Critical Minerals & the Midwest: Policy Workshop for Legislators
The Midwest’s state and provincial legislators are invited to secure a spot in this workshop, which aims to deepen their understanding of the importance of critical minerals to the region and the role of public policy. The event is being held Nov. 14-15 in Chicago. Participating legislators will be eligible for a travel scholarship. Registration and travel scholarships will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis for this space-limited workshop.
Two committees of The Council of State Governments’ Midwestern Legislative Conference, Midwest-Canada Relations and Energy & Environment, are hosting the workshop in conjunction with the Consulate General of Canada in Chicago.
During this one-and-a-half-day workshop, participants will gain an understanding about critical minerals, their end uses, the importance of regional supply chains, and related public policies. The event will take place at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North. Legislators will be joined at the workshop by leading experts on critical minerals from organizations such as the U.S. Geological Survey, the Illinois State Geological Survey, the Critical Minerals Institute and the Rocky Mountain Institute.
There is no registration fee for legislative attendees, who also will receive a travel scholarship/stipend to cover some or all of their travel-related expenses. Please contact CSG Midwest’s Mitch Arvidson to learn about the travel scholarship/stipend.
Space is limited and registrations will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. Hotel reservations can be made by calling (800) 564-7732 or using this group link.
