Published on Wednesday, April 09, 2025

PROVIDENCE, RI – Rhode Island Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos today welcomed the National Lieutenant Governors Association 2025 Spring Meeting to Providence, Rhode Island. This nonpartisan conference, which will run from April 9th to the 11th, convenes state seconds-in-command from across the country to study some of Rhode Island’s successful public programs, share best practices across party lines, and foster interstate collaboration.

“I am deeply proud to welcome my peers from around the nation to Rhode Island. This is an opportunity to introduce state leaders to the Ocean State’s rich history and our bright future,” said Lieutenant Governor Matos. “There is so much more that unites us across state and party lines than divides us, and I am looking forward to hosting an informative conference that will highlight all the ways that state seconds-in-command can work together and learn from each other.”

While in Rhode Island, attending lieutenant governors will learn about Rhode Island’s successful strategies in tourism and the blue economy, hold policy discussions on issues including housing and AI, and hear a welcome address from Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee, a former Rhode Island Lt. Governor and NLGA Chair. Members will also experience Rhode Island’s unique cultural attractions while visiting the Rhode Island State House, the RISD Museum, and the WaterFire Arts Center, and will give back to Rhode Island by donating 100 STEM education kits to the Providence After School Alliance. The conference is estimated to generate between $100,000 and $160,000 in positive economic impact for the state.
