Objectives and Duties
1. The Committee will review and provide feedback related to 2030

respond.

things, implications of enumeration strategies, including use of

stakeholder support efforts throughout the decade, new technologies,
social media and marketing, the role of tribal, state, and local
governments, and the outreach and mobilization needs of historically
undercounted populations.
3. The Committee may advise and provide recommendations on external
factors and policies that may affect 2030 Census plans.
4. The Committee may advise the Census Bureau on communicating with
the public to ensure maximum self-

5. The Committee may devise and recommend strategies to increase

This may include recommendations on how to capture broader community
perspectives.
9. The Committee will provide insight, perspectives, and expertise
through recommendations on planning and implementation of the 2030
Census to advise the Census Bureau in conducting an accurate decennial
census. The Committee will provide the Director of the Census Bureau
periodic updates on insights regarding various topics relating to
preparation for the 2030 Census.
10. The committee will function solely as an advisory body and
shall fully comply with the provisions of FACA.
Membership
1. The Committee will consist of up to approximately 30 members
representing stakeholder organizations, groups, interests, and
viewpoints. Members will be appointed by and serve at the discretion of
the Director of the Census Bureau.
2. Members will be selected on a standardized basis, in accordance
with applicable Department of Commerce guidance. Members will be
selected from the public and private sectors and will have experience
as well as expertise in census and survey matters, including but not
limited to: historically undercounted populations; national, state,
local, and tribal areas; redistricting including interactions with
state officials and redistricting experts; international and national
statistics; geospatial information; census involvement and needs of
community-based organizations and academia; the business and technology
sectors; and marketing and media sectors. Members serve as
representatives of their respective group or viewpoint and are not
Special Government Employees (SGEs) as defined in title 18 of United
States Code, section 202(a).
3. Persons seated on other Census Bureau stakeholder entities
(i.e., State Data Centers, Census Information Centers, Federal State
Cooperative on Populations Estimates program, or other Census Bureau
advisory committees, etc.) may not serve on the Committee.
4. The Director of the Census Bureau will appoint the Committee
Chair and Vice Chair from among the membership to one-year terms. The
Chair and Vice Chair may be appointed for additional one-year terms.

Committee Chair or Vice Chair, the member may fulfill any remaining
membership term(s) at the discretion of the Director of the Census
Bureau.
5. Members generally will serve an initial three-year term. All
members will be reevaluated at the conclusion of their initial term
with the prospect of renewal, pending advisory committee and 2030
Census needs. Active attendance and participation in meetings and
activities (i.e., conference calls, administrative matters, and
assignments) will be factors considered when determining term renewal
or membership continuance. Members may be appointed for a second,
three-year term at the discretion of the Director of the Census Bureau.
6. The Committee aims to have a balanced representation among its
members, considering such factors as geography, technical expertise,
community involvement, and knowledge of census programs and/or
activities. The diverse membership of the Committee assures
perspectives and expertise reflecting the breadth of the Committee's
responsibilities, and, where possible, the Census Bureau will also
consider the ethnic, racial, and gender diversity and various abilities
of the United States population.
7. Members shall not reference or otherwise utilize their
membership on the Committee in connection with public statements made
in their personal capacities without a disclaimer that the views
