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.”

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. Contents

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 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 FSchweitzer 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.

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 Wye Seminars are joined by accomplished leaders from around the www.aspeninstitute.org/seminars/wye world.

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.
14 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.

19 20 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 21 to celebrate the official launch and biennial gathering of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.

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.

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.
Former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft co-chairs the Aspen Strategy Group, one of the Institute’s policy programs, which focuses on American foreign policy. 31 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

74 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.
