Developing Leaders, Driving Impact
At the core of the Aspen Institute is an optimistic belief that the sum of our efforts leads to a better world—one shaped by learning, connection, and new possibilities. By cultivating the conditions to spark curiosity, deepen knowledge, and connect across differences, we enable leaders and emerging leaders to engage with issues, and each other, more fully.
For 75 years, the Aspen Institute has been a place for bold ideas, principled leadership, and meaningful action. As we celebrate this milestone, we're sending you this special edition newsletter highlighting our work as a global convener of leaders and changemakers.
In our In Focus: Igniting Leadership series, we’re looking closely at the “why” and “how” of effective leadership. We’ll explore the work and impact of the Aspen Institute’s many leadership programs, examine the Institute’s founding ideals of—and aspirations for—leadership, and feature the leaders who are building new possibilities for a better world.
Because whether it was 75 years ago or today, one thing hasn't changed: the need for capable, empathetic leaders willing to step up and meet the challenges of our time.
