NGA Partners
The mission of NGA Partners is to empower solutions to public policy challenges between governors and the private sector, while promoting bipartisanship and thoughtful, diverse leadership. We believe state-based innovation and inclusion drive meaningful change across the nation. We are dedicated to sharing emerging trends and bolstering communication and collaboration. NGA Partners have unique opportunities to demonstrate their commitment to governors and support their leadership in solving the challenges facing state government.
A Powerful Solutions Network
Collaboration with our private sector partners is invaluable in helping NGA provide governors with critical information and real-world solutions that work. Partner organizations and their executives are well positioned to contribute business expertise and policy perspectives as well as share state government success stories.
