The National Governors Association Conference
Providence was the place in early August as the 93rd summer governors meeting attracted 38 leaders to the city, ranging from Guam's Carl T.C. Gutierrez to Maine's Angus S. King Jr. The conference drew reporters and photographers from the Washington Post to the Gongwer News Service. And it brought about 1,400 people to Rhode Island, providing an estimated $2.1 million in spending for the local economy.
