Mission
Statement for SEMCC
We believe that...
 | Demographic and
related statistics are an important tool for planning and decision-making
at all levels of society. |
| Public data should
be accessible to all without artificial restraints imposed by medium
of distribution or cost. |
| Data should be
accurate, timely, and accessible to users. |
| A network of data
professionals enhances generation, distribution and usage of data. |
| We can accomplish
more through sharing and cooperation than we can accomplish alone. |
Therefore, our
mission is to promote Southeast Michigan demographic and related statistics
and facilitate their use to enhance the area's social and economic welfare
through:
| Promoting collaboration,
cooperation and networking between organizations, |
| Identifying data
issue and data gaps and encouraging creative approaches to address
them, |
| Providing objective
forums for the discussion of data issues, |
| Representing/advocating
local public data users' interests at the federal, state, regional
and local levels, |
| Assuring knowledge
of, availability and access to public data, |
| and Serving as
the Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint CMSA* Statistical Areas Committee for
the U.S. Bureau of the Census. |
*Defined in 1993
as Genesee, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St.
Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne Counties.
