Celebrating 60 Years

2009 Overview and 2008 Annual Report

 60 Years of Continuity and Change

In the years immediately following World War II, Chicago businessman and philanthropist Walter
Paepcke—inspired by philosopher Mortimer Adler’s Great Books seminar at the University of
Chicago—decided to create in Aspen, Colorado, “a place where the human spirit can flourish.”

In 1949, he assembled scholars, writers, artists, and business and intellectual leaders in Aspen
to celebrate the bicentennial of the German poet and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
and to consider Goethe’s legacy in the contemporary world. The following year, Paepcke created
what is now the Aspen Institute. His participation in the Great Books seminar inspired the Institute’s
original offering, the Executive Seminar, created 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 matters 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 leaders, 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 sixty years 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.

“In his life and in his work, Goethe represented the universality rather
than the specialization of knowledge; humanity rather than the nation;
the dignity of the individual rather than the power of the state.”
— Aspen Institute founder Walter Paepcke on the 1949 Goethe Bicentennial Festival
in Aspen, Colorado–the event that set the stage for the Aspen Institute.

About the Aspen Institute

The Aspen Institute mission is twofold: to foster values-based leadership, encouraging

individuals to reflect on the ideals and ideas that define a good society, and to provide
a neutral and balanced 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 multi-year 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. It also has an international network of partners.

 Dawn of the Institute

Sixty Years of Embracing the Human Spirit

www.aspeninstitute.org

Sixty years ago, an international convocation and music festival was held in remote
Aspen, Colorado, that paid tribute to the great humanist Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe. An eclectic inspiration, perhaps, but this gathering gave rise to the Aspen
Institute. Cultural historian and writer James Sloan Allen describes the event.

9
F
or two weeks in late June and early July 1949, Aspen
brimmed with people eager to hear eminent thinkers and
to listen to great music and save the modern world. Albert
Schweitzer captivated his audience with eloquent simplicity,
telling them how “the spirit of Goethe” embraces both
“individualism” and “collective society,” implicitly bridging
the ideological divide of the Cold War. The renowned Spanish
philosopher Ortega y Gasset explained how the “radical crisis”
of Western civilization could be resolved through “a new pattern
of human existence” modeled on Goethe’s resolute optimism
despite the “shipwrecked” conditions of life. The prize-
winning American author Thornton Wilder extolled Goethe for
envisioning a “planetary consciousness” rooted in the creative
energy of humankind and expressed humanistically in “World
Literature.” Then Wilder concluded: “After these days at Aspen,
we must all change our lives.” Dozens of other distinguished
speakers from across the United States and Europe further
explored Goethe’s pertinence to the post-war world.

But the success of the Goethe festival came not from the formal events; it came largely from
what University of Chicago Chancellor Robert Maynard Hutchins, among others, dubbed the
“atmosphere.” Ortega and the publisher Kurt Wolff described this as an “atmosphere of harmony”
aroused by the “serious dedication of all present to things of the mind” with “the opportunity
to meet informally and to talk freely and at length with some of [our] most interesting and
stimulating contemporaries.” The philosopher William Ernest Hocking echoed the thought:
“A large part of the happiness of the affair,” he wrote, flowed from the “incidental personal
meetings” among a “variety of mankind”—speaking half a dozen languages—drawn to the
beautifully remote mountain town for probing reflections on civilization.

The searching humanistic discussions amid the

easy cosmopolitanism infected everyone at
the festival with a fresh feeling of common
humanity and new promise for the future.
Schweitzer remarked that the occasion “had
a great meaning for me” and “spiritual
significance for the USA.” Others found
it “an important landmark,” “a new
beginning,” “the finest experience of
my life,” “a near miracle,” and so on.

Before the festival folded its tent, such affirmations yielded a new idea. Wilder announced it to
the audience in a resolution calling for “the formation of a world council of international relations
to continue the work pioneered at these sessions.”

This resolution—modified by Ortega’s philosophical proposal to establish a

“most novel institution” dedicated to a “synthesis of human life” and
the “elegance” of cultural discipline, followed by Mortimer Adler’s
addition of Great Books seminars—led to
the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies,
inaugurated the next summer. Several
decades later, when the Institute’s activities
had grown more diverse and far-reaching,
the name became the Aspen Institute.

