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.

Seminar for Mid-America Foundation CEOs

Mid-America convenes leaders from ~20 place-based foundations. Participants learn from each other, strengthen peer networks, build partnerships, and reflect on their work within the context of social issues and challenges.

For more than two decades, PSI’s Seminar for Mid-America Foundation CEOs has helped foundation leaders work together to identify thorny issues, solve deep-rooted problems, and develop a sense of shared community and purpose.

The seminar provides foundation executives from the mid and southern parts of the country the opportunity to engage in off-the-record, in-depth conversations in an informal setting. The invitation-only seminars help to build alliances among participants making it easier for them to fund projects together or undertake other joint approaches to systemic problems in our society.
