The Challenge was:  How can Science and the Media get it right?

Our first Summit was a spectacular success and exceeded every expectation -- the group achieved the goal during the first day, and then committed to form working groups elevating science to the national discussion among political leaders, corporate leaders, and foundations. Within two days after the conclusion of the Summit, we had a listserve, a mission statement, goals, strategies, and a set of science talking points which were delivered to Hillary Clinton.

The subsequent Roundtable, which kicked off the Aspen Institute Ideas Festival, was one of the most highly-regarded plenary sessions of the Festival. Our first international press attention arrived in the form of a blog on Time's website-more is on its way!

The success of our first summit launched us into our 2009 summit, Global GreenPrint.
