* recognize and evaluate federal, state, local and private sector demographic data resources;

* share data resources and evaluate issues of demographic data accessibility; and

* identify issues that hinder and enable effective demographic data collection and analysis.

This workshop draws together experts in demography, key policy makers and administrators of the U.S. Bureau of the Census and individuals who utilize new and innovative demographic techniques in their professional endeavors.
