Nebraska Academy Of Sciences, Inc.

摘要

The membership of the Academy consists of those individuals and institutions interested in science and those persons actively working and contributing to science in the State of Nebraska. It includes nonprofessional persons, as well as representatives from education, the professions, industry, and governmental agencies.rnThe Academy was organized in 1880 in Omaha with seventy-five charter members, and reorganized in 1891 in Lincoln. The Academy was incorporated in 1950 as a nonprofit educational institution, and it is neither a state agency nor is it sponsored by any particular university, college, or other Nebraska educational organization. In 1963, the Internal Revenue Service established the Academy's rating as "Section 501(c) (3)" of the Internal Revenue Code. The Policy Committee of the Academy is made up of one representative from each of the colleges and universities of the State.
