A bipartisan group of state legislators from the Midwest has been selected to take part in a one-of-a-kind leadership program — the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development (BILLD).
The program will be held Aug. 27-31, in Madison, Wis., marking the 27th year in which CSG Midwest’s Midwestern Legislative Conference has offered leadership training to its members: legislators from 11 states in this region as well as from the MLC’s four Canadian provincial members and affiliates.
BILLD is designed for legislators in their first four years of service. Selections were made in May by the BILLD Steering Committee, a bipartisan group of legislators from all 11 Midwestern states.
Here is the list of legislators chosen to receive a 2022 BILLD Fellowship.
