Program Description
Event Details
Discover how data from the American Community Survey (ACS) can be used effectively to support grant applications and community advocacy. Stacie Cochran-McNeal, your U.S. Census Bureau Data Dissemination Specialist, will share best practices for locating the data you need, including a live demonstration of Census data tools featuring ACS data.
Participants will gain practical skills to build stronger, data-driven proposals and advocate more effectively for their communities.
This event is in-person and online! If you are attending in-person, bringing your own laptop/tablet is highly encouraged to follow along. If the registration limit is full for the online option, please email leslee.stover@kcpls.org for a link to the Webex webinar!
