Complete Count Committee

Meet the committee

In summer of 2018, the City of San Antonio held stakeholder meetings to begin developing strategies to reach all our residents in the 2020 census, and especially those who have historically been undercounted. One strategy was to establish a Complete Count Committee, supported by both the City of San Antonio and Bexar County. The Committee is charged with obtaining an accurate and complete population count for San Antonio and Bexar County by educating residents on why the census is important, and motivating them respond to the 2020 Census.

Co-Chairs

The Co-Chairs facilitate the planning and implementation of the Committee’s outreach and engagement strategies at all levels, coordinate efforts between the Committee and the U.S. Census Bureau, and communicate the efforts of the Committee to the public.
