EVENTS / RESOURCES

The MGA provides a forum for the exchange of information by sponsoring periodic meetings and regularly producing publications that keep the governors and their staffs in touch with news from our region and the nation's capital. Annual meetings of the governors were first held in 1962, and since then the MGA has also organized special summits and regional roundtables devoted to issues impacting the Midwest.
