A Place Where the Human Spirit Can Flourish

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

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

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

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

Page 4: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

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

About the Aspen Institute

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

– Walter Isaacson, President and CEO

Seminars

For decades Aspen Institute seminars have created a

respite from the pace of daily life and an opportunity to

deliberate on lasting ideas and values in the

company of one’s peers. They help leaders deepen their

knowledge, broaden their perspectives, and enhance

their capacities to think creatively and strategically about

solutions to the problems that confront society.

The seminars challenge civic and business leaders

and others to rethink the meaning of “the good society” and

explore in small groups the ideas and values that have shaped

human history. They are based on classical and contemporary

readings and are led using the Socratic method.

The Aspen Seminar www.aspeninstitute.org/aspenseminar

For more than 50 years, the text-based dialogue of the signature Aspen Seminar (formerly the Ex-ecutive Seminar) has challenged leaders in every field to think more critically and deeply about leadership, values and the good society. The newly revised Aspen Seminar curriculum of classic and contemporary texts reflects the breadth of human civilization—Western, Asian, and African—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 participants are frequently as illuminating as the varied, timeless wisdom of the texts. Partici-pants emerge from the Aspen Seminar personally renewed and professionally refocused.

The Nature and Society Seminar www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/nature

(Offered only in Aspen in 2008.)First launched as the “Wilderness Seminar” in 2005, Nature and Society places the Aspen Insti-tute’s classic tradition of readings and Socratic dialogue in a wilderness setting, focusing on the

complementary—and contradictory—ideas of nature and the good society. A trained natural-ist will join an Institute moderator in exploring sustainability, environmental ethics, and the degree to which nature can be understood outside of our social context. Most of the seminar discussions are outdoors, and two of the nights are spent at scenic historic sites in the high country near Aspen accessed by moderate hike. Expect a stimulating blend of body, mind, and spirit—in the best Aspen Institute tradition.

Wye Faculty Seminar www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/wye

This seminar assists professors from colleges and universities in relating their teachings to broad issues of citizenship and American policy. Offered at the Institute’s Wye River campus near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, it addresses the central need of a liberal arts institution’s faculty: to exchange ideas with colleagues from other col-leges and disciplines while exploring the ideas and values that underlie their teaching. Modeled after the Aspen Seminar, it focuses 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 compa-nies to co-develop one- to multi-day seminars that address specific issues and opportunities relevant to their day-to-day operations. These seminars are held at the Institute’s facilities in Aspen, Colorado, or near the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. They can be tailored in length and content to suit indi-vidual needs. In addition to continued work with groups such as the Young Presidents Organization, American Chamber of Commerce Executives, and The Ethics Officers Association, the Institute’s Custom Seminars program has grown to include many of the world’s leading corporations.

Socrates Societywww.aspeninstitute.org/socrates

Socrates Society is a forum in which next genera-tion thought leaders come together for seminars over long weekends in Aspen and for salons in cities across the country to explore contemporary

leadership issues. Participants wrestle with such diverse and important topics as energy security, civil liberties in times of war, bioethical dilemmas, media and values, and humanity and power. Socrates is a growing and vital entry point for young leaders into the broader range of program-ming that the Institute offers.

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 new seminar will focus on African wildlife and wildlands conservation and African politics, sustainable development, and human well-being. It will include moderated discussions of readings, presentations by guest speakers, including the former presidents of Tanzania and Botswana, and safari drives led by experienced African guides.

“We live in the postmodern world, where everything is possible and almost nothing is certain. This state of affairs has its social and political consequences. The planetary civilization to which we belong confronts us with global challenges. We stand helpless before them because our civilization has essentially globalized only the surface of our lives.”

Public Programs

A growing number of public programs open the doors

of the Institute to a larger audience, offering opportunities to

engage in the same thoughtful, nonpartisan inquiry

that leaders do at conferences and seminars.

Aspen Global Leadership Network

For more than a decade, the Institute has supported programs for

accomplished leaders in the US and around the world. Beginning with the

creation of the Henry Crown Fellowship Program, these initiatives share a com-

mon goal of encouraging a new generation of civically engaged

men and women to move “from success to significance” and apply their entre-

preneurial talents to addressing the foremost challenges of their organizations,

communities, and countries.

