REMINDER!
SAVE THE DATE: Thursday, September 15, 2011 is the date of this year’s DV Counts: National Census of Domestic Violence Services.
As we prepare for this year’s census, we want to offer a heartfelt thanks to the 1,746 programs across the states and territories who made last year’s count the most successful ever with a 91% national participation rate! Please help us continue to show the incredible work advocates do every day by participating again this year.
INFORMATION CALLS
We invite you to join us for one of 2 free conference calls for DV program—information shared on all the calls will be the same. Each call will cover the same information, last 30 minutes, and each will be held at 3pm Eastern Time on:
· Wednesday September 7th
· Tuesday, September 13th
To join, please register at www.nnedv.org/CensusCalls
Note – Participation in these calls is not required to participate in the census. The calls are offered to provide an overview of the process and answer frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to participate is attached–the packet contains a short survey form,definitions, and frequently asked questions. We’ve gone green this year, so instead of being sent via postal mail, the packet will be available on our website: www.nnedv.org Please save or print the attached packet so that you have a copy to tally your results before inputting them into the web-based data entry system.
NEXT STEPS
(1) Review the survey packet and email census@nnedv.org or call 443-650-8588 if you have questions.
(2) Identify who will be responsible for collecting the information and who will enter the information online.
(3) Discuss how your agency will count the number of people served and who will be responsible for collecting the counts during the 24-hour period.
