encouraging your small businesses to hire
interns?
5. According to Jobvite, 36% of job seekers have trouble finding positions that
match their skills. How do Cities track this problem and make sure that the
right jobs are available for their citizens?
6. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, you are 20 times
more likely to find a job if you have are introduced to a hiring employer. What
can Mayors / Cities do to help job seekers maximize a positive outcome in
their job search?
7. In recent years there have been 2 huge technology advances beyond the
Internet - first social media and now mobile. I want to talk about social media
first. More than 1 billion people use Facebook and Twitter, sharing
information with their friends. Do you believe that social networking can help
job seekers find jobs and, if so, how can government play a role?
8. Americans are increasingly becoming mobile (over 90% are subscribers
according to the CTIA ? the association for the wireless industry). Do you
believe that "Mobile" technology has a role to play connecting small business
with job seekers in your cities and how are you facilitating it?
9. We've talked a lot about job seekers so let's talk about employers now. The
vast majority of jobs in the United States emanate from small businesses. How
can Mayors / Cities support a small business in an increasingly "Mobile" &
"Social" world?
10. Governing in today's world is becoming more and more challenging but
how can we as leaders promote a community based technology solution to
create better matches for all of our constituents and business alike?
LET'S PLAN TO MEET AS A GROUP IN THE SESSION ROOM BY 1 PM ON FRIDAY
JUNE 1, 2012.

Hi Alisha,
No need for apologies, I completely understand. I just want to give you the context
for why I've been unable to lock down a time. Mayor Johnson is the First VP of this
organization and as such he is part of the sessions and also has separate meetings
such as the board of directors and others that he has to take. So his schedule is
back-to-back for the most part. Also, because the conference is running a little
behind schedule I can't be certain when he will even have time in between sessions.
That's why I am unable to confirm. I would like to communicate this to Robin so he
understands the full situation because I feel badly that we've been unable to secure
a meeting time. Should I email him directly or would one of you rather do it? Just
let me know.

PROPOSED QUESTIONS FOR MAYOR BENJAMIN (PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THIS), AND
PANELISTS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EXPAND ON HOW THESE QUESTIONS IMPACT YOU AS
LEADERS, AND HOW THEY IMPACT THE CITIES YOU REPRESENT!
1. Let's talk about job creation first. This is the number one priority for every Mayor across
the country. Within your Cities, can you please outline the job creation initiatives that have
been put in place and share how you've been able to make them successful.
2. There are millions of open jobs across the United States but unemployment remains high.
What role can our Cites / Mayors play to connect job seekers with employers?
3. It's no secret that unemployment rates for veterans are very high but there are other
groups that are particularly hurting like youth and recent graduates. How can Cities support
federal programs like Joining Forces and Summer Jobs Plus or are local programs more
important?
4. According to NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) 7 out of every 10
internships turn into full time jobs suggesting that internships are the "new interview." How
are you encouraging your small businesses to hire interns?
5. According to Jobvite, 36% of job seekers have trouble finding positions that match their
skills. How do Cities track this problem and make sure that the right jobs are available for
their citizens?
6. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, you are 20 times more likely to
find a job if you have are introduced to a hiring employer. What can Mayors / Cities do to
help job seekers maximize a positive outcome in their job search?
7. In recent years there have been 2 huge technology advances beyond the Internet - first
social media and now mobile. I want to talk about social media first. More than 1 billion
people use Facebook and Twitter, sharing information with their friends. Do you believe that
social networking can help job seekers find jobs and, if so, how can government play a role?
8. Americans are increasingly becoming mobile (over 90% are subscribers according to the
CTIA ? the association for the wireless industry). Do you believe that "Mobile" technology
has a role to play connecting small business with job seekers in your cities and how are you
facilitating it?
9. We've talked a lot about job seekers so let's talk about employers now. The vast majority
of jobs in the United States emanate from small businesses. How can Mayors / Cities
support a small business in an increasingly "Mobile" & "Social" world?
10. Governing in today's world is becoming more and more challenging but how can we as
leaders promote a community based technology solution to create better matches for all of
our constituents and business alike?

ALL,
We are very excited about the NCBM event this week In Atlanta, GA! (See attached AD that
will be in the NCBM Convention guide)!
Social media is not the way of the future, it is the way of now. According to an August, 2011
Pew Internet Research Report, over 65% of online adults use social networking sites. As
Mayors across the country are discovering, the 21st century is one of the greatest periods in
the history of the world in which to govern because of ground-breaking technology and
communications tools. Through social media tools like Facebook and Twitter, Mayors can
communicate with constituents and key audiences instantly and frequently. Innovative
leaders are realizing that social media?s impact extends beyond just communication and
that social media can be used to address major social problems, including one of the biggest
problems facing every Mayor today: #JOBS.
Despite the reports we hear in the media about the unemployment rate dropping or staying
constant, we know that there are jobs in our cities. Local employers are hiring every day.
New businesses are opening and existing businesses are expanding. The key is to connect
these job opportunities with constituent job seekers. Key city leaders from two major
American cities will discuss how they are embracing social media to connect their
constituent job seekers with small, medium and large businesses.
Do you wish you had a technology platform to power your jobs creation initiatives and
campaigns? Do you wish you had better data to understand exactly what the jobs situation
is in your city, the number of job seekers and number of opportunities, and details about
exactly what and where those opportunities are? Are you interested in strengthening your
city?s image nationally and internationally to attract new citizens and businesses to move to
the area? Are you looking to promote local and regional businesses? Join this session and
hear from two of America?s great cities as to how technology, and specifically social media,
is helping to address these issues so they can put Americans in their city back to work!

Mr. Cotter is responsible for the development and strategic direction of the TweetMyJobs
Government Platform for jobs. By harnessing the power of the Internet, social network and
mobile into a branded and dedicated jobs platform, government can promote and enable
connectivity between local businesses that have employment opportunities for their
constituents. Through this innovative new technology, elected and community leaders can
create a hub where job seekers and businesses can come together so that open positions are
filled with top local talent thus enhancing the economic well being of the communities.
Previously, Mr. Cotter was the senior vice president of market development at Blackboard
Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBB). He focused on the initiatives for the next generation of notification and
alerts technology, with an emphasis on proximity and CMAS (cell broadcasting alerts). Prior,
as president of Blackboard Connect for Government, he led Blackboard Connect (formerly
The NTI Group) to be the number one provider of hosted, time-sensitive mass notification
services focused on assisting K12 leaders, government and civil leaders to communicate
quickly and efficiently with their constituents using multi-modal technologies.
Mr. Cotter has an extensive background in developing and managing new business
expansion, client management, sales, and market strategy. Previous to joining the NTI team,
Mr. Cotter was a founder and chief executive officer of the F2F Group, Inc., a leading
business and technology process consultancy firm.

