CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – West Virginia Senate President Craig Blair was unanimously elected as the 2023-2024 chair of The Council of State Governments Southern Office (CSG South) on July 11, 2023 at the Southern Legislative Conference in Charleston, South Carolina.
As chair, President Blair will preside over the Executive Committee of CSG South as well as the Southern Legislative Conference through the coming year.
He also will assist in shaping the program for the 78th SLC Annual Meeting, to be held at The Greenbrier in West Virginia in July 2024. The meeting, which is the nation’s largest regional state government forum, is expected to draw more than 1,800 attendees from the South.
“Hosting the Southern Legislative Conference at The Greenbrier in West Virginia will be an amazing opportunity to share West Virginia’s unique history and culture – from the rolling rivers and sounds of the Appalachian Mountains to our deep-rooted American history – everyone will find a home here,” said Blair.
“As we celebrate our rich heritage, this meeting also provides an opportunity to highlight West Virginia’s many successful policies and initiatives and share these ideas with other Southern state policymakers,” Blair said.
West Virginia has previously hosted the meeting three times, most recently in 2012.
Established In 1947, The Council of State Governments Southern Office (CSG South) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that exists to support members in all three branches of state government.
