Fellows are the first to know of offerings, receiving special invitations to programs in Aspen, New York, Washington, DC, San Francisco, and elsewhere across the country. Those who wish to engage more deeply in the Aspen Institute’s work are encouraged to join. An SOF membership is tax-deductible. To learn more, visit aspeninstitute.org/sof.
