ABOUT US

The Aspen Institute is a global nonprofit organization whose purpose is to ignite human potential to build understanding and create new possibilities for a better world. Founded in 1949, the Institute drives change through dialogue, leadership, and action to help solve society’s greatest challenges. It is headquartered in Washington, DC, and has a campus in Aspen, Colorado, as well as an international network of partners.

ASPEN STRATEGY GROUP

The Aspen Strategy Group’s (ASG) mission is to convene decision-makers in resolutely nonpartisan public and private forums to address key foreign policy challenges facing the United States. Founded in 1984 by William Perry, Brent Scowcroft, and Joseph S. Nye, Jr., the Aspen Strategy Group is a bipartisan group of members from government, academia, business, and the media.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing
