DESCRIPTION

The Aspen Institute was established in 1950 by a small group of visionaries who believed in creating the good society by fostering values-based dialogue among America's business leaders. In more recent decades, the organization built its reputation for helping shape tomorrow's leaders and advancing effective public policy through engaging a diversity of perspectives in intimate, retreat-like settings.In 2003, The Institute entered a new phase, opening its offerings to a far wider and broader audience and expanding its policy work into an exciting new realm. The the past decade, the Institute's leadership team, led by President and CEO Walter Isaacson, has bolstered the exciting policy and seminar programming, while opening much of the formerly closed-door offerings to the public through forums, roundtables, and speakers series, all made available across various media platforms.

The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization based in Washington, DC. Its mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for

discussing and acting on critical issues. The Institute does this primarily in four ways:

Seminars, which help participants reflect on what they think makes a good society, thereby deepening knowledge, broadening perspectives, and enhancing their capacity to solve the problems leaders face.

Young-leader fellowships around the globe, which bring a selected class of proven leaders together for an intense multiyear program and commitment. The Fellows become better leaders and apply their skills to significant challenges.

Policy programs, which serve as nonpartisan forums for analysis, consensus-building, and problem-solving on a wide variety of issues.

Public conferences and events, which provide a commons for people to share ideas.

The Institute is based in Washington, DC; Aspen, Colorado; and on the Wye River on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The Institute also has offices in New York City and an international network of partners.

In the more than six decades since its founding, the Aspen Institute has grown and evolved in many directions — but it has always held fast to its reputation as the place where

policymakers, writers, artists, executives, and members of the public can come together to explore the values underpinning society. That reputation, though, is incomplete. From the beginning, the Institute has been driven by a desire to both convene and have real -world impact. This desire stems from founder Walter Paepcke’s focus on the “good society” — a concept that still lies at the heart of the Institute. The “good society” is not some final destination. Instead, it is an ideal, an aspiration — a continual striving for improvement, individually and collectively, driven by both the ideas we explore and the actions we take. Impact begins with convenings that seed ideas in the minds of participants. The back and forth of critical thought, reasoned response, and careful listening amid diverse, nonpartisan gatherings makes ideas resonate and reverberate, echo and grow, until they germinate beyond the confines of the conference room.They may take the form of motivations, inspirations, aspirations, or innovations; but what begins with a roomful of people exchanging insights and experiences soon touches many, directly and indirectly. Aspen fellows and grassroots leaders take on daunting challenges that affect their communities. Reports guide local and national policymakers, who adopt and adapt best practices. These specific, measurable effects spread the reach of the Institute — and its idea of “the good society" — and lead the way to another season of new gatherings and new ideas among the Institute’s programs.The Institute has repeatedly witnessed the power of this cycle. Perhaps the best recent example was the Communications and Society program’s Community Dialogue on Healing the Racial Divide, held in St. Louis, Missouri. Prompted by tensions in the

wake of the violent conflicts in the nearby city of Ferguson, the Institute invited community activists, law enforcement leaders, educators, and journalists to sit down together for an open, collaborative, and productive dialogue on the sensitive issue of race. The ideas that came to the surface were soon transformed into actions. Participants discussed creating young leadership and mentoring programs, providing community-relations training for law enforcement officers, and establishing youth boards to increase dialogue between police and local youth.Institute fellows often marvel over how ideas so commonly pollinate even within small groups. Two New Voices Fellows found that “one of the most important audiences for our messages was within the Fellowship itself,” where a group of development experts from Africa and other parts of the developing world could “compare notes and come up with new solutions” — solutions they put to practical use, to help reduce childhood malnutrition. Joaquin Gallegos, a 24-year-old member of the Jicarilla Apache Nation who was selected by the Institute’s Center for Native American Youth as one of five Champions for Change, says that his advocacy for health care access and environmental issues has been “enriched and enhanced” through his relationships with other youth he met in the program, “even though we might not focus on all of the same issues.” The contrasting opinions Gallegos now prizes are no coincidence. A critical element of this cycle is that our gatherings include people of differing backgrounds, ideologies, cultures, and areas of expertise. This variety of approaches and views ensures that we are not creating yet another echo chamber but are instead challenging our participants to open their minds and listen as much as they speak. In a time of heightened polarization, the Institute is an island of stubborn civility — a place where people of many political stripes and convictions can come together to listen to each other as they can nowhere else.

