A Place Where the Human Spirit Can Flourish

In the years immediately following World War II, Chicago businessman and philanthropist
Walter Paepcke was inspired by philosopher Mortimer Adler’s Great Books seminar at the
University of Chicago to create in Aspen, Colorado, “a place where the human spirit can
flourish.” In 1950, he established the Aspen Institute Executive Seminar to help business
leaders look with fresh eyes at their lives, their work, and the world of which they were a part
in order to become “more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence, more self-fulfilling.”

Today, the vision and reach of the Aspen Institute extend far beyond its original roots.
In policy programs, seminars, public events, and new leadership initiatives around the world,
the form and force of the Institute have grown to confront contemporary challenges and mat-
ters of collective concern. But in all of its work since its inception the Institute has remained
committed to the power of thoughtful dialogue, enduring human values, nonpartisan research,
and the search for common ground.

Over the years the Institute has attracted statesmen, CEOs, Supreme Court justices,
technology pioneers, scientists, scholars, Nobel laureates, artists, musicians, and other lead-
ers, all of them seeking to resolve dilemmas, advance policy solutions, examine the social
and moral values underlying human problems, and strengthen their own capacity for self-
knowledge and mutual understanding. Like the individuals who founded the Aspen Institute,
they want to bridge the gap between the ideal and the real.

Since its creation more than half a century ago, the Aspen Institute has rarely stood still.
At a time of great change and transformation, it continues to try to anticipate and shape the
course of that change, serving as a place where major social concerns can be clearly seen,
debated, and examined from different perspectives, all in the interest of the public service
and a better future.
About the Aspen Institute

The Aspen Institute is an international nonprofit organization that fosters enlightened

leadership, the appreciation of timeless ideas and values, and open-minded dialogue
on contemporary issues. Founded in 1950, the Institute and its international partners
seek to promote the pursuit of common ground and deeper understanding in a non-
partisan and nonideological setting through seminars, policy programs, conferences,
and leadership development initiatives. The Institute is headquartered in Washington,
DC, and has campuses in Aspen, Colorado, and at the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
on Maryland’s Wye River. Its international network includes partner Aspen Institutes
in Berlin, Rome, Lyon, Tokyo, New Delhi, and Bucharest, as well as leadership initia-
tives in the United States and in Africa, India, and Central America.

“We help people become more enlightened in their work and

enriched in their lives. Together we can learn one of the keys to
being successful in business, leadership, and life: balancing con-
flicting values in order to find common ground with our fellow
citizens while remaining true to basic ideals.”

– Walter Isaacson, President and CEO

The Art of Leadership
www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars

For decades Aspen Institute seminars have created a

respite from the pace of daily life and an opportunity to
deliberate on lasting ideas and values in the
company of one’s peers. They help leaders deepen their
knowledge, broaden their perspectives, and enhance
their capacities to think creatively and strategically about
solutions to the problems that confront society.
The seminars challenge civic and business leaders
and others to rethink the meaning of “the good society” and
explore in small groups the ideas and values that have shaped
human history. They are based on classical and contemporary
readings and are led using the Socratic method.

 Aspen Global
Developing Entrepreneurial Leaders at Home and Abroad
www.aspeninstitute.org/leadership

For more than a decade, the Institute has supported programs for
accomplished leaders in the US and around the world. Beginning with the
creation of the Henry Crown Fellowship Program, these initiatives share a com-
mon goal of encouraging a new generation of civically engaged
men and women to move “from success to significance” and apply their entre-
preneurial talents to addressing the foremost challenges of their organizations,
communities, and countries.

The programs share a common basic structure. Each one selects a class of
Fellows, approximately 20 proven leaders between the ages of 30 and
45, and convenes them several times over the course of two years for a series
of intensive leadership seminars. Fellows are also required to design
and carry out high-impact community projects.

The Institute has gathered its leadership Fellows and initiatives

into an international network whose goal is to connect Fellows to one another
across programs and leverage their talents on a global basis.
Today the Aspen Global Leadership Network counts more than 800 Fellows
from 38 countries, and it continues to grow. In 2007, the network
marked the tenth anniversary of the Henry Crown Fellowship Program by con-
vening more than 250 Fellows from the various leadership initiatives, and in
2008, it held its first alumni seminar in South Africa.

opinion leaders around the world and are also
made available to the public online.

