The Mountain States Assembly, the third of six meetings in The American Assembly's ambitious multi-year Next Generation Project, took place at the Newman Center for Performing Arts, the University of Denver, on June 14-16, 2007. The Assembly was co-sponsored with the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver, led by Dean Tom J. Farer.

Over two and a half days, the Next Generation Project Fellows' discussions laid the groundwork to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the current national and international institutional architecture.  Perhaps most importantly, fellows with a wide range of perspectives discussed  these complex questions in a productive, respectful, and creative manner.
