The term "New England Governors" refers to the elected leaders of the six states in the New England region of the United States: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Each governor serves as the head of the state government, responsible for implementing state laws, overseeing the executive branch, and representing their state in various capacities. New England governors often collaborate on regional issues, such as environmental policies, economic development, and public health. They may participate in meetings and conferences to address common challenges and share best practices, fostering cooperation among the states in this historically significant region.
