September is here, and RSM is back on its bi-weekly schedule! Get ready for fall with insights on prepping for 2024, fresh state metrics nearing the $1 billion milestone, key state updates, best practices, Hot Sauce, cool finds, and a standout Pic of the Week. Dive in!

We gave you a lot to think about in our last edition – with focus areas ranging across the spaces of legislative advocacy, financial expertise, and tech innovation. And we promised you a little bit more.

With the nip of fall in the air, we are looking forward. It’s conference season, so we’ll see you out and about. And as you are sharing social moments with colleagues, thinking creatively about the future, we’ve got you covered.

Have we been taking it easy this summer, enjoying the lazy days of sunshine and vines? Yes, we have. It’s the legislative off season for many in the state and federal systems, and a time of project management and breath-catching for those working in the private sector and policy space.

And it’s also a good time to turn our attention to 2024. Yes, 2024. If you want to think about the future in a relaxed way, it needs to be in the future.
