Top among our accomplishments was an ongoing response effort to aid Governors addressing the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the NGA Center supported Governors as they prepared for a likely once in a generation infrastructure buildout; continued work in energy, transportation, and outdoor recreation; successfully supported Governors as they addressed workforce and economic de velopment challenges; and supported Governors as they made once in a century decisions around k-12 education nationwide. Throughout 2021, the NGA Center continued to support Governors and their staffs as they responded to the COVID-19 pandemic emergency. The work during this time period focused on assisting with vaccination planning and efforts, addressing the unwinding of the emergency phase of COVID-19 and helping states plan for future waves and innovative treatments. This included working closely with Governors' health policy advisors, legal counsel and Governors' COVID-19 response leaders. During this time the NGA Center also worked closely with academic and private sector thought-leaders to provide the most timely and relevant information to Governors as they were adjusting to the dynamic pandemic. In addition to our core public health pandemic response work, the NGA Center continued to support a new workstream with Governors' Legal Counsel. Throughout this reporting period written and oral briefings on a suite of COVID and non-COVID related legal matters, including updates to the Federal Court dockets that may impact states. This work also included maintaining numerous COVID response policy trackers, including tracking the status of public health emergency declarations in all fifty-five states and territories. In non-COVID work, the NGA Center also focused time and attention on getting Governors and their staff's prepared for a potential federal infrastructure package (that was signed into law after this reporting period). This included working closely with Governors' transportation, broadband and energy advisors to understand how they were approaching existing infrastructure policy gaps, how they would utilize future federal funds, what they were currently focused on, and what challenges they anticipated from a potential federal infrastructure package. This work was led by a new team at the NGA Center, however, was a cross cutting operation across all of our existing policy teams. The NGA Center's K-12 Education team continued to support Governors and their staffs as they worked to safely reopen schools, expand the availability of high-quality virtual learning environments, assess and address learning loss, and contemplate the challenges in youth mental health and emotional well being brough upon by the pandemic. This work included hosting routine written and oral briefings for Governors' education policy advisors, including numerous briefings in concert with our public health team. Finally, during this reporting period the team undertook significant preparation for a longer-term project addressing the mental health impacts and challenges facing students as they restart their in-person education. The NGA Center continued to actively support Governors as they adjusted their workforce and economic development policies to meet the challenges brought on by COVID and an increasingly distributed workforce. This included tracking and disseminating updated information about the economic and labor market situation, while also working closely with Governors' workforce boards and chairs to understand the state-by-state challenges and innovations. During this time we hosted numerous virtual briefings for Governors' staff, published reports on business and economic conditions and monitored the pandemic impacts on workforce development. Finally, our team continued to focus on supporting Governors and their staffs as they address ongoing challenges related to substance abuse disorder. For this reporting period our team devoted significant attention to trends in narcotics use and addiction were changing and how the supply of narcotics was changing the scope of the addiction crisis. The work of supporting Governors on drug and substance use disorder policy dates back nearly a decade and has evolved as the crisis has moved from prescription drugs to heroin to fentanyl to stimulants and polysubstance abuse. The most recent evolution included the increased prevalence of stimulants and their use with opioid-based products, with these changes our team worked with Governors offices to help evolve existing drug policy to meet the new challenges. 14869562 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true X 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false true false true false true true true false false false true true true true true true false false AK AL AR CA CT DC FL GA IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NC ND NH NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI X X X Jordan Kramer 2026245300 444 N Capitol St NW Suite 267 Washington DC 20001 Gov Phil Murphy Chair 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gov Doug Burgum Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gov John Bel Edwards Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gov Spencer Cox Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 LeAnne Wilson Secretary/COO X 0 284656 26376 William McBride Exec Director X 0 373467 27058 Steven Polk CFO X 0 269234 38591 Tim Blute Program Director 40.00 X 206156 0 40359 Bevin Buchheister Sen Policy Analyst 40.00 X 97035 0 4830 Seth Garson Program Director 40.00 X 149419 0 18039 Dan Lauf Program Director 40.00 X 122130 0 12190 Jeff Locke Program Director 40.00 X 135609 0 20718 Ryan Martin Deputy Director 40.00 X 7615 0 827 Jeffrey McLeod Division Director 40.00 X 216490 0 23577 Jessica Rackley Program Director 40.00 X 113666 0 31118 Martin Simon Division Director 40.00 X 294934 0 21002 Rachael Stephens Program Director 40.00 X 103425 0 16851 Hemi Tewarson Division Director 40.00 X 240475 0 26656 Amanda Winters Program Director 40.00 X 106766 0 17820 1793720 927357 326012 10 false true false Duke University 2200 West Main Street 710 Durham NC 27705 Consulting 340000 Education Strategy Group 4716 Drummond Avenue Chevy Chase MD 20815 Consulting 300000 Corporation for a Skilled Workforce 1100 Victor Way Ann Arbor MI 48108 Consulting 141000 WestEd 730 Harrison Street San Francisco CA 94107 Consulting 125000 Keybridge Research LLC 3050 K Street NW 220 Washington DC 20007 Consulting 111350 6 3925190 10068102 13993292 Registration Fees 900099 6308 0 0 6308 431058 0 431058 6843969 5237516 1606453 1606453 0 0 1606453 Other Income 900099 329 329 0 0 329 16037440 6637 0 2037511 1793720 1793720 0 0 0 0 0 0 1636971 1298521 267355 71095 595184 536467 46383 12334 1175964 1059951 91643 24370 1140378 1027876 88870 23632 281490 281490 0 0 -250080 0 -250080 0 115282 0 115282 0 5148299 5135670 0 12629 627649 627649 0 0 305323 304885 0 438 2153375 2153375 0 0 9776 9776 0 0 38348 38348 0 0 14 0 0 14 518882 518882 0 0 Miscellaneous 82952 82952 0 0 15373527 14869562 359453 144512 977235 2388073 2375915 9826563 7970369 13974 19761297 25398690 6475 31982408 36736183 188657 213320 707500 1057537 0 896157 1270857 X 29106925 31669354 1979326 3795972 31086251 35465326 31982408 36736183 663913 3715162 X false true X true true true X 0 14518819 18126039 17871944 23268399 13993292 87778493 0 0 14518819 18126039 17871944 23268399 13993292 87778493 4717290 83061203 519392 330440 1280553 246742 431058 2808185 0 0 90586678 2217245 0.91690 0.87040 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 19761296 5867954 115281 25513969 18400901 340874 1113652 94131 19761296 17237701 351840 898572 87212 18400901 15869927 177096 1310908 120230 17237701 14260594 1685691 76358 15869927 1.00000 false false none 0 0 X 19752602 3715162 3715162 16037440 16037440 15373527 15373527 15373527 Pt X, Line 2 Management has evaluated NGA Center's tax positions and has concluded that NGA Center has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.
