How Census 2020 Impacts Your Community
January 13, 2020 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
The U.S. Census is probably even more important today than it was when our founding fathers decided to make it a constitutional requirement. Nationally, census data will determine a lot of things, such as the allocation of electoral votes and Federal and state congressional redistricting.
Locally, the accuracy of the count will impact funding for schools, hospitals, and infrastructure projects. Learn about the many ways the information is used, as well as built-in privacy protections.
Join Encore Learning, a 2020 Census Partner, to explore how the 2020 Census will be different from years past and its impact on our region. Encore Learning Executive Director Lora Pollari-Welbes will introduce the program. Dr. Bryna Helfer, with a distinguished career serving many agencies and an award winner for coalition building, will lead the panel discussion.
