Municipal Complete Count Committee • A Municipal Complete Count Committee is a mutually beneficial partnership – at the highest level—within each city. The mayor often appoints members of the Complete Count Committee (CCC). Committees consist of influential community leaders who are charged with developing a census awareness campaign that: – Communicates the importance of the census through local messaging. Raises awareness of the census throughout the city. Motivates every household in the city to participate in the census by completing the questionnaire thoroughly and in a timely manner. – Increases the city’s self-response rate. – – • The size of the Complete Count Committee is determined by each city. In addition, mayors and city councils may allocate funding to support the activities of the CCC. Cities view this funding as a sound investment in the future. Failure to count residents could result in a substantial loss of revenue for the next decade. 25
