Overview
Overview
The organization is also a part of the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language (ASALE), which brings together 23 corporations on four continents, in Spain, throughout the Americas, the Philippines, and Equatorial Guinea. Spanish professor Tomás Navarro Tomás was a founding member of the academy and a member of RAE who fled to the United States from Spain in 1939 during the Spanish Civil War. The institution was not named Academia Estadounidense de la Lengua Española because in 1973, New York state authorities −where it was established as a nonprofit educational organization− did not accept this denomination in order to avoid being mistaken for a governmental institution. According to the state, this would be more evident in its English translation: United States Academy of the Spanish Language. Directors of the Academy: • Carlos McHale (1973–1978) • Odón Betanzos Palacios (1978–2007) • Gerardo Piña-Rosales (2008–2019) • Carlos Paldao (2019–2024) • Nuria Morgado (2024–present)
