The North Carolina Complete Count Committee began its work of promoting Census participation in the state on Friday with a training and work session at Shaw University in Raleigh.  Committee co-chairs Senator Don Davis and Representative Jimmy Love Sr. will coordinate the statewide committee made up of representatives from North Carolina's varied communities.  The Committee will reach out to all residents of the state through community, faith-based, ethnic, business, education, and governmental organizations to encourage everyone to complete and return their 2010 Census questionnaire.

Census forms will be mailed to every address in the state in mid-March.  The 2010 Census questionnaires are the shortest in Census history - containing only 10 questions requiring about 10 minutes to complete.  Census responses are confidential and are not shared with any agency or company.  Completing the Census questionnaires helps to bring federal resources and representation to our state.  Over $400 billion in federal funds are obligated each year based on Census data.  For more information on the North Carolina Complete Count Committee and the 2010 Census, visit http://2010census.nc.gov and the US Census Bureau 2010 Census at http://2010.census.gov.

The NC Complete Count Committee, the state leadership group for Census activities in North Carolina, is holding its first meeting today in Raleigh.  At the same time, Gov. Perdue has launched North Carolina's census website: 2010census.nc.gov.  As part of the efforts, there is a new blog that will keep you up-to-date on Census activities and news from around North Carolina.  Click here to read the blog!

With more than $4 trillion in federal funds, congressional representation, and more, impacted by the Census, it’s critical that every person in North Carolina be counted.  So remember to complete your Census questionnaire and mail it back. It’s quick, important and secure!