The programs share a common basic structure. Each one selects a class of

Fellows, approximately 20 proven leaders between the ages of 30 and

45, and convenes them several times over the course of two years for a series

of intensive leadership seminars. Fellows are also required to design

and carry out high-impact community projects.

The Institute has gathered its leadership Fellows and initiatives into an international network whose goal is to connect Fellows to one another

across programs and leverage their talents on a global basis.

Today the Aspen Global Leadership Network counts more than 800 Fellows

from 38 countries, and it continues to grow. In 2007, the network

marked the tenth anniversary of the Henry Crown Fellowship Program by con-

vening more than 250 Fellows from the various leadership initiatives, and in

2008, it held its first alumni seminar in South Africa.

Henry Crown Fellowship Programwww.aspeninstitute.org/crown

Founded in 1997 and based on the Institute’s time-tested method of text-based dialogue, this program challenges the next generation of acomplished young leaders to use their talents and energies to make a difference in the world. Fellows participate in four seminars on values-centered leadership and grapple with the Aristotelian concept of the good society and the role of leaders in achieving it. Senior mentors from the top ranks of business and civil society provide advice and support during the program while Fellows undertake community leadership projects designed to put principles into practice.One of the program’s most important ingredients is the interaction among the Fellows themselves. When they come together in Aspen they become one another’s preceptors, and the lessons they learn from each other expand their frontiers and deepen their understanding of the challenges of leadership in a multicultural world.This program honors the memory of Chicago industrialist Henry Crown (1896–1990), whose career was marked by a lifelong commitment to honor, integrity, industry, and philanthropy.

Africa Leadership Initiativewww.africaleadership.net

This initiative is a collaborative venture of the Institute and the Databank Foundation in Ghana, Infotech Investments in Tanzania, LEAP Africa in Nigeria, the Letsema Foundation in South Africa, CETA Construction and Services in Mozambique, and TechnoServe, a US nongovernmental organiza-tion that uses business solutions to address rural

poverty. Founded in 2001 by a group of Henry Crown Fellows in order to apply the ideals of that program to locations in Africa where leader-ship issues underlie many national challenges, the initiative is designed to develop a new generation of effective, enlightened, and engaged leaders in business, government, and civil society across the African continent. The Africa Leadership Initia-tive now has programs in West Africa, East Africa, South Africa, and Mozambique. Fellows between the ages of 30 and 50 are drawn from Ghana, Ke-nya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. Recently they have joined hands on such problems as political upheaval in Kenya, xenophobic violence in South Africa and labor law negotiations in Mozambique.

Central America Leadership Initiativewww.aspeninstitute.org/caliIn 2004, two Henry Crown Fellows created this leadership initiative in partnership with TechnoServe, a US nongovernmental organiza-tion that uses business solutions to address rural

poverty; INCAE, Latin America’s leading business school; and FUNDEMAS, the Salvadoran chapter of Business for Social Responsibility. It was for-malized in 2007 as the nonprofit Central America Leadership Foundation. The initiative is designed to stimulate a new generation of Central American leaders in business, government, and civil society to engage more fully in the contemporary chal-lenges faced by their nations and region. Fellows come from six countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

India Leadership Initiativewww.aspeninstitute.org/ili

Launched in 2006 under the guidance of a Henry Crown Fellow, this initiative is a collaborative venture with the Institute, the Aspen Institute India, and the Global Markets Institute of Goldman Sachs. Fellows come from business, government,

and nongovernmental organizations across the world’s largest democracy. They are supplemented by specially selected Goldman Sachs Aspen India Fellows who are recruited from the firm’s global network. Together they explore the values that drive leadership and India’s place in the world, identifying ways to work together to improve Indian society. In 2007, Fellows from India and South Africa participated together for the first time in a seminar on the effects of globalization.

Nigeria Leadership Initiative Senior Fellows Programwww.nigerialeadershipinitiative.com

Begun in 2006 by Segun Aganga, a managing director of Goldman Sachs International, and Dr. Christopher Kolade, Nigeria’s then High Com-missioner to the United Kingdom, this program provides a platform for successful senior leaders in

Page 17: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

17

Nigeria as well as Nigerian leaders in Europe, Asia, and the US to influence the future development of the most populous country in Africa. The mission of the initiative is to create a growing network of accomplished and community-spirited Nigerian leaders committed to improving their values-based leadership skills and ready to take responsibility for positive change in their country and communities.

