Invest in Pacific Leadership
This Giving Tuesday, make an investment in a more secure, prosperous, and cooperative Pacific Hemisphere.
Help us build San Diego’s Home for Pacific Leadership
San Diego is America’s Strategic City — and gateway to the Pacific.
At The La Jolla Center for Pacific Strategy, we are building a home for our city’s and our country’s Pacific leaders. We bring people together across industries and sectors to solve the Pacific’s toughest challenges and shape a more secure, prosperous, and cooperative Pacific Hemisphere.
Your support today helps build the Pacific's next generation of leaders.
With your help, we are:
Developing future strategic leaders through our Graduate Internships and Fellowships
Designing action-ready strategies by engaging real-world stakeholders in our Strategy Development Working Groups
Providing a framework for aligning and mobilizing social action through our Social Strategy Development Process
Shaping a Pacific future that is more secure, prosperous, and cooperative for everyone
“The Pacific is my home — and I’ve dedicated my life to making it a better place.”
Launching The La Jolla Center for Pacific Strategy has been one of the most meaningful projects of my career.
As a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and former U.S. Marine Corps and Law Enforcement Officer, I know San Diego has always played a critical role in America’s Pacific story. But it has never had a dedicated institution to shape the strategies, ideas, and leaders our region — and the world — will need in the years ahead.
We are building that institution now.
Our vision is simple: bring people together across sectors and across industries to develop the strategies, talent, and partnerships that will strengthen security, prosperity, and cooperation across the Pacific. In our first year, we’ve launched new graduate internships and fellowships, begun publishing foundational work on Social Strategy, and started convening students, practitioners, and leaders committed to the same mission.
This Giving Tuesday, I’m asking you to join us in building something that will matter far beyond this moment. Your support helps us develop future strategic leaders, produce actionable strategies, and grow a community dedicated to shaping the Pacific’s future.
Thank you for believing in this mission — and for helping establish San Diego’s home for Pacific Leadership.
