About AAS

About the American Association of Singapore

 

Since our founding in 1917, the American Association of Singapore has served as the bridge to the expat community and the cross-roads to our geographic region. Our dynamic organization welcomes all expats to promote multiculturalism through resources, publications and networking. The American Association of Singapore is the oldest American organization in Singapore. Most expats don’t realize that AAS was the founder for most of the American community organizations in Singapore.
