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 title of Emeritus Trustee is bestowed on individuals who have served the Institute with distinction and who continue to serve as important ambassadors for the Institute’s work.
