Ms. Sheriff,
Below please find the responses to your questions:
NCBMAnnual 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.
- 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.
Can you provide any background documentation you have on theM.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.
- 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.

Hi Heather,

Thank you for your messages this afternoon regarding the NCBM Annual Convention and the

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!

Mariah,
Thanks. My recommendation would be to prepare an article that discusses the importance of
public/private partnerships in working to eliminate the achievement gap and improve the
quality of public education in our country. The Mayor can speak from experience with
respect to his work with Charter Schools, but also can discuss why ecucation touches every
area of society, including the private sector, as we need to educate and train the leaders of
tomorrow and a workforce able to compete in this global economy. Would be great to work
in all ed reform angles where possible.
Hope that is helpful.

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.

with Read Across America Day), and the current plan is to offer three types of programs mentoring

Also, as you are aware, Mrs. Williams is the Executive Director of the National Conference of Black Mayors - in reference to
the beginning of your email below. I understand that you have been trying to reach out to her but it is not uncommon for people
in leadership positions, like E.D. Williams and Mayor Johnson as you are probably aware, to delegate items for execution.
Therefore, please dont be surprised in this field to learn that your calls are not answered directly but are delegated out for
execution. Your calls and emails to E.D. Williams were received and in response I am now your contact. As reminder, please
extend to her the professional courtesy that would be extended to a person in such a leadership position in that it is not always
necessary for you to know her whereabouts just be advised that I will do what is needed to assist the Office of Mayor Johnson.

Wynona,
Thanks for taking my call earlier this morning. Its good to know that Vanessa is still in Africa,
because Ive been trying to reach her via email and cell and now I know why she wasnt responding!
It looks like you are still drafting the agenda for the September Board Retreat. As I mentioned in my
call, we would very much appreciate if the September 21 portion of the agenda began a little bit
later in the afternoon, around 4 or 5pm, because we are thinking about doing an education summit
for faith leaders (it would conclude by 3 or 4pm) and may want to invite some of the Board
Members to the event if possible.
Please let me know if this is possible, because we will confirm our summit in that case. I appreciate
your attention to this matter.

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 African-Americans 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?

Here are some possible dates/times for a phone call. Let me know if any of them work on your end.

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.

ahead and discuss with Stacey, then we can connect and confirm which group we?ll be prioritizing
for that call.
Glad that you got the invitation from NCBM. Thank you for letting us know. In regards to topics for

Duncan wants to highlight.

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,
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 3:304:30pm 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,

back to you.
Regarding the call with the coalition of black mayors, I will confirm whether April 4th at 3:30 will

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 Arne.Duncan@ed.gov, 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

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 29 th ? Sun., Jun 2nd . The conference will not extend
through Jun 3rd as noted below. Again, Fri., May 31 st 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.
Stephanie Mash, Director of Governmental Affairs for African Americans, who I mentioned in our
call on Wednesday & is cc?ed here, will be your primary point of contact for NCBM-related matters,
and will be in touch soon to follow up with you. She and I will be working closely together, along
with our colleague, Meera, who is also working on our national mobilization efforts.
As always, please reach out to any of us any time. I hope you both have a great weekend and we will

Mayor/Adrianne, thank you for the call yesterday. Per our discussion and your request, I have
attached the various emails and proposals between the NBRPA and NCBM. I look forward to your
future advice and hopefully eventually creating a partnership between our two organizations!
Mayor, I would also like to personally extend an invite for you to attend our Annual NBRPA
Conference 9/20-22 in Port St. Lucie, FL (Club Med-Sandpiper). It would be wonderful if you would
agree to be a keynote speaker!
Best wishes and again congrats on keeping the Kings in Sacramento! Arnie

Ms. Hall ?
Attached please find some documents alerting Ms. Williams to the debt; referencing promises to
pay or make a payment plan; or relating to other attempts to secure payment.
Since my firm got involved in this matter, we have never received a single dime towards payment of
this debt, other than the amounts we secured through garnishment. Ms. Williams has never
initiated a single communication with us about getting the debt resolved.

