Welcome to CSG

The nation’s only nonpartisan, nonprofit organization serving all three branches of government wants to engage with you. Learn more about what programs are offered this year and how you can participate in one of our convenings to build relationships with your fellow state leaders to help advance the common good.

Applications are open — apply or nominate someone for the 2023 CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award. This honor recognizes the outstanding work of 20 up-and-coming elected and appointed officials from across the country who not only exemplify strong leadership skills but have also demonstrated a true commitment to serving the citizens of their state/territory.

The result of a nine-month partnership with the Commonwealth Fund, CSG issued its Long-Term Care Policy Guide. This resource for state policymakers addresses state regulation of long-term services and supports facilities, discusses the direct care workforce and ways to support family caregivers, and looks at how states can optimize ARPA spending for home- and community-based services under Medicaid.
