Attorney General Alliance

What Attorney General Alliance does

The Attorney General Alliance (AGA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Elk Grove, California, that operates as a bipartisan convening body for U.S. state and territory Attorneys General, federal and state officials, and selected international counterparts. It originated as the Conference of Western Attorneys General (CWAG), founded to coordinate among western-state AGs on Native American, natural resources, public lands, minerals, and energy law; by 2019 the network had expanded to over 40 U.S. states and territories, and AGA was spun out to address emerging national and international legal issues (cannabis regulation, sports betting, cybersecurity, organized retail crime, human trafficking, AI policy) while CWAG retained the western focus.

AGA's product surface is a portfolio of programs and working groups rather than a single product: the International Alliance Partnership (a U.S.–Mexico rule-of-law program co-funded by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs and USAID, which has connected over 27,000 law enforcement officials since 2006); the Africa Alliance Partnership and broader Rule of Law international program; the Human Trafficking Coalition with No Trafficking Zone and the Tim Tebow Foundation; and a series of topical initiatives (Cannabis Project, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, Sports Betting & Online Gaming, Organized Retail Crime, Mental Health, Ginsburg/Scalia Dialogue, Partnership for Youth Online Safety, AI Task Force, and the annual Chair's Initiative). A signature content asset is the American Indian Law Deskbook, first published in 1993 and updated annually, which is the first legal treatise of its kind.

The revenue model combines annual corporate sponsorship packages — required to participate in meetings and events — with membership dues from state AG offices and grant/funding support from federal partners (U.S. State Department, USAID, DHS). Sponsorship pricing is not publicly disclosed and is managed through the Deputy Executive Director. The organization runs with a core staff of approximately 10 (Executive Director, Deputy ED & General Counsel, Director of External Affairs, Director of Sponsorship/Membership & Events, Manager of Meetings & Events, Program Manager, Program Coordinator, CWAG Counsel, and Administrative Assistant), distributed across a small Elk Grove headquarters with field engagement via direct member contact, conferences, and working-group sessions.
