RE: Inclusive Dubuque Quarterly Work Session
A work session has been scheduled for the evening of November 2, 2015, for the
purpose of providing an Inclusive Dubuque quarterly update to the Council. This memo
provides a written background of Inclusive Dubuque accomplishments, as a supplement
to the Monday evening presentation.
Background
Launched in 2013, Inclusive Dubuque is a local network of leaders from faith, labor,
education, business, nonprofit, and government committed to a common cause: a
community where all people feel respected, valued, and engaged. 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 50 organizations and
several individual community members. A list of current network partners is attached.
Partners gather monthly to share their perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion in
Dubuque, to learn from one another, and to connect with each other on projects. The
network also works to identify opportunities through data collection and dialogue, and to
take action on those opportunities.
The Inclusive Dubuque vision is to have a community where people feel respected,
valued, and engaged. Partners are committed to supporting an equitable and inclusive
culture to meet the economic and cultural needs of our diverse community. As a
network, Inclusive Dubuque organizes people around the vision, identifies opportunities,
and takes action to move us closer to our vision.
Inclusive Dubuque strives to operate using the concept of collective impact. Partners
within the network come together around a common agenda, identify a set of shared
measures, continuously communicate with one another, identify a backbone
organization to keep everyone organized, and then each contribute what they do best in
the form of mutually reinforcing activities designed to move the needle on the shared
measures.
Inclusive Dubuque Network — Recent Accomplishments:
One of the first major projects undertaken by Inclusive Dubuque over the past year has
been the development of an equity profile - an extensive process to discover how
diverse groups are affected by various systems in our community that impact economic
wellbeing, housing, education, health, safe neighborhoods, transportation, and arts &
culture.
The process of developing a community equity profile included numerous components
and has spanned February through October 2015. While a portion of the process
involved gathering readily available quantitative data from sources such as the U.S.
Census, we intentionally supplemented this with community surveys, community
dialogue sessions, and facilitator training. Inclusive Dubuque also implemented a
thorough marketing & communication plan. The surveys, dialogue sessions, facilitator
training, and associated marketing have served a purpose beyond data collected, as
they have helped to catalyze a larger community conversation about equity issues that
extends beyond those of us working in a professional capacity. The hope is that this will
encourage ongoing input and actions by community members.
The process of collecting data for the profile is complete, and Equity Profile snapshots
related to the focus areas are available at www.inclusivedbq.org. In total, 60 community
dialogues were held with 584 participants, 1 ,995 surveys were completed, and 305
community members have signed up to stay connected. Demographics of participants
(calculated as of August 11 , 2015) were as follows:

Next steps include gathering community feedback to develop priorities and outline
initiatives, beginning with participants at the November 3 Chamber of Commerce
Diversity Summit. In preparation for the Summit, Inclusive Dubuque engaged Everyday
Democracy to travel to Dubuque and provide training for facilitators. A summary of the
profile also is being created, which will be released in November. Working groups are
beginning to form around each of the focus areas, as well as an "Impact Council' that
will focus on communication across groups and intersections between focus areas.
The equity profile also will assist with developing a set of community indicators, with the
Campaign for Grade Level Reading (GLR) serving as a model. GLR is already using
the Results Scorecard, which is a tool that allows partners to track their progress
individually and collectively in improving reading scores. The Results Scorecard is
premised in a performance management approach called Results Based Accountability.
The Government Alliance on Race and Equity (CARE), of which the City of Dubuque is
3
a member, is using the Results Scorecard and Results Based Accountability nationally
for measuring progress in reducing racial inequities in a community and for establishing
a way to compare and share progress across communities. The Community
Foundation of Greater Dubuque, the Government Alliance on Race and Equity, the
Campaign for Grade Level Reading, and the City of Dubuque have partnered to bring
Dan Duncan with the Results Leadership Group to Dubuque on November 5, November
6, and December 11 . Dan will be working with City and community partners to apply
results based accountability through the lens of racial equity to the work of the
Campaign for Grade Level Reading.
City as a Network Partner - Accomplishments to Date:
Intentional efforts have been made inside the organization to engage City staff in the
Inclusive Dubuque efforts as well. Throughout the equity profile process, each e-mail
blast advertising dialogue dates and surveys was disseminated throughout the
organization, accompanied by ongoing requests that staff be encouraged to participate
as residents and to share the information with others. The monthly newsletters,
snapshots, and weekly e-mails to network partners also have been shared throughout
City departments. Finally, several City staff have served on the Equity Profile steering
committee or have served as trained facilitators for dialogue sessions.
In January of 2015, we established an Inclusive Dubuque Core Team within the City
organization to specifically focus on identifying ways in which the organization is already
contributing toward the Inclusive Dubuque vision, as well as identifying areas for
improvement. From January through April, the team met with Leadership Team
members within each City Department. During these meetings, we provided an
overview of Inclusive Dubuque, answered questions about the initiative, gathered
leadership's ideas on where they see their work connected with Inclusive Dubuque's
focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and identified a department champion who
would be the point of contact as the initiative moves forward both inside the organization
and out in the community. The results of these meetings were summarized in a memo
to you dated July 21 , 2015. The core team has also completed a draft of an equity
toolkit based on a model from the Government Alliance on Race and Equity. We
introduced the basic concepts behind the toolkit as part of staff training in August and
September, focusing first on departments covered by the Voluntary Compliance
Agreement.
We have developed a template for department level equity plans and have begun
implementation with the Police Department and Leisure Services Department. Once
plans for these two departments are developed, we will revisit each of the other
departments to develop their action plans. Throughout this process, we will be taking
into consideration partnerships each department has, or could develop, that are
designed to impact priorities identified by Inclusive Dubuque. As an example, the
Leisure Services Department is already involved in a crucial equity action plan involving
education - Grade Level Reading — and the upcoming Results Scorecard training will
4
assist us in applying a racial equity lens to the GLR effort to see where we are
succeeding in reducing the racial gap and where we may need to adjust our efforts.
Early Actions by Other Network Partners
Each network partner determines how they can contribute to the Inclusive Dubuque
vision by "doing what they do best." A few examples of early actions of other network
partners include the following:
• The Chamber of Commerce has taken steps to begin a Minority Business
Council.
• The Convention and Visitors Bureau has developed cultural competency training
• Business leaders are learning how to integrate best practices into their
organizations
• A group of dialogue participants have started an informal African Diaspora group
