Oklahoma governor named NGA chair
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin officially became chair of the National Governors Association today during the closing session of the NGA Summer Meeting. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper was named vice chair.
New NGA Chair Announces Yearlong Initiative:
- Engaging education, business and government leaders in a dialogue about what governors can do to more closely align K-12, universities, community and technical colleges and workforce training providers with future labor demands; and
- Supporting governors and their staff in using data and information to identify states’ future labor demands, prioritize changes in state education and workforce training systems to meet those demands and take action to achieve desired results.
