[If] we want to tackle a problem, it is better that we do it not in a silo and in isolation, but that we bring our forces together to truly have an impact on people’s lives.
Valerie Jarrett, Horizons 2023

At a time of political division across our country, we take a nonpartisan approach that emphasizes results. As Washington State Rep. Greg Cheney said at the 2023 summit: “Lasting policy generally tends to be bipartisan. That doesn’t mean everybody gets what they want; it means everybody’s sitting around a table finding solutions.” For the learn-and-work ecosystem, Horizons sets that table for everyone working to achieve equitable economic advancement for all.