But the legacy of the Goethe festival

persists in the Institute’s many
programs bringing together, in Aspen
and elsewhere, thoughtful people
representing a “variety of mankind” to
“talk freely and at length” about the state
of the world and how to improve it in a humanistic
spirit. Here the “atmosphere” of the Goethe Bicentennial
celebration lives on.

 Seminars

Helping Leaders Reflect and Act on Ideas and Values

www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars

Aspen Institute seminars help leaders reflect on timeless ideas and values. Through
text-based dialogue with expert moderators and accomplished peers, the seminars
allow leaders to deepen their knowledge, refine their tools of intellectual analysis,
test the wellsprings of their convictions, and enhance their capacities to think more
creatively in solving the problems that confront society.

13
 Aspen Seminar
www.aspeninstitute.org/aspenseminar
For almost 60 years, the text-based dialogue of the
signature Aspen Seminar (formerly the Executive
Seminar) has challenged leaders in every field to
think more critically and deeply about leadership,
values, and the good society. The newly revised As-
pen Seminar curriculum of classic and contemporary
texts reflects the breadth of human civilization and
forms the basis of a rich conversational journey in
which distinguished participants from North America
are joined by accomplished leaders from around the
world. The questions posed by the diverse partici-
pants are frequently as illuminating as the varied,
timeless wisdom of the texts. Participants emerge
from the Aspen Seminar personally renewed and
professionally refocused.
14
Wye Seminars
www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/wye
These seminars assist professors and chief
academic officers from colleges and universi-
ties in relating their teachings to broad issues of
citizenship and the American polity. Offered at
the Institute’s Wye River campus near the Chesa-
peake Bay in Maryland, the seminars address the
central need of a liberal arts institution’s faculty
and leadership to exchange ideas with colleagues
from other colleges and disciplines while ex-
ploring the ideas and values that underlie their
teaching. Modeled after the Aspen Seminar, the
Wye Seminars focus on issues such as individual
rights and responsibilities and the public purpose
of education.
Custom Seminars
www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/custom
Custom Seminars enable organizations or com-
panies to co-develop one- to multi-day seminars
that address specific issues and opportunities
relevant to their day-to-day operations. These
seminars are often held at the Institute’s facili-
ties in Aspen, Colorado, or near the shores of
the Chesapeake Bay, or they may be conducted
at a site chosen by the contracting organization.
They can be tailored in length and content to suit
individual needs. The Institute’s Custom Semi-
nars program has grown to include many of the
world’s leading corporations.
Socrates Society
www.aspeninstitute.org/socrates

Since 1996, the Institute’s Socrates Society has

provided a forum for emerging leaders under 45
to come together from across the sectors of civil
society to explore contemporary issues through
expert-moderated dialogue. It also offers par-
ticipants the opportunity to enter into a diverse
professional network as well as the broader range
of Aspen Institute programs. Programs include
both weekend-long seminars in Aspen and day-
long salons in major US cities. The seminars are
values-based Socratic explorations of topics such
as the American economy, innovation, bioethics,
energy security, the future of democracy, religious
fundamentalism, globalization, and the media.

Africa Wildlife Seminar

www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/africa

Held at the Singita Game Reserve in South

Africa in partnership with the Africa Wildlife
Foundation, this seminar focuses on African
wildlife and wild-lands conservation as well as
African politics, sustainable development, and
human well-being. It includes moderated discus-
sions of readings, presentations by guest speak-
ers such as the former presidents of Tanzania and
Botswana, and safari drives led by experienced
African guides.

 Aspen Global
Leadership Network

Developing Entrepreneurial Leaders

at Home and Abroad
www.aspeninstitute.org/leadership

For more than a decade, the Aspen 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 common goal of encouraging
a new generation of civically engaged men and women to move “from success to
significance” and to apply their entrepreneurial 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 with the
goal of connecting leaders across programs and leveraging their talents on a global
basis. Today, the Aspen Global Leadership Network counts more than 900 Fellows from
43 countries, and it continues to grow.

Nearly 160 Fellows from 25 countries came to the ACT II Conference in June 2009
to celebrate the official launch and biennial gathering of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.

