Representative Paris to be Recognized by the Council of State Governments
November 9, 2023
The Council of State Governments has selected State Representative Corey Paris as a 2023 recipient of the 20 Under 40 Leadership Award.
The CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award annually recognizes the outstanding work of 20 up-and-coming elected and appointed officials from across the country who not only exemplify strong leadership skills but have also demonstrated a true commitment to serving the citizens of their state.
"While the outstanding state officials recognized by CSG this year come from diverse backgrounds, different political parties, every branch of state government, and every region of our country, they share the same commitment to serve others," said David Adkins, CSG executive director/CEO. "They are hard-working, visionary leaders whose passion for public service is producing results for their states. I marvel at all they have achieved, and I look forward to watching their impact grow even greater in the years ahead."
Representative Paris was selected because of his commitment to public service, ability to engage with officials across party lines, and exceptional leadership.
"I'm deeply honored to receive the 20 Under 40 Leadership Award from the Council of State Governments. This recognition emphasizes the importance of servant leadership, and I'm committed to continuing to serve the people of Connecticut with dedication and passion. Our state's future is bright, and I look forward to working tirelessly with my colleagues for the betterment of all residents. Thank you to CSG for this prestigious award and to the people of Connecticut for your support." said Representative Paris.
"We are honored to highlight the important work of this year's 20 Under 40 class members supporting the citizens of their states," said Lorna Patches, CSG deputy director of membership engagement and leadership development. "Their efforts serve as inspiration for leaders across the nation."
Representative Paris will receive the 20 Under 40 Leadership Award at the 2023 CSG National Conference this December in Raleigh, North Carolina.
