Equity Cohort Commitment Statement
As members of the Business Leader Equity Cohort:, we are
committed to building a Dubuque region where all people feel
welcome and included, and ensuring that the rich diversity of our
people is one of aurgreatest assets.
e do this by starting with our own organizations, recognizing
that diversity drives new ideas and innovations, and fosters
economic stability and growth. We drive initiatives that increase
the ratio of historically underrepresented employees at all levels
of our organizations and guarantee that everyone is valued for
who they are. Ourworkplaces will be environments where all
people can thrive because they feel respected and appreciated.
This work must also permeate throughout the business
community and entire region, as a community -wide culture of
inclusion attracts new businesses and promotes homegrown
entrepreneurship. By listening to and learning from our
employees, customers, the communities we serve, and one
another, we�ndways to promote upward mobility and prosperity
for everyone.
We welcome all ideas for building a strong, diverse workforce and
making the Dubuque region a community of choice forworkers
making ittheir home.
