The
Hubbard Association of Scientologists or
HAS was the original corporation founded in 1954 by
L. Ron Hubbard that managed all
Scientology organizations. The HAS evolved from the Office of L. Ron Hubbard located in
Phoenix, Arizona. It was re-incorporated later in the year as the
Hubbard Association of Scientologists International (HASI) to correct the non-profit status omission in the corporate paperwork.
