A new online tool gives you a closer look at the fascinating work of the Aspen Global Leadership Network (AGLN) Fellows. Profiles of the more than 1,700 AGLN Fellows from 46 countries, and their projects, are now available to be viewed by everyone, instead of being limited to members. 

Below are just a few examples of the featured Fellows and projects you will find on the Fellow Exchange:

Henry Crown Fellowship  

Project: Moon Valley Foundation

Moon Valley Enterprises helps build sustainable, successful, international agribusiness in the West Bank, creating jobs and alleviating poverty.

Reconnect America is a media program which bridges this gap by featuring a new military charity each month and promoting it on the Discovery Channel & online at Military.com. Read More
