From: U.S. Census Bureau [mailto:census@subscriptions.census.gov] Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 2:10 PM To: Weinberger, Penelope Subject: Dir. Robert M. Groves Requests Your Feedback for ACS Program Review From Robert M. Groves, Director, U.S. Census Bureau I would like to invite you to provide your insight and advice on the methodologies employed and products developed by the American Community Survey (ACS) Program. In December of 2010, the ACS program released its first five-year data products. With this important milestone achieved, we decided that a comprehensive assessment of the ACS program was prudent to ensure its continued effectiveness. I commissioned the ACS Program Review Team to plan and implement this assessment. As a key stakeholder and advocate of the ACS program, your assistance will help us obtain a broad and more robust perspective, as we continue to shape our program in the coming years. We are offering the following information sharing and engagement options: * Provide recommendations and comments by completing an online feedback form (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/about_the_survey/program_review_feedback/ <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNjg4NDMxMiZlbWFpbGlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmdXNlcmlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://www.census.gov/acs/www/about_the_survey/program_review_feedback/> ) or filling in a Word Document and sending it to ACS.Program.Review(a)census.gov; * Learn more by visiting our website (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/about_the_survey/acs_program_review/ <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNjg4NDMxMiZlbWFpbGlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmdXNlcmlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&101&&&http://www.census.gov/acs/www/about_the_survey/acs_program_review/> ); or * Ask questions by attending an interactive webinar where we will provide details about the program review. To this email, I have attached the feedback template and the PowerPoint presentation that we will use to facilitate the webinar. Any feedback collected from you by the ACS Program Review Team will be shared with a National Research Council panel, which is conducting an independent review of the ACS program. A member of the ACS Program Review Team will follow up with you shortly to provide logistics on the program review webinar. Thank you in advance for any feedback you wish to provide. * ACS Program Review Briefing Slides 2-21-12.pdf <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNjg4NDMxMiZlbWFpbGlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmdXNlcmlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&102&&&http://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/USCENSUS/2012/02/21/file_attachments/96415/ACS%2BProgram%2BReview%2BBriefing%2BSlides%2B2-21-12.pdf> * ACS Program Review Feedback Form - Word pre-2007.doc <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNjg4NDMxMiZlbWFpbGlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmdXNlcmlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&103&&&http://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/USCENSUS/2012/02/21/file_attachments/96400/ACS%2BProgram%2BReview%2BFeedback%2BForm%2B-%2BWord%2Bpre-2007.doc> * ACS Program Review Feedback Form - Word 2007 .docx <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNjg4NDMxMiZlbWFpbGlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmdXNlcmlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&104&&&http://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/USCENSUS/2012/02/21/file_attachments/96401/ACS%2BProgram%2BReview%2BFeedback%2BForm%2B-%2BWord%2B2007%2B.docx> ________________________________ US Census Bureau <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTIwMjIxLjU3MDc1NjEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNjg4NDMxMiZlbWFpbGlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmdXNlcmlkPXB3ZWluYmVyZ2VyQGFhc2h0by5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&105&&&http://www.census.gov/> Questions?
