NASHVILLE (AP) — Governors from across the nation will convene in Nashville next month.

They will be attending the National Governors Association summer meeting from July 10-13.

Governors will discuss innovative work in states in several areas, including education, workforce, health care, veterans and jobs.

Through NGA, governors share best practices, speak with a collective voice on national policy and develop innovative solutions that improve state government.

Throughout the meeting, governors will attend "governors-only" sessions, which provide an opportunity to exchange ideas about challenges facing states in a private, off-the-record setting.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam says he's honored to host the governors in Nashville and is looking forward to substantive conversation, as well as the chance to showcase Tennessee and all it has to offer.
