TOP AMONG OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS WAS A NEARLY YEAR- LONG RESPONSE EFFORT TO AID GOVERNORS COMBATTING THE ONGOING COVID-19 PANDEMIC. ADDITIONALLY, THE NGA CENTER BUILT OUT A NEW SUPPORT NETWORK FOR GOVERNORS' LEGAL COUNSEL; LAUNCHED A NEW INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM, CONTINUED WORK IN ENERGY, TRANSPORTATION, AND OUTDOOR RECREATION; SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED NEW PROJECTS IN ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE RECOVERY; AND SUPPORTED GOVERNORS AS THEY MADE ONCE IN A CENTURY DECISIONS AROUND K-12 EDUCATION NATIONWIDE. IN FEBRUARY OF 2020, THE NGA CENTER ESTABLISHED A COVID-19 TASK FORCE TO PROVIDE GOVERNORS AND THEIR STAFF WITH UP TO DATE AND ACTIONABLE INFORMATION RELATED TO THE ONGOING PANDEMIC. AS THE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS EVOLVED, THIS EFFORT EVOLVED AS WELL. EVENTUALLY BRINGING TOGETHER EXPERTISE FROM ACROSS THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION TO ADDRESS THE MULTIFACETED RESPONSE EFFORT. THIS TASK FORCE PRODUCED OVER SEVENTY-FIVE MEMOS, PUBLICATIONS, AND POLICY TRACKERS TO ANALYZE AND SHARE DEVELOPMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ADDITIONALLY, THE TASKFORCE HELD OVER THIRTY BRIEFINGS WITH LEADING PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS FOR GOVERNORS' STAFF THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. TO SUPPLEMENT OUR PANDEMIC RESPONSE, THE NGA CENTER BUILT OUT A NEW WORKSTREAM TO SUPPORT GOVERNORS' LEGAL COUNSELS AS THEY ADDRESS NUMEROUS LEGAL CHALLENGES IN THEIR STATES. WHILE THIS WORK INITIALLY STARTED IN RESPONSE TO COVID, THE WORK HAS BROADENED BEYOND THE PANDEMIC TO LOOK AT ISSUES RELATED TO EXECUTIVE POWER, THE ONGOING OPIOID CRISIS, AND THE IMPACT OF US SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON THE STATES. THIS WORK CONSISTS OF THREE CORE ELEMENTS: ROUTINE VIRTUAL BRIEFINGS FOR LEGAL COUNSEL WITH NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED EXPERTS, LEGAL RESEARCH MEMORANDUM TO ACCOMPANY THE VIRTUAL BRIEFINGS, AND AD-HOC REQUESTS FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, WHICH NUMBERED OVER 100 DURING 2020. IN MID-2020 THE NGA CENTER ALSO LAUNCHED A NEW PROGRAM AREA FOCUSED ON INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY. WHILE WE HAD PREVIOUSLY ENGAGED IN WORK RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE, THIS NEW SECTION WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE BROAD DEFINITION OF INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL, WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING GOVERNORS A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT AS THEY PLAN TO BUILD OUT OR UPGRADE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THEIR STATES. THIS NEW PROGRAM BUILDS ON THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF OUR 2019/20 CHAIRMAN'S INITIATIVE, INFRASTRUCTURE: FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS. THIS WORK IS VERY CLOSELY RELATED TO IMPORTANT EFFORTS THAT WERE EXPANDED THIS YEAR AROUND BROADBAND ACCESS, ENERGY AFFORDABILITY, CLEAN ENERGY, TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY, AND OUTDOOR RECREATION/NATURAL RESOURCES POLICY. THESE ISSUES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY ADDRESSED IN 2020 THROUGH WRITTEN PUBLICATIONS AND VIRTUAL CONVENINGS. ALSO CORE TO OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2020 WERE NEW WORKSTREAMS TO SUPPORT GOVERNORS AS THEY ADDRESS THE ONGOING ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE CHALLENGES FACING THIS NATION. THROUGHOUT THE SPRING OF 2020 WE CONVENED WEEKLY CALLS WITH STATE WORKFORCE POLICY LEADS TO UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS SURROUNDING STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE SYSTEMS AS THOSE SYSTEMS WERE UNDER UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND PRESSURES. