About us

Our Mission: We continue Winthrop Rockefeller's collaborative approach to creating transformational change. Our Vision: We envision a future where every person is empowered to bring their unique perspective to bear on the most monumental of challenges and participate in the search for solutions. Our Method: We engage our resources and Winthrop Rockefeller’s values to convene purposeful gatherings on his historic cattle ranch. We do 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 our mountaintop location coupled with the highest levels of hospitality ensure all who come here are able to do their best work. The Rockefeller Ethic: Collaborative Problem Solving + Respectful Dialogue + Diversity of Opinion = Transformational Change

    Please join me for an #CivicArkansas listening session. Civic Arkansas is a Winthrop Rockefeller Institute initiative to improve the civic health of Arkansas by empowering communities and citizens to practice collaborative problem-solving at the local level. Lets talk about the good things happening in our communities and learn about barriers to participating in voting, volunteering, and community meetings. The session is 90 minutes, and will provide opportunities for anonymous input, individual answers and some small group discussions.

    18 years ago this month, Winthrop Paul Rockefeller passed away at age 57. He was the only son of Winthrop Rockefeller and Barbara Sears. Lieutenant Governors are the often forgotten servants of the public in Arkansas state government. Like vice presidents, the person who holds the office shapes his or her role. Lt. Gov. Winthrop Paul Rockefeller was elected in 1996 and served two more terms until 2006. Given his famous last name and extraordinary resources, he could have chosen to live anywhere in the world, but like his father, he chose Arkansas. No exhibit can fully capture a person and political leader, but ours seeks to highlight his aspirations while encouraging further exploration of his life. The fourth photo is of his office as Lt. Governor of Arkansas, recreated and housed at the Institute. Not shown are various display cases and memorabilia highlighting Winthrop Paul's career, favorite hobbies, and the causes he championed. Visit our campus to learn more about Winthrop Paul Rockefeller and his legacy in Arkansas.

    Yesterday was a devastating day for our nation. It’s on each of us to stop this dangerous cycle of mutual destruction. No matter where we land on the political spectrum, here’s what we must do as we head into the upcoming election: 1. The immediate priority is to not escalate an already precarious situation. Do not throw fuel on the fire through attacks and counterattacks over responsibility for the assassination attempt. We’ve gotten ourselves into a deep hole. The first thing we must do is stop digging. 2. Second, we have to tone down the apocalyptic rhetoric that our democracy will not survive four years of President Trump or President Biden. When the survival of the American experiment is at stake, violence can seem justified and even heroic. We have to believe in ourselves that we can hold onto our democratic republic no matter who wins or loses an election. 3. Third, we must use this time to soul-search what we’ve allowed to happen in our political culture, from the national to the local level, and in our families and friendships. Polarization is a “We the People” problem and not just a “those politicians” problem. We have a role to play. For years, we've unleashed bitter contempt on our fellow Americans who think and vote differently and, as a result, have created a toxic cycle to which both sides contribute. Together, we can change the trajectory of this polarization. Now is the time. Our country depends on it.

  • At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker takes a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and play. Join our #CivicArkansas Democracy Reading Challenge by reading "The Art of Gathering," or choose from our list of recommendations by Institute staff, supporters, and a few former state governors.
