Lt. Gov. Coleman recognized in leadership role in National Lieutenant Governors Association

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman was re-nominated as a South Region at Large Member of the National Lieutenant Governors Association at the organization’s annual meeting Monday.

“Lt. Governor Coleman’s selection was confirmed by all members attending the annual meeting in Illinois and demonstrates the value her peers have seen in her contributions to leading this group,” said NLGA Director Julia Brossart.

According to a release by the lieutenant governor’s office, Coleman was selected by a bipartisan vote of lieutenant governors across the country and she begins service immediately. Coleman will serve through August 2023, according to the release.

“As part of leadership, I have a role in directing the organization’s support of STEM education and I am happy to say we will soon announce we’ve brought a Lieutenant Governors’ STEM Scholarship for Schools to a school in Kentucky,” said Coleman. “The most recent meeting also covered information on 988 implementation, crisis management, innovative housing finance policy, workforce and the economy.”

“As an active, non-partisan organization, NLGA is a place where lieutenant governors share ideas and best practices to advance opportunities for states and constituents,” said Brossart.

The release further stated the NLGA was formed in 1962 as the professional and educational association for the elected officials who are first in line of succession to the governors of the 50 states and five territorial jurisdictions of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
