Our Logo

The logo of the Washington Institute
is in keeping with all that the Institute
represents. Immediately eye catching
is the overall “W” design, standing for
“Washington”.
Each of the three triangles represents
business, government, and society.
They come together at the base with
a rising pyramid that joins them
together. Even the colors represent
integrity, vision, and dynamism.

OUR
MOTTO

“Shaping
the World
Together”

“Shaping the World Together”
conveys nothing less than the need
for business, government, and society
to recognize that they are dependent
on one another in forging a future
filled with promise and achievement.
Disconnection can only lead to
dysfunction and ultimately failure.

The
Global
Economy

Trade and international
commerce have brought
unprecedented prosperity to
many parts of the world.

However, it is clear that not all
have benefited equally from the
fundamental changes in our global
economy. Furthermore, if current
trends continue, the challenges
plaguing our shared economy, such
as income inequality, stagnant wages,
and lack of viable retraining options
for displaced workers, will only worsen.

The Washington Institute is
committed to drawing attention to
these pressing challenges among
leaders of business, government, and
society, and serving as a catalyst for
their combined efforts.

In 2019, the Washington Institute
convened current and future leaders
to consider how to address these
challenges and laid the groundwork
for furthering these efforts in 2020.
