n the more than six decades since its founding, the Aspen
Institute has grown and evolved in many directions but
it has always held fast to its reputation as the place where
policymakers, writers, artists, executives, and members of the
public can come together to explore the values underpinning
society. That reputation, though, is incomplete. From the
beginning, the Institute has been driven by a desire to both
convene and have real-world impact.

Ascend is the national hub for breakthrough ideas and collaborations to move
children and their parents toward educational success and economic security.
We embrace a two-generation approach and a commitment to racial equity and
a gender lens. Two-generation approaches provide opportunities for, and meet
the needs of, children and their parents together. We believe that education,
economic supports, social capital, and health and wellbeing are the core components that create an intergenerational cycle of opportunity. Ascend makes a
difference in the lives of children, parents, and families by elevating and investing in a portfolio of solutions informed by the voices of families and fueled by
political will and a national network of leaders.
ASPEN FORUM FOR COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS
www.aspencommunitysolutions.org
In a time of rising inequality and rapidly increasing diversity, the question of what
it means to be American and how we create a unifying story of us is of prime
consequence. The Aspen Program on Citizenship and American Identity explores
this question through a range of cross-partisan activity, from public forums to
leadership convenings, to seminars. Across our forms of engagement, we focus on
three aspects of citizenship: values, systems, and skills. The values segment focuses
on articulating (and updating) the creedal and cultural content of American civic
identity. The systems segment includes policy proposals and multi-sector collaborations to build social cohesion. The skills segment teaches leaders to construct coalitions and a sense of shared fate across increasingly rigid class and race divides.
This program is directed by Eric Liu, the founder of Citizen University, author, and
former White House speechwriter and policy advisor to President Bill Clinton.

Born from General Stanley McChrystals call at the 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival to
engage more Americans in serving their communities and country, the initiative
has engaged leaders in military, business, government, nonprofit, faith, academic, community-building, and other sectors to support large-scale civilian service.
Its formation is vital at a time of national division, when the entrepreneurial
energy of citizens must be harnessed to help solve public problems and bring
people of different perspectives together. General McChrystal chairs the project, and John Bridgeland of Civic Enterprises and Alan Khazei of City Year and

ASPEN INSTITUTE LATINOS AND SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/latinos-society
The Latinos and Society Program is focused on increasing the understanding of,
and improving outcomes for, the growing US Latino population. The Latinos and
Society program will convene meaningful dialogues among cross-sections of society with a focus on influencing positive outcomes, infusing the work of the Aspen
Institute with Latino voices and ideas, and developing Latino leadership capacity.
As the largest minority group in the US (projected to reach 26 percent of the
population by 2050) and as a relatively young and rapidly growing population,
Latinos will be entering our schools, health systems, and labor force at unprecedented rates. Their success or failure will directly impact the direction of the
country. Their participation and representation in all sectors of society and
leadership is critical to our democracy. Our work will emphasize a particular
focus on educational achievement, economic advancement, and civic participation. We will also launch a Latino Leadership Initiative focused on developing
the next generation of entrepreneurial, civic-minded Latino leaders equipped
to positively impact their communities by undertaking leadership projects and
contributing to Americas future.

ASPEN PLANNING AND EVALUATION PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/apep
APEP helps clients plan and evaluate efforts to shape public policy and promote changes in attitudes and behavior. Program staff and consultants work
internally with other Institute programs as well as with foundations and nongovernmental organizations based in the US, Africa, and Europe to assess their
advocacy and social change efforts. APEPs recent evaluation clients address issues as diverse as reducing the incidence of child marriage worldwide, improving the practices of microfinance providers, empowering women and girls in
Kenya, and promoting a new vision for American public libraries. The program
also leads the Institutes internal program review process.
ASPEN STRATEGY GROUP
www.aspeninstitute.org/asg
How can Americas national security establishment better adapt to nascent threats
and challenges? As current global trends defy traditional notions of international relations, what common problems do nations face in the 21st century?
This program focuses on transnational issues that blend foreign and domestic
subjects. 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
current program has moved beyond its Cold War origins and today includes
three generations of policymakers representing a range of perspectives.

