Job Title/ Duties: Field not completed. Please list your experience, I received my degree in theatre from Truman University and my skills and or education that MFA in Directing for Theatre from the University of Iowa. My have prepared you for experience covers all three levels of the arts: professional, service on this educational and community. Pease note that the following is board/commission: highly selective. Professionally I have directed and acted for The Ice House Theatre, Old Creamery Theatre, Timber Lake Playhouse, and Five Flags Theatre Company, among others. This experience also includes two years as the Production Stage Manager for Jack Daniels Original Silver Cornet Band as we toured the U.S. in a variety of venues; from being on CBS as we played in New York's Central Park to performing at the Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee; and performing Mark Twain for various events, conventions and on the Delta Queen. Within education I have taught theatre at the grade school, high school and college levels. This includes teaching in the talented and gifted program for East Dubuque schools, directing for Western Dubuque High School, teaching and directing at Divine Word College and Grand View College in Des Moines, and eighteen years as Director of Theatre at Loras College. In the community arena I and my wife formed Fly -By -Night Productions in 1982 and the company will soon enter its 40th season, having staged over 70 productions while I served as Artistic Director — that number is now over 140 productions. At the current time I am still actively involved with the company and serve on the Board of Directors. I have also worked for other community groups such as the Grand Opera House, The Fine Arts Players, Trainwreck Productions and Main Street Players. I have also conducted many workshops at the educational and community levels. For example, I conducted a workshop on creativity for the Loras College faculty, a workshop on producing live radio plays for the Iowa Community Theater Association state convention and a workshop on using theatre to present history for the Iowa Library Association State Convention. Through the years I and my wife have received the Alisa Darling Award for Contributions to the Cultural Life of Dubuque, a 365 Impact Award and during the cities' Sesquicentennial celebration in 1995 were included in a traveling display titled Dubuque Gallery of Artists based on the city's 50 most influential artists throughout its history. Honor organizations I belong to are Alpha Psi Omega (honor society for theatre artists) and Delta Epsilon Sigma (honor society for teaching professionals). Professional organizations I belong to are; Mid -America Theatre Conference, Theatre Communication Group, and the Society of American Fight Directors. What contributions can you Just before the pandemic ran over us all I retired from Loras make or state reason for College and now I desire to use my time to serve my applying? community, specifically the arts community. Since I came to Dubuque in 1979, 1 have seen and experienced tremendous growth in the arts at the local level. My wish is to help continue and expand on that growth. Over time I have worked with many of the art groups in town; including The Dubuque Museum of Art, The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, The Julien Dubuque International Film Festival, The Dubuque Symphony, The Grand Opera House, The Fine Arts Players, The Dubuque Historical Society, and many others, which obviously includes Fly -By -Night Productions. For me it has been about collaboration between the different artistic groups, different individual artists and myself. Theatre is based on collaboration, where a community of different artists come together to create an event with a single cohesive vision. Theatre is an environment where a variety of ideas, opinions and life experiences are welcomed; even when they differ from one another — at some point you have to come together, you have to work together and reach an agreement about the artistic vision for the good of the production. In addition to my experience, I believe collaboration is a strength I will bring to the commission. I hope to further develop this collaboration in order to spur future growth within the varied arts organization and in the individual artists active in our community. My goal is to help the arts to continue to move forward. Describe your experience It begins in high school where my classmates and circle of working in diverse close friends at Westwood High School (Mesa, Arizona) were a environments: very diverse group in terms of race, color and nationality, especially in the Arts community. But this type of environment really exploded for me when I attended graduate school at the University of Iowa. My first -year teaching assistantship was to serve as the technical director for, what was then on campus called, the Black Action Theatre Company — yes, at the time this program was separate from the main stage productions; even being staged in the old armory and not on the main stage. So, I spent my first year in this environment working almost totally with people of color. It was a year of growing, a year of making some really close friends and a year of discovering new theatre. I would say that during the second semester I got one of the highest compliments I have ever gotten when members of the company asked me to direct one of their shows. I became the first Caucasian to direct a production when I staged Sister Son/ji. This then led to a change in how I cast future productions. For example, when I directed So Far From China, a play about a small family farm outside China, Kentucky; I cast the four family members based solely on talent. Therefore, the family was composed of two white actors, a black actor and a Latino actor. This viewpoint and philosophy continued when I moved to Dubuque. One of the first plays Fly - By -Night produced was an original script titled In the Matter of Ralph, a Black Man; the script told the stories of Ralph, a slave from Missouri who had come to Dubuque to earn his freedom, and Nat Morgan, the subject of current efforts to establish a memorial in town. Back in 1987 for many individuals in Dubuque this was the first time they became familiar with their stories. To this day Fly -By -Night continues to work to give voice to marginalized communities with many of our productions, but work still needs to be done in this area as we continue to work to build community. At Loras College I worked to increase the involvement of minority students in the theatre program and I believe I was highly successful in making LGBTQ+ students feel they had a safe creative home in the theatre. I also make a personal effort to engage a diverse community of artists by attending art events throughout the city, many involving minority artists and partaking