Bolling elected chair of LG association
By JR Hoeft | Friday, July 31st, 2009 | PolicyThe National Lieutenant Governors Association has elected Virginia Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling to serve as their chairman for the next year.
The bipartisan organization cited Bolling’s leadership, and their confidence and trust in his abilities to advance the NLGA’s mission, as reason to promote him from vice chair to chair.
“The nation’s lieutenant governors find within the NLGA the tools to contribute at the highest level and collegiality that knows no bounds,” said Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton (D-Wisconsin), outgoing NLGA Chair. “I pass the gavel to Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling with complete confidence that his leadership will keep up on the path to progress by every measure.”
Bolling has worked on several NLGA initiatives in Virginia, including the Steptember program, Ending Cervical Cancer In Our Lifetime initiative, Helping Virginians Breathe Easier campaign and the Lieutenant Governor’s Challenge: Your Heart Is In Your Hands program. By advocating these initiatives, the LG has brought attention to important health care issues like obesity, cervical cancer, asthma and heart health.
Bolling said that he was honored to be selected as chairman of the organization and vowed to continue building “bi-partisan consensus around realistic and workable solutions to the challenges facing our states and our nation.”

Could there possibly be a more pointless organization than the national LT. governors association? Do they trade tips on what to do while waiting for their respective governors to die, resign in shame, take a post in the Obama administration or get indicted? Maybe they trade parliamentary tips for overseeing state senates?
