I agree with Anne/Risker. I've gone ahead and thrown my hat in the ring for the Grants Advisory Committee. My background includes expertise with both applying for and approving grants.
In my work with nonprofit corporations, I have been responsible for assessing programmatic needs; researching and applying for grants, including the State's Community Development Block Grant; distributing funds; ensuring compliance with regulations; setting measurable goals and maintaining accurate records, and remaining accountable to the individuals and organizations that provided the funding. In my work with community foundations, I have been responsible for establishing the funding process, guidelines, and timetable; setting criteria for eligibility; reviewing and approving or denying applications; and monitoring grant recipients to ensure compliance with programmatic goals and requirements stipulated in the grant. My work with state government included serving as a Mental Health Commissioner and member of the Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council. It was our responsibility to serve as advisors to establish the State and Division Strategic Plan, assess public and program needs within the state and the Health and Human Services Division, then apply for the Federal Community Development Block Grant. I was personally responsible for compiling all data provided by other council members, then writing the grant. Once the CDBG was approved, allocation was administered by the State. Local governments and communities applied for grant allocation from the CDBG to carry out community development activities. The Advisory Council developed funding priorities and established criteria for approving grant recipients. When grant applications were received, we reviewed the applications and recommended funding allocation based on local government programs and their alignment with the State and Division Strategic Plan and legislative budget. Our recommendations were received by the Division Secretary (head of the division), the governor's policy council, and the governor. In recognition of my work as Mental Health Commissioner, member of the Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council, Transformation Work Group, and the Program and Planning Subcommittee, I was publicly honored by Governor Christine Gregoire for "Outstanding Service to the State of Washington". I'm not sure that I'm one of the better known individuals applying for the GAC, but I believe that my professional background will be an asset to the committee. We'll see what happens.
