2013 Overview & 2012 Annual Report

The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization based in Washington, DC. Its mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan 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 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-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 Marylands Eastern Shore. The Institute also has offices in New York City and an international network of partners.

All of the trustees are honored to be associated with todays Aspen Institute. Weve always had the benefit of a powerful mission, and it has been thrilling to watch what our leadership team, staff, and board have been able to accomplish over the last decade, elevating the organization to heights the founders could have only imagined.
Robert K. Steel, Aspen Institute Chairman of the Board of Trustees

On the cover: The Aspen Institute takes inspiration from the aspen trees that dot its Aspen Meadows campus, where it was founded and thrives today. Beloved for their shimmering foliage, aspen trees are unique in that each stand or grove which might include dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of individuals is actually one large organism that depends on a single root system for survival. This interconnectedness reminds us of the essential interconnectedness of all human life, which in turn drives us in our mission as we gather disparate individuals for civil dialogue, look to timeless human values as the root of our discussions, and work to find common ground on even the most divisive issues our communities, our nation, and the world may face.

The Aspen Institute Today

The Aspen Institute was established in 1950 by a small group of
visionaries who believed in creating the good society by fostering values-based dialogue among Americas business leaders. In more recent decades, the organization built its reputation for helping shape tomorrows leaders and advancing effective public policy through engaging a diversity of perspectives in intimate, retreat-like settings. Fostering leaders to contribute to the good society continues to be at the forefront of the Institutes mission. As a result, we have also seen exceptional growth in the number and geographic spread of Aspen Leadership Fellows. Launched in 2004, the Aspen Global Leadership Network has greatly expanded the Henry Crown Fellowships legacy of encouraging proven entrepreneurs to apply their creative energies to the most important challenges of our time. From just over 100 Fellows in 2004, this dynamic network now numbers 1,600 in 46 countries all moving from success to significance, spreading ripples of impact across the world. The past decade has also yielded unprecedented financial health for the Institute. Thanks to effective management of program expenses, investment in capital, profitable public programs, and an influx of donor support through individual, foundation, and corporate contributions, the Institute has produced robust operating cash flows that have helped us solidify our timeless offerings, as well as take our mission in exciting new directions. A reinvestment in the Institutes Aspen Meadows campus has yielded the LEED gold-certified Doerr-Hosier Center and Andy Goldsworthy sculpture, the renovated Resnick-Malek Health Center, an expanded and modernized Paepcke Building and Auditorium, and a much-enhanced Koch seminar building, among other improvements. The Institute refreshed its Wye River campus, opened a midtown Manhattan office, and established a home base at the Roosevelt House at Hunter College in New York City as a destination point for serious and timely programming. The expanded vision, innovation, and energy of this new era couldnt have been possible without the entire leadership team at the Institute, as well as a board of trustees and donors who actively support the programs from which they draw personal and professional value. Our Society of Fellows donor group, which itself has quadrupled since 2003, has helped lay the groundwork to establish the future of the organization. Through an initiative to underwrite scholars to participate in forums, fellowships, and action projects, the Scholars and Scholarships campaign is leading the way to secure the Institutes next 10 years, and beyond.

The Aspen Institute Today

In 2003, the Institute entered a new phase, opening its offerings to a far wider and broader audience and expanding its policy work into an exciting new realm. For the past decade, the Institutes leadership team, led by President and CEO Walter Isaacson, has bolstered the existing policy and seminar programming, while opening much of the formerly closed-door offerings to the public through forums, roundtables, and speaker series, all made available across various media platforms. The Aspen Ideas Festival the Institutes signature public offering celebrated its ninth year in 2013. Its early, unqualified success laid the foundation for other new public events, such as the Washington Ideas Forum, The Aspen Challenge, New York Ideas, and the Aspen Security Forum. With an ever-increasing commitment to turning thought into action, in 2013 the Institute added two new major gatherings to its summer calendar: the Aspen Institute Franklin Projects 21st Century National Service Summit and the Aspen Leaders Action Forum. Both events brought together leaders looking for ways to strengthen their own and others commitments to contributing to society in meaningful ways. The Institutes policy programs have been tackling important issues since the early 1970s. Their breadth and scope have been significantly broadened to include an even wider spectrum of domestic and international concerns, including arts and culture and global health and development. Since 2003, the number of policy programs has doubled from 15 to more than 30. Our credibility as a consensus-builder has grown at a similar rate, as seen through the quality and quantity of organizations seeking to partner with the Institute in its many pursuits. The organization has extended its global reach as well. Our international family of partner Aspen Institutes will celebrate a number of milestones in 2013, including Aspen Germanys 40th, Aspen Frances 30th, and Aspen Japans 15th anniversaries. These and Aspen Italia, our largest overseas partner, were joined in the last decade by newly established Institutes in India, Romania, Spain, and the Czech Republic, while we seek to soon open our first outpost in Latin America.