 Policy Programs and
Partnerships

Reflective Thought Leading to Constructive Action

www.aspeninstitute.org/policy-work

Aspen Institute policy programs advance public and private-sector knowledge on

significant policy issues confronting contemporary society. They convene leaders and
experts to reach constructive solutions to critical problems. While each program is
unique in substance and approach, they all share a commitment to advancing better
policy by bringing diverse perspectives together in pursuit of informed dialogue and
effective action.

27
 Advocacy and Exchange Program on
Agent Orange/Dioxin
www.aspeninstitute.org/dioxin_program
This two-year bipartisan program promotes dia-
logue in the US policy community and among US
and Vietnamese officials on eliminating the health
and environmental impact of wartime herbicides
in Vietnam. It sponsors meetings and briefings on
dioxin, the highly toxic chemical compound in the
defoliant Agent Orange, and strengthens US-Viet-
namese cooperation on mitigating contamination
problems. The program also builds public sup-
port through education and advocacy for practical
solutions, such as soil-restoration and community-
health programs, education and treatment centers,
improved services for those with dioxin-related
disabilities, local environmental training, and re-
mediation work at contaminated sites. In 2008, an
Aspen working group of American and Vietnam-
ese experts went to Hanoi to announce dioxin-con-
tainment measures at a former US military base, as
well as the expansion of health services to people
with dioxin-related illnesses and the establishment
of a dioxin-testing laboratory.

Aspen Network of Development

Entrepreneurs (ANDE)
www.aspeninstitute.org/ande
ANDE is a network of organizations that support
entrepreneurship in developing countries. The
network seeks to forge a movement that builds on
microfinance, but aims at the next level up­—on
small and growing businesses that can create even
greater economic, social, environmental benefits.
Members of ANDE include nonprofits, investment