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2020 WE LAUNCHED TWO NEW PROJECTS TO ASSIST GOVERNORS WITH WORKFORCE AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY, INCLUDING OUR WORKFORCE INNOVATION NETWORK AND OUR RECOVERY AND RESKILLING NETWORK. THE LATTER OF THOSE TWO CONVENED STATE POLICYMAKERS FOR ROUTINE DISCUSSIONS ON STRATEGIES TO RESKILL THOSE WORKERS LEFT BEHIND BY THE PANDEMIC AND HOW TO LEVERAGE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, PARTICULARLY TWO-YEAR DEGREE INSTITUTIONS. BOTH OF THESE EFFORTS ARE ONGOING INTO 2021. FINALLY, OUR TEAM DEVOTED CONSIDERABLE TIME AND ATTENTION TO SUPPORTING GOVERNORS ACROSS A WIDE SWATH OF K-12 EDUCATION POLICY ISSUES. STARTING IN THE SPRING WITH A FOCUS ON HOW TO EFFECTIVELY TRANSITION TO VIRTUAL LEARNING, THEN WITH ASSISTANCE ON SAFELY OPERATING SUMMER PROGRAMS, THEN HOW TO SAFELY REOPEN SCHOOLS IN THE FALL, AND FINALLY ONGOING ASSISTANCE WITH THOSE STATES FOCUSED ON REOPENING SCHOOLS AND ESTABLISHING ROBUST COVID TESTING PROGRAMS. ALL THE WHILE, OUR TEAM TRACKED THE CURRENT STATE OF EDUCATION POLICIES THROUGHOUT THE STATES AND PLANNED A ROBUST SERIES OF ENGAGEMENTS FOR 2021 AROUND THE LONGER-TERM IMPACTS OF SCHOOL CLOSURE AND VIRTUAL LEARNING. 20892093 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 2 2 false false false 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 MA MD ME MI MN MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT WA VA WI X X X STEVE POLK 2026245300 444 N CAPITOL STREET NW SUITE 267 WASHINGTON DC 20001 RICHARD JONAS NGAC DIRECTO 40.00 X 270839 0 27767 SUSAN GANDER DIVISION DIR 40.00 X 208908 0 42095 HEMI TEWARSON DIVISION DIR 40.00 X 212354 0 35965 MARTIN SIMON DIVISION DIR 40.00 X 196855 0 35175 JEFFREY MCLEOD DIVISION DIR 40.00 X 181934 0 39724 BETH CARON DIVISION DIR 40.00 X 181450 0 19436 LAUREN BLOCK PROGRAM DIRE 40.00 X 157046 0 23832 SANDRA WILKNISS PROGRAM DIRE 40.00 X 156814 0 17185 JEFF LOCKE PROGRAM DIRE 40.00 X 122146 0 20630 TIM BLUTE PROGRAM DIRE 40.00 X 134511 0 0 GARRETT EUCALITTO PROGRAM DIRE 40.00 X 122599 0 0 WILLIAM MCBRIDE EXECUTIVE DI 40.00 X X 0 121987 0 STEVEN POLK CFO 40.00 X X 0 54334 0 GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 1945456 176321 261809 16 false true false FAMILY HEALTH INTERNATIONAL PO BOX 602146 CHARLOTTE NC 28260 SUBAWARD 296969 AMERICAN CORRECTIONAL ASSOC 206 NORTH WASHINGTON STREET SUITE 200 ALEXANDRIA VA 22314 CONSULTING 270000 KATHERINE ASH 1916 17TH STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20009 CONSULTING 133300 NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF STATE LEG 7700 EAST FIRST PLACE DENVER CO 80230 CONSULTING 130000 ROSS STRATEGIC 1325 4TH AVENUE SUITE 1600 SEATTLE WA 98101 CONSULTING 129424 5 4704041 18564358 23268399 REGISTRATION FEES 241095 241095 241095 246742 246742 9403848 8941273 462575 462575 462575 OTHER INCOME 420 420 420 24219231 704090 246742 X 2081101 2039995 41106 3097484 3097260 224 660254 653346 6908 1841848 1822576 19272 244003 241450 2553 149666 149666 284002 284002 113377 113377 6067318 6057318 10000 222907 222907 305871 305871 859535 859535 548810 548810 1460643 1460643 2561687 2560204 1483 83658 83658 42506 42506 RECRUITMENT 222679 222679 FILING & CREDIT CARD FEES 64543 64543 EQUIPMENT 61747 61747 20973639 20892093 69839 11707 3166018 2388073 5594405 9826563 18400902 19761297 25585 6475 27186910 31982408 57795 188657 10325 707500 68120 896157 X 21179838 29106925 5938952 1979326 27118790 31086251 27186910 31982408 3245592 721869 X false true X true true true X 14519386 14518819 18126039 17871944 23268399 88304587 14519386 14518819 18126039 17871944 23268399 88304587 8601506 79703081 411281 519392 330440 1280553 246742 2788408 168659 217287 71075 20741 477762 91570757 2818586 0.87040 0.89740 X PART II, LINE 10 477,762 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION GENERAL EXPLANATION PART II LINE 10 FOR THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD, MISCELLANEOUS INCOME TOTALS 42,594 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FEES TOTALS 550,116 AND REIMBURSED PROGRAM EXPENSES TOTALS 185,753.
