Council of State Governments selects Newberry as Henry Toll Fellow
Sen. Dan
Newberry is one of 48 state officials from across the country
to be selected by the Council of State Governments (CSG) as a Henry
Toll Fellow for the class of 2014.
The Toll Fellowship Program is one of the nation’s foremost
leadership development programs for state officials. According to
CSG, a nine-member panel of leaders reviewed a record number of
applications to select this year’s class of Toll Fellows.
“The Toll Fellowship has cultivated a number of top legislative
leaders, and will provide officials with the tools to encourage
job growth and advance individual liberty,” said Newberry,
R-Tulsa. “I look forward to joining officials from across
the country to examine how we can be more effective leaders and
public servants.”
Each year, the Toll Fellowship brings together 48 of the nation’s
top rising officials from all three branches of state government
for a six-day program of extensive education and training. Four
current governors, four lieutenant governors and six members of
Congress are Toll Fellows alumni.
“This program has a long-established record of providing its
participants with the skills they need to more productively address
the issues faced by their respective states,” said Newberry.
“I am humbled and grateful to have been chosen for this unique
opportunity.”
