About Us

Together, we can make it happen!

Our families, our state and our country are our responsibility. We want to thank Betty Brewer of Hayden for the prayerful insight behind that slogan. Betty’s involvement and input illustrates what the Idaho Values Alliance (IVA) must be to positively impact our communities, Idaho and America.

Our purpose is that simple. Through the IVA we are educating and engaging average, everyday Idahoans to make a meaningful difference. Our goal is create a network of 11,000 Idahoans by 11/11/2011! You read that right.

Together, we can create a movement unlike Idaho (or any other state for that matter) has ever witnessed. Together, we impact our children’s and grand children’s education and future. Together, we can make our voices heard from the School House, to the State House to the White House!

Together, we can make it happen!