Liberty Fellowship Programwww.libertyfellowshipsc.orgThe Liberty Fellowship is a program for young leaders in South Carolina who are significant contributors to their state and to society at large. Founded by Institute trustee Hayne Hipp, Liberty Fellowship is a partnership of Hipp, the Aspen Institute and Wofford College where it is based. The Liberty Fellowship seeks to promote outstand-ing leadership in South Carolina, empowering the state and its leaders to realize their full potential. Founded in 2003, it aims to offer South Carolinians the opportunity to explore the values that sustain them and to cultivate respect for both the ideas and beliefs of others.

Catto Fellowship Programwww.aspeninstitute.org/ee/cattoEstablished in 2007 by Aspen Institute trustee Henry Catto and his wife, Jessica, this program gathers emerging leaders from business, govern-ment, and civil society to work collaboratively across public, private, and nonprofit lines to find creative solutions to global environmental prob-lems. Fellows take intensive seminars focused on the requirements of effective environmental leadership, and they design a special group project.

In 2008, they traveled to China for a seminar on globalization and met with leaders of environ-mental organizations there. The Catto Fellowships are managed by the Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Program.

Aspen Institute-NewSchools Fellows: Entrepreneurial Leaders for Public Educationwww.aspeninstitute.org/newschoolsfellowsLaunched in 2007 in partnership with NewSchools Venture Fund through a collaboration of two Henry Crown Fellows, this program offers entrepreneurial leaders in US education an opportunity to broaden their perspectives, build networks of like-minded change agents, and hone their skills in values-based leadership to improve American public education.

Aspen Institute-Rodel Fellowships in Public Leadership www.aspeninstitute.org/rodelThese fellowships seek to strengthen US democra-cy by bringing together the nation’s most promising young political leaders, both Democrats and Repub-licans, to explore through study and conversation Western democratic values and the responsibilities of public leadership. Fellows also travel to Asia and the Middle East, reaching beyond narrow partisan-ship to focus attention on the issues most important to self-governance. The program supports leaders committed to a political system based on thought-ful and civil bipartisan dialogue and helps them achieve their fullest potential in public service. It is open by invitation only to young men and women who hold elected office.

Aspen Institute policy programs advance public

and private sector knowledge on significant policy

issues confronting contemporary society. They con-

vene leaders and experts to reach constructive

solutions to critical problems. While each program

is unique in substance and approach, they all share

a common mission and method. Each serves as

an impartial forum for proven leaders in a given field,

bringing diverse perspectives together in pursuit of

informed dialogue and effective action.

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 Vietnamese experts went to Hanoi to announce dioxin contain-ment 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.

Annual Gathering of Education Entrepreneurswww.aspeninstitute.org/education_entrepreneurs

In partnership with the NewSchools Venture Fund, this program seeks to develop an agenda for change in US public education and to identify op-portunities for collaboration and accelerated impact across traditional boundaries. By gathering some of the nation’s leading education enterpreneurs each summer, this program builds on the national dia-logue on education and charges the leaders to find entrepreneurial solutions to problems in American education through further innovation.

Aspen Strategy Groupwww.aspeninstitute.org/asg

How can America’s national security establishment better adapt to nascent threats and national security challenges? As current global trends defy tradition-al notions of international relations, what common global problems do nations face in the 21st cen-tury? 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 relation-ship, and 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 repre-sentatives, and journalists. The program has moved beyond its Cold War origins and today includes a new generation of policymakers representing a range of perspectives. The approach, however, has remained constant: use a bipartisan lens to identify the most contentious foreign policy and national security concerns facing our nation and assess America’s evolving interests. Recent workshops, briefings, and reports have covered the national se-curity implications of global 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 spectrum who develop nonpartisan recommendations for addressing com-mon global challenges.

