Pam Inmann
Director
Pam Inmann became Executive Director of the Western Governors' Association in March 2004.
WGA enables Governors of 19 states 3 U.S.-Flag Pacific Islands to identify issues of regional concern, to formulate regional policy for those issues, and to take action that promotes Western interests. WGA also provides a forum for Governors and other leaders to exchange ideas, positions and experiences. Through WGA, Governors and their staffs exchange information and ideas about problem solving for a wide range of practical management concerns. The exchange helps Governors manage their resources more efficiently, for example, when they procure services jointly and share development costs for new programs. The exchange also helps build rapport among Governors, cabinet officers and gubernatorial staffs in the region.
WGA develops and maintains up-to-date information on a wide range of subjects important to Western policy-makers, business leaders and educators. WGA produces occasional white papers, reports and other analyses used in the development of policy on matters important to the West. Through WGA, Western Governors form coalitions to collectively express their positions on matters of shared interest, and together advocate a Western agenda before Congress and the executive branch of the federal government. Through its annual convention, meetings, media briefings, resolutions and background papers, WGA provides timely information for the public.
