DESCRIPTION

Making Sense of the Census!

Census 2010 is fast approaching! Is your community ready? $400 billion in federal funding is allocated each year based on census data. Equally important, the results from the 2010 Census will be used to reapportion congressional and state legislative districts. There is a concern that some New England states could lose representation in Washington and their share of federal assistance if all residents are not counted.

This census workshop will provide you with the tools and ideas you will need to help ensure a complete count in your community. Attendees will learn about upcoming census activities and programs that will be vital to pushing the message about the importance of the 2010 Census to all residents. You will also be invited to become a partner with the U.S. Census Bureau and work with them to help mobilize your communities and constituents in support of achieving a complete count.

Attendees will also receive instructions on how to access the most up to date statistics for their community, their county, their state or the Nation. Data for 2008 has recently been released!