Good Morning Mayor Johnson,

Let me begin with congratulating you on your Presidency of both organizations. I am a
stakeholder and advocate for the betterment of the NCBM organization and would have been a
candidate for the Executive Director Position, that was filled by Vanessa. I was "informed" that
it would not be in my best interest by the then Sargent at Arms, Milton Tutwiler (deceased),
Mayor of Winstonville, MS.
I have attached a letter from Michelle Korouma, the ED that was fired so that Vanessa could be
hired, that shows the focused direction the NCBM was heading in. At that time, the Honorable
Mayor, Wellington Webb, Mayor of Denver, whose wife is from my home town of West Point,
MS., was President.Mayor Harvey Johnson, City of Jackson, was a supporter of Michelle and
facilitated a consulting agreement for her once the sentiment was for Vanessa. This sentiment
was led by Mayor Tutwiler and Mayor Grace of St. Gabriel, LA.
I was appointed to be Director for the City of Jackson's office of Economic Development in
Mayor Johnson's administration and volountarily left to go into the private sector, where we
brought Majic Johnson to Jackson at our facility, Mikhail's. Mayor Johnson introduced me at the
NCBM Winter Retreat for my presentation of the Economic Summit (a strategic implementation
plan). The concept was later adopted by the Board but never moved on due to the changing of
the Executive Director position leadership.
We are contacting you today to schedule a date and time for a short conference call for about 15
minutes at your convenience. The Mississippi Conference of Black Mayors, as you maybe already
aware, will be hosting its winter meeting conference next week in conjunction with the
Mississippi Municipal League.
To that end, I will serve as the Point of Contact (POC) for the coordination of the call. My
contact information is listed below.
Mayor Johnson, I also am a supporter of yours. If you will check your campaign mailing list you
will see from the onset my name. We look forward to speaking with you soon. All the best!

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 little over 2
million individuals ages 18-35 who are within 139-400% of the federal poverty level (aka
our target demographic). Is that accurate?
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.
Thanks,

White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Update

Welcome to the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs local update. In this week's
issue HHS Secretary Sebelius announces new grants to help consumers navigate the
Health Insurance Marketplace and HHS releases a toolkit for local officials on
implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the White House releases a new report on the
economic benefits of providing a path to earned citizenship, and the Council of Economic
Advisers and Department of Energy share new strategies to protect the nation's electric
grid.
Keep an eye on your inbox, check out the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs
Website and follow us on Twitter at @DavidAgnew44 for more information.
HHS Awards $67 Million to Help Consumers Navigate the Health

Insurance Marketplace
Today, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced $67
million in grant awards to 105 Navigators in Federally-facilitated and State Partnership
Marketplaces.
These Navigators will serve as an in-person resource for Americans who want additional
assistance in shopping for and enrolling in plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace this
fall. HHS also recognized more than 100 national organizations and businesses who have
volunteered to help Americans learn about and enroll in health care coverage.
This announcement builds upon the significant progress in outreach and education made
this summer. Consumers can learn about and enroll in coverage later this fall through
HealthCare.gov.
More than 1,200 community health centers across the country are available to help enroll
uninsured Americans in coverage, and a partnership with the Institute of Museum and
Library Services will help trusted local libraries be a resource for consumers who want to
understand their options. In addition, HHS has begun training other in person assistance
personnel, such as agents and brokers and certified application counselors.
Check out more information on the national organizations recognized as Champions of
Coverage and find the list of Navigator awardees atcms.gov.
New Outreach Toolkit for Local Officials on the Affordable Care Act
This week, HHS also released a toolkit for local
elected officials on how to help communities take
advantage of the new options in the Health
Insurance Marketplaces that open on October 1,
2013.
ACA Toolkit
The toolkit includes an overview of the

Affordable Care Act, a sample outreach and
enrollment plan that you can tailor for your
community, frequently asked questions and
answers, resources and information on training
sessions, contacts for HHS regional offices and
sample materials that can be used for
newsletters, social media and public events.
You can find the toolkit online at HHS and email
the HHS Office of Intergovernmental and
External Affairs at HHSIEA@hhs.govwith any
questions.
The Economic Benefits of Providing a Path to Earned Citizenship

On Tuesday, the White House released a report detailing the economic benefits of
providing a path to earned citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently
living and working in the U.S. shadow economy.
According to outside estimates, providing earned citizenship for these workers would
increase their wages and, over 10 years, boost U.S. GDP by $1.4 trillion, increase total
income for all Americans by $791 billion, generate $184 billion in additional state and
federal tax revenue from currently undocumented immigrants, and add about 2 million jobs
to the U.S. economy.
Read the full report and check out state by state reports on the broad economic impact of
immigration reform.
Protecting the Electric Grid from Increasingly Severe Weather

