Hi Everyone -
The AFF2 training session is now confirmed. Please use the link below
to register for the session. I have reserved 220 spaces.
https://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/webconference/web_conf_learner_re
g.aspx?webconfid=23454
After you register, you will get the meeting URL and the telephone
number.
Michelle Jiles on the Census Bureau's ACS staff will conduct the
training. Michelle previously worked for the Census Bureau's
Journey-to-work and Migration Branch, so she is familiar with the CTPP
user community.
I have asked her to cover examples using both tables from ACS and 2010
Census SF 1. She will mention but not provide training on the ACS
system to download files. The Block Group data from ACS is not
available via AFF2 but ONLY through the download system. If there is
time at the end, she can discuss this more fully, or else, we will
arrange for another training session.
We will have plenty of time for questions and answers.
Ed Christopher will be in charge of the session. Ed will try to record
the session, but we can't guarantee success because it is not something
we do on a regular basis. I'll ask the webmeeting people for help in
advance! Because of the difficulty in scheduling this session, I will
not be able to attend.
