The aim of the society is the development and promotion of friendly cultural and economic relations between Switzerland and the USA and extending and enhancing the perception of the USA in Switzerland.
The society holds monthly luncheons (CHF 59 payable at the door, cash or credit card) with talks by key people from the world of business, politics, education and culture, mostly related to the USA. There are also a number of evening cultural events.
Membership fee CHF 80. The society is always appreciative of a voluntary CHF 50 for the scholarship fund. Total: CHF 130.
The society donates up to CHF 20,000 a year to scholarships. These donations are intended as an additional financial resource for studying and graduating in the USA and are limited to Swiss, or non-Swiss candidates with several years' ties to Switzerland.