MODERATOR:
He has worked very actively in community initiatives with numerous public and private
organizations dating back to his years at the University of South Carolina where he served as
President of the Student Government and as Student Bar Association President at the USC
School of Law.
Mayor Benjamin has continued that service through the present, serving on numerous
boards for nonprofit organizations such as the Columbia Urban League, Benedict College, the
Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce and as a Founding Board Member of the Eau
Claire Promise Zone. He also served as a founding member of Choose Children First.
In 1999, at age 29 Benjamin was appointed to Governor Jim Hodges' Cabinet as director of
the state's second largest law enforcement agency, the Department of Probation, Parole,
and Pardon Services.
In 2009, Benjamin drew national attention by representing prominent radio host Tom Joyner
and securing a pardon for Joyner's great uncles wrongfully convicted in the death of a 73year-old Confederate veteran and executed in 1913. In a landmark decision, the South
Carolina Board of Paroles and Pardons voted unanimously to grant the posthumous pardon,
the first for South Carolina in a capital case.
Having taken office in July 2010, Mayor Benjamin's first term has been characterized by his
firm belief in Columbia's potential and the intense focus on economic development and job
creation that has helped secure more than $1.1 billion in regional capital investment and
create thousands new jobs in the midst of a national recession. Combined with the rebirth of
Main Street, these accomplishments have drawn national attention and accolades including
his being awarded an Aspen Rodel Fellowship, elected to the U.S. Conference of Mayors
Advisory Board and, most recently, being named one of The Washington Post's "2011 The
Root 100 List: The 100 most influential African Americans in 2011."
In addition to his work as Mayor, Benjamin practices law with Ogletree, Deakins, Nash,
Smoak & Stewart.
He is married to the Honorable DeAndrea Gist Benjamin, a circuit court judge in South
Carolina's Fifth Judicial Circuit. The two are the proud parents of two daughters Bethany (7)
and Jordan Grace (4).

Mayor, great being with you again at the AEG event this week. Thanks for reaching
out. I am cc'ing my business partner Matt Rodriquez as Robin Richards (CEO of
Tweet My Jobs.) Robin's company is what I was explaining to you, how they can
dramatically increase efficiencies in filling job openings with those looking for work.
It's an amazingly powerful resource that Cory Booker, Kasim Reed, Gov. Duval
Patrick, the Governor of Puerto Rico and others have purchased and are huge
advocates of as they work to increase the employment rate in their cities and
states.
Robin will be at NCBM in ATL next week. I assume you'll be there? If so, can we set
a meeting with at least you and Robin? Not sure on my travel schedule yet. I think
you'll be very excited after seeing a short 5 minute demo.
Thanks and let me know if we can set something up.

She isnt expecting a response. It was a while ago. I would say the next steps are to follow up with
City Managers office to see if they even have any interest and then let the Mayor know what next
steps are based on that.

Hi Alisha,
No need for apologies, I completely understand. I just want to give you the context for why
I've been unable to lock down a time. Mayor Johnson is the First VP of this organization and
as such he is part of the sessions and also has separate meetings such as the board of
directors and others that he has to take. So his schedule is back-to-back for the most part.
Also, because the conference is running a little behind schedule I can't be certain when he
will even have time in between sessions. That's why I am unable to confirm. I would like to
communicate this to Robin so he understands the full situation because I feel badly that
we've been unable to secure a meeting time. Should I email him directly or would one of you
rather do it? Just let me know.

Also, we?d love to get a guest speaker. I know Mike Feinberg?s mom lives in
Sacramento so he visits sometime. Any chance MKJ could see when he?s coming to
Sacramento and hopefully we could align this event with Feinberg being here? This
second request is certainly a long shot, but I wanted to ask.
Thanks!

To: Jim Scheible
He will likely be in Atlanta for the National Conference of Black Mayors annual meeting.
This organization has a tendency to cancel, so I will still flag this event just in case.
What is the location?
Hi Adrianne,
We are going to do an appreciation event for SHPS staff and especially teachers and it
would be great if he could stop by.

I connected with Mike already. He might be able to do May 23 rd but I am waiting

for him to confirm the time. If he can do it we will move the event to May 23 rd.
If he can?t I?ll reach out to Erin through Rahul.
Can you block out MKJ?s schedule on 5/23 from 6 ? 7 for this, in case Mike
confirms?
Also, do you have contact info for Rafe?
Thanks so much!

complete the form attached and then fax to them at 404-765-6430 which is also reflected on the

The reception is co-hosted by NCBM and several other organizations. Therefore, I cannot provide you with a total
of attendees at this time. We have not been provided with the script for the reception yet but the event starts at 9 in
the evening. However, I will reach out and upon receipt I will forward the exact times to your attention. At this time,
are mayors are still providing us with reservations. I have added Mayor Johnson to the list just to ensure he had a

I see. That makes a difference. I will check to see if there is a vendor code on file. If not, we will
need to get such from the vendor. I will let you know. This one may have to wait.

Hi Stephanie
When you have a chance, can you please check whether the City paid for the Mayors annual dues

Re: National Conference of Black Mayors, Vanessa Williams
Hi Benjamin,
We'd still be very much interested in getting the mayor's take on the Vanessa Williams mess as the
conference continues to make controversial news here in Bermuda. (see below)
Feel free to let me know if your office would like to say anything. My deadline now is 4 pm eastern time
tomorrow (Thursday).
Thanks again for your time and consideration.

can start the selection process per our discussion earlier this week. The first of the two trips isn't too

