TERMS & CONDITIONS OF ATTENDANCE
The Sun Valley Policy Forum, founded in March of 2022, is an organization whose purpose is to educate our citizenry on local, state, and national issues, to provide opportunities to discuss public policy, and to encourage dynamic participation in our Republic.
As a non-profit organization Sun Valley Policy Forum serves to educate and grow citizen awareness and promote public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values and a strong national defense. In doing so, we hope to inspire citizens with the knowledge to carry these ideas into our communities through civic engagement so that together we preserve individual liberties and keep our nation strong.
To advance Sun Valley Policy Forum’s mission, we host events and bring prominent national speakers to Sun Valley, Idaho. We highlight young leaders advancing our shared guiding principles through their own organizations where they are putting ideas into action.
Many events are open to the public while others are private or invite only. Registering for or attending an event indicates that you agree to Sun Valley Policy Forum’s Terms and Conditions of Attendance contained herein.
