Participants to meet with government, business leaders

Wilmington, DE – Governor Markell, serving as the 2016 President of The Council of State Governments (CSG), is leading a group to India next week as part of the organization’s work to support and improve policies pursued by state administrations and legislatures. He is joined on the bipartisan delegation by the incoming CSG Chair, Nevada State Senator Kelvin Atkinson. The trip includes visits with India public officials, such as the Chief Ministers of Telangana and Maharashtra, and participation in the U.S.-India Business Council 8th Annual Legal Services Conference, at which Markell will provide remarks.

“As one of the country’s best organization for bringing together state and local leaders to share ideas and advocate for shared national priorities, CSG has an important role to play in figuring out the most effective ways to overcome our challenges,” said Markell. “In an increasingly connected world, these efforts must include engaging with international leaders about the keys for success in the global economy. I’m looking forward to sharing ideas with, and learning from, business and government leaders in our world’s largest democracy, and I’m sure these conversations will improve CSG’s advocacy on behalf of all our communities.”

Founded in 1933, The Council of State Governments is our nation’s only organization serving all three branches of state government. CSG is a region-based forum that fosters the exchange of insights and ideas to help state officials shape public policy. This offers unparalleled regional, national and international opportunities to network, develop leaders, collaborate and create problem-solving partnerships. CSG’s Mission is to champion excellence in state governments to advance the common good.

The Council is funding the Governor’s travel. Markell arrives in India this weekend and will spend just over a week traveling with the delegation across the country.
