We are requesting funding for the programs in the Vail Symposium Summer 2015 season. 14
programs are currently scheduled for this season, with 3 additional programs in the works, for a
potential total of 17 programs. These programs will be presented weekly from June 15, 2015
through September 10, 2015. This is a dramatic increase over the total number of programs
presented a year ago during our Summer 2014 season, which featured only 10 programs, and
we need additional funding now more than ever to support this growth.
The programs in this summer’s series will provide Vail’s residents and visitors with opportunities
to convene together to learn about and discuss a variety of topics, including The Future of Solar
Energy, Nutrition for Peak Performance, The Making of Major Art Exhibitions, Energy Medicine
and Quantum Self-Healing and more. And we’re maximizing our marketing efforts and program
reach by partnering with other local events and businesses such as Vail Film Festival (on a 3-
part film series this August), Vail Vitality Center and Clagget/Rey Gallery.
These programs are a crucial part of Vail’s educational framework. They elevate Vail’s status as
a premier international mountain resort by bringing world-renowned experts and groundbreaking
topics to everyone in our community, ultimately enhancing the experience of living in or visiting
Vail. We thank you for your support in helping us continue to bring exceptional, thought-
provoking and intellectually stimulating programs to our community.
