Email newsletters can be an effective way to communicate with many members of your community at once to encourage them to apply for positions with the Census Bureau.
You can share our newsletter or you can start with the sample copy below and make it your own. Here are a few tips for writing an effective email newsletter:
- Write an attention-grabbing subject line and keep it short.

- Feature a call to action that you want the reader to take.