Business and Society Programwww.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 society. Through dialogue, research, and curriculum de-velopment, it creates opportunities for executives and educators to explore new routes to business sustainability and values-based leadership. Its Center for Business Education (www.AspenCBE.org) works with business schools and serves as a source of innovative curriculum. Other projects in-clude Beyond Grey Pinstripes (www.beyondgreyp-instripes.org), a survey and ranking 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 materi-als on topics ranging from corporate governance 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 offer-ing cases, bibliographies and teaching guides that enable educators to help students develop the skills they need to voice their values in the workplace. The program also regularly surveys MBA student attitudes about business and society and released the Aspen Principles as part of a report on “Long-term Value Creation: Guiding Principles for Cor-porations and Investors” by the Aspen Corporate Values Strategy Group. The Teaching Innovation Program recently began a new initiative in India, in partnership with Aspen India, working with top business schools and companies to develop new educational tools to address the country’s pressing social and environmental needs.

Commission on No Child Left Behindwww.nclbcommission.org

What has the nation learned from the successes and shortcomings of the 2002 law that changed federal education policy, and how can Congress forge a stronger path to a better educational future? This bipartisan project assesses the strengths and weak-nesses of the No Child Left Behind Act and devel-oped recommendations to improve the law and its implementation. The commission is co-chaired by Tommy Thompson, former US Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Roy Barnes, former Governor of Georgia, and includes nationally recognized leaders from all levels of public educa-tion governance, higher education, business, and the civil rights community. Commissioners spent more than a year traveling the country to conduct public hearings and roundtable discussions on the law and its impact. They have heard testimony from governors and state policymakers as well as administrators, principals, teachers, parents, students, and others. The commission developed a comprehensive set of recommendations to serve as a blueprint for improving the landmark legislation, and they continue to play a central role in public debate on the law’s reauthorization and the appro-priate federal role in assuring that all children have access to a quality education.

Communications and Society Programwww.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 emerging

Page 21: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

21

decision-makers can explore new concepts and develop new policy networks. The program con-venes approximately ten leadership roundtables each year covering such subjects as journalism and national security, new technologies and democratic values, the future of news and new media, the effect of media coverage on Arab-US relations, mobile media and civic engagement, cloud com-puting and identity, converged communications policies, and minority and ethnic media. 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 to 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 Groupwww.aspeninstitute.org/csgSince 1985, this program has helped community leaders connect with each other and cut through barriers, equipping them with the best ideas, tools, and strategies available to improve economic development, strengthen families, sustain natural resources, create locally controlled philanthropic assets, and build vital and just civic cultures. The program’s hallmark is tailored, peer-to-peer exchanges in which community-based leaders and teams create immediate back-home action plans. It convenes action-learning sessions for teams from multiple locations and organizes site visits for peer communities to examine exemplary community change at close range. It brings together diverse,

Page 22: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

22

disconnected leaders from a specific geographic region to find common aims and start working together. The program also connects community innovators with regional and national experts and funders. It develops community lessons into action guides, good practice profiles, and Web resources that stimulate and inform other community lead-ers. Through its Rural Development Philanthropy Learning Network, the program has helped hun-dreds of community-based business, nonprofit, church, government, and civic leaders work together to grow locally controlled philanthropic funds and use them to improve community out-comes. In its Family Economic Success initiative it is engaging a growing network of community-level leaders across the country to help hard working, low-income families find ways to earn more, keep more of what they earn, and grow what they save into family assets that reduce family and commu-nity poverty over time.

Congressional Programwww.aspeninstitute.org/congressionalThis nongovernmental, nonpartisan educa-tional program for members of the US Congress strengthens lawmakers’ grasp of critical public policy issues. It holds high-level conferences offering legislators the opportunity to learn from internationally recognized academics, experts, and leaders and to explore various policy alterna-tives. Current subjects include political Islam as a US policy challenge, US policy in Latin America, US-China relations, governance and ideology of Islam, and education reform. Over the years, hundreds of members of Congress, international parliamentarians, political and government lead-ers, and scholar-experts have been involved in the program. There is no identification with a political or party viewpoint and no endorsement of specific

Page 23: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

23

legislation. No lobbyists, congressional staff, or outside observers are permitted, and all confer-ence agendas are reviewed by the House and Senate ethics committees. Each year the program also sponsors two dozen breakfast meetings in the Capitol featuring distinguished scholars and inter-national experts.

