Overview
The Aspen Institute Congressional Program has played an important role in building bipartisan relationships in Congress and educating U.S. House and Senate members about major policy issues. Members of Congress regularly cite the Congressional Program as one of the best nonpartisan learning environments available to them and an excellent opportunity for cross-party dialogue. This renewal grant will allow Congressional Program participants to discuss ideas and analyze policies, either in a series of breakfast meetings on Capitol Hill and in three or four multiday, invitation-only conferences, or in new post-pandemic formats. The program also hosts substantive conferences for selected congressional staff.
