Senior Program Officer
Jace White joined the National Committee in fall 2021 as a program officer, supporting the Professional Fellows Program and public events.
He is an experienced coordinator of international NGO programs and has served peacebuilding and development projects across the Indo-Pacific region. Most recently, he helped pioneer backchannel dialogue platforms among Chinese and South Asian stakeholders on the critical issues of regional water insecurity and environmental degradation.
Mr. White holds a master’s degree in international politics and China studies from the Nanjing Center of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and has previously studied Mandarin in Suzhou and Shanghai, as well.
When not reading books on history, he also enjoys completing and designing crosswords, and pulling together hypothetical travel itineraries – all with ample coffee on hand.
