The Assyrian Studies Association (ASA), formerly the Assyrian Academic Society, is an academic, educational and minority organization of Assyrians in the United States. The modern organization of ASA was founded in 2019 to continue the AAS' original roles.
From its original foundation, AAS was based in Chicago, a city with one of the largest communities of Assyrian Americans, and was established as a non-governmental organization dedicated to promotion and preservation of Assyrian cultural and historical heritage. Its activities included organization of lectures and seminars, promotion of Assyrian literature and native language, and cooperation with other Assyrian organizations, both in the United States and worldwide. The organization was a registered 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, without political affiliations.[1][2][3][4]
