Asian American 2010 Census Monitoring Project: Evaluation and Feedback

AALDEF, OCA, SAALT, NAKASEC, CAA, AAF, and ALC are helping the US Census Bureau effectively reach out to Asian Americans.  We aim to assess successes and problems in the Bureau’s 2010 Census plans and activities.  
 
Please take a few minutes to complete an on-line survey or/and participate in a national Asian American conference call evaluating the Census.  Please share your experiences in working with the Census Bureau so we can make concrete recommendations for improvement.
