Dear Nonprofit Leaders,

I hope you are having a productive week! I'm writing to share several items of interest.

#PGCensus2020: Workshop and Ambassador Training

Prince George's County is hard at work preparing to ensure every person is counted in the 2020 Census. This Saturday, September 21st, the Complete Count Committee and my office are hosting a workshop to foster new partnerships, identify census challenges, and identify strategies to ensure all are represented in the count. I hope you will consider participating.

Space is limited! Refreshments will be provided. 

Please register here .

5th Annual Parkdale High School College & Career Fair 

If your organization provides support for workforce training, college applications, financial aid, etc., please consider hosting a table at my 5th Annual Parkdale High School College and Career Fair. 

In addition, I have a special request this year.  Recruiters are slow in responding and I'm looking for volunteers to attend and represent their alma mater or employer. 

Please contact Alesha Wilson  [email protected] to reserve your spot!
