The Western Governors’ Association is proud to celebrate its 40th Anniversary in 2024. The Governors’ commitment to collaboration over the last four decades has kept the promise of bipartisanship alive and shown us just how much we can accomplish when we work together. As we reflect, we’re also looking towards the future and how we can continue to build upon this legacy for the next 40 years.
“The American West is a special place, with unique challenges and opportunities that transcend partisanship. Western Governors Association is an invaluable resource to develop policy solutions and bring Governors together to address critical regional priorities. I know my time with WGA helped me serve the people of Colorado better, and I appreciate all the work we did together, Republicans and Democrats, on behalf of citizens across the West.”
- Former Colorado Governor Bill Owens (2005 Chair)
The Western Governors' Association celebrated its 40th anniversary by hosting an afternoon of programming, including fireside chats with current and former Western Governors, as well as other WGA alumni.
