The Program

The entrenched challenges within the finance industry and society require systems-level solutions—solutions that demand courageous leadership, cross-sector collaboration, and a clear understanding of how industry inefficiencies are linked to societal inequities. Each year, using the Aspen Institute’s method of text-based dialogue, FLF selects ~22 senior finance leaders to embark on a two-year journey of intensive discourse and reflection, inspiring them to cultivate the courage, collaboration, and insight necessary to address these challenges.

The two-year seminar journey consists of four week-long seminars during that provide Fellows the opportunity to reflect on their leadership values, the concept of the ‘Good Society,’ leading in an increasingly global age, leadership legacy, and opportunities and tensions within finance. Through penetrating dialogue and deep introspection, Fellows cultivate a lasting commitment to values-driven leadership and embrace their responsibility and opportunity as industry leaders to use finance as a force for societal good.

Fellows commit to a two-year transformative Fellowship program, which:

Transforms leaders by engaging them in a journey of personal exploration that cultivates and sharpens their values

Catalyzes action by supporting the launch of impact ventures that stretch Fellows’ leadership and creates positive change across the finance ecosystem and global communities

Forges a global community of like-hearted leaders committed to using finance as a force for societal good
