November 2000
Dear Census 2000 Partner:
I would like to thank you and your organization for your outstanding efforts in making
Census 2000 a success!
In many ways, Census 2000 was unlike any previous census. There were new uses of
technology, new and greatly expanded operations, more customized local and regional
programs, and more encompassing outreach through an unprecedented Partnership Program.
For Census 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau had the distinct pleasure and challenge of working
with more than 140,000 partners—partners whose creative efforts were surpassed only by
their commitment and dedication to their local community and constituents. Thanks to the
hard work of all of our Census 2000 partners, we reversed the trend of declining participation
witnessed in recent censuses, and increased the mail response rate over what we achieved
in 1990.
The scope of this census was vast. At times the task seemed insurmountable and the
challenge overwhelming, but with the help and dedication of governments, businesses,
community, religious, and educational organizations, we are proud to have been a part of
the "Good Census."
Again, I extend a heartfelt thanks to you and your organization for a job well done! Your role
in Census 2000 had a significant impact on our successful data collection, which will in turn
help your community and this country move confidently into the 21 st Century.
Please accept the enclosed Certificate of Appreciation for your service and cooperation as a
token of the Census Bureau's recognition that we could not have done this without you.
Thank you America!
Sincerely,
t ��R