POLICY PROGRAMS & PARTNERSHIPS Advancing Public Policy Through Dialogue and Actionwww.aspeninstitute.org/policy-work

The Aspen Institute policy programs provide nonpartisan forums for analysis, consensus building, and problem solving on pressing contemporary public policy issues. They frame critical topics, bring new evidence to bear on a wide range of issues, propose innovative ideas, and gather sector leaders and experts to reach constructive solutions. Each program serves as an impartial forum, and each is unique in its substance and approach. Together they share a common mission and methodology: convening diverse perspectives for informed dialogue and action.

ASCEND AT THE ASPEN INSTITUTEwww.ascend.aspeninstitute.orgAscend is the national hub for breakthrough ideas and collaborations to move children and their parents toward educational success and economic security. We embrace a two-generation approach and a commitment to racial equity and a gender lens. Two-generation approaches provide opportunities for, and meet the needs of, children and their parents together. We believe that education, economic supports, social capital, and health and wellbeing are the core com-ponents that create an intergenerational cycle of opportunity. Ascend makes a difference in the lives of children, parents, and families by elevating and invest-ing in a portfolio of solutions — informed by the voices of families and fueled by political will and a national network of leaders.

ASPEN FORUM FOR COMMUNITY SOLUTIONSwww.aspencommunitysolutions.orgThe mission of this program is to support collaboration that enables communities to effectively address their most pressing challenges. Its Opportunity Youth Incen-tive Fund works to demonstrate higher rates of reconnection to education and employment among opportunity youth and future generations; catalyze adoption of effective approaches in education and career attainment leading to family-sus-taining careers for opportunity youth; and leverage systems and policy changes at local, state, and national levels to remove systemic barriers. Melody C. Barnes, former director of the White House Domestic Policy Council and senior advisor to President Obama, chairs the Aspen Forum for Community Solutions.

ASPEN GLOBAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTwww.aspeninstitute.org/ghdAspen Global Health and Development promotes solutions to persistent global health and development problems. It is a force for fresh thinking, unlikely col-laborations, and nimble action within the global health and development field. Current programs tackle areas where new paradigms and innovative partner-ships are needed, including womens’ health, a fellowship for young African and Asian voices in global development discussions, support for the emerging artisan enterprise sector, and leadership for the last mile in global health. Our programs mobilize policy to support innovation in low-income communities on key issues; and they support the advancement of a number of ideas, including recognition of reproductive health as a key contributor to other development outcomes globally, adoption of policy innovations to address global health workforce issues, an alliance that aims to unleash the artisan sector’s economic potential, a fellowship program for development experts who receive global media training, and advancement of sustainable and equitable efforts to feed a world population of more than nine billion.

ASPEN INSTITUTE CITIZENSHIP AND AMERICAN IDENTITY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/citizenshipIn a time of rising inequality and rapidly increasing diversity, the question of what it means to be American — and how we create a unifying story of “us” — is of prime consequence. The Aspen Program on Citizenship and American Identity explores this question through a range of cross-partisan activity, from public forums to leadership convenings, to seminars. Across our forms of engagement, we focus on three aspects of citizenship: values, systems, and skills. The values segment focuses on articulating (and updating) the creedal and cultural content of American civic identity. The systems segment includes policy proposals and multi-sector collabo-rations to build social cohesion. The skills segment teaches leaders to construct co-alitions and a sense of shared fate across increasingly rigid class and race divides. This program is directed by Eric Liu, the founder of Citizen University, author, and former White House speechwriter and policy advisor to President Bill Clinton.

THE ASPEN INSTITUTE FRANKLIN PROJECTwww.aspeninstitute.org/franklin-projectThe Franklin Project envisions a future in which a year of full-time national service — a service year — is a cultural expectation, a common opportunity, and a civic rite of passage for every young American. Each person can fulfill his or her national service obligation by joining the military or by completing a full-time civilian service year through programs such as Teach for America, AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, or any eligible nonprofit. A modest living allowance would be provided for the service year, which would be completed at some point between the ages of 18–28.The Institute launched the Franklin Project in 2013, as a program tasked with creating a voluntary civilian counterpart to military service in the United States.

Born from General Stanley McChrystal’s call at the 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival to engage more Americans in serving their communities and country, the initiative has engaged leaders in military, business, government, nonprofit, faith, academ-ic, community-building, and other sectors to support large-scale civilian service. Its formation is vital at a time of national division, when the entrepreneurial energy of citizens must be harnessed to help solve public problems and bring people of different perspectives together. General McChrystal chairs the proj-ect, and John Bridgeland of Civic Enterprises and Alan Khazei of City Year and Be the Change, Inc. serve as co-chairs responsible for designing and managing the initiative. Former US Sen. Harris Wofford serves as senior advisor.