in the Creative Cafes that have recently been started. But when we talk about diverse communities, we sometimes leave some communities out of the conversation. Recently I have begun to explore how to make play performances more accessible to the deaf and blind communities. In the first case finding a qualified ASL interpreter has proved challenging. Signing a play performance is very difficult and takes one to two interpreters with specialized skills. Local availability and cost are also factors. But I want to see if there is any possibility of at least having one or two performances signed; and eventually expanded to other art events; opening them to a new audience. The second group would be the blind. My thoughts here are based on my time at the Ice House Theatre where the following process was implemented. It starts with private time on stage when they are allowed to explore and feel the set so as to form a mental image of the play's environment. Next you do a sounding. The blind individual sits in their assigned seats in the house as another individual walks the stage announcing where they are on the set. In this manner, as audience, they learn to "see" where each character is by where their voice is being projected from on stage. Lastly, you make arrangements for them to hear what each character sounds like so they may recognize them by the sound of their voice. I am not sure if there is an audience for this in Dubuque but, it is a way of opening the Arts to other communities we don't often think about. Describe your experience Theatre covers a wide range of topics and subjects, far too engaging other community many for any one person to be an expert in all of them. So, as members to gather their a director, you are often seeking outside advice, input, input and opinions: information, and feedback. The following examples are once again highly selective. When I directed, I Never Saw Another Butterfly I brought in a historian to make sure I was accurate in depicting World War II concentration camps and to answer questions from the cast and crew. I also contacted the local synagogue so someone again could make sure we understood their beliefs and ceremonies correctly; and that we were not doing anything that might offend a member of their religion. This led to what I believe was a meaningful and important change to the script. In one section there was a prayer said in English, but we were informed that that would never be done, that the prayer would only be said in Hebrew. So, she taught us the prayer in Hebrew, and it became one of the more moving moments in the play. And also proved to be a valuable lesson to my students. When I staged a production of JB, a play based on the book of Job from the Bible I had a group of religious leaders I would often discuss the play with as I began to form my interpretation and vision for the script. In performance we had a talk back for the audience where we brought these individuals to discuss their perspectives on the story; bringing us (performers and audience) closer to understanding each other. We also had on display in the lobby a large painting a local artist had created based on the book of Job and he was at the talk back to give his artistic — and I note atheist — viewpoint. But the most common dialogue I have in modern theatre centers on the use of historical language and/or imagery. cannot count the number of times I have contacted someone whose experience or background are different from mine to get their reaction to the use of specific language, or imagery, in a play. Together we look at who is saying it, why it is being said and does the idea being expressed carry enough meaning to outweigh the effect of the language being used. As an example, there is always the question, if I change the language of a racist so as not to offend someone, do I make the racist more acceptable by make them less offensive? I would note that this is the same struggle our local school board is currently experiencing. At this point I can say I have always leaned to the point -of -view put forth by the person whose advice I seek, for it is not up to me to tell them how they should feel about, or react to, such language that has negative meanings within their personal heritage.

My skills and or education that background includes government and regulatory compliance, have prepared you for logistics, operations management, customer service and service on this strategic planning. I worked at the library for five and a half board/commission: years as assistant to the circulation manager. It gave me more insight on how the library works from purchasing of a book to policies we adapt in order to stay compliant. I've worked with people and currently an advocate for the community. What contributions can you My contributions to the Library Board of Trustees will be: 1. make or state reason for networking and community advocate. I believe being I can help applying? build a bridge between literary resources and the underserved community 2. 1 have lived in the under served community and can see the disparities and differences between cultural classes of people. Children are very impressionable, having access to programs at the library is quite important for their development and intelligence. Participating in library programs and visiting the library helps form a child's mind for future success. 3. My experience at the library helps. 4. My use of the library and spreading the word of what's happening at the library is a plus. As I said before, I am a master networker and using my networking and people skills could be one of my best contributions. Describe your experience I've worked in various communities all of my life. Being a Black working in diverse woman in corporate America has helped me be more environments: conscious of adversity and how can we have a voice without being radical. I've learned that empathy is a two way street. When people from less than perfect socioeconomic backgrounds feel like their are at a disadvantage, they shut down. Being able to hear them without judging goes a long way. Growing up middle class had me shielded from poverty and I used to judge people that had less than I, so when I got into situational poverty, my life changed and my empathy shifted into how resources are limited. When those variables are into play, using public services isn't a priority nor is it known that people can have access. My experience basically taught me, you never know someone's story until you take time out to hear them. Describe your experience I love to hear other opinions and experiences. Being that I am a engaging other community g year Dubuquer, I am still learning, therefore I have many members to gather their questions as well as input of my experience as a newer native. input and opinions: I have had people that listen to me, and I have had people yell at me.

