Who we are.
Sun Valley Policy Forum (SVPF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit and non-partisan organization, was founded in 2022 to bring first-in-class educational programming to drive greater community participation and engagement in social, economic, and civic challenges.
The Sun Valley Policy Forum Speaker Series brings the very best of today’s eminent leaders and nationally recognized luminaries to Sun Valley, Idaho. This series is specially curated to provide attendees access to information in an effort to educate and grow citizen awareness, of both its residents and seasonal visitors, on current and vital issues facing our nation.
The Sun Valley Policy Forum (SVPF) is a proponent of free speech. Citizens benefit when different perspectives are shared, including those with which they disagree. Society's greatest advances have been the result of debate and the clash of ideas.
SVPF speakers have expertise on a variety of issues, from the economy to the first amendment, to the rule of law. SVPF welcomes people to come learn and to help inform their opinions on the challenges impacting America today.
What we do.
The Sun Valley Policy Forum is designed to promote civil researched policy discourse and to create a forum to exchange ideas and build affinity groups growing the base of support of sound clear policies for the next generation.
Significant year-round programming features economists, change agents, cultural historians, academia, new media, philanthropy, and public servants. Each will provide insights on critical issues and share our values of upholding the Constitution, and the American ideals of individual liberty, democracy, and free speech.