funds, foundations, and research institutions that
provide capital, training and/or business-develop-
ment services to small and growing businesses.
ANDE advocates to policymakers and financial
leaders on behalf of investing in these businesses,
hosts conferences and training programs for practi-
tioners and investors, and provides financial support
to innovative partnerships aimed at improving
services to emerging-market entrepreneurs. Recent
events have included a workshop on approaches
to monitoring and evaluating the impact of social
investing and an orientation training session to
introduce new employees of network members to
the opportunities and challenges of serving entre-
preneurs in the developing world.
Aspen Strategy Group
www.aspeninstitute.org/asg
How can America’s national security establish-
ment better adapt to nascent threats and national
security challenges? As current global trends defy
traditional notions of international relations, what
common global problems do nations face in the
21st century? This program examines foreign
policy trends outside the Cold War dichotomies
of friends and foes by focusing on transnational
issues that blend foreign and domestic subjects.
It was 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
program has moved beyond its Cold War origins
and today includes a new generation of policy-
makers representing a range of perspectives. The
approach, however, has remained constant: Use a
bipartisan lens to identify the most contentious for-
eign policy and national security concerns facing
our nation and assess America’s evolving interests.
Recent workshops, briefings, and reports have
covered the national security implications of glob-
al climate change, China in the 21st century, and
the challenge of nuclear proliferation. An ongoing
US-India dialogue also meets under the auspices
of the group, as well as the Aspen Atlantic Group,
a forum for former North American and European
foreign ministers from across the political spec-
trum who develop nonpartisan recommendations
for addressing common global challenges.
Business and Society Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/bsp
The premise is simple: Change the way you
educate people and you can change the world. For
this program, change is achieved by developing
business leaders for a sustainable global soci-
ety. Through dialogue, research, and curriculum
development, the program creates opportunities
for executives and educators to explore new routes
to business sustainability and values-based lead-
ership. Its Center for Business Education (www.
AspenCBE.org) works with business schools
and serves as a source for innovative curricula.
Projects include Beyond Grey Pinstripes (www.
beyondgreypinstripes.org), a survey and rank-
ing of business schools that integrate social and
environmental stewardship into their curricula and
research; CasePlace.org (www.caseplace.org), a
resource for online case studies and MBA teaching
29
 materials on topics ranging from corporate gov-
ernance and accountability to entrepreneurship,
ethics, and stakeholder management; and Giving
Voice to Values (www.AspenCBE.org/teaching/
gvv) a new research- and curriculum-development
effort offering cases, bibliographies, and teach-
ing guides that enable educators to help students
develop the skills they need to voice their values
in the workplace. To change the way business
looks at its role in a global society, the program
released the Aspen Principles as part of a report on
Long-term Value Creation: Guiding Principles for
Corporations and Investors by the Aspen Corpo-
rate Values Strategy Group. It continues to add
signers to the principles and works with corpora-
tions, investment firms, and corporate-governance
professionals to turn these principles into practice.
In 2009, the program launched the First Mov-
ers Fellowship, an innovation lab for exceptional
business professionals who have implemented
breakthrough strategies that create profitable busi-
ness growth and, at the same time, contribute to a
sustainable society.
Commission on No Child Left Behind
www.nclbcommission.org
This is a bipartisan effort to identify and build sup-
port for improvements in federal education policy
to ensure that the nation has effective tools to spur
academic achievement and close the achievement
gap. Following a comprehensive review process
with extensive public input, the Commission
released a blueprint for strengthening the land-
mark No Child Left Behind Act by preserving the
law’s core principles and making needed changes
to accelerate progress toward achieving its goals,
particularly in the areas of teacher and principal
effectiveness, robust accountability and data,
higher academic standards, stronger high schools,
30
and increased options for students. The Commis-
sion continues to advocate bold reform during No
Child Left Behind’s reauthorization process and
consideration of related measures in pursuit of an
excellent education for all children. It is co-chaired
by Tommy Thompson, former US secretary of
health and human services, and Roy Barnes,
former governor of Georgia, and includes nation-
ally recognized leaders from all levels of public
education governance, higher education, business,
and the civil rights community.
Communications and Society Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/c&s
This program serves as a venue for global lead-
ers and experts to exchange insights on the so-
cietal impact of advances in digital technology
and network communications. It also creates a
multidisciplinary space in the communications
policy-making world where veteran and emerg-
ing decision-makers can explore new concepts
and develop new policy networks. The Program
convenes approximately ten leadership round-
tables each year covering such subjects as new
technologies and democratic values, business
models to sustain journalism, communications
industries and the environment, the effect of media
coverage on Arab-US relations, mobile media and
civic engagement, cloud computing and identity,
and broadband communications policies. Leaders
from diverse disciplines and perspectives engage
in moderated discussions that culminate in specific
conclusions and recommendations. Meetings have
led, for example, to the creation of new Internet-
based educational opportunities abroad and the
formulation of new telecommunications policies
allowing US schools and libraries to connect to
the Internet at greatly reduced cost. Conference
reports are distributed to key policymakers and
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.
The Group convenes action-learning sessions for
teams from multiple locations and organizes site
visits for peer communities to examine exem-
plary community change at close range. It brings
together diverse, disconnected leaders from a
specific geographic region to find common aims
and to start working together. The Group also
connects community innovators with regional and
national experts and funders. It develops com-
munity lessons into action guides, good-practice
profiles, and Web resources that stimulate and in-
form other community leaders. Through its Rural
Development Philanthropy Learning Network, the
program has helped hundreds of community-based
business, nonprofit, church, government, and civic
leaders work together to grow locally controlled
philanthropic funds and to use them to improve
community outcomes. In its Family Economic
Success initiative, the Group is engaging a grow-
ing network of community-level leaders across the
country to help hard-working, low-income fami-
lies find ways to earn more, keep more of what
they earn, and grow what they save into assets that
reduce family and community poverty over time.

 Congressional Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/congressional
This nongovernmental, nonpartisan educa-
tional initiative for members of the US Congress
strengthens lawmakers’ grasp of critical public
policy issues. The program holds high-level
conferences offering legislators the opportunity
to learn from internationally recognized academ-
ics, experts, and leaders and to explore various
policy alternatives. Current subjects include
political Islam as a US policy challenge, energy
security and climate change, US-China relations,
governance and ideology of Islam, and education
reform. Over the years, hundreds of members of
Congress, international parliamentarians, political
and government leaders, and scholar-experts have
been involved in the program. There is no identi-
fication with a political or party viewpoint and no
endorsement of specific legislation. No lobbyists,
congressional staff, or outside observers are per-
mitted, and all conference agendas are reviewed
by the House and Senate ethics committees. Each
year, the Congressional Program also sponsors two
dozen breakfast meetings in the Capitol featuring
distinguished scholars and international experts.

