Welcome to CSG
Named for CSG founder Henry Wolcott Toll, this leadership development opportunity is one of the nation’s premier programs for state government officials. Each year, the Toll Fellowship brings 48 of the nation’s top officials from all three branches of government to Lexington, Kentucky, for an intensive, five-day leadership boot camp designed to stimulate personal assessment and growth while providing networking and relationship-building opportunities.
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.