NCBM & NBRPA Partnership Proposal.pdf
Good morning Arnie/Charece,

I hope this message finds you both well. Please forgive the delayed response
however there was limited internet access during my stay in Nigeria. Shantel
Gilbert of my office provided a copy of the attached proposal during the
time of my travel. Unfortunately, due to my inability to pull down this
document via the internet, I have not been able to edit the document.
Because there has been this delay, I am forwarding this very rough copy of
the proposal for your review. Should you find anything missing that should
be added please notify Ms. Gilbert. She will be making my edits today and
forwarding to your attention the final version of the attached working
document. At first look, I will alter the language from somewhat to spell
out the specific deliverables of NCBM and NBRPA so that roles are not
confused i.e. NBRPA members will not provide tutoring session only clinics
and camps. Second, I will have both the language of the stipend and the
addition of the actual calendar for the 2013 international summits and NCBM
national/state chapter events in which member mayors can work with NBRPA
local chapters.
Thank you again for your patience. From Israel to the campaign, holidays to
inauguration, it has been an very unusually busy year. I welcome this
opportunity to know get back things back to normal and looking forward to
the potential of the partnership.
All the best,
Vanessa

Charece that my grandfather suffered from a massive heart attack last week
and has had to undergo surgery as a result. Praise God he will be released
from ICU on Sunday. I will officially return to the office Tuesday but will

Hi Kellyn,
Sorry I missed you in Vegas and was unable to participate in the meeting on the Affordable Care Act
and potential roles of the Mayors in outreach and get citizens enrolled. I did receive the handouts
and our office has been doing a lot of research locally. Are you available to talk today or tomorrow
on potential next steps and how we can make sure we are align with the White House on best
practices or next steps in engaging the Mayors? Ideally Mayor Johnson would like to schedule a
preliminary meeting with White House Staff next week and then roll out a plan with the mayors with
in the NCBM early August. We know October is just around the corner.
Please let me know when is a good time for us to sync up.
Thanks.

week, December 16th-23rd, will be NCBM's ?Reach Out and Touch Week" for the ACA.
Many of our constituents are just one diagnosis or accident away from a health crisis that can

Good Morning:
On behalf of the Alabama Conference of Black Mayors, its officers and members
are strongly committed to working with citizens in the various respective
communities, cities and towns across the state to help ensure that those who
desire signing up for healthcare can do so in whatever form made readily
available, i.e. internet website, mail, or on-site form placing. In order to facilitate
one or more of these efforts to assist individuals with signing up, several of the
communities, do not have internet accessibility, specifically in the some of our rural
(a.k.a black belt counties and communities), however, for those that do not have
internet access or equipment i.e. computers to access the internet, we are in need
of the forms to provide to those who need and desire a healthcare package/plan.
In addition, if basic instructions as to what needs to be filled out on the forms can
be provided, we can be able to call on community bases organizations to assist in
communities, cities and towns across the state to join in this effort.
In my community I have already called on clergy and school system organizations
to work with me in my community to implement Health Care For All Day, in which
on that specific day, we will have volunteers, spiritual leaders, community
organizations and school organizations to gather in various locations to assist
individuals with completing their healthcare package/plan. The details of the
planning of this special day are currently being discuss by some members of my
community committees. I do need some directives as to whether this is a viable
plan of action. Likewise, postage for the mailing of these forms has become a
matter of question by some members of my City Council.
Some of the mayors in the state who are very limited with staffing are willing to
do whatever they can to assist in helping their constituents with obtaining
healthcare information and signing up for the healthcare package/plan of their
choice.
I recognize that time is of essence and with that in mind, I will be most humbly
grateful and appreciative for any input and or technical assistance in this regards.
A point of note, expressed by some of the mayors who are in a republican served
congressional district, it has been expressed that support for the healthcare plans
as far as technical assistance, i.e. access to computers and or information
availability via printed forms are not being made available. I could not intelligently
address those specific concerns without knowing first what if anything is available
for these communities and or towns with this concern. Your shared conversation
towards this express conversation will be appreciated.
Respectfully and appreciatively,
Walter Hill, Mayor
President of Alabama Conference of Black Mayors, Inc.,

Mayor Hill,
Would you be comfortable with President Johnson calling on you to discuss your
efforts on ACA in Alabama during the call on Monday? I will call you

Many Thanks,

Good Morning:
On behalf of the Alabama Conference of Black Mayors, its officers and members
are strongly committed to working with citizens in the various respective
communities, cities and towns across the state to help ensure that those who
desire signing up for healthcare can do so in whatever form made readily
available, i.e. internet website, mail, or on-site form placing. In order to facilitate
one or more of these efforts to assist individuals with signing up, several of the
communities, do not have internet accessibility, specifically in the some of our rural
(a.k.a black belt counties and communities), however, for those that do not have
internet access or equipment i.e. computers to access the internet, we are in need
of the forms to provide to those who need and desire a healthcare package/plan.
In addition, if basic instructions as to what needs to be filled out on the forms can
be provided, we can be able to call on community bases organizations to assist in
communities, cities and towns across the state to join in this effort.
In my community I have already called on clergy and school system organizations
to work with me in my community to implement Health Care For All Day, in which
on that specific day, we will have volunteers, spiritual leaders, community
organizations and school organizations to gather in various locations to assist
individuals with completing their healthcare package/plan. The details of the
planning of this special day are currently being discuss by some members of my
community committees. I do need some directives as to whether this is a viable
plan of action. Likewise, postage for the mailing of these forms has become a
matter of question by some members of my City Council.
Some of the mayors in the state who are very limited with staffing are willing to
do whatever they can to assist in helping their constituents with obtaining
healthcare information and signing up for the healthcare package/plan of their
choice.
I recognize that time is of essence and with that in mind, I will be most humbly
grateful and appreciative for any input and or technical assistance in this regards.
congressional district, it has been expressed that support for the healthcare plans
as far as technical assistance, i.e. access to computers and or information
availability via printed forms are not being made available. I could not intelligently
address those specific concerns without knowing first what if anything is available
for these communities and or towns with this concern. Your shared conversation
towards this express conversation will be appreciated.
Walter Hill, Mayor

Yes, I am on line, I wasn't sure if Mayor Johnson and the other 15 others on line
heard me when I chimed in on the conference call. I spoke with some of the
mayor's across Alabama prior to my entering the conference call who express
some concerns, thus, delaying my immediate entry on the conference call. The
concern is quite vital to the efforts to get citizens in theses respective communities
signed up for health care under the healthcare initiative. I caught the last 10
minutes of the conference call, and due to the conference call being wrapped up, I
still wish to inquire about the concerns of some of the Mayors in Alabama
expressed through our State Executive Director.

Re: NCBM ACA Call Participants
I looked over the updated list and all the numbers I was able to decipher are mayors
that are already listed
Can you add any new names from the deciphered numbers to the confirmed list
and send to me. We will use that as the best info we have for now. I will forward
the list to you.