ASPEN INSTITUTE LATINOS AND SOCIETY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/latinos-societyThe Latinos and Society Program is focused on increasing the understanding of, and improving outcomes for, the growing US Latino population. The Latinos and Society program will convene meaningful dialogues among cross-sections of soci-ety with a focus on influencing positive outcomes, infusing the work of the Aspen Institute with Latino voices and ideas, and developing Latino leadership capacity.As the largest minority group in the US (projected to reach 26 percent of the population by 2050) and as a relatively young and rapidly growing population, Latinos will be entering our schools, health systems, and labor force at unprec-edented rates. Their success or failure will directly impact the direction of the country. Their participation and representation in all sectors of society and leadership is critical to our democracy. Our work will emphasize a particular focus on educational achievement, economic advancement, and civic partici-pation. We will also launch a Latino Leadership Initiative focused on developing the next generation of entrepreneurial, civic-minded Latino leaders equipped to positively impact their communities by undertaking leadership projects and contributing to America’s future.

ASPEN NETWORK OF DEVELOPMENT ENTREPRENEURSwww.aspeninstitute.org/andeThe Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs is a global network of orga-nizations that propel entrepreneurship in emerging markets. ANDE members provide critical financial, educational, and business support services to small

and growing businesses based on the conviction that SGBs will create jobs, stimulate long-term economic growth, and produce environmental and social benefits. Ultimately, we believe that SGBs can help lift countries out of poverty.Members of ANDE include both for- and non-profit investment funds, capacity development providers, research and academic institutions, development finance institutions and corporations from around the world. Launched with 34 members in 2009, ANDE now comprises over 200 members who collectively operate in more than 150 countries. ANDE has regional chapters in Brazil, Central America, Mexico, East Africa, East and Southeast Asia, India, South Africa, and West Africa.

ASPEN PLANNING AND EVALUATION PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/apepAPEP helps clients plan and evaluate efforts to shape public policy and pro-mote changes in attitudes and behavior. Program staff and consultants work internally with other Institute programs as well as with foundations and non-governmental organizations based in the US, Africa, and Europe to assess their advocacy and social change efforts. APEP’s recent evaluation clients address is-sues as diverse as reducing the incidence of child marriage worldwide, improv-ing the practices of microfinance providers, empowering women and girls in Kenya, and promoting a new vision for American public libraries. The program also leads the Institute’s internal program review process.

ASPEN STRATEGY GROUPwww.aspeninstitute.org/asgHow can America’s national security establishment better adapt to nascent threats and challenges? As current global trends defy traditional notions of interna-tional relations, what common problems do nations face in the 21st century? This program focuses on transnational issues that blend foreign and domestic subjects. Founded in 1984 with a concentration on strategic relations, arms control issues, and the US-Soviet relationship, its roots as an annual conference for researchers associated with arms control projects at universities and think tanks date back to the 1970s. As the group evolved, it also included legislators, government officials, business and industry representatives, and journalists. The current program has moved beyond its Cold War origins and today includes three generations of policymakers representing a range of perspectives.

“We know that every kid’s success is what’s necessary if we are going to be successful as a country economically. And the disparities that affect Latino and African American students are incompatible with the kind of economic future we need to build."

The approach, however, has remained constant: to use a bipartisan lens to identify the most contentious foreign policy and national security concerns facing our nation and to assess America’s evolving interests. Recent workshops, briefings, and reports have covered the crisis with Russia, the future of Amer-ican defense, Arab revolutions and American policy, cyber security, American interests in South Asia, the national security implications of climate change, and the challenge of nuclear proliferation. The Aspen Ministers Forum and Track II dialogues with Brazil, China, and India also convene under the auspices of the Aspen Strategy Group.

BUSINESS AND SOCIETY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/bspEstablished in 1998 and building on 60 years of Institute programming, the Aspen Institute Business and Society Program works to align business with the long-term health of society by helping established and emerging business leaders put values at the heart of practice. Through dialogue, research, and outreach, BSP creates opportunities for executives and educators to explore new routes to business sustainability and values-based leadership. Its Corporate Values Strategy Group supports business executives in developing long-term thinking in business, investing through change in corporate practice and public policy, and exploration of fundamental questions on business purpose. The pro-gram’s First Movers Fellowship is for exceptional business innovators who are integrating profitability and social value in their companies. Its Leaders Forum engages senior executives who are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable company. The program is also home to several signature programs for vanguard business ed-ucators, including CasePlace.org, Faculty Pioneers, and an undergraduate net-work linking business and liberal arts. These programs highlight cutting-edge teaching and research on social and environmental stewardship.

