About CSG East

The Council of State Governments champions excellence in government and for more than 90 years has convened state officials to consider how best to prepare for what’s next. If the states are laboratories of democracy, then CSG is the incubator for many of the ideas that move our members forward.

As a regional office of The Council of State Governments located in New York City, our purpose is to facilitate the exchange of ideas among policymakers, business leaders, and the academic community throughout our 18 member jurisdictions, including 5 Canadian provinces and the U.S. Territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

We foster discussions and collaboration among officials and staff serving in the region to address the policy priorities unique to the Northeast, offer professional development programs for regional members, and support the development of strong relationships across state and national borders in the region.
