AASA Statement in Response to the Two Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria

It is with heavy hearts that we watch the suffering of those affected by the two earthquakes in Turkey and Syria that struck on February 6, 2023. The loss is immeasurable and the hardships for the survivors are immense. We recognize some AASA members may have family living in Syria and Turkey and they have been directly affected by the earthquakes.  We offer our sincere condolences to those who have lost loved ones in this tragedy.
