It’s been a busy few weeks since my swearing-in as the 26th director of the U.S. Census Bureau! I’ve enjoyed a four-week tenure and continue to be in “learning mode.” There is so much to know about the Census Bureau, our work with a multitude of stakeholders and clients, and, ultimately, how we achieve a laudable level of excellence in pursuing our mission. I can’t help but smile as I meet employees and hear their stories, experience firsthand the depth and breadth of their expertise, and reflect on how fortunate we are in maintaining and growing a deep bench of professional expertise and leadership.