A new report from the White House Council of Economic Advisers and the Energy
Department evaluates the economic cost of power outages and calls for increased crosssector investment to make the electric grid more resilient in the face of increasingly severe
weather events due to climate change.
The costs of outages take various forms including lost output and wages, spoiled inventory,
delayed production, inconvenience and damage to the electric grid. Continued investment in
grid modernization and resilience will mitigate these costs over time saving the economy
billions of dollars and reducing the hardship experienced by millions of Americans when
extreme weather strikes.
The report identifies strategies for modernizing the grid to better prevent power outages,
including working with utilities to harden their infrastructure against wind and flood damage,
increasing overall robustness of the grid, and supporting implementation of 21st century
technologies that can quickly alert utilities when consumers experience a power outage.
These investments have begun to increase the resilience and reliability of the grid, but
more investment is needed to ensure the grid can continue to power the economy in the
face of severe weather. Learn more at smartgrid.gov.

Good afternoon, Mayors

I hope that you had the opportunity to listen to the President's State of the Union address last
night. An official NCBM statement in response to his message will be issued tomorrow. We would
like this statement to be accompanied by feedback on his address from as many member mayors as
possible (in addition to the mayoral responses submitted to us for Politic365). Please send a reply
email with your comment by 10am (EST) tomorrow, Thursday, January 27.
Here are the responses from your fellow mayors that we received for submission to Politic365:
Mayor Shirley Gibson

Miami Gardens, Florida
Listening to President Obama's State of the Union address to our country, I was very impressed with the
fact that he was very direct in his focus on where we are in this country in reference to our economy,
educational system, and our commitment and responsibility as elected officials, business people and
citizens. I was most impressed that he has given us a vision for the future. He directed our focus on
investments that would keep us competitive, in particular having an educated populace beyond high
school.We have to be willing to support this vision with resources, be willing to become more innovative,
and embrace where the new technologies lie as it relates to the environment and energy sources, which is
where the jobs are. I also appreciated the fact that he highlighted several small businesses that are
successful in spite of this economy because they are innovative and have ingenuity. Overall, I thought the
President was very forceful and on point. I believe that we can move forward with a united Congress, and
with citizens understanding our roles.
Mayor Tony Mack

Trenton, New Jersey
President Barack Obama spoke directly to the hearts, minds, and issues presently facing Trenton, New
Jersey and the critical next steps of our nation as we stand united together for economic revival. Trenton
needs an immediate restoration in education, job creation, economic development, consolidation of
government functions and shared service partnerships with our neighboring communities. Trenton?s
teachers are relentless ?nation builders,? producing the next generation of American leaders locally,
regionally, and nationally. We are enthusiastic and inspired by President Obama?s State of the Union
Address. The City of Trenton will follow the President?s directive to ?move forward together or not at all.
Mayor Setti Warren

Newton, Massachusetts
President Obama delivered a clear and strong message tonight. As a Mayor in these difficult economic
times, I applaud the President's commitment to eliminating waste, embracing the use of technology to
make government more efficient, and making smart investments in our future.
Mayor Jay Williams

Youngstown, Ohio
The President's State of the Union address was masterful in content, tone, and delivery. I sense a renewed
optimism and inspiration over the course of the next two years and I am eager to help advance the agenda
that President Obama has laid out for this country. The State of our Union is strong!
Mayor Henderson Yarbrough

Maywood, Illinois
Last night President Barack Obama showed leadership, wisdom and compassion in delivering the annual
State of the Union address. Like we mayors do in our communities, he articulatedhis priorities but also
the need for financial restraint. He clearly laid out America's challenges and obstacles but forcefully
reminded usof the strength and vitality of our democracy. Finally, he urged all Democrats and
Republicans to place the good of the country ahead of the next election and unify in behalf of policies that
make life better for all of our residents.

Good morning Honorable Mayor,
NCBM has developed a strategic partnership with the Advisory Councils Subcommittee for the
Underserved and Community Empowerment, now chaired by Mr. John Bryant of Operation Hope. The
new subcommittee offers our municipalities assistance in creating local Financial Literacy Council,
serving as a local one-stop-shop for financial dignity, financial capability and empowerment, for youth,
consumers and businesses. As a result of this partnership, NCBMs leadership and mayoral members
are forming local Financial Literacy Councils and will be participating in the Operation Hope, Global
Financial Dignity Summit schedled to be held on November 14th and 15th, 2012 at the Georgia
International Convention Center in Atlanta, GA. Please see attached for an invitation letter with details.
Yours in Service,
