As a nascent former director, please know that I feel your pain. And in all honestly, stormy weather lies ahead.
You are leaders in providing quality statistical data about our nation's people and economy and do this exceptionally well.
You demonstrated to the world that a quality decennial census could be conducted in the midst of a deadly global pandemic.
The bonds of colleagueship run deep at the Bureau and are a great source of strength.