CENTER FOR NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTHwww.cnay.org Created by former US Sen. Byron Dorgan, CNAY is aimed at bringing greater national attention and fostering solutions to the issues facing American Indian and Alaska Native youth, our nation’s most at-risk population. Despite the efforts

of tribal governments and advocates, difficult conditions — including high rates of unemployment, poverty, alcohol and substance abuse, crime, and health dispari-ties — persist in many tribal communities. CNAY brings together Native youth, tribal leaders, and organizations in the public and private sector through roundtables, summits, and events held throughout Indian Country; houses a youth leadership program inspired by a White House initiative called Champions for Change; and most recently, partnered with the White House to launch a network aimed at re-moving barriers between Native youth and their opportunities to succeed.

COLLEGE EXCELLENCE PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/college-excellenceImproving college student outcomes is a vital national priority. Only half of all col-lege students graduate, college access and success remain strongly correlated to race and income, and evidence suggests that the learning that takes place in col-lege is too often limited and not well aligned with what students need to succeed. Over the past 50 years, increased college access has benefited millions of Amer-icans, but now the nation must get more students through college with the skills and abilities needed for success after graduating. The goal of this program is to identify and accelerate the replication of practices and policies that improve and make more equitable student success in learning, completion, and post-grad-uation employment. Several of the program’s initiatives relate to community colleges, including the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, which awards one million dollars biennially to the nation’s best community colleges and works to replicate exceptional college outcomes nationwide. A second communi-ty college project works to align the hiring and professional development of com-munity college presidents with the goals of improving student success. Extending the program’s reach into the four-year sector, three newer projects are addressing community college to university transfer, the future of the college presidency, and socioeconomic diversity at top American colleges and universities.

COMMUNICATIONS AND SOCIETY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/c&sThis program serves as a venue for global leaders and experts to exchange insights on the societal impact of advances in digital technology and network communications. It also creates a multidisciplinary space in the communications

policymaking world where veteran and emerging decision-makers can explore new concepts and develop policy networks. The program convenes approxi-mately 10 leadership roundtables each year on diverse subjects such as e-com-merce, internet governance, institutional innovation, spectrum policy, race and media, and diplomacy and technology. The program is also conducting ongo-ing projects on the future of public libraries and on connected learning. Leaders from across disciplines and perspectives engage in moderated discussions that culminate in specific conclusions and recommendations. Conference reports are distributed to key policymakers and opinion leaders around the world and are available to the public online.

COMMUNITY STRATEGIES GROUPwww.aspeninstitute.org/csgThis group helps leaders in rural, urban, and suburban communities act to-gether to create more vibrant regions that advance and sustain prosperity and wellbeing for local people, places, and firms, including those on the economic margins. CSG helps community leaders on the ground connect with and mo-tivate each other. It also equips them with the best ideas, tools, and strategies to improve community and economic results. The group’s hallmark approach is tailored, peer-to-peer exchanges in which community-based leaders create immediate back-home action plans. CSG also brings together disconnected leaders in specific geographic regions to collaborate and find common aims, and it connects community innovators with regional and national experts and funders. It distills community lessons into action guides, good-practice profiles, virtual peer-learning exchanges, and online resources. CSG builds and manag-es three networks of community-based practitioners and regional leaders from across the country, one focused on advancing family economic success, one on community development philanthropy, and another on the WealthWorks approach to regional economic development.

CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/congressionalThis is a nonpartisan, public policy education and civility-building program for members of the US Congress in which more than 30 percent of the current Congress has participated. At a time of Congressional gridlock and extreme partisanship, the program offers Republican and Democratic legislators the

opportunity to learn from internationally recognized academics and experts and to explore policy alternatives. It assists legislators in developing a deeper under-standing of public policy options and the personal relationships necessary to help Congress meaningfully address our nation’s problems. Although the pro-gram does not endorse specific legislation, for more than three decades it has provided a forum for discussion of policy issues that has often sown the seeds for significant policy initiatives. Current subjects include international economic and security issues; extremism; energy security; policy challenges in Africa; and US policy with regard to Russia, NATO, Asia, and the Middle East. The program is funded solely by foundations, and it annually sponsors two dozen breakfast meetings and four conferences for members of Congress. No lobbyists, con-gressional staff, or outside observers are permitted, and the House and Senate ethics committees review all conference agendas. The program also has a parallel educational effort as a resource for key congressional staff to analyze the most effective policies to deliver foreign development assistance.

