Census Solutions Workshops: Have your shared your ideas?

AlCo-Census2

The Alameda Complete Count Committee is leading a series of Census Solutions Workshops to ensure our census outreach planning is built upon best practices and expertise of community leaders. Achieving a complete and accurate count of Alameda County will require us to work collaboratively and innovatively -- so let’s think outside of the box together!

Participants at Census Solutions Workshop

In order to ensure our outreach strategies and tools are authentic to Alameda County residents, we are asking you -- community leaders, nonprofit organizations, and service providers -- to share your insights and ideas. Each workshop offers participants an overview of Census 2020, explains the role of the Alameda County Census Team, and invites attendees to participate in a design-thinking brainstorming activity about our collective Census outreach work.