Policy Programs and Partnerships

Advancing Public Policy Through Dialogue and Action

The Aspen Institute policy programs advance public- and private-sector knowledge on some of the most pressing issues facing contemporary society. They frame critical topics, bring new evidence to bear on a wide range of issues, propose innovative ideas, and gather leaders and experts to reach constructive solutions to policy problems. Each program serves as an impartial forum, and each is unique in its substance and approach. Together, however, they share a common mission and methodology, convening diverse perspectives for informed dialogue, research, and action.

American actress, playwright, professor, and Institute Trustee Anna Deavere Smith has brought her program intersecting the arts and social justice to the Institute. Launched in 2013, it envisions a rich mix of innovative workshops and seminars, performances and publications, residencies and fellowships, and designs for new curricula. The program intends to collaborate with some of the many policy programs at the Institute. The vision is for an exchange through which artists can get information from policy programs, and policy programs can consider art as another form of influence and communication.

Ascend, the Family Economic Security Program ascend.aspeninstitute.org

This bipartisan, bilateral program promotes dialogue and action on addressing the human and environmental impact of wartime herbicides in Vietnam in both the US policy community and between US and Vietnamese officials. The program sponsors meetings and briefings, and strengthens US-Vietnamese cooperation on mitigating contamination and its consequences. The program builds support for practical solutions, such as improved services for those with dioxin-related disabilities, reproductive health services, special and inclusive education, vocational and workforce readiness training, and remediation of dioxin at former US air bases. In 2010, the program released a 10-year plan to fully address this legacy of the war. Its US-Vietnam Dialogue Group, co-organized by the Institute, has helped build momentum towards a long-term commitment from both governments to resolving the issue.

Agent Orange in Vietnam Program www.aspeninstitute.org/agentorangeprogram

Ascend is a national hub for breakthrough ideas and proven strategies that move children and their parents toward educational success and economic security. The program identifies, connects, and amplifies the work of innovators implementing two-generation approaches, which create opportunities for and address the needs of vulnerable children and their parents together. Ascends core strategies are to spark a new conversation around low-income families in the US; build a dynamic network of leaders through the pioneering Ascend Fellowship; and elevate effective two-generation policies and community solutions. Ascends strategies encompass three key issue areas: education including early childhood education for children and postsecondary education for their parents; economic supports; and social capital.

When we think about at-risk kids, it causes us to think there is something wrong with them. But who is really at risk? Our communities are at risk if we cannot successfully help mothers and fathers and children get an education, find their way out of poverty, and get the nutrition and health care and housing security they need so they can help us build a strong state, strong communities, and a strong nation.

Aspen Global Health and Development www.aspeninstitute.org/ghd

The Aspen Forum for Community Solutions mission is to support collaboration that enables communities to effectively address their most pressing challenges. Its Opportunity Youth Incentive Fund works to demonstrate higher rates of reconnection to education and employment among opportunity youth and future generations; catalyze adoption of effective approaches in education and career attainment leading to family-sustaining careers for opportunity youth; and leverage systems and policy changes at local, state, and national levels to remove systems barriers. The Aspen Forum for Community Solutions is chaired by Melody C. Barnes, former director of the White House Domestic Policy Council and senior advisor to President Obama.

This programs mission is to promote solutions to persistent global health and development problems. It is a force for fresh thinking, unlikely collaborations, and nimble action within the global health and development field. This program works on a collection of issue-specific initiatives all aimed at catalyzing policy work that better connects champions at the highest levels, development practitioners in the field, and the poorest and most vulnerable on the ground. It supports the advancement of a number of ideas, including recognition of reproductive health as a key contributor to other development outcomes globally with a special focus on Malawi; adoption of policy innovations to address the global health workforce shortage; an alliance that aims to unleash the artisan sectors economic potential and

The Institute launched The Franklin Project in 2013, a program tasked with creating a voluntary civilian counterpart to military service in the United States. 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. John Bridgeland of Civic Enterprises and Alan Khazei of City Year and Be the Change, Inc. serve as chairs responsible for designing and managing the initiative. Former US Senator Harris Wofford serves as senior advisor. The program launched its first National Service Summit on June 24 and 25, 2013, on the Aspen Meadows campus.

world. These organizations are at the vanguard of a movement focused on supporting small and growing businesses (SGBs) that create economic, environmental, and social benefits for developing countries. The network advocates that policymakers and financial leaders drive more resources to these entrepreneurial firms. It hosts a wide variety of knowledge-sharing and training programs and offers financial support for innovative partnerships aimed at improving services to emerging market entrepreneurs. ANDE also sponsors annual events focused on the SGB sector, including a global conference on key trends and a workshop on metrics and impact assessment. In 2012, it launched a major research effort focused on building the evidence base that demonstrates the power of SGBs to build prosperity for the poor. The network has regional chapters in Brazil, Mexico/Central America, East Africa, India, South Africa, and West Africa.

