***Serving the Federal Statistical Community Since 1981***

COPAFS’ role is to act as the advocate for the development and dissemination of high-quality federal statistics.  COPAFS is an important intermediary between the federal statistical agencies and the users of information produced by these agencies.  Through COPAFS, members have an opportunity to review and have an impact on issues including timeliness, quality confidentiality, and the relevance of data.
