As community members I think lawmakers are always looking for ways to give back. The Henry Toll Fellows I have worked alongside have always had a sharpened sense of how to do that.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since 1986, CSG has annually convened a new class of CSG Henry Toll Fellows at its national headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky, for an intensive leadership boot camp.

While each cohort begins their journey with us in Lexington, the relationships and connections are forged for life,\u201d said Lorna Patches, CSG director of leadership development. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to growing the Toll Fellowship community.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are over 1,400 graduates of the Toll Fellowship, including four sitting state\/territorial house speakers, eight sitting state supreme court justices, 10 sitting members of Congress, three sitting governors and more than 200 Toll alumni currently serving as state\/territorial legislators.