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/eopThis program promotes strategies to help low-income Americans succeed in today’s dynamic economy. Its areas of focus include labor market strategies that enable low-income people to successfully engage and thrive in our rapidly changing economy, entrepreneurship and small or microenterprise development, and innovations that allow low-income Americans to build assets and achieve a measure of economic security. The program works closely with national and local leaders focused on building opportunity, including those from community colleges, community-based nonprofits, businesses, and economic development organizations, as well as elected officials, policy staff, and other stakeholders. It evaluates innovative and promising strategies, provides peer learning and lead-ership development opportunities for local leaders, develops practical tools that help organizations implement promising strategies, and promotes public conver-sation around the issues facing low-income Americans and ideas for promoting shared prosperity. The program includes three distinct initiatives: the Microenter-prise Fund for Innovation, Effectiveness, Learning, and Dissemination (FIELD); the Workforce Strategies Initiative; and Skills for America’s Future.

EDUCATION AND SOCIETY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/educationThe program works to improve public education by inspiring, informing, and influencing education leaders across policy and practice, with an emphasis on achieving equity for traditionally underserved students. The program facili-tates important conversations that are informed by research, experience, and divergent perspectives. The program also convenes workshops and roundtable discussions for federal, state, and local policymakers and their staffs; education leaders at all levels, from superintendents to teachers; and researchers to de-velop concrete solutions to complex problems. The program produces reports that inform national policy debates and tools and resources that deepen and accelerate the work of our partner states and districts.

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/eeThis program provides a neutral forum for constructive civil society dialogue on complex energy and environmental policy issues, thereby deepening knowl-edge, broadening perspectives, and enhancing the capacity of leaders to solve problems. The program’s core competency is convening strategic groups of experts from government, business, academia, and nonprofit organizations in dialogue structured and moderated for discussion, exploration, and consensus building. The program annually convenes the Forum on Global Energy, Econo-my, and Security, which focuses on global oil and gas; the Energy Policy Forum, which focuses on domestic electricity; the Clean Energy Forum, which focuses on innovation; and, more recently, the Aspen-Nicholas Water Forum and the Modern Shale Gas Production Forum. The program’s efforts to advance collec-tive knowledge about critical environmental problems include policy-changing

dialogues on global food security; domestic food insecurity and healthcare costs; water, sanitation, and hygiene; sustainable water use in the US; ocean conservation; the impact and governance of climate change in the Arctic; and Track II dialogues on climate change and energy.

GLOBAL ALLIANCES PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/gapThis program was established in response to the increasing need for and reli-ance on public-private alliances to take on the challenges that the public sector is unequipped to tackle on its own. As a platform for cross-sector collabora-tion, the Global Alliances Program has partnered with the Department of State to encourage US cooperation and investment in business and communities across the globe. These Partnership Opportunity Delegations are deployed in response to local communities’ priorities and result in business-to-business and people-to-people partnerships. To date, PODs have gone to Colombia, Myan-mar, and Tanzania; and PODs to Cuba, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Madagascar are planned. GAP has also partnered with the Department of Defense to foster a culture of innovation and learning within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The New Ideas @ OSD series brings experts from outside the national security field to the Pentagon to consult with Defense leadership on how to shape policy in ways that are innovative, adaptive, and effective in a changing and complex global security environment. By convening and facilitating partnerships be-tween the US public and private sectors, as well as their international counter-parts, GAP strives to build equitable, sustainable relationships between commu-nities and to foster greater development and prosperity.

