About Us
The IDEA Partnership is an investment in the stakeholder expertise. We believe that those that are closest to the work have much to share about what works and can be valuable partners in finding new approaches to challenges. Even more importantly, when groups with different perspectives work together, we begin to understand issues in new ways…ways that help us see the possibilities.

The IDEA Partnership facilitates interaction and shared work across professional and family organizations around common interests. Our work allows groups to come together around the issues they care about and create initiatives that will actively engage their members.

In pursuing real and lasting change, we use two approaches:
  • A focus on bringing stakeholders into the work of states as allies
  • A focus on broadly sharing the lessons learned with organizations

This section provides information about our mission, our history, and our partners. Additional sections describe our collaborative Partnership work and an overview to the website. We invite you comments, ideas and suggestions.