Council of Women World Leaderswww.womenworldleaders.orgThis international network of current and former women presidents, prime ministers, and cabinet members mobilizes the highest level of women leaders globally for collective action on issues important to women and equitable development. It gives collective voice to women in high gov-ernment positions, fosters good governance, and enhances the experience of democracy around the world by increasing the visibility, effectiveness, and number of women leaders. It promotes minis-terial-level exchange on global issues, addressing the particular challenges women face. It has estab-lished formal ministerial networks on the environ-ment and health. It also supports a summer fellow-ship program that places promising young women in the offices of council members and other women leaders. Its executive education program provides emerging women leaders in the South Pacific island states with skills in managing political and economic reform. The council’s first summit on women’s leadership on global security issues was held in 2007, and in 2008 it created the Madeleine K. Albright Women’s Voices at the Aspen Institute public program series to focus on global issues of particular importance to women and policy areas where women have taken the lead in combating human problems.

Economic Opportunities Programwww.aspeninstitute.org/eop

This program 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, policy makers, 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 gain access to mainstream financial services, staffing a funders’ group that sponsors a learning forum on microen-terprise strategies, and hosting a leadership devel-opment and training forum that convenes selected leaders from workforce services agencies across the country, strengthening their ability to provide appropriate education and training opportunities and access to jobs for low-income individuals. 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 working group carries out research on ways nonprofits can orga-nize themselves differently to increase the size and scope of what they do. Under the auspices of its Workforce Strategies Initiative (www.aspenwsi.org), the program funds six partnership projects of nonprofit organizations and community colleges in US cities that are helping low-income, work-ing adults succeed in school and on the job. It also administers the Scale Academy for Microenterprise Development, which supports leading US microen-terprise programs with grants, technical assistance, and peer learning opportunities.

Education and Society Programwww.aspeninstitute.org/education

The challenges of America’s urban schools are daunting. Over eight million students read below grade-level, fifty percent of teachers leave teaching within five years, and barely one in ten low-income students will ever graduate from college. This program helps local, state, and national education leaders share knowledge about how school systems can improve the education and life chances of poor and minority students, and it works with them to create programs and policies to accomplish these goals. Together with some of the nation’s largest school districts, the Aspen Urban Superintendents Network helps leaders hone their reform strate-gies based on the best available research and the experience of their peers. Associated Mathematics and Literacy Leadership Networks support district efforts to make sure all students graduate literate and proficient in mathematics. Recognizing the importance of effective education policy to support changes in classrooms and schools, the program convenes workshops with federal, state, and lo-cal policymakers, education leaders, researchers, and analysts that point toward new approaches to developing and managing human capital in educa-tion, reforming high schools, and improving teach-ing and learning. 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 and the impact of federal education laws on states and urban school districts.

Energy and Environment Programwww.aspeninstitute.org/ee

This program stimulates open-minded dialogue about the state of the natural world, global energy and environmental challenges, and sustainable solutions. Recognizing the complexity of environ-mental problems, it engages an interdisciplinary approach that draws on the knowledge and experi-ences of leaders in science, government, business, and civic society. It strives to have a positive im-pact on policy and raises public attention through policy dialogues and forums, a leadership initia-tive, 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 mar-kets, nuclear power, renewable fuels, and fuel ef-ficiency. The Global Forum on Energy, Economy, and Security, attended by experts and policy mak-ers, offers pointed discussion on oil and gas issues and global markets. In 2008, the program launched three policy dialogues on climate change impacts in the Arctic, sustainable water infrastructure in-vestments in the US, 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 discussion and projects emphasizing the values and leadership necessary for effective collaboration. It has also partnered with National Geographic mag-azine to convene the Aspen Environment Forum,

an annual public event in Colorado that presents a rich array of issues, including climate change, energy, biodiversity, forestry, sustainable agricul-ture, water and ocean resources, and economic and community development. With all of these efforts, the program advances collaborative solutions and collective knowledge to help solve critical environ-mental problems.

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

Page 26: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

26

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

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

Page 27: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

27

this process and has become its principal activity, advising leading foundation and nonprofit clients who want to influence public opinion, make a case for social change, or raise public awareness about domestic and international policy issues. The program also disseminates practical advice about advocacy techniques to a wider public and prac-titioner audience through a lively blog. It coaches nonprofits and funders on effective coalition strategies and convenes meetings and conferences for policy advocates and experts. It has developed a range of Web-based tools and services, avail-able at www.continuousprogress.org, including the Continuous Progress guides to planning and evaluating policy advocacy for funders and advo-cates; the Exchange blog, an online conversation about global issues, policy advocacy, and message delivery; and the Advocacy Progress Planner, a guide to creating effective advocacy campaigns and measuring their progress.