Job Title/ Duties: manage logistics, home, and children! Please list your experience, When I was 20 years old, I found myself single and pregnant. skills and or education that As a homeschooler coming from a low-income family, I felt my have prepared you for only option was to find a job and provide for my daughter. After service on this several years of working an entry-level, dead-end job (and with board/commission: a lot of encouragement from my co-workers) I took my first class at NICC. There, I earned my first legitimate "A", which led me to earn a degree in English literature with a Spanish minor at Loras College. My goal with those degrees was an attempt to expand my perspective — both on myself and the world around me. I was able to do that even more, as my first real job out of college was at Kendall Hunt Publishing. There, I found myself traveling and working everywhere from Bronx, NYC, to Brigham Young University in Salt Lake. The diversity I was exposed to was staggering. It opened up my entire world. Wanting to expand and push myself, I took advantage of Kendall Hunt's tuition reimbursement program and was a part of the first cohort of their MBA — Data Analytics degree. My daughter was in 5th grade at this point, and I wanted to create more opportunities for our future — I felt an MBA would be a nice round out combined with my liberal arts background. From there, I took a position as a Benefits Account Manager at Cottingham and Butler, where I learned even more about data and analytics than I had in my college program. FEI What I found? My journey has led me to a place where I'm able to meaningfully contribute to my community. What contributions can you I am a white, middle-class, privileged woman. There are certain make or state reason for human experiences I will never truly understand as I've never applying? experienced them. However, I do understand being poor. I do understand issues of child care, and being a single parent. I do understand pushing to get a college degree as a first - generation college graduate. My training is all about analyzing things from a different perspective - both from what I studied in English as well as Data. And in order to analyze, you need to both really see and really listen - and I am great at doing both. I have the educational background, the heart, and the life experience to be a great contributor to the commission. Describe your experience Throughout my working experience, I've worked in fast food, working in diverse gas stations, factories, restaurants, marinas, accounting firms, environments: publishing, and insurance. With (academic) publishing specifically, I spent 2-4 weeks annually in the New Jersey/NYC area, where I traveled to schools such as Bronx Community College, meeting with professors with ethnic backgrounds ranging from Egyptian to Indian to being born and raised in the Bronx. I spent another 2-4 weeks annually working in the west in places such as Utah and Montana, where I worked heavily with the Mormon community. My two brothers as well as my two stepchildren are also part of the LGBTQ community. With them, I rally for continued education and acceptance in our community. Describe your experience My husband has always kept up on local politics - he's gotten engaging other community the TH for years, and he understands Dubuque on a level I'm members to gather their just now starting to grasp. As I started diving into the issues of input and opinions: our community with him, I've learned a lot - I've learned how low voter turnout is for local elections. I've learned that affordable housing and child care are still as limited as they were 10 years ago, when I was a single mother. I've learned that many still don't understand inclusivity - it's not just donating money, but bringing those who are "other" into your immediate circle. As my awareness of these topics has increased, so have the conversations regarding these topics with my neighbors, friends, and family. What I've found is many people either don't have the time or don't create the time to think on these topics. Change starts with conversations about tough subjects with the people in your own circle - if we all start tackling the hard stuff with those in our immediate surroundings, we will generate change.

I grew up in Dubuque and I know make or state reason for how great our community is, I also know how we as a applying? community can be more inclusive. As a future school counselor in the Dubuque Community School District, I will have the ability to reach many of our students and families in Dubuque. Equity and Human Rights is important to instill at even the earliest of ages and I am most looking forward to making in impact at school. Everyone should feel safe and comfortable in their own skin. I am an ally for those in marginalized groups. I also have a B.S. in food and nutrition and have a passion for combating food insecurity in the Dubuque community. I have volunteered at many food drives and food delivery sites in Dubuque. Describe your experience Growing up in Dubuque, I honestly was not exposed to many working in diverse diverse environments. Going to Iowa State University gave me environments: my first real experience with diverse cultures and backgrounds. I was no longer in classrooms made up of a majority of white classmates. I was also naive when meeting peers and classmates from other religious backgrounds that were not Catholic. This was great expose for me and was a stepping stone into realizing my own unintentional biases and beginning of my journey to learn more about diverse populations. As a graduate student at Loras I took a culture and diversity class which included local speakers from Dubuque community. These speakers offered a glimpse in the life of Black lives in Dubuque, LGBTQ, Marshallese, immigrants, and the working poor in Dubuque. As a dietitian at Mercy, I would often be consulted on Marshallese patients due to their diabetic history. Many understood and spoke little to no English, but fortunately we were able to translate with younger family members or through a language line app. I'm familiar with the upsetting history the US has with the Marshallese population and I'm familiar with many values and the culture of the Marshallese. Describe your experience Growing up in Dubuque, I have many connections personally engaging other community and professionally in Dubuque. As a future school counselor in members to gather their Dubuque, this will also allow me to gather input and opinions input and opinions: from members of the academic community.

All appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of the state established by the Code, if not otherwise provided by law, shall be gender balanced. No person shall be appointed or reappointed to any board, commission, committee, or council established by the Code if that appointment or reappointment would cause the number of members of the board, commission, committee, or council of one gender to be greater than one-half the membership of the board, commission, committee, or council plus one if the board, commission, committee, or council is composed of an odd number of members. If the board, commission, committee, or council is composed of an even number of members, not more than one-half of the membership shall be of one gender. If there are multiple appointing authorities for a board, commission, committee, or council, they shall consult each other to avoid a violation of this section. 2. All appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of a political subdivision of the state that are established by the Code, if not otherwise provided by law, shall be gender balanced as provided by subsection 1 unless the political subdivision has made a good faith effort to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy on a board, commission, committee, or council in compliance with subsection 1 for a period of three months but has been unable to make a compliant appointment. In complying with the requirements of this subsection, political subdivisions shall utilize a fair and unbiased method of selecting the best qualified applicants. This subsection shall not prohibit an individual whose term expires prior to January 1, 2012, from being reappointed even though the reappointment continues an inequity in gender balance. 86 Acts, ch 1245, §2041; 87 Acts, ch 218, §8; 88 Acts, ch 1150, §1; 2009 Acts, ch 162, §1, 2 Referred to in §8D.3, 15E102, 15H.3, 23.3, 28A.7, 35A.2, 80.28, 84A.1A, 84A.4, 135.43, 135.109, 142A.3, 148.2A, 155A.2A, 159A.13, 216A.12, 216A.92A, 216A.132, 216A.162, 217.43, 235B.1, 252B.22, 256.5A, 256.35A, 272.3, 273.15, 284.15, 303A.5, 314.22, 418.5, 455A.20, 455B.150, 514E.2, 542.4, 904A.2A Tue Nov 24 21:20:54 2020 Iowa Code 2021, Section 69.16A (14, 0) Q: What are the new requirements for gender balance on city boards and commissions? A: During the 20091egislative session, legislation (HF243) was passed that extends to cities and counties gender balance require- ment for all appointive boards, commissions, committees and councils created by the Iowa code. In other words, bodies cities are required to have under Iowa code when they provide certain functions or services, such as the planning and zoning commission, library boards and the board of adjustment, with appointed (not elected) members, must be gender balanced. Q: What does `gender balanced' mean? A: Gender balance means if the body has an even number of ap- pointees, it must be evenly made up of men and women. For exam- ple, three women and three men must serve on a six member board. If the body has an odd number of appointees, it must be "one half plus one" of either gender. For instance, if there are five members, three could be men and the other two women, or vice versa. Q: When do the changes go into effect? A: Cities must have gender balanced boards, commissions, com- mittees and councils by January 1, 2012. This does not prohibit an individual whose term expires prior to January 1, 2012, from being reappointed even though the reappointment continues an inequity in gender balance; however, cities should start planning upcoming appointments now, to ensure gender balance is reached by that date. Making a chart of existing boards and upcoming vacancies, and/ or keeping track of current appointments and necessary recruit- ing periods would be a good start to ensuring your city is tracking gender balance, and is prepared for the January 1, 2012 implementa- tion date. Q: Is there any option if my city simply cannot find a person to serve on the board or commission of the needed gender? A: Yes. Under the new code section, cities that make a good faith effort to find a qualified person of the necessary gender to fill the position for a period of three months and are unable to do so may appoint a person to the position regardless of the gender balance requirement. Q: What constitutes a "good faith effort"? A: There is no hard and fast definition, but cities should be able to demonstrate a legitimate effort during the three month time period to recruit qualified members of the necessary gender, before appointing a member that creates gender imbalance. In addition, the legislation requires that cities must always "utilize a fair and unbiased method of selecting the best qualified applicants," regard- less of gender. Q: Is there a reporting requirement? A: No. The legislation did not include a reporting requirement; however, many cities keep information on their boards and commissions —including current members- posted online, to better inform citizens of the makeup of local governing bodies. Q: How can I recruit more women or men to volunteer for these positions? A: The Commission on the Status of Women has prepared a guide to help cities learn how to recruit gender balanced boards and com- missions. This resource can be found at www.women.iowa.gov/ whats_new/index.html. The Commission also prepared a guide called the "Five Step Guide to City and County Boards and How to Get Appointed" to be used as a tool by interested women to learn more about how to get involved in city boards and commissions.
