This memo provides a written background of Inclusive Dubuque accomplishments since
November 2017, and serves as a supplement to a presentation that will be offered by
Inclusive Dubuque network partners at a work session on April 30, 2018.
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 take 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 November:
Since our last work session with City Council in November, network partners have
accomplished the following:
• The Peer Learning Council has completed six months of a nine-month series of
Best Practices workshops. Participants in the workshops have indicated an
intent to work on the following projects within their organizations:
o Expand menu options for employee luncheons to be more inclusive
o Strategize on addressing turnover and finding qualified applicants
o Get training on intercultural skills
o Develop an internship or apprenticeship program
o Bring what they are learning back to organization's leadership team
o Explore resources to recognize biases and understand different cultural
perspectives
o Offer monthly learning opportunities for staff
o Offer lunch and learns
o Collaborate more closely with GDDC and DBQWorks on developing
applicants with necessary skills
o Find resources on communication for training
• The Education Sector Group is examining equity tools, books, video, blogs, and
trainings to assist with applying an equity lens and will be sharing capstone
projects being worked on as a result of the Best Practices program.
• The Housing & Neighborhoods Sector Group is being led by Tom LoGuidice
(NAACP member) and Tom Smith (property owner). They are exploring what
may be impacting the low number of property owners willing to accept housing
vouchers.
• The Arts & Culture group is planning a permanent display of the I'm a Dubuquer
campaign. The I'm a Dubuquer campaign won an Addy award and a 365 award.
• The Economic Opportunity Group is now being housed under Project H.O.P.E.
and is working on addressing childcare barriers.
• The Business Cohort is planning agenda for first meeting focused on the
business case for addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion within local
businesses
• The Inclusive Dubuque Coordinator has begun collecting data from network
partners on equity actions taken during 2017 for this year's Advancing Equity
Report.
• Quarterly meetings of the full network have resumed now that Best Practices is
firmly underway. The first quarterly meeting was held on March 28 and focused
on the perception survey completed by Loras College for the Greater Dubuque
Development Corporation.
At the City Council Work Session on April 30, the following network partners will present
additional information on their institutional efforts to advance equity in education and to
contribute towards an inclusive community: Clarke University, Travel Dubuque, and the
Dubuque Community School District.
City of Dubuque as a Network Partner — Accomplishments since November:
The City of Dubuque 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
2
• Goal #4: Advance equity through collective impact partnerships.
Since November, the following has been accomplished:
• The Equity Core Team has finalized goals and objectives for department level
equity plans, along with guiding principles for advancing racial equity, and has
provided an equity report to the City Manager. The team is working to develop a
tool to assist managers in better responding to the equity questions posed in the
City Council Policy Agenda Report. The team also provided leadership team
with information on the importance of disaggregating data and is in the process
of surveying the degree to which departments are currently using disaggregated
data to determine the degree to which their services are working for all groups.
• The Facilitation Team has developed and is currently implementing the four-day
advancing equity workshop for teams seeking to develop equity plans for their
departments or organizations, customizing the training to meet the needs of
attendees. We have employees registered from the Library, Police Department,
Clerk's office, Leisure Services, Planning, and Human Rights, and several
attendees from the Dubuque Community School District and non-profits. Trainers
participating are from Human Rights, Police, Multicultural Family Center,
Housing, Water & Resource Recovery Center, and Public Works. The
workshops for City staff in October and November included case studies focused
on micro-aggression and implicit bias in the workplace, based in part on the
results of department self-assessments. Team members are bringing learning
back into their departments. Some examples: the Multicultural Family Center
identifies and discusses equity issues at regular staff meetings; the Police
Department continues to implement a communication and culture course with
new recruits three to four times a year and is working on plans around
department culture; the Housing Department is increasingly discussing equity as
part of its daily work and would like to move towards something more intentional;
the Public Works Department is beginning to develop a monthly conversation
with staff on equity.
• The Recruitment and Retention Team reviewed the job description for Training
and Workforce Development Coordinator and developed a draft work plan for the
position as part of preparation for the unfreezing of the position.
• The Community Engagement Team reviewed the job description for Community
Engagement Coordinator and developed a draft work plan for the position as part
of preparation for the unfreezing of the position. An employee from the Fire
Department and an employee from the Library have joined the community
engagement team.
• The Cash Out Team is meeting with contract and purchased service partners
and potential grant recipients regarding reporting expectations and providing
technical support.
• Department Equity Plans and employee development:
3
o The following departments sent equity leads to attend the Government
Alliance on Race and Equity convening in Chicago in April: Police,
Library, Fire, Public Works, Leisure Services, Human Rights,
o In addition, leaders from Human Rights, Housing, and Leisure Services
were part of the Inclusive Dubuque delegation that attended the Policy
Link Equity Summit.
o Several equity team members also attended the Des Moines Civil and
Human Rights Symposium called Blueprint for Building Community.
At the City Council Work Session on April 30, the Transportation and Public Works
Departments will present on their efforts to advance equity in the delivery of City
services related to transportation.

INCLUSIVF dubuque
Connecting People • Strengthening Community
Inclusive Dubuque is a local network of community leaders
from faith, labor, education and government committed to supporting an informed,
equitable and inclusive community where all people are respected, valued and treated
fairly.
The Network provides equity learning opportunities, tools and community baseline data
that support the continued development of a more informed, equitable and inclusive
community where all people are respected, valued and engaged.
Why a Network?
No single organization can address systems change to
affect complex issues like:
•
•
•
Eliminating racism in a community
Educating the community's children, or
Ensuring a skilled workforce
A network takes a broad view of community problems, engages all sectors, uses
long-term strategies, builds trust and encourages participation in decision-making
to achieve systems change.

We know there are limitations to how we receive roadway complaints. While we use
objective pavement ratings and other related infrastructure conditions to develop

This method works for making sure we're spreading the improvements throughout
the community.