HEALTH, MEDICINE, AND SOCIETY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/health This program creates opportunities for government, industry, academic, advo-cacy, and industry leaders to explore critical issues in health, health care, medi-cal science, and health policy in the US. The Health, Medicine, and Society Pro-gram facilitates knowledge exchanges and advances strategic thinking among these decision makers through nonpartisan, multi-disciplinary public policy programs and dialogue, including roundtables, briefings, conferences, and Internet forums. These convenings encourage collaborative networks among leading policymakers, health professionals, scientists, and advocates in a broad range of fields, while helping to inform and advance policies to improve the health of individuals, families, communities, the nation, and the world. In 2014, in collaboration with the Global Health and Development Program, HMS de-signed and hosted the inaugural Spotlight Health event, now the lead-in session to the annual Aspen Ideas Festival. HMS also contributed to projects sponsored by other policy programs (including Ascend and Energy and Environment) by helping to bring the health lens to their work. In addition, efforts continued and progress was made in establishing HMS initiatives in health policy and biomed-ical innovation, and new projects in bioethics and gun violence received initial funding support.

HOMELAND SECURITY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/securityYears have passed since 9/11, yet holes remain in America’s defenses against terrorism, heightening the risk of another attack. This program identifies gaps in the nation’s defenses against terrorism and recommends ways to close them. Through reports, roundtable discussions, Congressional testimony, and forums, it strives to convince policymakers, stakeholders, and the public at large to reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism.

INITIATIVE ON FINANCIAL SECURITYwww.aspeninstitute.org/ifs It is widely known that saving sparks entrepreneurship, fuels growth in capital markets, builds the middle class, and creates jobs for the future. But in an era of increasing income volatility and inequality, many families struggle to build a financial cushion, let alone a nest egg. The Aspen Initiative on Financial Secu-rity promotes an in-depth exploration of the most critical financial challenges facing America's families. Through its use of strategic convenings, dialogues, briefings, and publications, the program advances workable solutions that help hard working Americans manage economic shocks, become more financially re-silient, and get on track to pursue long term savings and investment goals. The Initiative moves stakeholder dialogue beyond diagnosis, to bring to the national forefront a solutions-focused discussion of how the rapidly evolving financial system and public policies can work together to improve the financial security and financial wellbeing of all Americans.

JUSTICE & SOCIETY PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/justiceFor four decades, the Justice & Society Program has convened individuals from diverse backgrounds to discuss the meaning of justice and how a just society ought to balance fundamental rights with the exigencies of public policy in order to meet contemporary social challenges and strengthen the rule of law. Through our public programming component — which includes the Susman Conversation on the Constitution and the Courts at Aspen, periodic roundtables at the Institute’s Washington office, and presentations by leading jurists — we bring to the table public officials, established and emerging opinion leaders,

and grassroots organizers to share their perspectives in a neutral and balanced forum. Recent and ongoing multi-year projects focus on law and policy issues, including religious free exercise (Inclusive America Project, 2012–2015), state public health policy (Excellence in State Public Health Law Program, 2013–2014 and 2015–2016), and judicial independence in the US and globally (ongoing). The annual Justice and Society Seminar, held in Aspen and co-founded by the late US Supreme Court Associate Justice Harry A. Blackmun, continues to be led by preeminent judges and law professors. The Justice Circle, an exclusive group of Justice & Society Program supporters co-chaired by Tristan Duncan and Steve Susman, was launched in January 2014. Through the Circle, friends of JSP maintain an ongoing connection to our work and enjoy special events.

MANUFACTURING AND SOCIETY IN THE 21ST CENTURY www.aspeninstitute.org/mfgThe US manufacturing sector has long been a source of good jobs and increas-es in the standard of living. In recent decades the relative decline of the sector has led to questions about its future viability.

partner of the Institute’s Food Security Strategy Group. By focusing on entrepre-neurship, education, energy diplomacy, and food security, these programs cat-alyze and convene networks of global leaders to deepen relationships between the US and the region, spur innovation, and create partnerships that enhance education and further economic development. Through high-level policy forums and on-the-ground initiatives, these programs contribute towards the prospects for enduring peace, ending the Arab-Israeli conflict, and bridging the US-Muslim divide. Program activities support free enterprise and entrepreneurship, thereby strengthening the region’s private sector and civic leadership.

