The census is
conducted every ten years to count all people residing in the United
States. The census is important because it determines the distribution
of government funding for critical
community services. The census generates thousands of jobs across theour counties and it impacts your voice in congress.
The Complete Count Committee for Murray and Whitfield Counties:
One way to help ensure that everyone is counted is to form Complete
Count Committees in communities, municipalities, cities, counties,
states and tribal governments across the country. Complete Count
Committees are volunteer teams consisting of community leaders,
faith-based groups, schools, businesses, media outlets and others who
are appointed by elected officials and work together to make sure
entire communities are counted. Murray and Whitfield Counties have established our
own Complete Count Committies.
“We want the 2010 Census to be the most accurate yet, and we are again
calling upon Complete Count Committees to help us achieve that goal,”
said Tom Mesenbourg, acting director of the U.S. Census Bureau. “To
ensure an accurate count and distribution of funds for schools, roads
and elderly services, the support of local Complete Count Committees is
vital.” For more information about forming a Complete Count Committee,
contact Margaret Zeisig at the United Way of United Way of Northwest Georgia.
