\nThe Census has consequences that all Alaskans will live with for the next 10 years\, and it kicked off on January 21\, 2020 - months before Census operations kick off in the Lower 48. We ask business leaders and all types of organizations to join us to spread the word about the importance of the 2020 Census and help ensure a complete and accurate count of all Alaskans.
\n
\nThis presentation by Laurie Wolf\, CEO of The Foraker Group\, will include educational information that reminds folks about the critical importance of the Census to businesses specifically\, with serious implications on informing investment decisions and strategic planning within the private sector. We will include specific ways that businesses can spread the word and tap into their networks to support a fair and accurate count of all Alaskans.\n
