Extraordinary Ideas
Donors to the Society of Fellows (SOF) form an integral part of the Aspen Institute community, and as such are invited to attend year-round events including SOF Symposia, Luncheons and Discussion Receptions. Fellows are frequently among the first to know about Aspen Institute events in Aspen CO, Washington DC, Wye MD, and New York NY.

Extraordinary Access
Because of our policy work, global leadership network, public programs, and seminars, the Aspen Institute has access to some of the world's most inspired and provocative thinkers, writers, artists, business people, teachers, and leaders. As a member of the Society of Fellows, you will share in this access. Hear from, talk to, and debate with top minds—and expand your own.

Extraordinary Experiences
Fellows’ appreciation for the extraordinary work of the Institute is often the result of first-hand experiences. Many longtime Fellows recall having a life-transforming experience when they took part in the Aspen Seminar (previously the Executive Seminar). And quite a few new Fellows have enjoyed the richness of the Aspen Ideas Festival or have attended thought-provoking Fellows symposia.

The Role of Religion in the Public Sphere
February 22-25, 2012, Aspen, Colorado

This symposium will address contemporary trends in religious belief, the diverse roles of religion in public discourse, and trends for the coming decade. The program will offer an historical analysis of the debate over church and state, and delve into contemporary issues, including the role of religion in public schools and the intersection of religion and politics in the 2012 election. This lively exploration will challenge your assumptions and inform your thinking. Moderators: Amy Sullivan, contributing editor at TIME magazine, and Alan Wolfe, Director of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College.