Improving college student outcomes is a vital national priority. Only half of all college students graduate, college access and success remain strongly correlated to
race and income, and evidence suggests that the learning that takes place in college is too often limited and not well aligned with what students need to succeed.
Over the past 50 years, increased college access has benefited millions of Americans, but now the nation must get more students through college with the skills
and abilities needed for success after graduating. The goal of this program is to
identify and accelerate the replication of practices and policies that improve and
make more equitable student success in learning, completion, and post-graduation employment. Several of the programs initiatives relate to community
colleges, including the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, which
awards one million dollars biennially to the nations best community colleges and
works to replicate exceptional college outcomes nationwide. A second community college project works to align the hiring and professional development of community college presidents with the goals of improving student success. Extending
the programs reach into the four-year sector, three newer projects are addressing
community college to university transfer, the future of the college presidency, and
socioeconomic diversity at top American colleges and universities.
This program serves as a venue for global leaders and experts to exchange
insights on the societal impact of advances in digital technology and network
communications. It also creates a multidisciplinary space in the communications
This group helps leaders in rural, urban, and suburban communities act together to create more vibrant regions that advance and sustain prosperity and
wellbeing for local people, places, and firms, including those on the economic
margins. CSG helps community leaders on the ground connect with and motivate each other. It also equips them with the best ideas, tools, and strategies
to improve community and economic results. The groups hallmark approach
is tailored, peer-to-peer exchanges in which community-based leaders create
immediate back-home action plans. CSG also brings together disconnected
leaders in specific geographic regions to collaborate and find common aims,
and it connects community innovators with regional and national experts and
funders. It distills community lessons into action guides, good-practice profiles,
virtual peer-learning exchanges, and online resources. CSG builds and manages three networks of community-based practitioners and regional leaders from
across the country, one focused on advancing family economic success, one
on community development philanthropy, and another on the WealthWorks
approach to regional economic development.

This program was established in response to the increasing need for and reliance on public-private alliances to take on the challenges that the public sector
is unequipped to tackle on its own. As a platform for cross-sector collaboration, the Global Alliances Program has partnered with the Department of State
to encourage US cooperation and investment in business and communities
across the globe. These Partnership Opportunity Delegations are deployed in
response to local communities priorities and result in business-to-business and
people-to-people partnerships. To date, PODs have gone to Colombia, Myanmar, and Tanzania; and PODs to Cuba, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Madagascar are
planned. GAP has also partnered with the Department of Defense to foster a
culture of innovation and learning within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
The New Ideas @ OSD series brings experts from outside the national security
field to the Pentagon to consult with Defense leadership on how to shape policy
in ways that are innovative, adaptive, and effective in a changing and complex
global security environment. By convening and facilitating partnerships between the US public and private sectors, as well as their international counterparts, GAP strives to build equitable, sustainable relationships between communities and to foster greater development and prosperity.
HEALTH, MEDICINE, AND SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/health
This program creates opportunities for government, industry, academic, advocacy, and industry leaders to explore critical issues in health, health care, medical science, and health policy in the US. The Health, Medicine, and Society Program facilitates knowledge exchanges and advances strategic thinking among
these decision makers through nonpartisan, multi-disciplinary public policy
programs and dialogue, including roundtables, briefings, conferences, and
Internet forums. These convenings encourage collaborative networks among
leading policymakers, health professionals, scientists, and advocates in a broad
range of fields, while helping to inform and advance policies to improve the
health of individuals, families, communities, the nation, and the world. In 2014,
in collaboration with the Global Health and Development Program, HMS designed and hosted the inaugural Spotlight Health event, now the lead-in session
to the annual Aspen Ideas Festival. HMS also contributed to projects sponsored
by other policy programs (including Ascend and Energy and Environment) by
helping to bring the health lens to their work. In addition, efforts continued and
progress was made in establishing HMS initiatives in health policy and biomedical innovation, and new projects in bioethics and gun violence received initial
funding support.
Years have passed since 9/11, yet holes remain in Americas defenses against
terrorism, heightening the risk of another attack. This program identifies gaps
in the nations defenses against terrorism and recommends ways to close them.
Through reports, roundtable discussions, Congressional testimony, and forums,
it strives to convince policymakers, stakeholders, and the public at large to
reduce Americas vulnerability to terrorism.
INITIATIVE ON FINANCIAL SECURITY

