The resolution commends The Council of State Governments Southern Office (CSG South) for its role as a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that supports Southern legislatures across 15 states. CSG South facilitates regional cooperation and information exchange among legislators and government staff through various programs and services. Governed by an executive committee and six standing policy committees, the organization aims to connect, inform, inspire, and empower public servants in state government to implement effective ideas and solutions.

Additionally, the resolution highlights the significance of the Southern Legislative Conference, which has been convened for 77 years, fostering collaboration among Southern states. The upcoming 78th conference is scheduled to take place in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, from July 21 to 25, 2024, where over 1,500 legislators, government staff, and their families will gather to address policy issues relevant to the region. The resolution expresses appreciation for CSG South's efforts in organizing this annual event and encourages participation from all Southern legislative, executive, and judicial officials.
