The Luke Center for Catalytic Leadership is Oregon's premier leadership development organization. Established in 1997, the Luke Center seeks to create and support transformational leadership for the public good. Catalytic leadership centers around the visionary work of the late Dr.Jeffery Luke, and involves the application of strategic leadership skills for addressing complex and interconnected issues of public interest. The Pacific Program is The Luke Center's flagship training event. Now in its 30th year, The Pacific Program has trained nearly one-thousand leaders in the public and private sectors. In addition to the The Pacific Program, The Luke Center has produced other training events including, the Cascade Program for Emerging Leaders, partnership training with Leadership Oregon, and annual Alumni Training Events. The financial, social and political challenges that we in the Northwest face today underscore the need for catalytic leadership. The solutions to these challenges will be found through vision, building relationships across sectors, collaboration and passion. The Luke Center prepares leaders to meet these challenges.
