SPECIMEN 13 ATTACHMENT C AC US," L dubuque Connecting People • Strengthening Community Inclusive Dubuque A local network of community leaders from faith, labor, education and government organizations dedicated to advancing justice and social equity in our community. 0 What is Inclusive Dubuque? Inclusive Dubuque is a peer -learning network of partners committed to creating an informed, equitable and inclusive community where all people are respected, valued and engaged. The network is comprised of more than 50 organizations across sectors including faith, government, nonprofit, business, education and more. To see a complete listing of organizations, visit www.inclusivecibq.org. The Inclusive Dubuque network works collaboratively to eliminate bias in our community. While this goal would be difficult for a single organization or individual to achieve, each network member can contribute to an effective outcome by: providing data and information to inform decisions supporting equity education opportunities creating and sharing equity tools These goals are accomplished by supporting partner -led sector groups and peer -learning opportunities. Sector Groups Community and network members lead these groups to address bias within the seven focus areas of the equity profile. Sector groups are supported by a data team and guided by the expertise and lived experience of their members; data to learn and track their progress; and the use of a raciallso.cial equity fens to help guide decision -making. Peer -Learning Inclusive Dubuque offers peer -learning opportunities — including education, training and resources — to network partners to improve personal and organizational understanding of all types of bias and promote racial and social equity. Community Mobilization and Planning @ Chamber Diversity Summit 15 Cityjoins Government Alliance on Race b Equity (GARE) I'm a Dubuquer Campaign Winner of a 2017-18 Dubuque Silver ADDY Award and a 2018 Dubuque 365 Community Impact Award, the "I'm a Dubuquer" campaign was part of a local partnership between the Network and the Telegraph Herald to redefine a term deeply embedded in the Dubuque community from something used to draw a line between insiders and outsiders into one that welcomes all who call Dubuque home. Learn more about the campaign at www.imadubuquer.com. Best Practices Last year, the Network launched "Best Practices in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion," a nine -month, peer -learning work -shop series. Organized by the network's Peer -Learning Council (PLC), the series gives participants the opportunity to learn about and engage in best practices for diversity, equity and inclusion. Sessions took place on a monthly basis and cover such topics as leading organizations through change, meeting organizational goals, communication, and recruitment strategies. The series will wrap up in June with presentations by participants demonstrating how they will apply the skills they have learned to support their organizations' equity and inclusion goals. Sector groups learn Community Equity July: NICC expands minority outreach Results -Based Restorative Strategies June: I'm a Dubuquer Profile begins Aug: GDDC Implements Entrepreneur Strategy Accountability peer -learning session Oct: Best Practices begins Network workshop Sept: Chamber launches Minority Business Council Develop Racial Best Practices with author Oct: Community Equity Profile complete Equity Toolkit (continued) Madeleine Taylor Nov: Sector groups form around Equity Profile priorities 16 The Network at Work Network and community members have joined partner -led working groups to address new challenges and bring the racial/social equity lens to existing programs and efforts in education, arts and culture and our neighborhoods. These groups work to identify priorities, measurable indicators and partners and programs that can be engaged to affect change. Sector groups are utilizing a process called Results -Based Accountability in an effort to better understand how we can track our progress. Since December 2015, more than 90 people have joined sector groups and that number continues to grow as members identify voices missing from the conversation. In addition to participating in sector groups and Best Practices, network partners are already taking steps in their own organization. These network -owned actions help contribute to creating an equitable and inclusive community where all people feel respected, valued and engaged. Here are just a few of the ways our "network is at work"- . Economic Wellbeing: Northeast Iowa Community College and Greater Dubuque Development Corporation have implemented an outreach strategy to engage minority community members in Opportunity Dubuque, Business: The Dubuque Chamber of Commerce has created a Minority Business Council with a mission to guide minority and under -represented business owners toward local resources. • Education: The Dubuque Community School District is disaggregating data regarding Grade -Level Reading, attendance and graduation rates to help improve out- comes for all students. • Higher Education: Loras College has implemented cultural