The Pacific Council on International Policy is a non-partisan membership-based organization focused on foreign policy. Founded in 1995 in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations, the Pacific Council is a 501c(3) non-profit organization. It is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Its activities include speaking events, policy-focused task forces, and international fact-finding missions.
The mission of the Pacific Council 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, based throughout the West Coast of the United States.
The Council organizes an annual Members Weekend conference, 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.
Jerrold D. Green currently serves as the Pacific Council’s President and CEO. Rockwell Schnabel, former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union (2001-2005), U.S. Ambassador to Finland (1986-1989), and Acting Secretary of Commerce (1992), and Marc Nathanson, Chairman of Mapleton Investments, are Co-Chairmen of the Board of Directors, which also includes Susan McCaw, Antonia Hernández, Mel Levine, and Mickey Kantor, among others. Abraham F. Lowenthal was the founding President of the Pacific Council.
