ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan, Chairman of the National Governors Association (NGA), is leading the organization’s annual Winter Meeting in Washington, DC. This four-day summit provides a platform for the nation’s governors from both parties to discuss the most pressing issues facing their states and strengthen their relationships with domestic and international partners.

Over the course of the long weekend, Governor Hogan is highlighting his year-long national initiative, “Infrastructure: Foundation for Success.” This is the sixth summit in which Governor Hogan has brought together leaders from government, business, non-profits, and academia to share best practices and develop innovative solutions to America’s infrastructure crisis.
