Angelo Falcon Selected for Census Bureau’s Hispanic Advisory Committee

Angelo Falcon, the president and co-founder of the National Institute for Latino Policy, has been selected by Secretary of Commerce Carlos M. Gutierrez to serve on the U.S. Census Bureau’s Advisory Committee on the Hispanic population.

As a member of the nine-person committee, the New York City resident will advise the Census Bureau on the new American Community Survey and ways to achieve a more accurate count of the Hispanic population in the 2010 Census.

“The Race and Ethnic Advisory Committees play a vital role in ensuring that we make the best effort possible to reach race and ethnic groups, not only during the 2010 Census, but also the American Community Survey that is conducted throughout the decade,” Census Bureau Director Steve H. Murdock said.”*
