SOLUTIONS</strong></h4> <p>The <strong>United States of America</strong> is a remarkable tapestry woven from the diverse threads of unique states and territories, each contributing to the rich and intricate fabric of our collective identity. <strong>States and territories</strong> are where innovative ideas and policies are born, and successful policies become beacons of inspiration, demonstrating the power of local solutions to national challenges. <strong>America’s Governors</strong> are the architects of these policies and the custodians of our diverse and vibrant culture.</p> <p>Founded in 1908, the <strong>National Governors Association</strong> (NGA) is the voice of the nation’s Governors and a leading forum for bipartisan policy solutions. Through NGA convenings, programs and task forces, Governors work together across party lines to confront common challenges and shape federal policy. NGA advances bipartisan dialogue, fosters policy innovation, facilitates information-sharing, advocates bipartisan policy priorities, conducts research and data development, and provides technical assistance in support of the leaders of the nation’s 55 states, territories and commonwealths.</p> <div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.nga.org/governors/">Meet the Governors</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="height:35px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column HPGrayBackPost is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="h-let-s-get-ready"><strong>LET’S GET READY</strong></h2> <div class="wp-block-columns HPGrayBackPost is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p>All Americans should have access to education that prepares them for success in life. As the world changes and technology evolves, ensuring all students graduate with the skills and knowledge necessary for success is increasingly critical for our nation’s economic competitiveness. As Governors, we lead states facing economic opportunities but also challenges, shortages in workforce, skills mismatch, and widening opportunity gaps that limit true economic mobility for Americans. We must take these indicators as a call to action.</p> <p>The Let’s Get Ready initiative will support Governors and states to drive innovation, bolster our capacity to measure what works and what doesn’t, and most importantly, prepare our students for successful futures and our economy for greater success.</p> <p><strong>– Colorado Governor Jared Polis, NGA Chair</strong></p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button" href="https://www.nga.org/letsgetready">Learn More</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="400" src="https://www.nga.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GovPolis_Initiative_Announcment.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-65293" srcset="https://www.nga.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GovPolis_Initiative_Announcment.jpg 400w, https://www.nga.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GovPolis_Initiative_Announcment-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.nga.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GovPolis_Initiative_Announcment-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div></div> </div> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> </div> </div> <div style="height:35px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-center-for-best-practices"><strong>Center for Best Practices</strong></h2> <p>Teams from the <a href="https://www.nga.org/bestpractices/"><strong>Center for Best Practices</strong></a> work with state policy leaders and other experts in fostering information sharing between states to research, develop and implement innovative solutions to public policy challenges.
