Come Together with CSG

Throughout the year, CSG convenes state leaders from across the United States, U.S. territories and Canada to discuss policy issues and other topics that impact multiple states. This is done in a nonpartisan environment offering opportunities to network, develop leaders, collaborate and create problemsolving partnerships. Hear from CSG members across the country on what they find most valuable about these annual CSG meetings.

I’m looking forward to bringing not only some of the takeaways from states that have implemented cannabis-related policies, but also recycling technologies and some of the different HIV transmission prevention strategies that have successfully been implemented in other states so that we can see how they can work in Florida.”

Rep. Carlos G. Smith, Florida

We have encouraged our students to go to college for years, and that is great, but there are a number of kids who don’t feel college is their pathway forward to a successful career. I’m hoping I gain some information to help me with legislation to not necessarily totally change the narrative, but to bridge that gap between the kids that have gone to college and those who do not plan to go to college to make sure that all of the kids in my community have a pathway to a career.”

Assemblywoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno, assistant majority leader, Nevada

I’ve been able to talk to real, experienced legislators about some of the things going on. It is always easy and great to look at data and talk to experts, but it has been interesting to get the feedback from people who have been working on these policies and to get that background in the different dynamics of the states that have been successful and the different paths they’ve been able to be successful.” The reporting back from the task forces are the most valuable. I’ve been fortunate enough to serve on the subcommittees of some of the CSG National Task Forces, and it is always great to meet folks and hear what they are doing in their states.”

If you want to be up to date with what is happening in state government, CSG is your best resource. It provides legislators with the opportunity to get to know and work with leaders in their region and across the country.”
