AAS-A Set to Achieve Better Business Bureau 'Seal of Approval'

The Assyrian Aid Society of America (AAS-A) is in the process of receiving Better Business Bureau (BBB) recognition as a national charity that adheres to the BBB's strong and comprehensive Standards for Charity Accountability, to clearly assure our donors and supporters that AAS-A is financially responsible, accountable, and trustworthy.

At it's meeting in Detroit on March 1, 2008 the AAS-A Board of Directors adopted a list of bylaw revisions written specifically to address the BBB standards, including institution of annual independent financial audits and requiring the Board to meet three times each year instead of only once.

The BBB standards are rigorous and demanding, having been developed to evaluate large non-profit charity corporations with multi-million dollar annual budgets. While AAS-A is not a multi-million dollar corporation, we invited those same standards to be applied to us in order to maintain the confidence of our donors as well as to make AAS-A a better organization.

AAS-A has worked diligently with BBB representatives to insure that we are taking all of the necessary steps to meet their standards. We look forward to conducting that third Board of Directors meeting in November and thus being in full compliance with the standards of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.

No other Assyrian charity organization has met the Better Business Bureau standards. We encourage them all to join us in pursuing this noble achievement.
