Lt. Gov. John Rodgers will serve on the executive committee of the National Lieutenant Governors Association after being elected at the association’s annual meeting earlier this month.
The National Lieutenant Governors Association is a bipartisan organization fostering collaboration between seconds-in-command in states across the country.
“I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to serve in a national leadership role with NLGA, where I can participate in the exchange of ideas and solutions to the shared challenges we face in the states and territories,” Rodgers said in a press release announcing his role.
South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, a Republican, was elected chair, according to the NLGA’s Facebook page. Kentucky Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman, a Democrat, is chair-elect.
A plane maintenance issue kept Rodgers from attending the association’s annual meeting in Lake Tahoe, according to James Ehlers, the lieutenant governor’s chief of staff. Rodgers intended to deliver a presentation on workforce development, and he now plans to attend the association’s winter meeting this December, Ehlers wrote in an email.
