Local Governments Roundtable on 2020 Census: March 6

You are invited:

Metro Local Governments Roundtable on 2020 Census

This is our 10th quarterly meeting of local governments working together to promote participation in the 2020 Census. We began this conversation last year, with staff of Minneapolis, St Paul, Metropolitan Council, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. We expanded the discussion to include: all metro counties, cities with "low response score" challenges, and cities that have Complete Count Committees.

This meeting invites and includes local government professionals and officials who are organizing and supporting Complete Count activities. This meeting is not itself a Complete Count Committee.

You are welcome to share this invitation within your office or city hall. We are especially interested to involve community engagement specialists, communications specialists, and interested elected officials.
