Shaping Texas
for Tomorrow

Angela Broyles is Founding Executive Director of the newly formed Texas Census Institute. Angela’s idea for the Texas Census Institute grew out of her work on the 2019 Texas Counts campaign, a collaboration between Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) and Every Texan. The result was strategic, coordinated support to count every Texan in the 2020 Census and ensure the state received the funding, congressional representation and data needed to support its growing population.

The Texas Census Institute will work at the state, regional, and local levels to help the decennial census (every 10 years) and the American Community Survey (ACS) (every year) improve the accuracy of their count, share best practices, develop resources and increase public awareness on the most effective ways to ensure every Texan counts.
