The Associates for Contemporary San Diego was incorporated in 1966 by twelve women who sought to publicize and promote the
City and County of San Diego as a scientific and cultural center, as well as to promote and/or sponsor scientific and cultural
events. They supported large cultural events such as San Diego's bicentennial celebration and collaborated with environmental
and educational groups including the San Diego Zoological Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Galbraith, Mrs. Marian Longstreth, Mrs. Lucien B. McDonald, Mrs. Clinton D. McKinnon, Mrs. Neil Morgan, Mrs. William A. Nierenberg,
