Along with the seven BILLD alumni, this year’s Toll Fellows Class for the Midwest includes Minnesota Sen.

Named in honor of Henry Wolcott Toll, the Colorado state senator who founded The Council of State Governments in 1933, Toll Fellows is one of the nation’s premier leadership development programs for state government officials.

Each year, a select group of the nation’s top officials and emerging leaders from all three branches of state government take part in Toll’s intensive five-day “leadership boot camp.” Sessions are designed to stimulate personal assessment and growth, while providing priceless networking and relationship-building opportunities.

This year’s Toll program included participation from 48 state officials and was held in September in Lexington, Kentucky. Participants will graduate at CSG’s National Conference, Dec. 4-7, in New Orleans.
