MISSION:
The Winthrop Rockefeller Institute is a nonprofit conference and retreat center whose mission is to continue Winthrop Rockefeller’s collaborative approach to creating transformational change. The Institute engages its resources and Winthrop Rockefeller’s values to convene purposeful gatherings on his historic cattle farm. It does 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 the Institute’s mountaintop location, coupled with the highest levels of hospitality, ensures that all who visit are able to do their best work.
