SUMMER 2016 IDEAS | LEADERSHIP | ACTION A NONPARTISAN FORUM FOR VALUES-BASED LEADERSHIP AND THE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS SOCIETY OF FELLOWS denotes Society of Fellows events The Society of Fellows (SOF) is a community of the Institute’s closest friends whose support plays an instrumental role in advancing the mission of the Aspen Institute. Fellows enjoy unparalleled access to Institute programs, most notably exclusive discussion receptions, luncheons, and multi-day symposia, all featuring policy and issue experts. Fellows are the first to know of offerings, receiving special invitations to programs in Aspen; New York; Washington, DC; San Francisco, and elsewhere across the country. Those who wish to engage deeper in the Institute’s work are encouraged to join. An SOF membership is tax-deductible. To learn more, visit aspeninstitute.org/ society-fellows. ASPEN COMMUNITY PROGRAMS The Aspen Institute hosts dozens of public programs year-round for residents and visitors alike, including the Hurst Student Seminars; Great Books; Great Decisions; Our Society Reimagined; Athens to Aspen; Teen Socrates; the McCloskey Speaker Series; the Hurst Lecture Series; and the Murdock Mind, Body, Spirit Series. These programs offer unique and affordable opportunities for a diverse mix of people to find inspiration in a variety of ways.
