Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
The Aspen Institute Business and Society Program hosted the third First Movers Summit in Glen Cove, Long Island on October 1-4, 2015. This weekend event brought together First Mover Fellows from all seven classes, members of the Aspen Leaders Forum and other invited experts in the field of social intrapreneurship.
SUMMIT GOALS
Connect – Build lasting bonds across the classes of Fellows and network with other experts in social intrapreneurship.
Collaborate – Explore how Fellows working on similar challenges (e.g. renewable energy, food security, financial inclusion) can share insights and work together for greater impact.
Learn – Reinforce skills acquired in First Movers seminars and gain new ones. Find answers to current challenges by engaging in dialogue with peers, business leaders and academic experts.
Inspire – Share and receive updates, stories and advice from colleagues. Discover new techniques and possibilities for being successful at work, at home and beyond.
Envision – Take time to reflect, prioritize and plan. Think deeply about the future of your career, your industry and the world.
