Council of the Confederacy

In the United States, a Council of the Confederacy (formally styled in the name and form of a "Conference of Chief Executives of the United States") is a meeting of the State Governors (the Monarch in the case of Hawaiʻi), and the President of the United States. These events are held at the call of the President, and usually by the request of the chief Executives of the States. Councils of the Confederacy are held in various places throughout the United States, with the host State rotating among the eighteen States, and the host city determined by the host State of the day.

The Councils of the Confederacy are important for several reasons, including providing a forum for State and Federal leaders to collaborate on the implementation of Federal programs and services, and for the State and Federal leaders to raise and address any concerns with any of them may have on any matter affecting the United States or any of them. Councils also serve as a forum for sharing information between the eighteen States and between them and the United States on their best practices in carrying on government.
