State Rep. Rob Taylor has been selected for the Henry Toll Fellowship program, a premier leadership development program of the Council of State Governments. Taylor, a legislator from West Des Moines representing District 44, is among 48 leaders selected for the Class of 2016 who are from 29 states, Puerto Rico and Guam and represent all three branches of state government. A 12-member committee of state leaders, many who are Toll Fellows themselves, reviewed applications and selected the class. For 30 years, the Toll Fellowship program, named for CSG founder Henry Wolcott Toll, has convened a group of the nation’s top state officials for an intensive, six-day intellectual boot camp. This year’s program will be held Aug. 26-31 in Lexington, Ky.
