Background Launched in 2013, Inclusive Dubuque is a local network of leaders from faith, labor, education, business, nonprofit, and government dedicated to advancing justice and social equity in our community. The network began informally in early 2012 with less than a dozen community organizations and businesses beginning a conversation about the need for a collaborative effort around inclusion and equity in Dubuque. Today, the network consists of over 60 organizations and individual community members. Network members are focused on deepening their understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion and taking action to advance equity and inclusion in the community. An equitable and inclusive community is necessary if we are to meet our city's economic and cultural needs, as outlined in the City Council's goals and priorities. Partners within the network come together around a common agenda of advancing equity in our community and each contribute what they do best in the form of mutually reinforcing activities. Inclusive Dubuque Network —Accomplishments since September: Since our last work session with City Council in September, network partners have accomplished the following: • The Peer Learning Council has completed five months of 2018-2019 Best Practices workshops. The forty participants in this year's series are from corporate, academic, governmental, and non-profit organizations, including some City Departments and partners who receive funding through Arts grants and our purchased and contracted services. • The Housing & Neighborhoods Sector Group led by Tom LoGuidice (NAACP member) and Tom Smith (property owner) has been focusing recently on the Housing Choice Voucher program and developed a series of draft recommendations related to resident and housing provider education. In December, the group shared these initial recommendations and obtained feedback from network partners and other impacted community organizations. • The Business Equity Leader Cohort has launched and held its initial meeting. This group consists of CEOs, Presidents and other C-Ievel representatives of major businesses in the community. The group will meet quarterly to better understand the influential role that they play in promoting inclusion and diversity within their organizations and our broader community. • Quarterly meetings of the full network were held in September and December. These meetings provide an opportunity for partners to share ideas, review recent community activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and offer an opportunity for ongoing networking among the group's members. • The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque updated the Inclusive Dubuque Coordinator position description to align with current activities and has filled the new position of Equity Coordinator. Collins Eboh started in the position this month. The new Equity Coordinator will be responsible for: o supporting the Inclusive Dubuque Network; o supporting the Business Equity Leader Cohort; o coordinating training programs such as Best Practices in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Race Forward's Racial Equity Training for non -profits; o managing grants with an equity component; o managing communications around equity; o partnering with CFGD staff to conduct collective impact equity work such as the Campaign for Grade Level Reading, Project H.O.P.E., and work on community mental health needs. At the City Council Work Session on January 28, the following network partners will present additional information on their institutional and community efforts to advance equity and to contribute towards an inclusive community: • The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque will provide an update on the equity coordinator's work, including an overview of the new Business Leader Equity Cohort; • Mercy Medical Center will provide an overview of the diversity and inclusion initiatives and workshops within their institution; • Travel Dubuque will describe how they have infused inclusion considerations into the development of their 2019 Travel Guide; • City of Dubuque staff will provide an overview of local data regarding social determinants of health and how we applied an equity lens when establishing a structure for the Bee Branch Healthy Homes Initiative. 2 City of Dubuque as a Network Partner — Accomplishments since September: The City has established the following organization -wide equity goals: • Goal #1: Advance equity through workforce recruitment and retention efforts • Goal #2: Advance equity through grant, contract, and purchased services agreements • Goal #3: Advance equity through service delivery and community engagement • Goal #4: Advance equity through collective impact partnerships. Since September, the following has been accomplished: • Equity Team members assisted in recruitment and hiring for the Strategic Workforce Equity Coordinator position and the Community Engagement Coordinator position. • The Facilitation Team completed workshops for City staff in October and November, is planning a four-day equity workshop this spring for staff and community partners, and is working with Human Rights Department staff to develop a tiered training structure with different focuses for entry, supervisory, and department manager levels. • The Recruitment and Retention Team has developed a City workforce data baseline and guidelines for exit interviews for the Strategic Workforce Equity Coordinator. • The Cash Out Team made a series of recommendations to the City Manager regarding contracted services end of year reports; implemented quarterly reports for 2019; and is in the process of meeting with partners to discuss community level indicators and program performance measures for 2020 contracts. • The following departments have developed equity plans: Police, Leisure Services, Human Rights, Planning Services, Public Works, Housing. Library, Fire, and Transit continue to work on their plans this year. The Information Services, Public Information, and Engineering departments have begun to develop a department level team and are completing a self-assessment. At the City Council Work Session on January 28, City staff will provide an overview of local data regarding social determinants of health and how we applied an equity lens when establishing a structure for the Bee Branch Healthy Homes Initiative.
