Having served as the Gateway City for the westward expansion and first North American city to host the Olympics, St. Louis is proud to host more than 1,300 state legislative leaders, lawmakers, staff and others for what promises to be a very special SLC Annual Meeting. Policy sessions feature nationally recognized experts on critical topics for the Southern region. Several of our state government leaders will discuss successes of the Show-Me State on aging inmate populations, mental health services for youth and economic devel- opment strategies. Further dialogue on existing and emerging state government innovations and solutions continue a tradition of excel- lence that has established the Annual Meeting as the best attended and most anticipated regional meeting of state legislators and staff. Our dedicated Host State Committee and coordinators have arranged many outstanding events that embody the rich history, world-class sports teams and amazing culture of the Show-Me State. Our opening event at Ballpark Village is complete with appearances from former professional athletes. Family night at the Saint Louis Zoo – voted America’s top free attraction and the best zoo in the United States – welcomes the SLC family to an evening of adventure. While in our great state, you will experience the Southern hospital- ity of our community of legislators, legislative staff and volunteers. For many, the Gateway City has served as a starting point for adven- ture and opportunity, and I am confident you will find it the same.

  • Quarterly Cannabis Report
    News April 22, 2021 Quarterly Cannabis Report The 117th Congress is shaping up to be the year for cannabis reform. As of April 2021, 47 states, four U.S. territories and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis, recreational cannabis or both. Many of these efforts can be contributed to Steve Fox, a true pioneer of the legalization movement. Fox, managing partner of VS Strategies, and godfather of the industry, paved the path for nationwide legalization efforts and was instrumental in cannabis reform throughout the country for decades. He was one of the first to politically advocate on behalf of medical and recreational cannabis legalization, advance decriminalization measures and promote reform and social justice. As an educator and leader, Fox will be remembered for his wisdom, knowledge and kindness, and his voice, perspective and presence will be dearly missed. VS Strategies welcome the celebration of Fox’s life through the sharing of thoughts and memories, and asks for respect and privacy for his family, friends and co-workers who are still reeling from this loss.
