The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission (ALBC) invited governors from all fifty states to appoint a State Liaison to the ALBC Governors' Council.
State Liaisons help publicize national bicentennial programs and events in their state, serve as a contact point between the federal ALBC and their state, and coordinate their own state's bicentennial programs and events.
If your state reflects a vacancy, please contact your state governor's office.
Several states have established state commissions. We have developed draft legislation for those states wishing to do so. To view the draft legislation please click here.
