Solutions for the region’s most challenging problems
Valley Vision uses data-driven collaboration to advance quality of life for everyone in California's Capital Region.
Our vision is a livable, sustainable region where we all thrive.
For more than 30 years, Valley Vision has been at the center of leading a shared vision for ensuring quality of life for everyone within California’s Capital Region. We were founded as a nonprofit civic leadership organization in 1994 by regional leaders focused on addressing an estimated loss of 80,000 jobs statewide due to the closing of several Air Force bases, including Mather and McClellan. From there, we’ve grown to nearly 20 staff working in a variety of different, but aligned, areas that include workforce development, food and agriculture, clean air, equitable economic development and much more.
"Two things spring to mind when I think of Valley Vision’s strengths: stellar research capabilities and connecting communities to meaningful conversations."
