CSG Associates

CSG Associates Program


CSG has long believed private sector involvement in the American governance system is critical in formulating sound solutions to public policy challenges.   The CSG Associates Program facilitates this interaction by engaging government affairs professionals in the Council’s program and policy work, its national and regional conferences, and its information network. CSG Associates bring their perspectives to the Council’s state trends identification and analysis process and make significant contributions to its meetings and international exchanges.
