Hawaii Gov. Green Departs Nov. 14 for Meetings in New Mexico and Utah; Lt. Gov. Regan to Serve as Acting Governor Through Nov. 20

Saturday, November 14, 2026 · States · GSM News

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green will travel to New Mexico and Utah from Nov. 14 to 20 to attend two governors' conferences, with Acting Lt. Gov. Keith Regan serving as acting governor during his absence. Green is chair of the Western Governors' Association and a member of the National Governors Association Executive Committee. Under the schedule, he will depart on the evening of Saturday, Nov. 14, and return on the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 20. The first stop is Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a workshop on the "Health Beyond Health Care" initiative he has championed as Western Governors' Association chair; the second is Park City, Utah, for the National Governors Association's seminar for new governors, helping governors-elect and their teams prepare to take office. Chief of Staff Brooke Wilson will accompany him to Utah.

Green earlier this year hosted a Western Governors' Association policy forum on disaster management and recovery on Maui. The Governor's Office said Regan will carry out the duties of acting governor while Green is away, and day-to-day state government operations will not be affected. In Hawaii, the state Land Board on Nov. 13 approved the final transfer of 318.25 acres of state land in the Waiakea area of Hilo to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, and land and housing issues remain a recent focus in the state.
