The National Governors Association (NGA) is an American political organization founded in 1908. The association's 55 members are the governors of the 50 states, 5 federal territories and commonwealths. Members come from across the political spectrum.
The NGA serves as a public policy liaison between state governments and the federal government. NGA provides governors and their senior staff members with services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and at the White House when discussing federal issues to developing policy reports on state programs and hosting networking seminars for state executive branch officials. The NGA Center for Best Practices focuses on state innovations and best practices on issues that range from education and health to technology, welfare reform, and the environment. NGA also provides management and technical assistance to both new and incumbent governors.
The current NGA chair is Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, a Republican. The current vice chair is Governor Wes Moore of Maryland, a Democrat.
