The Institute is located in central Arkansas atop Petit Jean Mountain on the grounds of former Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller’s cattle farm. The Institute’s mission is to perpetuate the legacy of Gov. Rockefeller as a catalyst for positive change by bringing together people of diverse ideas and interests to practice collaborative problem-solving and respectful dialogue, called the “Rockefeller Ethic.”
