Rising Leaders Program
The Aspen Strategy Group (ASG) has been strongly committed to cultivating the next generation of leaders in national security and foreign policy—formally and informally—since its inception in 1984. In 2021, we solidified these efforts and launched the ASG Rising Leaders Program that brings together young professionals to contribute to the conversation on critical foreign policy issues while honing their leadership skills. The year-long program gives participants the unique opportunity to learn from key decision-makers—and each other—under the aegis of the Aspen Strategy Group.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Over the course of the program, participants:

Rising Leaders join a lifetime network of foreign policy and national security thought leaders.