Community Strategies Group

www.aspeninstitute.org/csg
Since 1985, this program has helped community
leaders connect with each other and cut through
barriers, equipping them with the best ideas, tools,
and strategies available to improve economic
development, strengthen families, sustain natural
resources, create locally controlled philanthropic
assets, and build vital and just civic cultures.
The program’s hallmark is tailored, peer-to-peer
exchanges in which community-based leaders and
teams create immediate back-home action plans. It
convenes action-learning sessions for teams from
multiple locations and organizes site visits for peer
communities to examine exemplary community
change at close range. It brings together diverse,

21
 disconnected leaders from a specific geographic
region to find common aims and start working
together. The program also connects community
innovators with regional and national experts and
funders. It develops community lessons into action
guides, good practice profiles, and Web resources
that stimulate and inform other community lead-
ers. Through its Rural Development Philanthropy
Learning Network, the program has helped hun-
dreds of community-based business, nonprofit,
church, government, and civic leaders work
together to grow locally controlled philanthropic
funds and use them to improve community out-
comes. In its Family Economic Success initiative it
is engaging a growing network of community-level

strengthens lawmakers’ grasp of critical public

Global Initiative on Arts, Culture,

and Society
www.aspeninstitute.org/arts&culture
What will it take to persuade governments, busi-
ness, and civil society to invest in cultural diploma-
cy and to recognize that culture is vital to interna-
tional relations and socioeconomic development?
There is growing worldwide recognition of the
power of artistic and cultural expression to enrich
human lives by stimulating creative solutions to
societal challenges, sustaining livelihoods, and
creating the conditions necessary for social change.
A vibrant arts and culture sector can hasten the
overall political, economic, and social development
of a community, nation, or region. But the vitality
of the cultural sector depends on strong leadership,
solid institutions, and systems that promote cultural
identities, develop artistic and cultural resources,
and broaden public participation. This program
seeks to build a neutral platform for reflection,
network building, policy formulation, leadership
development, and resource mobilization in the
fields of arts, culture, and socioeconomic develop-
ment. It helps to raise the profile of arts and culture

25
 concerns in sustainable development and interna-
tional relations by convening leading thinkers, gov-
ernment decision-makers, business executives, and
others from diverse professional backgrounds and
organizing seminars for professional and leadership
development. It also builds networks for coopera-
tive engagement and resource mobilization. In col-
laboration with the British Council, the Embassy
of Canada to the US, Americans for the Arts, the
US Department of State, Institut Aspen France, and
the Apartheid Museum and the Nirox Foundation
in South Africa, it organized a series of roundtable
discussions in 2007 and 2008 to explore the role of
cultural and arts activities in international relations.
It has also led recent working groups in Brazil,
France, Spain, South Africa, and Washington, DC,
on the challenges of cultural diplomacy and the
promotion of cultural diversity. The initiative is
currently planning the inaugural Aspen Cultural
Diplomacy Forum, to be held in Paris.

Global Interdependence Initiative

www.aspeninstitute.org/gii
Many nonprofit organizations and their foundation
funders provide direct social services, but many
also want to address the underlying causes of the
social ills they combat. Service delivery is rela-
tively easy to measure. Advocating for deeper pol-
icy and social change is not. This program helps
nonprofit organizations and funders plan, conduct,
evaluate, and improve their advocacy efforts. Its
work builds on a 2005 report it commissioned ana-
lyzing successful global education and advocacy
campaigns on issues such as international debt
relief and emergency AIDS prevention. The report
was shared with other advocates and funders, and
it developed the initiative’s own understanding of
how best to help them inform and affect public
policy. Continuous Progress Strategic Services,

Nonprofit Sector and

Philanthropy Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/nspp
There is a hunger for fresh approaches to the many
challenges facing our nation and our world. The
social sector—those unique nonprofit programs,
philanthropies, and partnerships that are the heart
of civil society—is a major force working to ad-
dress these challenges and develop lasting solu-
tions. This program equips nonprofits with the
highest quality research and information. It works
to improve the effectiveness of philanthropies and
nonprofits by equipping them with cutting-edge
scholarship, and it convenes nonprofit, governmen-
tal, business, and philanthropic leaders who share a
commitment to the social good. Since its founding
in 1991, the program has nurtured the now well
established field of nonprofit scholarship, awarding
$11.5 million in research grants to over 400 proj-
ects examining a broad range of social and philan-
thropic issues. It has developed a knowledge base
of innovative ideas, strategies, and effective prac-
tices used to improve outcomes in the social sector
and philanthropy. It has brought together hundreds
of nonprofit, business, and government leaders in
working sessions designed to create cross-sector
methods for solving critical social problems.