Hi Corina,
I?m checking to see if you were able to decipher who was actually on
the call. The White House is asking for the list and some other
issues. Before I call them back I would like to have that info. Please
forward what you have and perhaps Nick can complete it. Then Nick

I couldn't find all of the mayor's numbers on the Excel sheet, so maybe you can find them
elsewhere and plug them in. I also left most of the "Outreach Lead" column empty so that
you can figure that out tomorrow. These are the top 50 mayors that seemed the most
important to contact. I'm sure there are more. Hope this helps!

Dear Mayors,
Today?s conference call on ACA was a great success with almost two dozen mayors
participating. Thanks to all who joined in and to mayors Goodall, Covington, Edwards and
Ford for providing best practices and questions that will help us all. Of course it is always an
asset to have direct access to White House staff and I would like to thank Deputy Director
Molly Ward, and Elias Alcantara, Staff Assistant, both of Office of Intergovernmental
Affairs for their participation and commitment to follow up on some key questions.
We need everyone to complete an ACA Participating Commitment Form and submit it
to President Johnson's office so we can include the great things that everyone is doing in
the results we will report to the White House and HHS. With everyone?s participation we
can reach our goals of: 1) 100 mayors committed; 2) 1000 actions taken; and 3) 100,000
persons enrolled.
Attached are the ACA Participation Commitment Form and Tool Kit for your reference.
Please complete the ACA Participation Form and fax or email the completed form to 916808-7456 (fax) or [email protected] . Please direct all your questions to
Cassandra Jennings at 916-808-1018 or 916-919-7766.

Re: NCBM ACA Ourtreach Initiative Handouts for Sept 13
Hi Cassandra,
Just wanted to give you a heads up that it looks like the members will be dialing-in
instead of coming in person. So, at this point I think we just need to focus on the
TPs for Friday, and the follow-up email that can include your attachments.
Many Thanks,
Stephanie
Mariah & Stephanie,
Attached are the 3 documents to be distributed at the NCBM Board Meeting on

Sept 13 th. None of the Board Members have signed on yet so it will be good to
summarize the program, review the call to action and ask them to sign the
commitment forms.
I will follow up in a separate email with the suggested talking points for the Mayor
at the meeting.
Please let me know if you need anything else. I am available until Thursday night
and then my availability will be limited. I will be flying all day Friday.

Re: NCBM ACA Planning Schedule
Thanks so much Cassandra. A couple of thoughts:

Can you add David Agnew to the list of participants on 7/29 (he was confirmed
yesterday, no?)
Can we send the notice out to NCBM members earlier than 8/2 if we go with 8/13
for the call?
Other than that, it looks good.
Thanks again.

Sorry you were not able to join in.
I will forward to you the information distributed after the call and hope that your City will join in on

It think it reads wells, good job. The only point I may add is the usage of the ?public health
model? to address the root causes of violence. This is consistent with the framework President
Obama is rolling out as part of his package to include mental health as a solution in addressing gun
violence. MKJ was ahead of the curb on this as he has been advocating for this for a couple years.

To: Khaalid Muttaqi; Symia Stigler
Subject: NCBM Article - Literacy and Violence
Hi Khaalid and Symia,
Thank you so much for your help on the convention article on literacy and violence
for the National Conference of Black Mayors. I used the Gang Task force grant
data and remixed it with other materials on the Gang Task Force and literacy.
Please see the attached draft and let me know if you have any thoughts or
comments. Feel free to use track changes, hand mark up, or just shoot me a few
bullets.
I would love to get you feedback by tomorrow morning, so that I can send this to
Aisha tomorrow, then put it in the Mayor's weekend binder on Friday.
Many Thanks!
Stephanie

Update on numbers are important. See below. The others will be nice to add.


Thanks, Cassandra. I scripted Jacqueline Goodall to discuss ACA, more of a

review of what has been done. See the points below. Let me know if these points
are okay of it you prefer something else.
Thank you Mayor Johnson and Mayor William Johnson for the Executive
Director Update.
? The White House has tasked us to assist in enrolling the uninsured,
particularly in states that do not have state-based exchanges and instead rely
on federal based exchanges.
? To answer the call, we launched NCBM?s Affordable Care Act Enrollment
Initiative in August 2013 with a kick-off call with U.S. Secretary of Health and
Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius.
? Our goal for NCBM?s Affordable Care Act Outreach & Enrollment
Initiative is to enroll at least 10 percent of the estimated uninsured
individuals in each city of each participating state?s marketplace, a total of
roughly 100,000 persons. To reach that goal, we are asking members to
commit to taking at least 10 online and offline actions, such as:
o Hosting educational events
o Training staff
o Sharing links and information on websites and social media
platforms
? NCBM also rolled out ?Reach out and Touch Week? from December 16 ?
23, 2013 where mayors were encouraged to reach out to their constituents
and have them enroll in the healthcare marketplace.
? Nationally, 2.2 million people have signed up on healthcare.gov, with 1.8
M of those sign-ups occurring in December alone.
? Therefore, there is still much work to be done before this year?s
enrollment deadline approaches on March 31 st.
? Please continue to encourage the uninsured in your community to sign-
up.
? Especially take advantage of MLK Weekend events and Black History Month to get
people signed up. Go were the people are.
? Also, don?t forget to tweet #getcovered to get the word out on this
historic initiative, particularly to young people who often go uninsured.
? Stories are Success. Please share your stories about sign ups so we can share with other
NCBM mayors and the White House.
? Contact Cassandra Jennings in Mayor Johnson?s office with any questions

and to share your success stories at [email protected].
(President Johnson will then lead the discussion on the 2014 Goals)

Okay. How about Hattie.
Also if possible I would like to add a talking point for the Mayor on ACA. I just got off the phone
with WH and they are really pushing young people and theme weeks for outreach. With MLK
weekend coming up, we should make sure we are at the events signing people up. The message
is:
ACA Report From the White House.