Council of Women World Leaders

www.cwwl.org
This international network of current and former
women presidents, prime ministers, and cabinet
members mobilizes the highest level of women
leaders globally for action on issues important
to women. The Council gives collective voice to
women in high government positions and enhanc-
es the experience of democracy around the world
by increasing the visibility, effectiveness, and
number of women leaders. It promotes ministerial-
level exchange on global issues, addressing the
particular challenges women face.

To foster the Council’s ongoing work with women
ministers, it has established ministerial initiatives
on the environment, culture, and health. It is also
an active partner in the Ministerial Leadership
Initiative for Global Health, a four-year program
designed to build the capacity of ministers of
health in developing countries and to leverage the
power of women ministers of health. In 2009, the
Council hosted a private meeting for its member-
ship on the occasion of the International Collo-
quium on Women’s Empowerment, Leadership
Development, International Peace, and Security,
for which it was an organizing partner. It supports
the development of rising leaders and administers
a graduate fellowship program that pairs promis-
ing students with the offices of Council members
and other leaders, many of whom are women. The
fellowship program was expanded this year to
collaborate with graduate schools of public health,
placing Fellows in the offices of women minis-
ters of health and with international organizations
worldwide. Since 2007, the Madeleine K. Albright
Women’s Voices at the Aspen Institute series, a
public program, has provided a space for discus-
sions on global issues of particular importance to
women and policy areas where women have taken
the lead in combating global problems.
Economic Opportunities Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/eop
This initiative advances strategies that connect
the poor and underserved to the mainstream
economy. It provides practical tools, training, and
research-based information to organizations that
help low-income individuals start a business, find
a better job, and build wealth. The program works
with funders, policymakers, and nonprofit leaders
on research projects, and it convenes meetings and
publishes reports on access to capital and credit,
microenterprise, and workforce development.
Projects in these areas include helping low-income
individuals and their communities connect to
mainstream financial services, staffing a funders’
group that sponsors a forum on microenterprise
strategies, and hosting a professional development
forum for selected workforce-development leaders
that strengthens their ability to educate, train, and
help low-income individuals find good-paying
jobs. The Aspen Scale Institute, a working group
of the Economic Opportunities Program, explores
how to improve the typical business model of
community-based organizations, in which they
stay small and local and serve limited numbers
of people despite the magnitude of the need. The
group carries out research on ways nonprofits can
organize themselves differently to increase the
size and scope of what they do. Under the auspices
of the Program’s Workforce Strategies Initiative
(www.aspenwsi.org), six partnerships involving
nonprofit organizations and community colleges in
the United States are being funded to help low-in-
come working adults succeed in school and on the
job. The program’s current microenterprise work
includes administering the Scale Academy for Mi-
croenterprise Development, which supports leading
US microenterprise programs with grants, technical
assistance, and peer-learning opportunities.
Education and Society Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/education
The challenges of America’s urban schools are
daunting: More than eight million students read
below grade-level, 50 percent of teachers leave
teaching within five years, and barely one-in-ten
low-income students will ever graduate from
college. Recognizing the importance of effective
education policy to support improvement in class-
rooms and schools, the program convenes work-
shops with federal, state, and local policymakers
and education leaders, researchers, and analysts
33
 to provide ongoing and consistent peer-to-peer
learning and professional development focused
on common challenges. Through a set of learning
networks among leaders of urban school districts,
the program facilitates knowledge-sharing among
local, state, and national education leaders about
how school systems can improve the education
and life chances of all students. Participants work
to identify solutions that will support, nurture, and
develop a new cadre of school system, school, and
classroom leaders. In addition, the Aspen Senior
Education Congressional Staff Network informs
the development of federal policy by assisting
congressional staff in better understanding the best
innovations in the field, shared challenges, and
the impact of federal education laws on states and
urban school districts.
Energy and Environment Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/ee
This program stimulates open-minded dialogue
about the state of the natural world, global en-
ergy and environmental challenges, and sustain-
able solutions. Acknowledging the complexity of
environmental problems, it takes an interdisciplin-
ary approach that draws on the knowledge and
experiences of leaders in science, government,
business, and civil society. The program strives to
have a positive impact on policy and raises public
attention through policy dialogues and forums,
a leadership initiative, and major public events.
For more than three decades, its Energy Policy
Forum has convened senior industry, government,
environmental, and other leaders to report on a
broad range of energy issues, including climate
change, electricity markets, nuclear power, renew-
able fuels, and fuel efficiency. The Global Forum
on Energy, Economy, and Security, attended by
experts and policymakers, offers pointed discus-
34
sion on oil and gas issues and global markets. In
2009, the program continues to advance policy
discussions on climate-change impacts in the Arc-
tic, sustainable-water infrastructure investments
in the United States, and international institutional
responsibilities for validating emerging carbon
markets. It spearheads the Catto Fellowship Pro-
gram, a two-year initiative that introduces young
environmental professionals to each other through
discussions and projects emphasizing the values
and leadership necessary for effective collabora-
tion. The program has also partnered with the
National Geographic Society to convene the Aspen
Environment Forum, an annual public event that
presents a rich array of issues, including climate
change, conservation, energy, biodiversity, sustain-
able development, water and ocean resources, and
economic and community development. With all
of these efforts, the program advances collabora-
tive dialogue and collective knowledge to help
solve critical environmental problems.
Global Initiative on Culture and Society
www.aspeninstitute.org/cultureandsociety
What will it take to persuade governments, busi-
ness, and civil society to invest in cultural diplo-
macy and understand that culture is vital to inter-
national relations, socioeconomic development,
and global security? 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. Evidence shows that a vibrant
arts and culture sector can hasten the overall
political, economic, and social development of a
community, nation, or region. This initiative seeks
to build a neutral platform for reflection, network-
building, policy formulation, leadership develop-
ment, and resource mobilization in the fields of
arts, culture, and socioeconomic development.
Through domestic and international roundtables,
forums, seminars, and summits, its work fosters
leadership and raises awareness of the crucial
value of arts and culture in human development,
employment creation, cross-cultural dialogue,
international exchanges, peace-building, and the
pursuit of happiness. The initiative convenes and
creates networks of leading professionals from
diverse backgrounds to share information, gener-
ate arts and culture policy debates, and seed new
actions. Recent activities include the inaugural
Aspen Cultural Diplomacy Forum in Paris, a pub-
lic dialogue on “Power of Words/Words of Power:
Reflections on Martin Luther King Jr.’s Vision and
Legacy,” and the Arab Arts and Culture Forum
held during “Arabesque: Arts of the Arab World,”
an international festival at the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts. The initiative is
planning the second Aspen Cultural Diplomacy
Forum, scheduled for September 15-17, 2009, in
Aviles, Spain.

