Rodel's Mission

The Rodel Institute seeks to strengthen democracy and public leadership in the United States. A nonpartisan center for leadership and intellectual growth, we help America’s most promising leaders reach their full potential as public servants, deepen their commitment to democracy and the rule of law, and work together to address some of our nation’s most important domestic and international challenges. The Institute’s programs convene diverse leaders from across the country and the political, legal, and policy spectrum in an effort to find common ground, build enduring relationships, and encourage the understanding and cooperation needed to move our nation forward.
