The National Governors Association (NGA) is a bipartisan organization that brings together the governors of the 50 U.S. states and territories. Founded in 1908, its main goal is to provide a platform for governors to collaborate on important issues, share best practices, and advocate for state interests at the national level. The NGA helps governors address challenges like education, healthcare, and economic development. Through meetings, conferences, and research, the NGA supports governors in their efforts to improve the lives of their constituents. It also plays a crucial role in shaping policies that affect states, ensuring that the voices of state leaders are heard in discussions with the federal government and other stakeholders.
