COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is taking part in a meeting of the Republican Governors Association.

Haley's office says she is in Aspen, Colo., on Wednesday and Thursday to attend the RGA's Executive Roundtable Quarterly Meeting.

Haley is also joining other GOP governors for a panel discussion sponsored by the Aspen Institute.

The Republican Governors Association was founded in 1963. Its website says its primary mission is to help elect Republican governors, while providing its members with resources to help them govern effectively.

Earlier this week, Haley was in Michigan for several campaign-related events with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
