CSG ERC

Welcome to the 59th CSG/ERC Annual Meeting!

The theme of the 2019 CSG/ERC Annual Meeting is Healthy States. The Annual Meeting’s agenda will address the concept of health across a wide range of topics, including issues such as maternal health, and the social determinants of health, strengthening workforce development programs essential to healthy state economies, and the fiscal health of our states. We will also explore why some communities in our region are thriving while others are not and address what states are doing to combat issues such as addiction and mental illness.

CSG/ERC’s Annual Meeting and Regional Policy Forum is the largest gathering of state and Canadian provincial government leaders in the East, attracting several hundred state and provincial officials from all three branches of government. This unique forum brings state and provincial policy makers together with business leaders and policy experts, in a non-partisan environment, to share ideas and discuss new approaches to the most vexing public policy issues facing the entire region.

Please join us and your colleagues around the CSG eastern region, as ERC’s policy committees–including our Committees on Agriculture and Rural Development, Canada/US relations, Energy and Environment, Education, Health, Military and Veterans’ affairs, and Transportation, along with the ERC Communities of Color and Task Force on Territorial Relations, discuss issues of critical importance to the region.
