Leading with Purpose

From our beginnings as a place for deep reflection on human values to our evolution as a global convener of changemakers, the Aspen Institute has long believed that leadership begins with reflection—and grows through connection, curiosity, and action. Our legacy is rooted in fostering dialogue, developing values-driven individuals, and advancing solutions that strengthen communities and create new possibilities for a better world.

Our leadership programs cultivate networks of principled leaders who bring insight and action to their organizations and communities. We convene experts, students, emerging leaders, and engaged members of the public to reflect, connect, and exchange ideas that matter. This month, we’re highlighting several offerings open to the public. If you're looking to deepen your leadership and make sense of today’s rapidly changing world, consider joining one of our public seminar programs or events below.