Global Interdependence Initiative

www.aspeninstitute.org/gii
Many nonprofit organizations and their founda-
tion funders provide direct social services, but
many also want to address the underlying causes
of the social ills they combat in the United States
and worldwide. Service delivery is relatively easy
to measure. Advocating for deeper policy and
social change is not. This program helps nonprofit
organizations and funders plan, conduct, evaluate,
and improve their advocacy efforts. Continuous
Progress Strategic Services, the initiative’s con-
sulting practice, has become its principal activ-
ity. It advises leading foundation and nonprofit

 organizations that want to inform and engage
policymakers and citizens on a range of domestic
and international policy issues. The broader pro-
gram of the Initiative disseminates practical advice
about advocacy techniques to a wider public and
practitioner audience through a lively blog and at
meetings and conferences for policy advocates and
experts. It has developed a range of Web-based
tools and services for planning, evaluating, and
improving policy advocacy, available at www.
continuousprogress.org.

Harman-Eisner Program in the Arts

www.aspeninstitute.org/policy-work/
harman-eisner-arts
This initiative was established in 2008 to increase
the presence and importance of the arts at the
Aspen Institute and to enhance the presence of the
arts in society at large. In recent years, the Aspen
conversation has been conducted mostly in the
languages of science, business, politics, and social
policy. It needs to include artists, philanthropists,
arts administrators, writers, policymakers, and pa-
trons, and the goal of the Harman-Eisner program
is to expand the Institute’s already vital dialogue
to encompass the different ways of thinking and
communicating fostered by the arts. The program
seeks to reach every part of the Aspen community.
A distinguished artist-in-residence program has
been created at the Aspen Ideas Festival, and art-
ists are joining Aspen seminars and symposia on
all topics. An Aspen Roundtable on Arts, Culture,
and Education has begun in Washington to con-
vene leaders in those fields to discuss topics of
public importance. The Aspen Writers’ Foundation
has joined the Aspen Institute, greatly enhanc-
ing the Institute’s ability to create significant

programs, workshops, and festivals for writers,
readers, and students. Other programs and partner-
ships are under development to enliven the Aspen
community with the energy of artistic creativity.
Health, Biomedical Science, and
Society Initiative
www.aspeninstitute.org/health
As governments and people worldwide strive to
reduce disease and unlock the secrets to living
longer, healthier lives, medical science and in-
novations in health care have moved forward at an
accelerated pace. This program increases public
awareness and facilitates strategic dialogue to has-
ten the adoption of proven advances in medicine,
to eliminate health care disparities, and to improve
the health of all people. Through public programs,
roundtable discussions, policy briefings, large
conferences, targeted discussions, and Internet
discussion forums, the initiative helps to chart the
way forward by convening the foremost experts on
health and policy. Its nonpartisan approach incor-
porates the views of health care industry leaders,
world-class scientists, physicians, economists,
historians, policymakers, patients, and other key
stakeholders. The initiative brings cutting-edge
health care and medical science to the public
square, where it belongs. It draws on the guidance
of nationally prominent advisors in support of its
projects, including the Aspen Health Steward-
ship Project, an effort to broaden and reframe the
national dialogue on health care reform; the Future
Medicine Project, an attempt to address critical
roadblocks to the implementation and adoption of
new health care technologies; the Aspen Health
Forum, the world’s only public gathering where
laypeople can exchange ideas with Nobel laure-
ates, prominent NIH officials, health care industry
leaders, and health policy experts from govern-
ment and academia; and the newest project, the
Aspen Global Health and Nutrition Task Force,
an international group whose goal is to reduce
the number of obese children in the world and the
number of children who suffer from malnutrition.
Homeland Security Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/security
Years have passed since 9/11, yet holes remain in
America’s defenses against terrorism, heightening
the risk of another terrorist attack. This program
identifies gaps in the nation’s defenses against
terrorism and recommends ways to close them.
Through reports, roundtable discussions, congres-
sional testimony, and forums, it strives to influence
