Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Writing a Public Comment
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
In the Aspen Policy Academy‘s Writing a Public Comment instructional webinar, participants will be introduced to a framework for writing effective public comments, which are essential tools that regulators are required to rely upon before making significant policy changes. Any individual or organization is welcome to submit comments on how proposals for regulations and other policies could impact them or the communities they care about, so learning to participate in this process is a great way to make an impact on government policies.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of what public comments are, how they are used, and strategies for crafting your own public comment to achieve policy change!
