About Valley Forward :: The Association

Valley Forward's membership roster is comprised of some of Arizona's largest employers and some of its smallest, industrial and manufacturing sectors, municipalities and governmental agencies, educators, non-profit organizations and Valley citizens.

Through unique partnerships, Valley Forward has remained active in preserving the environment and livability of our Valley's communities, serving as a forum for public discussion and action on these important issues.

Memberships are available in several categories beginning at $1,000 to packages of $20,000, which include sponsorships. When an organization joins Valley Forward, its employees are encouraged to participate in all Valley Forward activities.
