A “family of state officials,” CSG champions excellence in state governments to advance the common good
10
Encompassing four regions, 50 states, all three branches of state government and nearly 15,000 members, The Council of State Governments can be described many ways. It’s a convening organization that brings state leaders together to discuss issues of mutual importance. It’s a depository for research on policy topics including education, health care and criminal justice. It’s a mechanism for interstate partnerships and collaborative relationships.
