LANG, Shirley. (Dubuque, IA- ). First woman dock manager. Lang served as the dock manager for the City of Dubuque from 1960 to 1985 when the Dock Commission was taken from a policymaking position and made advisory to the city council. During her term as manager, Lang oversaw the development of the [[FLOODWALL]] and the resulting increased utilization of the water frontage along the river. She also acted as a liaison between the three dock commissioners and companies wishing to develop in the first of the [[DUBUQUE INDUSTRIAL PARKS]] along Kerper Boulevard. Lang supervised the day-to-day operation of riverfront facilities and land estimated at the time to have a market value of $20 million.

In February 1975, Lang announced that she had retained an attorney to investigate whether she had been victimized by wage discrimination.

Lang was then receiving $10,001 after twelve years of service. Comparable administrative salaries were $13,000.
