I am super proud as the aging Father and ex-Federal employee
of Ditas Katague with this news today. She will be moving to Washington
DC in the end of June to work for the Federal Government. This is her SES
dream job. Of course her pet dog, Leif will be moving with her as well
as Carenna. Carenna will be enrolling at the Elliot School of
International Affairs, George Washington University. I will miss their
frequent personal visits but we could always text or video call using my
new cell phone with the What's App application that Ditas recently downloaded.
Again, my congratulations! A very, very proud father, indeed!
Here's the official announcement:

Subject: Staff Announcement: Ditas Katague, Associate Director for Communications
To:
All Staff
From the Desk of Robert L. Santos, Director . . .
I am pleased to welcome Ditas Katague to the U.S. Census Bureau as the new Associate Director for Communications. Ditas will lead the internal and external communications activities, including media relations, congressional and intergovernmental affairs, customer service, internal communications, stakeholder engagement, and web and new media services.
Prior to joining the Census Bureau in 2022, Ditas was director of the California Complete Count – Census 2020 Office, the outreach and communications campaign that worked to ensure a complete population count of historically undercounted Californians. This built on her experience leading the state’s decennial census outreach efforts in 2000 and 2010. In 2000, as chief deputy campaign director for the Governor’s Census 2000 California Complete Count campaign, she led a groundbreaking multilingual, multimedia outreach effort that resulted in a mail-in return rate that outpaced the national rate. She also served as chief of staff to the California Public Utilities Commission, where she improved public participation and access to the energy and telecommunications utility rate and regulation process.
Ditas also served on the Census Bureau National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic, and Other Populations from 2012 to 2018, including three years as its chair.
Ditas is an expert in multiethnic outreach and civic engagement. Since 1998, she has served on the Sacramento Center Advisory Board for the Sol Price School of Public Policy, University of Southern California. She holds an M.P.A. from the University of Southern California and a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley.
Please join me in welcoming Ditas and thanking her for being willing to serve the Census Bureau and our country.
