Office of Intergovernmental Affairs

Introduction

"It is a priority of my administration to make sure that the doors of this White House are open to all of our citizens, and that our government is open and honest and that the American people are heard."

–President Barack Obama

The White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs works closely with state, tribal and local officials elected by the American people to ensure America's citizens and their elected officials have a government that works effectively for them and with them. State, tribal and local governments are critical to the creation and implementation of national policy. Maintaining a strong partnership between federal, state, tribal and local entities is the best way to bring change to American families and provide the leadership the American people deserve.