Health, Biomedical Science and Society Initiativewww.aspeninstitute.org/healthAs governments and people worldwide strive to re-duce disease and unlock the secrets to living longer, healthier lives, medical science and innovations in health care have moved forward at an accelerated pace. This program increases public awareness and facilitates strategic dialogue to hasten the adop-tion of proven advances in medicine, eliminate health care disparities, and improve the health of all people. Through public programs, roundtable discussions, policy briefings, large conferences, targeted discussions, and Internet discussion fo-rums, it helps to chart the way forward by conven-ing the foremost experts in their respective fields. Its nonpartisan approach incorporates the views of health care industry leaders, world-class scientists, physicians, economists, historians, policymakers,

patients, and other key stakeholders. The program 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 Stewardship Project, an effort to broaden and reframe the national dialogue on health care reform leading up to the 2008 presidential election and beyond; the Future Medicine Project, an attempt to address critical roadblocks to the implementation and adoption of new health care technologies; and the Aspen Health Forum, the world’s only public gathering where lay people can exchange ideas with Nobel laureates, prominent NIH officials, health care industry leaders, and health policy experts from government and academia.

Homeland Security Initiativewww.aspeninstitute.org/securityYears have passed since 9/11, yet gaping holes remain in America’s defenses against terrorism, heightening the risk of another terror 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 influence policymakers, stakeholders, and the pub-lic at large to reduce our vulnerability to terrorism. A current two-year effort is assessing the prepared-ness of five cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chi-cago, Houston, and New Orleans) for terrorism and natural disasters.

Initiative on Financial Securitywww.aspeninstitute.org/ifsSaving sparks entrepreneurship, increases the gross domestic product, builds the middle class, and creates jobs for the future. Yet the national savings rate hovers near zero, and a quarter of all Ameri-

Page 28: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

cans owe more than they own. This initiative is the nation’s leading policy program focused on cradle-to-grave saving policies that can help Americans 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. It also researches new approaches to sav-ings policy and works with members of Congress to develop legislation that would encourage more Americans to save. Recently, the initiative pub-lished 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 Programwww.aspeninstitute.org/justiceSome people think that human rights abuses take place only in faraway places under oppressive regimes, but there are many serious human rights concerns in the US, particularly in the wake of 9/11. What constitutes torture, and is it ever justi-fied? Are military commissions legal? What are US obligations to refugees? This program works to promote an understanding of, and adherence to, international human rights. For over 20 years, it has led seminars to educate federal judges on hu-man rights and humanitarian law. It also convenes individuals from government, business, nonprofits, and the military to address pressing questions of international justice, including transitional justice in post-conflict settings, human rights protection in peacekeeping operations, and the US relationship to the International Criminal Court. The program annually convenes the Justice and Society Seminar, cofounded by former Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, where participants explore fundamental

issues of justice, including private and public mor-als, entitlements, social distribution, race, gender, and international human rights standards. Today, preeminent judges and law professors continue to lead these sessions on enduring questions of justice and society.

Middle East Strategy Groupwww.aspeninstitute.org/mideastThis program supports pragmatic economic and policy initiatives that advance prospects for peace in the Middle East. The group’s membership in-cludes prominent American, Palestinian, and Israeli business leaders and policy experts united by the common vision of prosperous, secure, and demo-cratic Israeli and Palestinian states living side by side in peace and the desire to develop programs and policies that create momentum toward realiz-ing that vision. Members engage in dialogue, strat-egize, and develop projects that will advance the prospects for enduring peace in the region. They also work to broaden geographically the dialogue among moderate business leaders and policy mak-ers about long-term economic and policy initiatives that will build trust, enhance regional stability, and promote peace. They develop targeted economic projects to benefit ordinary Palestinians, private entrepreneurs, and moderate political leaders, and they strengthen moderate Palestinian private sec-tor and civic leadership by serving as a leadership and networking forum. Building on the work of the group’s Middle East Investment Initiative, a public-private partnership of the Aspen Institute, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and the Palestinian Investment Fund, is the US-Palestinian Partnership (www.uspalestinianpartner-ship.org), a public-private endeavor that creates economic opportunity for the Palestinian people and prepares Palestinian youth for the responsi-

