Organization
The mission of the Pacific Council, as stated on its website, is to address global issues “by giving more effective voice to West Coast perspectives on them.” To that end, the Council convenes speaking events, conference calls, international trips, and workshops for members based throughout the West Coast of the United States.
The Council organizes an annual Members Weekend conference in Santa Monica, CA, which convenes “business, government, civic, and academic leaders from around the world to analyze and debate the most important global policy issues.” Since 2010, it has also hosted an annual Spring Conference.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
