Proven Experience

Over four decades, the Center has worked with scores of communities throughout Illinois and portions of Wisconsin, Iowa and Indiana.

Prepared for Success

We know first-hand that this part of the American Heartland has significant assets that can produce long-lasting success in the 21st century global, knowledge economy.

Ready for Growth

Our region has many assets on which to build, including our excellent regional transportation and telecommunication systems, a well-educated and diverse population of more than 11 million people, entrepreneurial businesses and financial organizations that produce hundreds of billions in Gross Domestic Product annually, world-class institutions devoted to science and technology, and metropolitan Chicago’s global economic engines.

A Call to Action

In honor of our 40th anniversary, the Center for Governmental Studies (CGS) is inviting 180 leaders to attend a unique gathering that will identify priorities and actions that we can pursue together to help bring prosperity back to America’s Heartland.

The Center for Governmental Studies is celebrating our 40th anniversary. Rather than throwing a party for ourselves, we've decided to develop a list of 40 ways we plan to give back this year.