Page 29: 2007 Aspen Institute Annual Report

29

bilities of citizenship and good governance. The Partnership demonstrates to the Palestinian people a willingness to work with responsible Palestinian leaders and institutions, both nonprofits and private sector businesses. The US private sector arm of the Partnership demonstrates support for a Palestinian leadership committed to a negotiated peace and the political compromises required to reach this goal. The partnership is working to create jobs, stimulate economic activity, attract foreign investment in the West Bank, and expand Palestinian home ownership.

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

Examples of its work include research that details the practices of high-impact nonprofits; meetings on increasing the access of social entrepreneurs to capital; the Aspen-GlobalPhilanthropy Forum Summer Seminar, which brings together experienced philanthropists and

donors from across the country who are seek-ing concrete strategies to achieve impact;

and the Seminar Series for Mid-America Foundation CEOs, which gives foun-dation executives an opportunity to

engage in in-depth conversations about the complex issues facing philanthropy today.

Program on the World Economywww.aspeninstitute.org/pwe

Begun in 1981, this program seeks to promote sustainable economic

growth and financial stability in the world economy. It convenes prominent

leaders in business, finance, government, academia, and the media, from both industrial

and developing nations, to generate pragmatic solutions to major global economic and financial challenges, advance cooperation and coordina-tion on key issues facing the global economic and financial system, and frame issues in the geopoliti-cal context in which they must be addressed.

Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiativewww.aspeninstitute.org/egi

This initiative aims to put human rights principles and standards at the heart of global governance and policy-making and ensure that the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable are addressed on the global stage. Founded in 2002 by Mary Robinson,

former president of Ireland and UN High Com-missioner for Human Rights, it is a partnership of the Aspen Institute, Columbia University, and the International Council on Human Rights Policy. It focuses on four program areas: the right to health, equitable trade and development; decent work; women’s leadership; and business and human rights. In Africa, it works with political and busi-ness leaders to identify and promote innovative policy solutions that address inequities and provide basic rights. In 2007-2008, it launched the Every Human Has Rights Campaign to increase human rights awareness on the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Roundtable on Community Changewww.aspeninstitute.org/rccThis program focuses on the problems of distressed communities and seeks solutions to individual, fam-ily, and neighborhood poverty. It convenes national leaders in the community change field, reviews community poverty initiatives, and disseminates key lessons to funders and practitioners on im-proving outcomes for low-income children, youth, and families. The program covers a wide range of issues, such as poverty alleviation, employment, housing, neighborhood change, public health, education, youth development, child welfare, and criminal justice. In its role as a clearinghouse for research on community building initiatives, it man-ages the Community Building Resource Exchange (www.commbuild.org), a database of publications and research on community building initiatives. It also focuses on teaching and research on structural racism, understood as the system of public policies, institutional practices, and cultural representations that perpetuate racial group inequity. In order to build a field of practitioners concerned with dis-mantling structural racism, the roundtable hosts

a seminar series that brings together government, nonprofit, media, and business leaders to think through strategies that will further racial equity in their work. It maintains the Racial Equity and Soci-ety Peer Learning Forum (www.aspeninstitute.org/rcc/peerlearningforum) to provide ongoing techni-cal and research support to seminar alumni.

Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Groupwww.aspeninstitute.org/yesgAmerican students are dropping out of high school in record numbers. This program, implemented in partnership with the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship, convenes national leaders from the fields of education, business, pub-lic policy, media, and philanthropy to combat this trend by developing a comprehensive strategy to insert the teaching of entrepreneurship—a proven approach to engaging students in the classroom and motivating them to take responsibility for their own futures—into low-income high schools around the country. Through regular briefings, conferenc-es, and publications, the program shares insights and builds momentum for new policies that will prepare the next generation of entrepreneurial lead-ers in America.

Society of Fellows

Sustaining the Mission of the Aspen Institutewww.aspeninstitute.org/sof

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

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.
