WGA Chair Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer invites you to attend the 2010 WGA Annual Meeting in Whitefish, Montana – 100 Years of Common Ground

Dear friends,

In 1910 a small group of Western Governors gathered in Salt Lake City to consider how best to manage the region’s natural resources. A century later, we continue to work collaboratively through the Western Governors’ Association to find common ground on diverse and sometimes very contentious issues important to our states.

WGA will recognize this "100 Years of Common Ground" at our 2010 Annual Meeting on June 27 – 29 in Whitefish, Montana. Our focus will be on actions and policies that will help us meet future demands for water, energy and transmission, while ensuring our water supplies, landscapes and wildlife are adequately protected well into the future.

The challenges we face as a region are considerable, but not insurmountable. We will examine innovative programs, strategies, partnerships and technologies that are working and how they could be replicated or modified to fit the needs of our very different states — from the smallest to the largest.

My wife, Nancy, and I hope you will join us for these discussions and recommend you bring along your families to enjoy all that Montana’s Glacier Country has to offer with its scenic beauty, majestic mountains and blue-ribbon fishing. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of Glacier National Park, so plan to make your visit a family affair and join the celebration.

Sincerely,

Governor Brian Schweitzer
