Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences, until 1978 known as Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences in America, is an international non-profit organization with the aim to connect people with interest in Czech and Slovak intellectual contributions all around the world, supporting cooperation in culture, sciences, and education.
The society was founded in Washington DC in 1958 [1] on the basis of the Washington DC local chapter of the Czechoslovak National Council of America (headquartered in Chicago), by Dr. Jaroslav Němec,[2] a lawyer and exiled chief military prosecutor, with significant support from Vlasta Vraz, president of the Czechoslovak National Council of America.
In the years 1961–1978, the society was registered as Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences in America in the New York State. In November 1978, the society's head office was incorporated [3] in the nation's capital Washington DC, where it was incepted. In November 1978, also the society's official name was changed - it was shortened to Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences, to reflect its international character and new local chapters being created also outside of the United States.
All operations of this organization are carried out by unpaid volunteers. From its inception, the society has been independent and non-partisan.
