Information

Referral History:

On December 18, 2018, the Board of Supervisors authorized the establishment of the Complete Count Steering Committee to guide the County's 2020 Census Outreach effort. The Board also requested that four county regional working groups be established to better engage with Contra Costa County residents.

Referral Update:

The proposed Regional Convening structure is a starting point based on Census 2010 outreach and State requirements.

The primary goals of the first Regional Convening's are to bring together trusted messengers and conduct an initial inventory of partners and resources required for the implementation plan. The proposed structure of the Regional Convening is a workshop format to allow attendees to network and provide input about outreach efforts.

There will be a State-led Workshop for all Counties in Region 3 on June 19th to discuss implementation plans. Ideally, the first Regional Convening's will happen before the Region 3 Workshop.

The attached presentation provides an overview of the proposed Regional Convening.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

If the Steering Committee is substantially in agreement with the proposed Regional Convening Structure, the committee can direct staff to begin organizing the Convening's. Additionally, members can volunteer to participate in their region, help get the word out once the dates have been set, and assist in soliciting food/drink donations for the events.

The Steering Committee may also choose to have the Outreach Committee provide additional input on the Regional Convening structure and bring it back to the Committee in May.

Fiscal Impact (if any):
