Maddy Associates

Join the Maddy Associates and help drive non-partisan public policy solutions for the San Joaquin Valley.

Since 2005, this prestigious group of leaders has been instrumental in raising awareness of our work and expanding The Maddy Institute’s mission throughout the Valley, across California, and beyond. Through our Maddy Associates Speaker Series, we’ve brought together a diverse range of distinguished state and national leaders to address the critical issues facing our region, state, and nation.

We invite community leaders, businesses, organizations, and individuals to demonstrate their commitment to inspiring the next generation of leaders, greater civic engagement, and nonpartisan policy analysis. Your support allows us to advance a better public understanding of the policy challenges and opportunities that shape our region’s future.