Background/Facts
? 2.2 M people have signed up for private plans ( of those, 1.8 M signed up in Dec which is 5
times the number who signed up in Oct & Nov combined)
o 30% are younger than 35 years of age
o 24% are between 18-34 years old
? Younger people will sign up at near the end
? Another 3M young people gained access to healthcare by being allowed to stay on parents?
plan until 26 years old
? The enrollment is in line with the Mass enrollment
Call to Action
? Be aggressive and creative in your outreach
o Go to where the youth and people are
? Take advantage of the MLK events and activities- Make sure someone is there to enroll
o In Sacramento, we have a big WALK for MLK. There will be thousands of
people participating.
? Our enrollers and counselors will be out in full force
? Tell your stories ? every person that enrolls is a success story
o We want to hear from you
o The White house wants to hear your stories
? Let us share your story with the White House
? In Nashville, a gentleman had coverage for himself and children for
$1400 and every year it goes up. He got frustrated and went to the
Marketplace. He went to the Marketplace and received, actually better
coverage, at half the cost. SUCCESS.

Thanks. Jacqueline confirm and Edna declined. If you could reach out to Kenneth
that would be helpful.

So we should reach out to those not on the list? E.g. Jacqueline Goodall, Edna
Jackson, Kenneth Smith, etc.

Call to Action
Be aggressive and creative in your outreach
Take advantage of the MLK events and activities- Make sure someone is there to enroll
participating.
Our enrollers and counselors will be out in full force
Tell your stories every person that enrolls is a success story
Let us share your story with the White House
In Nashville, a gentleman had coverage for himself and children for $1400
the cost. SUCCESS.

So we should reach out to those not on the list? E.g. Jacqueline Goodall, Edna Jackson, Kenneth
Smith, etc.

Thanks all. I just spoke to MKJ and he really wants mayors on the call (including nonBoard members), please reach out again to your contacts who we have not heard from.

Yes. I had planned to join in if it is not too late.

Hi Cassandra,
I just wanted to confirm whether you want to/ plan to attend the board meeting tomorrow. I
haven't gotten a request for you to be there other than to reach out to your contacts. I am
about to send instructions to the team for tomorrow and wanted to check in with you first.
Many Thanks,
Stephanie

Also if possible I would like to add a talking point for the Mayor on ACA. I just got off the phone with
WH and they are really pushing young people and theme weeks for outreach. With MLK weekend
coming up, we should make sure we are at the events signing people up. The message is:
Background/Facts
? 2.2 M people have signed up for private plans ( of those, 1.8 M signed up in Dec which is 5 times
the number who signed up in Oct & Nov combined)
? Another 3M young people gained access to healthcare by being allowed to stay on parents plan

Will reach out to them Monday on this
On Jun 28, 2013, at 5:54 PM, Cassandra Jennings

Okay. I thought the Lead Mayors would be reaching out to current members to
confirm what we want to know below. Actually, Mayor Goodalls office had offered
to reach out to other Maryland Mayors to confirm they were current, etal. At any rate,
I will call my list and confirm status. It would be great if Alex could reach out on the
other issue so they know that we are responsive. Thanks.

Hi Cassandra,
Outreach for new members or new positions will be next. Right now we are
working to solidify the board.
Alex will reach out to write up the details on that complaint. Right now we are
cataloging issues to address them later.
On Jun 28, 2013 4:22 PM, "Cassandra Jennings"
Meera, yes I did receive your emails. Thanks.
Based on my earlier conversations I think Jacqueline Goodall would be a good lead

Mayor for Maryland Chapter. Should I outreach to her to make the calls or make them
directly myself?
Has someone followed up with her office regarding the HUD grant? I provided some
information a week or so ago regarding her concern about a $49,500 grant written to
the NCBM on behalf of the Maryland chapter. Her contact was anxious to hear from us
and glad to speak with your legal team. Let me know the status and if you need any
more information from me on this matter.

just yet.
On Jun 27, 2013 6:00 PM, "Meera Krishnan"
Hi all,
Two quick points on this outreach, after looking back at my notes:
1) For certain states, MKJ has indicated outreach "lead" mayors who can
potentially get other mayors from that state on board, if we don't have personal
relationships with those other mayors:
Johnny Ford (Alabama). Other mayors from Alabama: William Bell, Gary
Richardson
Cedric Glover (Louisiana). Other mayors from Louisiana: Edward Brown,
John Overton, Jaime Mayo
Hilliard Hampton (Michigan). Other mayors from Michigan: Dave Bing
William Johnson or Steve Benjamin (South Carolina). Other mayors from
SC: Terry Wright
John White (TX). Other mayors from TX: Michael Wolfe.
I think MKJ's point was to ask these lead mayors during your outreach if they
can garner support from others in that state if we don't yet have it - so please
keep that in mind for your outreach. (I haven't been in the weeds on this, so
please correct me if that's not accurate....)
2) Mariah - your TP's are a little different since you're calling mostly bigger city
USCM mayors. Do you feel like you have a good handle on your TP's, or would
you like us to draft something?
Thanks,
Meera
On Thu, Jun 27, 2013 at 11:51 AM, Meera Krishnan
Hi all,
If you haven't already been in the loop, on this, MKJ would like us to outreach to
the Board of Directors to ascertain the following key pieces of information: (1) Is
this person actually on the board? (2) Is this person in good standing? (paid +
still mayor), (3) Is this person a supporter of MKJ?
Attached you will find:
(1) Assignments for each person
(2) Talking points - please read through these as there is additional
information from the 3 key points above we'd like for tracking purposes. We
have also included standard TP's about NCBM and the audit - in the same doc as
the assignments.
(3) A tracker - as you do your outreach, please fill out the tracker and send the
information to Asha (cc'ed).
(4) A reference document detailing whether each person attended the 5/30 and
5/31 meetings, as well as when we think their term will end (you will see this
folded into the TP's).
Please complete your outreach as soon as possible - the deadline is July 2. You
should have contact info from a previous spreadsheet Aisha sent out - let us
know if you don't have it.
Thanks,
Meera

We are doing all of the current outreach to confirm board members and our support
numbers by Tuesday. We will then turn to phase two of outreach.
Alex, the request is that you connect with Cassandra to chronicle the details of what
she learned (not reach out to that Mayor). We can then decide how to respond and
what other details we need.
Thanks.

Thanks Meera.
I think the only distinction is that we are not asking mayors to do that outreach just
yet.

The current outreach to confirm if people have paid and gauge their support?
Cassandra. We would not ask other mayors to do that for us.
Recruiting other mayors? That we could enlist strong supporters to help us with.

information a week or so ago regarding her concern about a $49,500 grant written to the
NCBM on behalf of the Maryland chapter. Her contact was anxious to hear from us and glad to
speak with your legal team. Let me know the status and if you need any more information from
me on this matter.

