A Network of Regional Collaboratives

Valley Vision is part of an informal statewide network of 22 organizations – each considered a “regional collaborative” – focusing on improving the economic, social and environmental health of their region.

Regional Collaboratives share common values:

Stewardship: achieving the greatest, long-term benefit for their region

Innovation: sharing new ideas, strategies, policies and programs

Collaboration: serving as honest brokers in the public debate – incorporating all stakeholders and considering all factors – with special regard for the integrity of the collaborative process

Strong economy: commitment to building a robust regional economy that advances economic prosperity for all through knowledge, innovation, and leveraging our strengths

Environmental stewardship: advancing policies and practices that promote sustainable and livable communities and preserve our quality of life

Equity through opportunity: focusing on inclusion and empowerment, serving the interests of all people and cultures

Diverse engagement: collaborating across the full spectrum of interests, institutions, and communities and in partnerships among the civic, public and private sectors

Regional scale and scope: working at a region-based, multi-jurisdictional level necessary to achieve effective solutions that last

Members of the network learn from each other and share best practices, collaborate to solve common problems and use their collective influence and outreach powers to influence statewide policies. For more information about the network, please visit: www.calregions.org.
