ATLANTA - State Representative Beth Camp (R-Concord), chair of the House Judiciary Juvenile Committee, was recently appointed by House Speaker Jon Burns (R-Newington) to serve on the Executive Committee of The Council of State Governments Southern Office (CSG South) for a two-year term, ending December 31, 2027.

"I am honored to join the Executive Committee of CSG South and to collaborate with leaders from across the region," said Chairlady Camp.
