MARCH 26, 2024 ? The U.S. Census Bureau today announced the appointment of 23 members to its new 2030 Census Advisory Committee (2030 CAC).
The 2030 CAC members, who represent various stakeholder organizations, groups, interests and viewpoints, have extensive census and survey experience. Under its charter, the 2030 CAC will assist the Census Bureau in devising strategies to increase awareness of and participation in the next decennial census, reduce barriers to response and enhance the public?s trust and willingness to respond.
?This talented group of specialists will provide the myriad perspectives and expertise that will help us produce statistical data to accurately render the beautifully diverse and dynamic nature of the nation?s population,? Census Bureau Director Robert L. Santos said.
?The 2030 Census Advisory Committee?s insights on how to address persistent undercounts and overcounts, communicate with different communities in culturally relevant ways, and to collect information in easy and efficient ways are crucial to planning the decennial census,? said Deborah Stempowski, associate director for Decennial Census Programs. ?As we enter the last year of our ?Design Selection Phase?, this continued engagement with stakeholders is critical while we consider the public feedback we collected along with the results of our research and testing.?
The committee is set to hold its first meeting in the near future. The meeting will be open to the public via webcast.
