Economics for Leaders- University of Colorado, Boulder, CO

The Economics for Leaders program is a weeklong residential program devoted to the development of future leaders. The goal of the Economics for Leaders program is to give 30 promising students the skills to be more effective leaders and to teach them how to employ economic analysis when considering difficult public policy choices. Given the challenges confronting our nation and, assuming that problems in years to come will be equally consequential, the job of preparing the next generation of leaders may be one of the most important actions we can take now to ensure our well being in the future. The FTE is committed to finding and nurturing those budding leaders.