PROGRAM ON PHILANTHROPY AND SOCIAL INNOVATIONwww.aspeninstitute.org/psiThrough convenings, leadership development initiatives, communications, and strategic partnerships, this program seeks to maximize the impact of social-sector leaders in contributing to the good society at home and abroad. It hosts the Aspen Philanthropy Group, an agenda-setting body of foundation leaders at the cutting edge of change, and it spurs dialogue among leaders from the private, public, and social sectors in working groups on specific issues of concern. Among the pro-gram’s current working group series is the Nonprofit Data Working Group, an effort to ensure high quality and accessible statistical data on social sector activity. Lead-ership development initiatives include the annual summer social enterprise, the American Express Foundation-Aspen Institute Fellowship for Emerging Nonprofit Leaders, as well as the Aspen Philanthropy Seminar and the Seminar for Mid-Ameri-ca Foundation CEOs. The program’s Artist-Endowed Foundations Initiative strength-ens the next generation of foundations endowed by visual artists by increasing the capacity of these new entities to fulfill their donors’ charitable intentions. The pro-gram’s policy work includes the Impact Economy Initiative, which seeks to create an enabling environment for investments and enterprises that generate both financial profit and positive social or environmental returns. To extend the reach of its net-working and share the knowledge generated by its convenings, the program hosts

philanthropy conferences on specific issues, including its upcoming conference on Advancing Equity through Opportunity, which will use a deliberative process to build and broaden a consensus among philanthropists on ways to combat inequali-ty and deepen its partnership with the Global Philanthropy Forum.

PROGRAM ON THE WORLD ECONOMYwww.aspeninstitute.org/pweBegun in 1981, this program promotes sustainable economic growth and finan-cial stability in the world economy by convening prominent leaders from both in-dustrial and developing nations. It uses an interdisciplinary approach to generate pragmatic solutions to major economic and financial challenges and to advance cooperation on key issues facing the global economic and financial system.

ROUNDTABLE ON COMMUNITY CHANGEwww.aspeninstitute.org/rccThe Roundtable on Community Change develops and implements strategies that produce vibrant, racially equitable communities and promote the wellbeing of children, youth, and families. Through careful research, convening, leadership programs, and working groups, the Roundtable builds knowledge and capacity across sectors, disciplines, cultures, races, and generations.

SPORTS AND SOCIETY PROGRAMwww.sportsandsociety.orgThis program convenes leaders, fosters dialogue, and inspires solutions that help sports serve the public interest. It covers a range of topics and, in 2013, launched the Aspen Institute’s Project Play, a multi-stage initiative that provides the thought leadership necessary to build “Sport for All, Play for Life” communities, which foster a culture of health. The first phase of Project Play culminated in the publication of "Sport for All, Play for Life: A Playbook to Get Every Kid in the Game," which offers a new model for youth sports in America based on health and inclusion and eight strategies that eight sectors can align behind to give every kid the opportunity to get active through sports. To catalyze activation around the report, the 2015 Project Play Summit brought together over 350 leaders in what was the premier event at the intersection of youth, sports, and health; there, 17 organizations, from Major League Baseball to the NCAA and key medical groups, made commit-ments to action. The program has also hosted panels or events on college sports amateurism, the concussion crisis, and the role of athlete-citizens. The release of this report kicked off the Project Play

Summit, a Sports & Society Program gathering of 350 leaders to improve youth sports in America.

THE ASPEN SEMINAR www.aspeninstitute.org/aspenseminarFor more than 60 years, this premier roundtable has challenged leaders in every field to think more critically and deeply. The seminar is a unique opportunity to step away from the demands of the present and reflect with other leaders in moderated, text-based Socratic dialogue on the concept of a good and just society: What is it, how does it become a reality, and what is our role in making it happen? The settings in Aspen, Colorado, and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore are ideal for rejuvenating the mind, body, and spirit of participants who emerge personally renewed and professionally refocused.

WYE ACADEMIC SEMINARS www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/wyeIn a longstanding collaboration with the Association of American Colleges and Universities, these seminars engage faculty, senior academic administrators, and college presidents in an exchange of ideas about education, citizenship, and the global polity. Sessions address the need for a liberal arts institution’s faculty and leadership to exchange ideas with colleagues from other colleges and disciplines while exploring the ideas and values that underlie their teaching. Modeled after the Aspen Seminar and offered at the Institute’s Wye River campus near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, the seminars focus on issues such as individual rights and responsibilities and the public purpose of education. Wye Faculty Seminars celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2013.

CUSTOM SEMINARSwww.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/customThese seminars are tailored to address specific leadership issues facing major corporations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. Building on the Institute’s historic strength in professional development through text-based dialogue, these seminars are led by skilled moderators who help organizational teams identify and align fundamental institutional and personal values, think critically and creatively about strategic and operational issues, and build a culture of cooperation and trust.

