“I am honored to have been selected to help lead the National Lieutenant Governors Association,” said Reynolds. “Iowa has a great story to share with other states. We’re using innovative teaching to provide our children with a world-class education, installing sound budgeting principles, working to bring quality careers to Iowa and moving our state forward. I look forward to continuing to share Iowa’s message of working together to advance our state’s priorities and I am eager to learn what best practices we can bring here from other states.”
The Association provides research and best practices exchange to the officeholders first in line of succession to governor in all 50 states and the U.S. territories.
The committee meets about three times a year and is responsible for charting the course of policy issues and national impact to be pursued by the nation’s second-highest state and territorial officeholders. In addition to its specific duties, the committee will also address issues of mutual concern to all members.
Reynolds was elected Iowa’s 45th Lieutenant Governor on November 2, 2010.
