LEADING THE WEST
CSG West extends congratulations to CSG West Chair, Utah Senator J. Stuart Adams, and CSG & CSG West Past Chair, Nevada Senator Kelvin Atkinson, on their recent election to state leadership roles. In the upcoming 2019 legislative session, Senator Adams will take the reigns as the Utah Senate President while Senator Atkinson steps into the role of Senate Majority Leader in Nevada. We look forward to our continued work together and wish them both much success in their new roles.


Border Region
THE U.S. - MEXICO BORDER REGION

Every U.S. and Mexico border state are unique in its terrain, climate, culture, demographics and legislative structures. To facilitate a better understanding of the unique nature of the region and the states included in it, CSG West has collected data on key points of interest to illustrate the commonalities and unique differences of the border region.

The infographic below shows an overview of the data collected, but to gather a more accurate understanding of the context and legislature within each state, every two weeks the CSG West Regional Roundup will publish a piece, focusing exclusively on each  U.S. - Mexico border state.

INTERNATIONAL VISITOR LEADERSHIP PROGRAM VISITS CSG WEST

On Thursday, November 8, CSG West was honored to host a group of seven professionals from East Asia and the Pacific Region. The visitors were invited to the United States under the auspices of the United States Department of State on a three-week International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) that examined U.S. Federalism and Democracy.
 
The meeting in the Sacramento, California office of CSG West was requested on their behalf by the Northern California World Trade Center (NorCal WTC). NorCal WTC's mission is focused on growing trade and connecting leaders across the globe. They help companies develop their international business through education, resources and fostering international diplomacy by connecting leaders from around the world with their counterparts in Northern California.
