Legislative Exchange Series
The ability of state officials to engage with one another to exchange insights and experiences is a fundamental element in the development of regional solutions and strengthening of legislative institutions. Through the Legislative Exchange Series, legislators and legislative staff can participate in virtual gatherings focused on development training and policy issues affecting the Western region. Complimenting the work of CSG West’s policy committees and programs, the series will provide insightful and interactive sessions supporting the work of our members. Sessions are free and registration information is below.