competency training as part of the Honors Student Program curriculum. Government: The City of Dubuque has joined the Government Alliance on Race and Equity and is implementing a racial equity toolkit. • Health: Mercy Medical Center, Crescent Community Health Center, University of Dubuque, Dubuque's Human Rights Department, and others are increasing healthcare access for the Marshallese population through a community health program that helps remove barriers to care. TO LEARN MORE AND FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED, VISIT WWW.INCLUSIVEDBO.ORG INCLUSIVE C1ubugLIe Connecting People • Strengthening Community Inclusive Dubuque is facilitated by the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque. 17 W., THE Cr" of L) � Masterpieceon the Mississippi The City of Dubuque's team of Intercultural Facilitators offers two learning and development workshops for City employees and partner organizations: A 10.5 hour foundations workshop that is designed for individual development and focuses on raising awareness, fostering improved understanding, and providing tools that can be used to build individual skill at navigating differences. A 32 hour application workshop that is designed for teams who are interested in developing a plan for advancing equity and inclusion goals within their team or organization. Both workshops are grounded in an intercultural approach that is evidence informed and developmental. It is important to understand what our training is and is not: • First, the intercultural approach acknowledges race and racial issues but does not limit its focus to these issues. Rather, the focus is on culture as a broad concept that encompasses all people, and on the various aspects of cultural and social identities that may make a difference when we are interacting with one another. • Second, the goal is not to change beliefs or belief systems. The goal is to build skills so that people are effective interacting across cultural differences. • Third, the focus is on a broad set of skills that can be applied across cultures to improve communication and understanding. The training does not focus on culture specific details and information. • Fourth, although training employees can be a very productive tool, depending solely on training to foster acceptance and the skills needed to make sustainable change is severely limited. There must be sustainable efforts to support staff in applying newly acquired skills. We don't expect to be competent in a sport after a few practice sessions, similarly we cannot expect to be competent working with cultures other than our own after a few workshops. • Finally, there is a recognition that any skills learned must be applied in context, and that training is only one piece of a larger approach that includes assigning resources and developing a long-term strategy to identify barriers affecting certain groups and to create an inclusive and equitable work environment. 10.5 Hour Workshop: Intercultural Competence and Equity Objectives of the workshop are to: Establish a common language and understanding regarding an intercultural approach to equity and inclusion Reinforce the importance of continuing to develop the skills needed to work and live in a culturally diverse community 19 THE. f9TY C]F DUB E Maiterpieceon the Assisarppi y • Understand how we process diversity related information to form perceptions about ourselves and others • Examine some of the foundations of culture • Examine personal identity and its relationship to culture • Examine how language, non-verbal communication, and values can interfere with communication • Begin to unpack inclusion and equity issues in individual organizations using an intercultural approach • Understand employee roles in contributing towards an inclusive organizational culture 32-Hour Developing Equity Frameworks through Intercultural Methods This workshop is best suited for those working on teams seeking to advance equity and inclusion. Participants will use an intercultural framework to collectively explore individual, institutional, and systemic opportunities. The program includes opportunities for participants to practice using the tools they have received, working together to identify dilemmas facing their organizations, to develop strategies for addressing issues, and to create action items. Objectives for the four -day program are to: • Understand fundamental concepts related to an intercultural approach to inclusion and equity using individual, institutional, and structural levels • Learn tools and skills that can be applied to influence organizational change • Recognize inclusion and equity issues to advance action plans to stabilize equity and inclusion in the organization • Identify equity needs of your community through your organization's lens and set goals to influence a positive impact in the community • Identify inclusion and equity issues and begin to develop an action plan to advance equity and inclusion in participant organizations or groups • Create an all -encompassing environment based on trust for: o Effective team building o Healthy workforce culture o Active strategic planning 20 21
