2009 Overview and 2008 Annual Report

Celebrating 60 Years

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.

Dawn of the Institute

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.

Sixty Years of Embracing the Human Spirit www.aspeninstitute.org

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

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.

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.

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.

15

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

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.

Policy Programs and Partnerships

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.

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/asgHow 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/bspThe 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

30

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.orgThis 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,

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&sThis 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

31

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

34

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/eeThis 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-

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/cultureandsocietyWhat 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-

35

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/giiMany 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-artsThis 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/securityYears 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/ifsSaving 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

38

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/justiceSome 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.

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/mideastFocused 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-

39

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

series is an effort to ensure high-quality and ac-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/pweBegun 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: The Ethical Globalization Initiativewww.aspeninstitute.org/egiThis initiative aims to put human rights principles and standards at the heart of global governance and policymaking to 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

41

the Aspen Institute, Columbia University, and the International Council on Human Rights Policy. Its four main program areas are global health equity, trade and decent work, women’s leadership, and business and human rights.

Roundtable on Community Change www.aspeninstitute.org/rcc

This program focuses on the problems of dis-tressed communities and seeks solutions to indi-vidual, family, and neighborhood poverty. It con-venes national leaders in the community-change field, reviews community anti-poverty initiatives, and disseminates key lessons to funders and prac-titioners on improving outcomes for low-income children, families, and communities. The pro-gram covers a wide range of issues, such as racial equity, poverty alleviation, employment, housing, neighborhood change, public health, education, youth development, child welfare, and criminal justice. It also manages a program of work on structural racism, understood as the system of public policies, institutional practices, and cul-tural representations that perpetuate racial group inequity. In order to build a field of practitioners concerned with dismantling structural racism, the Roundtable hosts a seminar series that brings together government, nonprofit, media, and busi-ness leaders to think through strategies that will further racial equity in their work. It maintains the Racial Equity and Society Peer Learning Forum (www.aspeninstitute.org/rcc/peerlearningforum) to provide ongoing technical and research support to seminar alumni.

Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Group* www.aspeninstitute.org/yesg

American students are dropping out of high school in record numbers and are not receiving the skills they need to compete in the 21st century. This program, in partnership with the Network 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 and scale the teaching of entrepreneurship—a proven approach to engaging students in the classroom and motivating them to take responsi-bility for their own economic futures—in low-income high schools around the country. Through regular briefings, a campaign to involve leaders from all sectors, high-level meetings, conferences, and official publications, the group shares insights and builds momentum for new policies that will prepare the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders in America.

* As of July 2009, the Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Group has reorganized as the Youth Entrepreneurship Alliance under the um-brella of the Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education.

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.

Seminar participants at the Aspen Meadows Health Center in 1963.