For four decades, the Justice & Society Program has convened individuals from
diverse backgrounds to discuss the meaning of justice and how a just society
ought to balance fundamental rights with the exigencies of public policy in
order to meet contemporary social challenges and strengthen the rule of law.
Through our public programming component which includes the Susman
Conversation on the Constitution and the Courts at Aspen, periodic roundtables
at the Institutes Washington office, and presentations by leading jurists we
bring to the table public officials, established and emerging opinion leaders,
The US manufacturing sector has long been a source of good jobs and increases in the standard of living. In recent decades the relative decline of the sector
has led to questions about its future viability. This program brings business,
government, and opinion leaders together to discuss and analyze many of the
important problems and opportunities affecting the future of manufacturing in
an increasingly globalized economy. Policy discussions are convened in Washington, DC, and in Italy in collaboration with Aspen Italia; and a CEO seminar is
held in Aspen, Colorado, to build consensus on issues important to the sector.
Recent forums and publications have touched on the following topics: globalization and its impact on manufacturing, trade policy, skills training for industrial
workers, manufacturing as a source of growth, oil exports and manufacturing,
women in the manufacturing workforce, the German model of supporting manufacturing, and the investment gap in the US economy.

Members of the Society of Fellows enjoy unparalleled access to the Institutes offerings, including public forums, lectures, policy discussions, seminars, and symposia. Fellows receive advance notice and special invitations to over 50 member-exclusive offerings each
year. At luncheons, lectures, private talks, and discussion receptions held in private homes, fellows have unique access to leading
experts and featured speakers. Multi-day symposia offer fellows the opportunity for in-depth exploration of todays most important issues. Events are held throughout the year in Aspen; Washington, DC; New York City; and San Francisco. Additional events are offered
periodically in other major metropolitan areas around the country.
Fellows provide over $4 million annually in unrestricted support
for the Institute. Since its founding in 1964, the program has
raised a total of $45 million, which has been critically important
to the success and growth of the Institute. In addition to annual
membership contributions, fellows have generously supported
the campaigns that have revitalized our Aspen Meadows campus
and are now supporting our Scholars & Scholarships Campaign,
which secures the future of the Institute and ensures diversity at
our programs.
The Aspen Wye Fellows program is a special donor and public outreach initiative on the Institutes Wye River campus in Maryland. Fellows are Chesapeake
Bay area residents who support and share the Institutes interest in open-minded dialogue. The program includes discussions, receptions, book signings, and
other special events featuring prominent leaders and policy experts.

Society of Fellows members traveled to Bentonville, Arkansas, for a trip to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. The group was also welcomed into the homes of prolific folk-art
collectors to view their collections and discuss collecting. The day ended with a dinner talk on art and museums with Crystal Bridges founder Alice Walton. (photo by Marc F. Henning)

Aspen Institute Espaa, headquartered in Madrid, was incorporated as a foundation in December 2010. The Institute aims to
promote social responsibility and contribute to the strengthening
of civil society, providing a neutral forum for public dialogue and
reflection through conferences, seminars, and roundtable discussions. In this pursuit,
the Institute takes on the values, features, and goals of the Aspen model, adjusting
them to the realities of the Spanish context, incorporating Spains close ties with
other regions in Europe, Latin America, and the Mediterranean.
Institut Aspen France was founded in 1983 as a nonpartisan, nonprofit, international center for discussion and dialogue. Based in
Paris, it has two goals: to help leaders identify the challenges they
face and seek solutions to contemporary problems and to facilitate
informal meetings of leaders from different geographical, cultural, and professional
worlds. Aspen France organizes policy programs and leadership seminars to address
the major economic, social, and political issues of the day.