SOCRATES PROGRAMwww.aspeninstitute.org/socratesThis program has provided a forum for emerging young leaders from various professions to explore contemporary issues through expert-moderated dialogue for nearly 20 years. It also provides the opportunity for participants to enter a diverse professional network, as well as the broader range of the Institute’s programs. Its weekend-long seminars in Aspen, Colorado, and abroad, as well as daylong seminars in major US cities, are values-based Socratic explorations that facilitate the exchange of ideas. Select recent topics include privacy and technology; social entrepreneurship; big data; education innovation; the American dream; health reform; China and US competition; green investing; immigration; new leadership in the Middle East and North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan; social media; energy security; happiness economics; moral limits of markets, business, and technology; US Supreme Court decisions; ISIS and US policy; race and culture; and sustainable communities.

AspenX is a high-tech and high-touch Institute program for high school students that connects the virtual learning of Khan Academy with in-person seminars. This spring, 20 students participated in a seminar at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, where they rewrote the Fourth Amendment with Independence Hall providing the backdrop. All of the students had watched online Khan academy lessons with Institute-produced videos featuring US Supreme Court Associate Justices Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Lessons also featured the moderator of the day, Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center. Thousands of other students had participated in the lessons online in an official partnership with Khan Academy, one of the largest online learning platforms, which provides a “free world class education to anyone, anywhere.” In the fall of 2015, students in the San Francisco Bay area will meet to discuss two seminar topics: American diplomacy and privacy/civil liberties. They will use video lessons the Institute recently developed for Toolbox for American Diplomacy, featuring Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Gen. Colin Powell, Brookings Institution President Strobe Talbott, Harvard Professor Joe Nye, former Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Tara Sonenshine, and others. More information is available at aspenx.org.

LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS ASPEN GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK

Spurring Entrepreneurial Leaders to Move from “Success to Significance” www.aspeninstitute.org/leadership

The Aspen Global Leadership Network is a worldwide community of successful, high-integrity, action-oriented leaders committed to making the world a better place. Fellows are selected in groups of 20 to be part of one of 13 geographic or sector-specific initiatives around the world — all modeled after the Aspen Institute flagship Henry Crown Fellowship Program. They enter this experience having demonstrated a great deal of personal success and leave it inspired to make a greater mark on their communities and the world. Fellowship gatherings provide space for introspection, probing dialogue, and problem solving. Each Fellow is asked to bring his or her leadership to bear on a pressing societal concern by launching a new project or venture. From fighting rare genetic diseases, to providing healthy meals to school children, to battling corruption, Fellows bring their entrepreneurial spirit to bear on a variety of critical issues.

Today, the Aspen Global Leadership Network numbers more than 2,000 Fellows in 49 countries and continues to grow. The Network connects Fellows through forums like the online Fellow Exchange, as well as regular events like the Aspen Action Forum, an annual gathering that connects Aspen Global Leadership Network Fellows and other leaders from Aspen Institute programs and partners, spurring them to move from thought to action.

Campaign to Secure our Future

www.aspeninstitute.org/campaign

We have embarked upon an ambitious campaign, Scholars & Scholarships, to invest in promising and innovative young leaders who are working to secure our global future. From education to poverty to climate change, the need for conscientious and collaborative problem-solving has never been greater.

As part of the Aspen Institute family, Society of Fellows members play a critical role in sustaining and strengthening our work. We invite you to deepen your involvement and explore how your support can ensure the success of Scholars & Scholarships. Whether you support the Society of Fellows Leadership Fund or Named Scholars, your investment will have a direct and lasting impact on our ability to cultivate the next generation of conscientous leaders at home and abroad.What could be more important?

Society of Fellows Campaign Steering Committee

Over the past decade, the Aspen Institute has expanded its reach, energized its programs, and deepened its impact. Yet the growing complexity of global challenges requires us to do more — to engage more people, more deeply. The need for conscientious and collaborative leadership has never been greater.

With Scholars & Scholarships, the largest campaign in our history, the Aspen Institute aims to give donors the opportunity to influence a rising generation of innovators who are working to secure our global future.

We invite you to learn more about leveraging the Institute’s reach while realizing your philanthropic vision and building a legacy of positive change. With generous gifts from the donors listed in this Annual Report, the Campaign has raised $86 million toward a $100 million goal.

"We have participated in energy and environmental conferences at the Aspen Institute for over 25 years. In that time we observed many conversations that led to import-ant, nuanced insights, molding the opinions of the participants, many of whom then worked to shape US policy on these critical issues for our future. It is in these open-minded forums where the Aspen Institute’s belief that all knowledge starts with a conversation comes true."

– Mary Anne and Jim Rogers
