Be in the know! The Greater Hammond Chamber Just the Facts on Friday, July 19, will feature information on the 2020 Census, the importance of an accurate count and how the community can partner with the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure a successful census.

"There has been a lot of media attention about the upcoming census. Join us to get your questions answered, learn how the census will be conducted and why it's important that everyone be counted," Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Tracy Randazzo said.

United State Census Bureau Partnership Specialists develop partnerships within their assigned geographic area with state and local government leaders, community-based organizations, faith-based groups, schools, media outlets, businesses and other grassroots entities in communities. These relationships will be critical efforts to break down enumeration barriers in support of the 2020 Decennial Census.
