About the webinar

As the results of Census 2020 continue to shape public policy, resource allocation, and community planning across the country, it is more important than ever for local governments and community leaders to engage in meaningful conversations with their constituents. This webinar, "Census 2020 and Beyond: Best Practices for Community Conversations," offers a deep dive into the strategies that have proven successful in leveraging census data for the benefit of diverse communities.

Join us to explore how communities have effectively used the insights gained from the 2020 Census to inform their decisions and policies. Our expert panel will discuss the critical importance of transparent and inclusive communication in the aftermath of the census, especially in areas where the data has revealed significant changes or needs. By sharing real-world examples and best practices, this session aims to empower local leaders with the tools they need to foster trust, drive engagement, and ensure that all voices are heard.

Key topics will include methods for reaching underrepresented populations, strategies for addressing community concerns about data privacy, and ways to use census data to promote equitable resource distribution. We’ll also explore how the lessons learned from Census 2020 can be applied to future community engagement initiatives, ensuring that the momentum gained is not lost but rather built upon in the years to come.

Whether you are a public official, a community organizer, or simply someone invested in the well-being of your community, this webinar will provide valuable insights and practical advice for turning census data into actionable, impactful conversations.
