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.