policymakers, stakeholders, and the public at large
to reduce our vulnerability to terrorism.
Initiative on Financial Security
www.aspeninstitute.org/ifs
Saving sparks entrepreneurship, increases the
gross domestic product, builds the middle class,
and creates jobs for the future. But America’s sys-
tem of savings is broken. Working toward restor-
ing financial security to all Americans, the initia-
tive is the nation’s leading policy program focused
on bold solutions to help all Americans at every
stage of life save, invest, and own. In roundtable
and panel discussions and other forums, it brings
together federal legislators, policy experts, and
high-ranking officials from financial institutions to
find ways to make it easier for low- and moderate-
income families to build financial assets and save
for their futures. The initiative also researches
37
 new approaches to savings policy and works with
members of Congress to develop legislation that
would encourage more Americans to save. The
initiative has published Savings for Life, a report
that outlines new ideas to help all Americans save
for their children, the purchase of a home, and
retirement.
Justice and Society Program
www.aspeninstitute.org/justice
Some people think human rights abuses take place
only in faraway places under oppressive regimes,
but there are many serious human rights concerns
in the United States, particularly in the wake
of 9/11. What constitutes torture, and is it ever
justified? Are military commissions legal? What
are the US obligations to refugees? This program
works to promote an understanding of, and adher-
ence to, international human rights. For more than
20 years, it has led seminars to educate federal
judges on human rights and humanitarian law.
It also convenes individuals from government,
business, nonprofits, and the military to address
pressing questions of international justice, includ-
ing transitional justice in post-conflict settings,
human rights protection in peacekeeping opera-
tions, and the US relationship to the International
Criminal Court. The program annually convenes
the Justice and Society Seminar, co-founded by
former Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun,
where participants explore fundamental issues
of justice, including private and public morals,
entitlements, economic disparities, race, gender,
and whether justice has meaning beyond national
borders. Today, preeminent judges and law profes-
sors continue to lead these sessions on enduring
questions of justice and society.
38
Market Building Initiative
www.aspeninstitute.org/mbi
This initiative addresses one of the most prob-
lematic issues of international development: the
proliferation of fragile or failed states across the
world and the inability to stabilize them in new
and pragmatic ways. It takes a market-oriented ap-
proach to generating innovative ideas for private-
sector development, and it proposes coherent
strategies for positive economic change informed
by the realities of a globalized world. The initia-
tive looks for ways to foster common interests
among economic stakeholders through the creation
of rules, structures, and programs that support
legitimate market activities. Recent events have
included high-level discussions with economic
policymakers on market-building in a number of
fragile contexts and a roundtable discussion with
Afghanistan’s minister of rural rehabilitation and
development on how to empower communities to
implement successful reconstruction and develop-
ment projects.
Middle East Programs
www.aspeninstitute.org/mideast
Focused on a comprehensive approach to the
Middle East, these programs include the US-Pales-
tinian Public-Private Partnership, the US-Iran Dia-
logue, and the US-Lebanon Dialogue. Incubated
by the Middle East Strategy Group, they include
prominent American and Middle Eastern business
and political leaders dedicated to a peaceful reso-
lution to all Middle East conflicts. Creating and
nurturing stakeholders for peace on the ground in
the region and in the United States, the programs
focus on pragmatic economic and policy initiatives
that advance prospects for peace, build trust, and
enhance regional stability and economic develop-
ment. The Middle East Strategy Group engages in
dialogue, strategizes, and develops new projects
that will advance the prospects for enduring peace
in the region and end the Arab-Israeli conflict. It
develops targeted economic projects to benefit
ordinary Middle Eastern private entrepreneurs and
moderate political leaders. Together the programs
strengthen the regional private sector and civic
leadership by serving as a leadership and network-
ing forum. They also create domestic political
space in the United States to support government
peace efforts in the region.

