Mission, Vision, & Method

Our mission, vision, and method not only guide our own work through programs and workshops, but also in how we invite others to engage with us when they have their conferences and meetings at the Institute.

Our Mission

We continue Winthrop Rockefeller’s collaborative approach to creating transformational change.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every person is empowered to bring their unique perspective to bear on the most monumental of challenges and participate in the search for solutions.

Our Method

We engage our resources and Winthrop Rockefeller’s values to convene purposeful gatherings on his historic cattle farm. We do this work by employing the “Rockefeller Ethic,” which represents the belief that diversity of opinion, engaging in respectful dialogue, and practicing collaborative problem solving combine to create transformational change. The productive energy of our mountaintop location, coupled with the highest levels of hospitality, ensures that all who come here can do their best work.
