The National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) is the professional association for the elected officials first in line of succession to the state governors in the 50 states and five U.S. territories. The purpose of NLGA is to promote efficiency and effectiveness of the office of lieutenant governor, to foster interstate cooperation, to provide a medium for the exchange of views and experiences on subjects important to the people of the states and territories. Each state's constitution dictates who is first in line of gubernatorial succession should a vacancy occur. This official is the NLGA member.
