Solicitation of Applications for Two Steering Committees
DRAFT Solicitation of Applications
for Two Steering Committees
1. ACS DATA USERS GROUP
2. DECENNIAL CENSUS DATA USERS GROUP
DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2024
In partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, the Population Reference
Bureau (PRB) is soliciting applications for membership in two separate
Steering Committees to help us plan activities for data users:
1. American
Community Survey Data Users Group (ACS DUG) Steering
Committee.
2. Decennial Census Data Users Group (Decennial DUG) Steering
Committee.
The ACS DUG Steering Committee will have approximately 10-12
members who provide feedback to PRB and the Census Bureau on ACSrelated activities (e.g., data user events, bi-annual ACS Data User
Conferences, and data user surveys), data products, dissemination
channels, and/or methods. This ongoing exchange will help the Census
Bureau develop innovative data products and dissemination tools that
best meet ACS data users’ needs. Each year, committee members will
participate in four virtual meetings. During the first year, there is potential
for one hybrid meeting.
The new Decennial DUG Steering Committee will have approximately
10-12 members who will help guide the development of a new online
community forum. This forum will be provided to decennial census data
users to discuss matters related to decennial census data products.
During the first year, committee members will participate in monthly
virtual meetings to assist with defining the scope of the new online
community forum, website design, and implementation strategy. The
following year, committee members will participate in the release and
monitoring of the new online forum.
