in diverse and we meet regularly to discuss pertinent issues in our city and
2nv11'011mentS: especially those related to property owners. This is a unique
experience that has been utilized only in Dubuque and nowhere else
in the state. Because of this, I have become aware of ways to join in
neighborhood meetings, as well as volunteering. It has been helpful
becoming familiar with the various departments in the city and
knowing who to speak with in those departments when the need is
there. Sharing our concerns and having the opportunity to have so
many departments available at once to discuss questions and
concerns has opened ways to be helpful to the people of our
community as well as the needs of the city council by being aware of
what will be upcoming on the agenda. Sometimes, for example, it may
include surveying our own landlord membership for answers that the
council or the housing department will be or is seeking.
Describe your I have been involved with Inclusive Dubuque and have seen the need
experience engaging to have communication in order to find solutions that are facing our
other community citizens, especially the challenges some face because of language
members to gather barriers, a change of culture when moving to this community and
their input and finding ways to make people feel welcome. I have taken part in round
opinions:
table discussions to hear others' point of view and have joined in
'break out groups'to problem solve. As of late I am not a part of
Inclusive Dbq but I am aware of its'goals and needs and try to keep
abreast of how it has continued to develop.

1 . 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 inembers 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 inembers . If the board , commission , committee , or council is composed of '
an even number of inembers , 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 .
