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.

Lessons in Leadership: Courage and Conviction
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
The importance of leadership, courage, and conviction in this moment of profound challenge and opportunity cannot be understated. We need leaders to pull us into a post-pandemic world, crack the walls of systemic racism so they come crashing down, and build a society that collaborates to create opportunity for those too often blocked from it. Reimagining a new world takes courageous leaders. Leaders driven by purpose, not protection of position, privilege, and power. We can learn much from leaders who draw strength from the values that guide them and are showing us the way to bring forth a better world for children and their families.The importance of leadership, courage, and conviction in this moment of profound challenge and opportunity cannot be understated.
