GULFPORT — Harrison County supervisors are looking for volunteers to serve on the Complete County Committee for the 2010 census.
Traycee Scott-Williams with the Census Bureau spoke to the board Monday and said she needs at least three volunteers from each district to serve on the committee.
The group will be made up of residents from civic groups, governments and churches and other organizations to help get the word out about the census.
“If we don’t get the word out, we won’t have an accurate count when we do the census,” she told the board.
Scott-Williams will hold a 45-minute training session Dec. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Gulfport courthouse for the volunteers. The meeting will be held in the supervisors’ boardroom on the first floor.
The committee will develop and implement an outreach and awareness campaign to let residents in Harrison County know how important it is to fill out the census questionnaire.
Anyone interested in serving on the committee is asked to call 865-4116.