Re: ncbm board votes to terminate the executive director
Monday, September 09, 2013 8:06:16 AM
Andre-Please add WV Bell to Birmingham meeting list

Stephanie- a big action item today is reaching out to board members and getting
their confirmation for the board meeting. Can you set up an outreach tracker and
make sure each person calls their people? Everyone should have the dial in handy to
provide to Mayors (AL can you get that?). Assign Cassandra's to other people.
Thanks.
MKJ should decide if he wants me to reach out to Benjamin (prob yes), Wharton,
and Mallory (prob yes).
WA Bell is a yes and WV Bell as noted below will join by phone if possible.

Subject: ncbm board votes to terminate the executive director
dear members of the ncbm board,
thank you to all who were able to join our board call today. i appreciate your responsiveness and making
time to engage in this important effort.
the board passed a motion today to terminate vanessa williams as executive director of ncbm. a formal
termination letter has been sent by our lawyers to her lawyers and a press release will follow. this is an
important step for ncbm and will allow us to establish new leadership and move the organization forward.
you can expect to receive three things from me next week:
1. board meeting minutes

2. a press release about today's vote
3. an agenda for our board meeting on the 13th in birmingham
during our board meeting on september 13th (4-5:30 pm cst / 5-6:30 pm est), we will discuss the future of
ncbm and what the next steps are to restore the organization. please rsvp for that meeting with aisha lowe
([email protected]; 916.862.1149) and let us know if you can attend in-person in birmingham or
join by phone.

MS, please fill me in on peoples' work for this week. Is outreach to all BOD to get
the BOD members confirmed this week a part of that work?
Thanks.
Hi Team,
As we discussed this morning, we won't have morning or afternoon
check-ins until Friday of this week.
I have heard from all of you except Anita regarding your work for the
week. Anita - will you email me so we can set up a call?
I want us to keep moving the ball forward this week and get caught up
on longer term items while folks are traveling. Please let me know if you
complete your tasks and therefore have capacity to pick up something
else.
Also, please remember to be available and in the office on Wednesday
afternoon in the event that MKJ wants to debrief after the hearing.
Thanks,

I apologize about the miscommunication this morning. I arrived at 8am to find that
the meeting was cancelled. I had another meeting at 9am that took sometime to
prepare for. Please let me know when you are available for a call. I am available
tomorrow July 9, between the hours of 9am-12pm and 2pm-4pm.
On Friday I came to the office to work on the NCBM potential mayors excel sheet. I
am currently 80/552.
Specifically, the following states are complete: DC, GA, MO, CA, DE. I am currently working on AL.
Please let me know if I should prioritize another state.

NCBM_Tracker One Pager.xlsx
TeamNon-Atlanta folks- let's sync up this morning at 9:15am (I will be dialing in). MKJ
wants to establish four things today ASAP:
1. Get the number of paid (w/ proof) at the 5.30 Elections up by at least 3
2. Determine how many BOD members were paid by 5.31 per any records,
including VW's list (out of the possible 53, see attached, tab entitled "Full
BOD Tracker")
3. Determine how many BOD members were paid at the 5.31 meeting
Please use the same dial in as before, and text me if you are on the line but no one
is there. Dial in is 805-360-1000, code is 168362.
Meera - can you please dial in from the Phoenix Room?
Mariah
AL - I'll send you a separate email on individual's work.
Aaron is sending an update on where we stand in terms of Board paid supporters
(w/ proof of payment).
It seems like VW is calling a BOD meeting Friday (per the article). We will prioritize
BOD outreach this week. Aaron is reconciling all of our info so we have the most
current picture. From there, I'll stay on top of outreach leads to get to 20.
FYI - I'll be at a dentist appointment tomorrow morning, arriving around 10:00am.
Thanks all,

Hi Adam,
I spoke to Mayor Johnson and Vanessa Williams, NCBM executive director, about the Secretary?s
attendance on Friday, May 31 st. Mayor Johnson is scheduled to give his presidency kick-off speech
that same day during a luncheon at 11:30 AM ? 1 PM. It would be great if the Secretary could speak
during a session immediately after lunch (1:30 ? 2:30 PM), or sometime in the afternoon, so that the
Secretary?s session is the first big kick-off session of Mayor Johnson?s presidency.
Of course, everyone will be flexible to accommodate the Secretary?s schedule if another time is
preferred. Thank you again for all of your coordination efforts.
Best Regards,
Stephanie

Thanks Stephanie. Secretary Duncan is confirmed for Friday, May 31, from 1:30 to 2:30 PM. At your
convenience, can you answer the following questions?
Location including the address, room and floor

Agenda
Estimated audience size
Room set-up
Run of show including who will introduce the Secretary, how long he should speak, and if he
will take Q&A (note: for an hour session, we prefer 10-15 minutes of remarks and 45 minutes
of Q&A)
Will press be invited?
Will there be any other speakers? If yes, who and how long will they speak?
Will there be any other high level guest? If yes, who?
Should the Secretary specifically acknowledge anyone in his remarks? If yes, who?
Name and cell number for one of the organizers, in case we need to reach someone on the
day of the event?
Also, I just want to confirm that I should continue to work through your office for the conference,
versus someone at NCBM. I know you are in regular contact with the organization. Should I be
copying anyone from NCBM on these types of messages?
Best,
Adam

Thanks Stephanie. Secretary Duncan is confirmed for Friday, May 31, from 1:30 to 2:30 PM. At your
convenience, can you answer the following questions?
Location including the address, room and floor

Agenda
Estimated audience size
Room set-up
Run of show including who will introduce the Secretary, how long he should speak, and if he
will take Q&A (note: for an hour session, we prefer 10-15 minutes of remarks and 45 minutes
of Q&A)
Will press be invited?
Will there be any other speakers? If yes, who and how long will they speak?
Will there be any other high level guest? If yes, who?
Should the Secretary specifically acknowledge anyone in his remarks? If yes, who?
Name and cell number for one of the organizers, in case we need to reach someone on the
day of the event?
Also, I just want to confirm that I should continue to work through your office for the conference,
versus someone at NCBM. I know you are in regular contact with the organization. Should I be
copying anyone from NCBM on these types of messages?
Best,
Adam

To: Honeysett, Adam
Hi Adam,
I spoke to Mayor Johnson and Vanessa Williams, NCBM executive director, about the Secretary?s
that same day during a luncheon at 11:30 AM ? 1 PM. It would be great if the Secretary could speak
during a session immediately after lunch (1:30 ? 2:30 PM), or sometime in the afternoon, so that the
Secretary?s session is the first big kick-off session of Mayor Johnson?s presidency.
Of course, everyone will be flexible to accommodate the Secretary?s schedule if another time is
Best Regards,
Stephanie

12:15 am. It costs $16.50 one way or $29 round trip.
2) Marta: Get off at the P St. Center Station and you are 1 1/2 blocks
away from the hotel.
3) Cab: $32 one way (the below can possibly share a cab)
Tracy, Meera, and Cassandra arrive in ATL at the same time.
Adrianne and Stephanie arrive in ATL at the same time.
Leaving the hotel to the airport
Tracy and Mariah depart the same time.
Adrianne and Stephanie depart the same time.

