The Progressive Governance Academy (PGA) is a newly-launched pilot project between the State Innovation Exchange (SiX), Local Progress, and re:power to build and develop the leadership and governance skills of progressive state and local elected officials across the country. Legislators will learn how to navigate complex challenges, strategically build power, and collectively govern.
