Summit of the States on Interstate Cooperation June 1-2, 2006 The Council of State Governments (CSG) hosted the first ever Summit of States on Interstate Cooperation June 1-2, 2006 at the Westin Hotel in Cincinnati. The summit convened with 90 high-ranking state officials from around the country, representing more than 30 states and jurisdictions. Hosted by former CSG Chair and Ohio State Sen. Stan Aronoff, the two-day summit continued CSG’s tradition of bridging policy gaps between the states and facilitating the development of interstate solutions to increasingly interdependent issues. An outgrowth of CSG’s National Center for Interstate Compacts, the summit was a watershed event promoting the tenets of interstate agreements and gathering together key stakeholders from around the country to discuss the future of interstate cooperation. In addition, the two-day program was approved for Continuing Legal Education credits (CLE) by Indiana (7.0 hours), Kentucky (7.0 hours) and Ohio (9.75 hours).
