CSG-WEST joined the Wyoming Legislature as a co-sponsor of the Western States Energy and Environment Symposium (WSEES) convened October 25-27, 2009 in Jackson, Wyoming. Authorized by legislation adopted by the Wyoming legislature, the symposium brought together legislative leaders and energy committee chairs from all 13 western states to discuss and identify the West's energy future. One of the out-boxes for the final report will be the CSG-WEST Energy and Environment Committee.
