Sainci Named Millennial Impact Fellow
DUBUQUE, Iowa — City of Dubuque Resource Management Coordinator and Supervisor
Anderson Sainci has been named a Millennial Impact Fellow by New Profit, a national
nonprofit venture philanthropy fund.
Sainci was one of 12 candidates selected for this distinction as a young social change agent
and was invited to attend New Profit's 13th annual Gathering of Leaders conference, March 1-
2, in Atlanta. He was a panelist in the conference's session entitled, "High-Performing
Communities and the Real Deal: Entrepreneurs, Innovators and American Renewal."
New Profit cites Sainci as a community connector, bringing the stories and experiences he
hears from his community, to the local government that serves it. "Local government and
grassroots organizations allow me to know what's going on, and to be that bridge," said
Sainci.
As a resource management coordinator and supervisor in the City of Dubuque Public Works
Department, Sainci manages the City's curbside collection of trash, recycling, and yard debris
and food scraps. The position includes a focus on sustainability as it pertains to the
environment, economics, and social culture within Dubuque. He works with various
community partners to facilitate equity and inclusion within the community.
He is also involved with Dubuque's My Brother's Keeper initiative, which focuses on creating
systems that work for boys of color. "I believe that we can fix the education system to allow
1
kids, at a young age, to know what they want to be when they grow up, and push them to do
something society says they aren't supposed to do," said Sainci.
Additionally, Sainci is part of the Dubuque Black Men's Coalition, a network that supports the
challenges the city is facing as it grows more diverse. "We want to ensure that we have a
support system, and are able to give back to the community," he explained. The coalition
hosts various programs to ensure this mission is reached. Their current program, the
Manhood Project, is one of many initiatives that is focused on empowering young men of
color.
Sainci has served as resource management coordinator and supervisor in the City of
Dubuque Public Works Department since August 2015. He was elected to the Iowa
Recycling Association Board of Directors in October 2016. He holds a bachelor of arts
degree in business administration and a master of arts degree in communication, both from
the University of Dubuque. Sainci's prior experience includes serving as an intern for the City
of Dubuque in various capacities, including work in the information services, economic
development, and public works departments. He also served as an AmeriCorps VISTA for
the Sustainable Dubuque initiative. Sainci serves on the boards of directors for the Iowa
Commission on Volunteer Service, Dubuque Dream Center, St. Mark Youth Enrichment,
Every Child Every Promise, and Radius Church.
