The second in our series of online seminars will take place on Saturday 11 April, and will explore Lessons for Leadership in a Crisis. Our alumni are relishing the opportunity to stay connected an engaged, and we are busy planning several more seminars to help them do so in the coming months.
While we normally convene in person, we’re finding that these online seminars evoke some of the magic that happens when we bring a diverse range of people together.
Ruth Girardet will be leading this leadership discussion, prompting us to examine our values and decisions as leaders during this time of global crisis. The seminar will be based on a short text, which acts as a common starting point for participants to reflect on the things that matter to our society today.

These online seminars are not the only Aspen UK activities taking place while we’re all at home. More information will follow shortly about the various Aspen UK online Conversations and Webinars. These will be more public than these alumni online seminars, and we’d be delighted if you invite others to join us. More information will follow soon.