29
 Examples of its work include research that
details the practices of high-impact nonprofits;
meetings on increasing the access of social
entrepreneurs to capital; the Aspen-Global
Philanthropy Forum Summer Seminar, which
brings together experienced philanthropists and
donors from across the country who are seek-
ing concrete strategies to achieve impact;
and the Seminar Series for Mid-America
Foundation CEOs, which gives foun-
dation executives an opportunity to
engage in in-depth conversations
about the complex issues facing
philanthropy today.

 Society of Fellows

Sustaining the Mission of the Aspen Institute

www.aspeninstitute.org/sof
In 1964, a group of Aspen Institute supporters founded the Society of Fellows to champion the work
of the Institute and to participate in its programs and projects. Formed to enhance the impact and
encourage the growth of the Institute, the Society of Fellows has evolved into an important source of
financial support, helping to sustain the Institute’s mission, expand its programs, and ensure its future.
Today the Society has more than 1,200 donors. While the support they generate benefits the Institute,
it also makes possible events and seminars offered only to donors. When they participate in these
activities, donors form new relationships, enjoy intellectual pursuits, and foster their commitment to
the Institute.
The Aspen Institute offers six Society of Fellows donor levels, each of which includes year-round
invitations to programming, custom symposia, and special events.

Recent Society of Fellows Symposia:

The Rise of Iran
The Nuclear Challenge
Latin American Politics
Human Rights and US Foreign Policy
Science and Religion in the Modern World
The Meaning of Music
Saudi Arabia’s Role in the Middle East

The Aspen Wye Fellows program is a donor and public outreach initiative on the Institute’s Wye
River campus in Maryland. Fellows are Chesapeake Bay area residents who support and share the
Institute’s interest in global, open-minded dialogue, and they play a role in furthering its mission. The
program includes discussions, receptions, book signings, and other special events featuring prominent
leaders and policy experts.

A Global Presence

International Partners
www.aspeninstitute.org/international
The Aspen Institute has international partners in France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, and Romania. These
centers represent a broad range of opinion from the corporate, academic, political, and other sectors of
society. They focus on the development of leadership networks and informed dialogue about the values
and principles of democracy, the rule of law, and a wide array of economic, financial, social, and political
topics. The centers host seminars, workshops, conferences, and policy programs for high-level leaders and
decision-makers to encourage discussion and debate on global, foreign policy, defense, and trade issues as
well as current political and international affairs.
Recent international events have included conferences and study groups on Europe-Mediterranean rela-
tions, China’s role as a world power, transatlantic links, the 60th anniversary of the Marshall Plan, cor-
porate leadership and business ethics in Japan, education and public services in India, European security
issues, environmental protection and responsibility in Romania, and civil society networks and nongovern-
mental organizations in Iran, as well as seminars and summits for young political leaders and executives.

Locations

The Aspen Institute is headquartered in Washington, DC, where a variety

of policy program events and meetings, roundtable lunches, and book discus-
sions are held at its main offices. The Institute carries out much of its work on
its two campuses, in Colorado and Maryland, where natural beauty and quiet
surroundings encourage thoughtful reflection and refresh the mind, body, and
spirit. Both campuses are also favorite retreats for corporate and organiza-
tional meetings.
www.aspeninstitute.org

The Aspen Meadows campus, nestled in the quiet West End of the Rocky
Mountain town of Aspen, was created by Bauhaus designer Herbert Bayer.
Its 40 acres, bordered by mountain streams and fields of wildflowers, are just
minutes away from the center of Aspen.
www.aspenmeadows.dolce.com

The Aspen Wye River campus is located near Queenstown, on the eastern
shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Its three distinct conference centers
are set on 1,100 acres on the banks of the Wye River.

Ensuring Access for a Diverse Range of Leaders

Every year a group of exceptionally qualified leaders—established and emerging—receive scholarships to

attend Executive and Leadership seminars, as well as other programs of the Aspen Institute. These schol-
arships are awarded to individuals in the public and civic sectors who, without this vital support, would be
unable to attend.

These endowments, combined with the annual support of individuals and corporations, ensure that the
mission of leadership development benefits a broad spectrum of people, both in the US and abroad.

We are grateful to these individuals and organizations for their support.