Hi Daniel and Cassandra,
NCBM has asked that MKJ provide an article on literacy and violence for the convention program.
He has provided articles in the past as he is the 1st VP and the Chair of the Education Committee.
Mayor has asked that you both sign-off on the draft before I send it over to NCBM (attached and
copied below).
I worked with Khaalid on the gang task force content and Symia on literacy. Both Aisha and Ben
have already revised, reviewed, and signed-off.
Please let me know if you have any comments. I would be great to have your sign-off by end of day
Tuesday.
Separately, Vanessa Williams, the executive director of NCBM will be here on Monday and I try to
bring her around so that you can meet her. I am attaching her full day agenda. She will also be
speaking at Indivizible.
Many Thanks,

NCBM Convention Article

Education: The Solution to Violence in Our Communities
As mayors, one of our primary responsibilities is to ensure the safety and security of our citizens.
Safety is the most basic survival instinct we all share. Unfortunately, our cities are not as safe as they
could and should be. In 2011, the FBI reported that there were 1.4 million active gang members in
more than 33,000 gangs in the United States.
African American youth are disproportionately impacted by gang violence. According to the National
Gang Center, 32% of all reported gang members are African American, yet only 13.6 % of the total
U.S. population is African American. Youth and gang violence impacts us all. It threatens the safety in
our neighborhoods, in our schools, and in our homes. Therefore, it is vital that we, as African American
mayors, come together to address the underlying causes of this issue.
National Trends
A report by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency identified several risk factors that increase
the likelihood of gang membership among youth. These factors include poverty, substance abuse,
poor parental supervision, low parent education, frequent truancy, and ready access to drugs and
weapons. Youth subject to these risk factors are the same children impacted by low literacy rates.
Children with low levels of academic achievement are 3.1 times more likely to join a gang. Thirty-five
percent (35%) of academically low-performing children became delinquent compared with only about
20% of academically high-performing children. Literacy represents a key determinant of academic,
social, and economic success.

Given the connection between illiteracy, gang activity and delinquency, we have great reason to be
concerned about our African American youth. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of low-income African
American fourth grade students scored below proficient on the National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) reading test as compared to 76% of their low-income White peers and 70% of their
low-income Asian peers. Those low literacy rates are correlated with higher involvement in the juvenile
justice system and a greater likelihood of dropping out of school and of becoming a teen parent. The
Literacy Project Foundation reports that three out of five prisoners cannot read, 85% of juvenile
offenders are functionally illiterate, and some states even project the number of prison beds they will
need based on third grade reading scores.
This is a community crisis that we must tackle head on has community leaders.
Community Strategies
Frederick Douglass once said, It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. Mayors
and community leaders must work together to develop creative and innovative strategies that shift the
paradigm for combatting gangs and violence from suppression and incarceration to prevention and
education.
Mayors Gang Prevention Task Force
To that end, we established the Mayors Gang Prevention Task Force in the City of Sacramento in
February 2011 to address gang-related issues facing our city. The purpose of the Task Force is to
bring together community and faith-based organizations, neighborhood leaders, school officials,
government and all stakeholders within the Sacramento community to address a spike in incidents
related to youth and gang violence.
The Task Force facilitates the community discussion on youth and gang violence and developed a
comprehensive citywide gang prevention strategic plan. The Task Force has four key goals: (1)
increase school based supports and enrichment activities to facilitate student achievement, (2)
empower the community leaders to address gang involvement and create safe neighborhoods, (3)
provide workforce readiness and other positive alternatives for at-risk youth, and (4) develop regional
collaboration around law enforcement, awareness, and gang prevention programming. This year, the
Task Force has partnered with local law enforcement agencies and area merchants to facilitate a
citywide gun buy-back program where Sacramentans may anonymously, and without fear of
prosecution, turn in unwanted or illegal guns in exchange for gift cards. This strategy has been
successful in cities across the nation and is one mayors should consider replicating.
Sacramento Safe Community Partnership
Sacramento also works with faith-based organizations through the Sacramento Safe Community
Partnership (SSCP) to hold small town hall-style meetings (call-ins) with youth that are at the highest
risk of being subject to violence. During these call-ins, a host of community stakeholders from clergy
leaders to trauma nurses share powerful anti-violence messages. SSCP is based on Bostons wellknown Ceasefire initiative. Replicating a successful model is an effective and efficient way to address
these issues. Mayors should leverage the National Conference of Black Mayors and other mayoral
associations to exchange best practices that have proven successful across the nation.
Sacramento READS & the M.O.R.E. Project
In addition, gang and violence prevention initiatives must be coupled with a focus on improving
educational outcomes. To address early literacy, one of the primary risk factors for gang membership,
I launched Sacramento READS! with five partner school districts to increase third grade reading
proficiency from 37% to 80% by the year 2020. The National Conference of Black Mayors is also
tackling the literacy crisis through the M.O.R.E Project (Mayors Organizing Reading for Equality)
launched in March 2012 which helps mayors address early literacy through library assistance projects
and giving them tools to establish public-private partnerships.
The litmus test to determine if we are successful as mayors is whether we are facilitating successful
outcomes for our constituents that need us the most high risk youth that are targets of gangs and
violence need us now. I urge you to join me in my commitment to providing young people with the
tools and education they will need to be productive citizens. Together we can make a significant
difference in the health and safety of our neighborhoods for generations to come.

