The National Governors Association (NGA) on Wednesday announced its new executive committee for 2020-2021, with Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) becoming chair of the association that represents the 55 leaders of all American states and territories.
Members of the executive committee were elected during the NGA summer meeting, which was held in a virtual format this year.
Governor Kay Ivey (R-AL) was one of the governors elected to the nine-member executive committee.
“I’m honored to have been elected to serve on the [NGA] Executive Committee for 2020-21,” Ivey said in a Wednesday tweet. “I look forward to working with my fellow governors to develop initiatives & policies to support our country now & in the future.”
The NGA recently highlighted Alabama’s workforce development efforts under the Ivey administration as a model for other states to emulate.
Ivey assumed the governor’s office on April 10, 2017. In November 2018, she was elected to her first full term as Alabama’s chief executive. That term will expire in January 2023. Ivey could seek reelection in 2022.
