The Management Development Area includes all of the fundraising projects of the chapter as well as management of the chapter's facility. The money raised through the management projects helps fund the rest of the projects under the community, individual and state areas.

Dubuque Jaycees Management projects allow the organization to fund tens of thousands of dollars to area charities, projects and programs. Many of our own community projects such as Toys For Kids benefit from our many Management Development projects. The Jaycee Trail, the portion of the Riverwalk stretching from Hwy 151 to the Hawthorne Street Peninsula was funded by the Jaycees as part of a $250,000 matching grant. The Jaycees paid for the project in just five years.
