For the past two decades the Coudert Institute has, in a non-political manner, earned a reputation for driving meaningful change. Coudert Institute programming, led by global visionaries at the forefront of the arts, the environment, music, science, literature and international affairs, is skillfully tailored to engage our audiences at the highest level. Through civil dialogue, we tackle the questions of our time.

We are not a one philosophy institute.

Under the counsel of the Coudert Institute Board Of Directors, Dale Coudert’s eponymous organization takes considerable pride in being both non-partisan and non-ideological.  Mrs. Coudert emphasizes, “At a time when most policy groups and think-tanks share preconceived agendas and seek mainly to document already arrived at conclusions, we welcome open dialogue and diverse opinions as the best way to reach thoughtful conclusions. This approach in turn helps our members make more meaningful contributions locally, nationally, and globally.

For over five decades, Dale Coudert has been bringing people together and facilitating dialogue on subjects that matter. What began in her fabulous Manhattan living room in the early 1960s, over time, evolved into the Palm Beach-based non-profit Coudert Institute of today!

A Chicago native, Dale Coudert has long been lauded for her outstanding community leadership and her success in bringing competing voices together in dialogue. While she has amassed many academic and professional accomplishments, it is perhaps her commitment to advancing the possibilities of our shared humanity for which she is most admired.