Start-up stage enterprises, women entrepreneurs, and agribusinesses have a high level of potential impact; at the same time, they require tailored support to grow and meet that potential.

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. The approach, however, has remained constant: to use a bipartisan lens to identify the most contentious foreign policy and national security concerns facing our nation and to assess Americas evolving interests. Recent workshops, briefings, and reports have covered the Arab Revolutions and American policy, cybersecurity, American interests in South Asia, the national security implications of climate change, and the challenge of nuclear proliferation. Also convening under the auspices of the Aspen Strategy Group is the Aspen Ministers Forum and Track II dialogues with Brazil, China, and India.

Despite the efforts of tribal governments and advocates, difficult conditions including high rates of unemployment, poverty, alcohol and substance abuse, crime, and health disparities persist in many tribal communities. The Center seeks to raise awareness and develop solutions to these issues by bringing together Native youth, tribal leaders, advocacy organizations, academic institutions, and other experts through roundtables, summits, and other events held throughout Indian Country.

Business and Society Program www.aspeninstitute.org/bsp

This program builds on 60 years of Aspen Institute programming to help established and emerging business leaders put values at the heart of practice. Through dialogue, research, and outreach, the program creates opportunities for executives and educators to explore new routes to business sustainability and values-based leadership. Its Corporate Values Strategy Group for business executives supports long-term thinking in business and investing through change in corporate practice as well as public policy. Its First Movers Fellowship is for exceptional business innovators who are integrating profitability and social value in their companies. The program is also home to several signature programs for innovators in business education, including Beyond Grey Pinstripes, CasePlace.org, and Faculty Pioneers, which highlight cutting-edge teaching and research on social and environmental stewardship.

The goal of this program is to identify and accelerate the replication of campus-based practices and policies that improve student success. The programs first initiative, the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, awards one million dollars biennially to the nations best community colleges. The prize aims to bring together community colleges around a measurable definition of excellence, to recognize community colleges that achieve exceptional student results, and to stimulate innovation on campuses nationwide. More recently, the program initiated the New College Leadership Project to inform the recruitment and training of a new generation of community college presidents capable of improving student success. After releasing a report identifying the qualities of exceptional presidents, program staff worked with leader colleges from the national nonprofit organization Achieving the Dream to further develop the skills and knowledge needed to achieve high levels of student success.

Improving college student outcomes is a vital national priority. Only half of all college students graduate, 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 after graduating. 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 in a knowledge-based economy.

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 policymaking world where veteran and emerging decision-makers can explore new concepts and develop policy networks. The program convenes approximately 10 leadership roundtables each year on subjects such as e-commerce, institutional innovation, smart grids, spectrum policy, big data, cloud computing, and global Internet governance. The program is also conducting ongoing projects on public libraries and online learning. Leaders from across disciplines and perspectives engage in moderated discussions that culminate in specific

The Economic Opportunities Program promotes strategies to help low-income Americans participate successfully in the US economy. EOP has three primary areas of focus: entrepreneurship and small or microenterprise development, labor market strategies that enable low-income people to adapt to and make a living in our rapidly-changing economy, and financial tools that build the ability of lowincome Americans to save, build assets, and achieve a measure of economic security. EOP works closely with leaders of local efforts focused on building opportunity, including leaders from community colleges, community-based nonprofits, businesses, and economic development organizations, as well as elected officials, and other stakeholders. EOP evaluates innovative and promising strategies, provides peer learning and leadership development opportunities for local leaders, develops practical tools that help organizations implement promising strategies, and promotes public conversation around and attention to the issues facing lowincome Americans, and ideas for promoting shared prosperity. The program includes three distinct initiatives: the Microenterprise Fund for Innovation, Effectiveness, Learning, and Dissemination (FIELD); the Workforce Strategies Initiative; and Skills for Americas Future.

The US manufacturing sector has long been a source of good jobs, innovation, and global competitiveness, as well as a pillar of both community stability and national security. In the current economic climate many fear the decline of this sector, even though it is leading the stubbornly weak economic recovery and regaining momentum. What can be done to preserve and strengthen this critical part of the US economy and society? 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 a CEO seminar is held in Aspen, Colorado, to build consensus on issues important to the sector.

The conversation is between architecture and the cultural and civic project. It has less to do with the physical structure than with a productive relationship in which architecture can take a different form of agency. It can make a dent in politics and into conventions of everyday life and it can have a civic relevance.

What could be more important?

Over the last 16 years the Henry Crown Fellowship Program has grown in unimagined ways, and with the graduation of every new class we are reminded that more resources are needed to support this wonderful program. The Fellowship will always need just a bit more in order to continue to provide quality seminars and alumni and regional gatherings.
