The Council of State Governments (CSG), is the Nation’s only regionally based, multi-branch organization serving all 50 states, commonwealths, and U.S. territories. For more than 85 years, CSG has been an impartial source of information to help state officials meet the challenges of governing and legislating and fosters discussion and collaboration throughout the region.

The CSG Eastern Regional Conference (CSG East) office, located in New York City, serves legislative, executive, and judicial branch officials from Maine to Maryland, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the eastern Canadian provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

Each year CSG East hosts its Annual Meeting and Regional Policy Forum throughout its 18-member jurisdictions. The Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of state officials in the East. Manchester, New Hampshire is the site for CSG East’s 61st Annual Meeting, August 13-17. All CSG East’s administrative and policy committees will meet. There will be sessions on a range of important, timely policy issues facing the region. This unique event enables attendees to share ideas, network and serves as a vehicle for enhanced regional cooperation and communication. In addition, there are 2 full, days of activities for the adult and child guests during the Annual Meeting.
