Etowah Chamber issued the following announcement on July 30.
As you may have heard, Alabama has only surpassed 60% participation in the 2020 Census. That’s a few points below the national average.
Improvements to Alabama’s essential services are good for business, & in order to attract top-quality employees to our state, we have to ensure that it’s a great place for them to live. And with up to $13 billion in federal funding at stake, this small task plays an important role in our collective futures.
That’s why we’re encouraging businesses in the community to join us for Drop Everything, Get Counted Day on August 12th.
Click Here to Complete Your Census
There are a few different ways you can get involved. Host a breakfast for your employees during which they can complete the census form. Block off half an hour for your employees to all focus just on taking the census. Create time slots for employees to sign up and take the census if you don’t have enough computers available. Or send your employees home an hour early so they can take the census with their families.
Whatever strategy you choose, let your employees know how important the 2020 Census is. It’s only 10 questions, but it can make a huge impact on our communities.
We hope you’ll be looking forward to Drop Everything Day with us!