Program on Philanthropy and

Social Innovation
www.aspeninstitute.org/psi
The social sector—those unique nonprofit pro-
grams, philanthropies, and partnerships that are the
heart of civil society—is a major force working to
develop lasting solutions to many national and in-
ternational challenges. Through leadership-devel-
opment initiatives, convenings, and communica-
tions, this program seeks to inform and maximize
the impact of these social-sector leaders so that
each can contribute to the good society at home
and abroad. The program’s theory of change rests
on the premise that, if leaders have clarity about
their values, are collaborative in their approach to
problem-solving, and are aware of the strategies
and potential partnerships available to them, they
are more likely to succeed in advancing the social
good. The program hosts the Aspen Philanthropy
Group, an agenda-setting body of foundation,
nonprofit, and private-sector leaders at the cutting
edge of change. The issues its members identify
are subsequently considered in cross-sector work-
ing groups, with the aim of gaining consensus
where possible and spurring collaborative action
when opportune. Among the current workshop

cessible statistical data on social-sector activity.
The program’s leadership-development initiatives
include the American Express Foundation-Aspen
Institute Fellowship for Emerging Nonprofit Lead-
ers; the Aspen Philanthropy Seminar-Aspen; the
Aspen Philanthropy Seminar-Greater Washington,
DC; and the Seminar Series for Mid-America
Foundation CEOs. Its communications program
includes the Aspen Philanthropy Letter, an e-news-
letter on ideas and developments that may affect
the philanthropic field for years to come.

Program on the World Economy

www.aspeninstitute.org/pwe
Begun in 1981, this program seeks to promote
sustainable economic growth and financial stabil-
ity in the world economy by convening promi-
nent leaders from both industrial and developing
nations. It uses an interdisciplinary approach to
generate pragmatic solutions to major economic
and financial challenges and to advance coopera-
tion on key issues facing the global economic and
financial system.

Realizing Rights:

www.aspeninstitute.org/egi
This initiative aims to put human rights principles
and standards at the heart of global governance

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.
