The Aspen Institute’s 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 capac- ity to solve the problems leaders face.

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

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

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

The Institute is based in Washington, DC; Aspen, Colorado; and on the Wye River on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The Institute also has an international network of partners. One of the great strengths of the Aspen Institute is its convening power. We are committed to putting that power to good use—navigating difficult public debates by promoting collabora- tion, ensuring participation across all sectors of society, and accomplishing worthwhile goals through thoughtful engagement and concrete action.

The timeless values that first inspired the Institute’s founder, businessman and phi- lanthropist Walter Paepcke, to participate in the ’s Great Books seminar and to begin convening intellectuals and business leaders in Aspen after World War II (“an act of faith in the humanistic tradition”) are still what guides the Institute today: a belief that men and women “must be reflective in order to ensure that all human activity—political, scientific, economic, intellectual, or artistic—will serve the needs of human beings and enrich and deepen their lives.”

In 2009, our programs and initiatives continued to serve these purposes, convening scholars, scientists, diplomats, statesmen, judges, writers, philosophers, educators, artists, and leaders of all kinds in seminars, policy programs, public events, and leadership initiatives at home and abroad. In 2010, it is worth noting we celebrated the renovation and rededication of the Walter Paepcke Memorial Building in Aspen, a physical extension of our mission and a gathering place for informed public debate and nonpartisan dialogue.

Today, the Institute continues to use its convening power, informed by decades of experience, to “serve the needs of human beings and enrich and deepen their lives.” We believe the work of the Aspen Institute, described in the pages that follow, builds on its past and affirms its com- mitment to the future.

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 its 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.

8 9 Advocacy and Exchange Program on Agent Orange/Dioxin www.aspeninstitute.org/dioxin_program This bipartisan program promotes dialogue 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-Vietnamese cooperation on mitigating con- tamination problems. The program also builds public support 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 environ- mental training, and remediation work at con- taminated sites. In 2010, the US-Vietnam Dia- logue Group on Agent Orange/Dioxin released a ten-year plan to address the toxic legacy of dioxin contamination

Advocacy Planning and Evaluation Program www.aspeninstitute.org/apep www.continuousprogress.org Formerly known as the Global Interdependence Initiative, this program and its related Continu- ous Progress Strategic Services helps its partners and clients plan and evaluate efforts to shape public policy. Program staff and consultants work with foundations and nongovernmental organizations in the , Africa, and Europe assessing advocacy efforts on issues as diverse as curbing teen obesity, combating hu- man trafficking, and increasing access to family planning. The program also leads the Institute’s internal program review process.

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. It also focuses on dismantling structural racism and hosts a seminar series for govern- ment, nonprofit, media, and business leaders to develop strategies in their work that will further racial equity.

For more than a decade, the Institute has supported programs for accomplished leaders in the United States and around the world. Beginning with the creation of the Henry Crown Fellowship Program, these initiatives have a common goal of encouraging a new generation of civically engaged men and women to move “from success to significance” and apply their entrepreneurial talents to addressing the foremost challenges of their organizations, communities, and countries. The programs share a basic structure: Each one selects a class of Fellows, approximately 20 proven leaders typically 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 to connect leaders across programs and leverage their talents on a global basis. Today the Aspen Global Leadership Network counts more than 1,100 Fellows from 43 countries, and it continues to grow.

36 Paepcke’s New Look

When Walter Paepcke first arrived in Aspen, Colorado, in the late-1940s, he had a vision of a “place where the hu- man spirit can flourish.” He conceived of the entire enter- prise as a work of art. And so, after his death in 1960, his friends and family came together to erect a special build- ing in his honor. They called upon and Fritz Benedict, the designers who created the original Aspen Meadows campus for Walter Paepcke, to take on the project. “It is fitting that the city’s most important and most useful new building be named for, and dedicated to, Walter P. Paepcke, the man who had the vision and the energy to create modern Aspen,” wrote The Aspen Times of the building’s dedication in 1963. Since then, the Walter Paepcke Memorial Building has provided offices to the Institute staff and featured a library of seminal texts and an auditorium that has been graced by statesmen, CEOs, Supreme Court justices, technology pioneers, scientists, scholars, Nobel laureates, artists, and musicians.

Yet, after nearly five decades as the setting for inspired dialogue, the building was in need of some refurbish- ment—both to preserve the spirit of the original Bayer design and to modernize the building with the most up- to-date technologies. To meet these sometimes contradic- tory aims, the Institute enlisted Michael Schnoering and his team at Farewell Mills Gatsch Architects of Princeton, New Jersey. “We definitely tried to preserve that spirit of Bayer and Benedict,” says Schnoering. “And we felt them looking over our shoulders—especially Bayer, who was so iconic. He was really prevalent in all of our decisions.”

Light plays a dramatic role in the new building, with wide glass entrances and an overhead skylight in the foyer. Glass doors flank the exterior aisles of the auditorium, leading to outside terraces that are equipped with 57-inch monitors so that overflow crowds can watch the action on stage while enjoying the sun. And the Ann W. Richards Stage features light wood veneers and the best theatri- cal lighting, sound system, and 3-D cinematic electron- ics available. The new and improved building will also consume 55 percent less energy than it did before with a geothermal pond, CO2 sensors, and green materials and insulation.

Walter Paepcke’s dream of a place where mind and spirit can flourish is more robust than ever in the building that carries his name.

66 67 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 scholarships 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.
