Governor Kelly Armstrong and First Lady Kjersti Armstrong are set to attend the National Governors Association (NGA) Winter Meeting from Thursday to Saturday in Washington, D.C. The governor will engage in discussions on various topics and participate in a business session at the White House with Cabinet members and President Donald Trump.

"I’m looking forward to meeting with fellow governors to share North Dakota’s success story and learn about what’s working in other states," said Armstrong, who assumed office on December 15. "Kjersti and I appreciate NGA for providing a forum for these discussions with other governors about our common challenges and how we can work with other states and the White House to strengthen North Dakota and our nation."

The sessions will cover innovative approaches to workforce challenges, border security, efforts against fentanyl trafficking, support for military personnel and their families, food security, and education.

The NGA Winter Meeting is one of two annual gatherings of this bipartisan association representing governors from all 50 states and five U.S. territories.
