Webinar:
The Private Sector and the ACS
January 31, 2013
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Register
This webinar will showcase the importance of the American Community Survey for private data vendors and their clients. It will make the case that their private sector work would be severely hampered if the ACS were not adequately funded and authorized. The early 2013 timing for the webinar is important, as the incoming members of Congress will need to be educated about the American Community Survey and to address Census Bureau funding by the end of March.
Presenters:
Elizabeth Nash, PolicyMap
Ken Hodges, Nielsen
Rob Sentz, EMSI