Hi Heather,
I hope youve had a good week.
Thank you for your messages this afternoon regarding the NCBM Annual Convention and the
journal. Because we have several email threads and several reference documents, Im attempting to
get some clarification so that I can take the requests back to my colleagues and come back to you
with follow up. I understand things are very busy on your end with conference planning, but I would
appreciate if you could expedite your response so that I may do the same on my end. I will be online
all weekend if you need to reach me.
Below are my clarification questions/requests for more information:
NCBM Annual Convention Journal Article

It would be helpful if you could send over prior versions of the journal along with any
articles you may have from the other Committee Chairs for this years journal.
Can you provide any background documentation you have on the M.O.R.E. Initiative, as well
as the partnership with Comcast? Im afraid we dont have enough context to be able to
write about the benefits of the Comcast partnership as you requested.
Can you share who the other contributors to the journal will be?
NCBM Annual Convention Education Working Session (Thurs May 31 from 2:15-3:00)
Can you share more information about the Education Working Session (objectives, format,
audience)?
Can you share the current lineup of speakers?
Can you provide suggested talking points for Mayor Johnson to use while moderating the
session?
If there is a designated POC within NCBM for this session, can you identify who that person
is for our planning purposes?
Your prompt attention to these questions is appreciated!
Best,

Good Afternoon Ms. Sheriff,
I am Heather Head with the National Conference of Black Mayors. I am completing the journal for our upcoming annual
convention. At the conference,NCBM is partnering with Comcast around ourM.O.R.E. Initiative, which is centered around
education. Due to Mayor Johnson being the Chair of our Education Committee and our 1st Vice President, would it be possible
to have a1 1/2page article by him in the journal entitled "Special Session on Education with Mayor Kevin Johnson." The
article would highlight education in minority communities, theM.O.R.E. Initiativeand the benefits of the partnership with
Comcast. Is this article doable as well as can I have it by the close of business day Tuesday, May 22nd.
I have left a message for you at your office, please give me a call at 404-765-6444. Thank you for yourhelp!

- Answer: The articles in the journal are not necessarily written by the Committee Chairs. In times past, we
have had articles written by federal departments. As well, as many articles are written in house. I have
attached sample articles from past journals for your reference. Thanks
Can you provide any background documentation you have on theM.O.R.E. Initiative, as well
- Answer: I have attached the M.O.R.E. packet for your reference to the program. The article is not centered
around the Comcast partnership in and of itself but its focusing on the importance of education in
minority communities. The Comcast rolecomes into play regarding how it can assistminorities
communities in theareas of education. I have included to links to the Comcast "Internet Essential" as
well.

The way Im reading this, M.O.R.E. is a literacy initiative that launched on March 2 (to
coincide with Read Across America Day), and the current plan is to offer three types of
programs mentoring (connecting Mayors to schools to motivate kids to read), library
assistance, and partnerships. Other than the Comcast partnership, is there anything being
done right now in the mentoring or library assistance space that you can share with me? Or
are those being developed?
- Answer: We have reached out to several federal agencies in attendance as well as our Business
Council Chair. So there will be 3-5 articles total in the journal presumably?
Is there any flexibility in the deadline for the article?
NCBMAnnual Convention Education Working Session (Thurs May 31 from 2:15-3:00)
audience)?
- Answer: The Education Session focuses on the Comcast Partnership and is composed soley of
Comcast Representatives. Mayor Johnson will be moderating the session; therefore, he will
need to talk about:
1. T he state of our education systems within our communities and theimportance of
education;
2. T he Education Committees focus;
3. T alk about the M.O.R.E. program;
4. The importance of parntering with organizations that share in our focus, i.e. Comcast
"Internet Essentials," from there the Comcast panel will begin.

We are wondering what the audience will be like- can you provide a list of registered
attendees, including all mayors?
- Will Mayor Johnson be facilitating a Q&A portion as well during this session? Meaning, are
the Comcast reps going to be prepared to answer questions?
- What is the breakdown of timings? (Ex: 5 minute intro by Mayor Johnson, panel for 30
minutes, Q&A for 10 minutes if applicable?)
- Answer: The session is sponsored by Comcast and is composed of Comcast representatives.
We are currently awaiting the final list of speakers and upon receipt we will forward their
names and titles. Thanks!

No problem. I think we could pull together an article if need be. I think Ill be the one drafting it, and
Ill send it around for review to you, Joaquin, and others. And Mayor Johnson is aware that he is
moderating an education session, so no need for an email informing him of that.
Can you tell me what your recommendation is re: the journal article given all of the below info? Ill
try to discuss with him before he leaves for his flight in the next hour.

Hi Stephanie. The Secretary will outline the Administration?s Second Term priorities: early learning,
high school redesign, and college costs/completion, noting the link to the economy and workforce
development (i.e., why mayors should care and be more involved). And, his remarks will coordinate
with the working session.
Thanks,
Adam

Subject: NCBM Convention: Secretary Duncan's Remarks
Hi Adam,
I hope all is well. I just wanted to follow-up on the Secretary?s remarks at the NCBM convention on
Friday, May 31. Do you have a sense of what priorities will be addressed? As you are aware,
Kimberly provided the priorities that David Johns would like to discuss (noted below) in the
education working session that will occur immediately after the Secretary?s keynote. Will the
Secretary?s remarks coordinate with the working session?
I know we discussed in the past having the NCBM mayors discuss priorities with the Secretary?s
speech writers. However, Mayor Johnson would like to defer to your office so that the Secretary
may use this time to highlight any of the Administration?s priorities.
Enjoy your weekend.
Stephanie

David Johns Working Session Priorities:
? Early Learning
? College Affordability and Quality
? Raising Up the Teaching Profession
? Aligning Job Training and Education Programs with Workforce Demands
? Protecting Formula Programs for At-Risk Populations
? Building on the Momentum for Innovation and Reform

Hi Adam,
I hope you enjoyed a great weekend. I wanted to write a quick follow up from our call last week.
First off, Ive attached the 5 resolutions that we are submitting for consideration at this Junes
meeting. We will be obtaining co-sponsors for the resolutions up until the submission deadline
this Wednesday, May 22 so I will also send you the versions that we submit on Wednesday. The
College/Career Readiness resolution has just been drafted by Mayor Cabaldon, and for this reason
does not yet have co-sponsors listed.
As you know, I am also in the process of developing the briefing materials for the education sessions
at NCBM next week, so any materials that you can send me regarding the White House Initiative on
Educational Excellence for African Americans, as well as any briefing materials that you will be
providing to Secretary Duncan, are greatly appreciated. I will send Kim an email shortly copying
you regarding the session with David Johns. Hopefully she and I will be able to sync up soon as
well.
Thank you, Adam!
