The Census Bureau cannot do this alone. <br />We require the assistance of partners-individuals, groups, <br />and organizations across the nation that can help us <br />build awareness about the census, why it is important, <br />and encourage their community to participate. One very <br />effective way to accomplish this is through Complete Count <br />Committees. <br />Whx Is a CompleiE' coaim Committee? <br />A Complete Count Committee (CCC) is a volunteer <br />committee established by tribal, state, and local governments, <br />and/or community leaders, to increase awareness about the <br />census and motivate residents in the community to respond. <br />The committees work best when they include a cross section <br />of community representatives from government agencies, <br />education, business, religious organizations, and the media. <br />The CCC is charged with developing and implementing a <br />plan designed to target the unique characteristics of their <br />community. <br />Complete Count Committees (CCCs) come in difFerent <br />types and sizes, depending on how they are organized and <br />where they are located. The following table gives you an idea <br />of the types and sizes that are most common. <br />g 2010 Census Complete Count Committee Guide <br />- 2C 2 <br />
