Every 10 years, the U.S. Constitution calls for a census count of all persons living in the United States.
Based on census numbers, nearly $400 billion of federal resources are allocated annually to states, communities, and community-based organizations.
Our communities have a lot to gain or lose in the 2010 census. We need to make sure everyone is counted!
At this conference, learn about the key messages and outreach strategies organizations across the country are using to encourage census participation among the hardest-to-count communities.
Learn about special initiatives happening in Fargo-Moorhead and how to become involved in our national effort.
