The Local Demographic Analysis Workshop is designed for human service

would 
like to easily look up and analyze demographic data. This workshop

exercises
and

The materials were excellent and what I liked best about the course was
that it 
was hands on.  The class was very helpful and useful.

I like that the class was not generic, that it was tailored to our
specific
community.
