Jain Center of Southern California (JCSC) was established in September 1975 by thirty Jain families with one important mandate to practice, promote and teach Jainism with no sectarian bias. Community leaders Lalitbhai Shah, Mahendrabhai Khandhar, Manibhai Mehta, Kalyanjibhai Mota, and others - guided the activities and growth of the Jain Center from 1975 to 1980. An adaptation of the formal Bylaws in 1980 led to the establishment and election of an Executive Committee with 9 officers.
On 14 February 1994, Jain Center of Southern California (JCSC) was incorporated into a non-profit limited liability California corporation and the Executive Committee was expanded from 9 to 15 elected officers. In 2004 JCSC adopted a new set of By-laws with two significant changes to its organizational structure: (a) The Executive Committee assumed the responsibility for day-to-day management of the Jain Center and its activities; and (b) A Board of Directors assumed the responsibility of managing all major assets of the organization.
