Let us know what’s important to you
The APDU Board is working on updating our strategy to ensure we remain a valuable resource for our members. To do that, we need your input. Please let us know what’s important to you by completing a brief survey.
As part of our strategy refresh, you will notice changes in the months ahead. The first change is that we’ve modernized the monthly newsletter to focus on upcoming events, share news you can use, and provide opportunities to showcase members’ work.

Our Census: Looking Back to 2020 and Forward to 2030
This webinar will highlight lessons learned from the 2020 Census.
The Committee on National Statistics, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (CNSTAT) recently released a report, Assessing the 2020 Census. Connie will share findings from that report on age heaping, population coverage, self-response, nonresponse follow-up, group quarters, race and ethnicity, and confidentiality protection plus recommendations for 2030. The report urges the Census Bureau to establish a true partnership with census data users and governments at all levels.
