FROM: Zayneb Shaikley
RE: Biweekly Report
DATE: June 24, 2013

Mr. President, Madam Secretary, and Chelsea:
Below are the latest updates from the Clinton Foundation’s initiatives and related programs. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
Alliance for a Healthier Generation (Alliance)

ï‚· The Healthy Schools Program will recognize 267 schools for the 2012-13 school year: 226 schools are Bronze, 40 are Silver, and 1 is Gold. We are tentatively planning to hold the Healthy Schools Program Forum in late September in Little Rock.

ï‚· A large scale evaluation of the Healthy Schools Program was approved for implementation by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the JPB Foundation. The evaluation will commence in 2014 and will be conducted by Westat.

ï‚· The Alliance has been contracted by PKF Consulting, Inc. and the Department of Defense (DOD) to be the school and out of school time assessment partner for the DOD Healthy Base Initiative. The Alliance will visit eight army/air force bases in the US, Hawaii, and Japan to conduct detailed inventories and evaluations of current policies and procedures. The Alliance hopes this investment will lead to a deeper relationship with the DOD as an implementation partner.

 The Alliance’s Healthy Out-of-School Time vice president represented the national Healthy Out-of-School Time Coalition leadership team and presented the Coalition’s origins and progress at the bi-annual Healthy Communities Roundtable (sponsored by the YMCA of the USA) this week.

 Alliance Healthy Schools Program and Healthy Out-of-School Time content advisors facilitated two workshops at the recent combined Pioneering Healthier Communities and REACH (Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health) Conferences, positioning the Alliance’s work as a resource to 14 new statewide, place-based efforts funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

ï‚· The Alliance launched a microsite to promote Team Healthier Generation and its endurance training and fundraising program. Currently, we are actively recruiting team members for the ING New York City Marathon. Visit www.teamhealthiergeneration.org for more information.

Building Retrofit Program (BRP)
 In BRP and Palomar Health Facilities, the largest non-profit public health care district in the state of California, formally signed an MOU to develop an energy efficiency building retrofit program that will create real and measurable results in the reduction of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions across the portfolio of Palomar Health facilities. The collaborative partnership will include developing the programmatic strategy for an energy efficiency roadmap including procuring, financing and implementing portfolio-wide energy efficiency improvements. BRP and Palomar are mutually committed to creating an energy efficiency building retrofit program that will achieve measurable results by reducing energy use, decreasing utility bills, increasing building performance and substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions across Palomar’s portfolio of healthcare facilities.

Replication Update:

 Wisconsin: Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation (WECC) conducted its second HEAL enrollment event for employees of Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) in Milwaukee. WECC has a goal of enrolling a minimum of 200 JCI employees in its pilot HEAL program, and after this most recent enrollment event—which yielded 100% sign-up—has reached 20% of its goal. The pilot program launched on April 30, and is scheduled to end in early October, with a possible second phase to follow.

 Michigan: CCI HEAL will be traveling to Michigan the week of June 24 to facilitate a commercial audit for Zingerman’s, Inc. Along with the City of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, Zingerman’s has committed to participating in a pilot HEAL program directed by the Clean Energy Coalition (CEC), CCI HEAL’s Michigan replication partner. CCI HEAL is in the process of finalizing its Replication Partner Agreement (RPA) with CEC, and hopes to have signed agreement in place by or before June 24. The commercial audit for Zingerman’s will represent the first step of the pilot.
Other Updates

ï‚· On June 12-14, CCI HEAL attended the residential sessions for CGI America in Chicago, as well as the Sustainable Cities Academy (SCA) conference in Fayetteville, AR.
