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.

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.

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. I also volunteer and I am active in many recreational sports which is another avenue for me to gather input and opinions from community members.

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.

Enoc is a young strong voice for the LatinX population and having him serve as a Commissioner gives the Commission a great chance to continue our service in the community with a man that speaks their language; eliminating the need for outside translators. He comes with a great deal of knowledge, ideas and understanding for tasks required to be a commissioner. His valuable insight into the LatinX community will help all Commissioners develop more ways to be of service as well as educate current commissioners about issues facing the community. Enoc currently serves on the board for Habitat for Humanity and his voice is already making a difference. As the Chairperson for the Commission, I strongly believe adding a young man like Enoc will only make us stronger while continuing to serve ALL of the community.
