Census Bureau and PRB Seek Steering Committee Members for Data User Groups

[Pettit, Kathryn]

See this announcement calling for applications for the steering committees of the ACS and Decennial Census User Groups – I’d love to see neighborhood-focused people on the committees!

 

And if you want to join the ACS users group, visit their website.

Update from American Community Survey Data Users Group Census Bureau and PRB Seek Steering Committee Members for Data User Groups Dear colleague, We have two important announcements: 1) In partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) is soliciting applications for membership on two separate steering committees to help us plan activities for engaging data users. The American Community Survey Data Users Group (ACS DUG) Steering Committee will have approximately 10-12 members who provide feedback to PRB and the Census Bureau on ACS-related activities (e.g., data user events, bi-annual ACS Data User Conferences, and data user surveys), data products, dissemination channels, and/or methods. The new Decennial Census Data Users Group (Decennial DUG) Steering Committee will have approximately 10-12 members who will help guide the development of a new online community forum. This forum will enable decennial census data users to discuss matters related to decennial census data products If you are interested in being considered for membership on either committee, please complete the application: https://forms.office.com/r/fg7tfNBVyu. The deadline for applications is Thursday, April 4. PRB will notify applicants regarding the selection decisions by Tuesday, April 23. 2) We are making some exciting improvements to the ACS Online Community website!  The site will be unavailable between Thursday, March 14 (8:30 pm ET) until Friday, March 15 (7:00 am ET) for scheduled upgrades.
