Our Mission – Our Name
Regent Pacific
Since 1974
By definition, a Regent is someone who acts on behalf of a person
in authority when circumstances make it difficult or impossible for that
person to act on his own behalf. Of the nearly sixty synonyms for
Regent, the one that comes closest to our mission is “protector.”
Pacific means peaceful or making peace. Of the many synonyms for
Pacific, “mediatory” best explains our position, as one who interposes
between parties at variance for the purpose of reconciling them.
Regent Pacific’s name aptly describes what we do,
and has identified who we are for three decades.
