meaning - Difference between "affiliated" and "associated"
What is the difference between being affiliated and being associated with a group of people?
Answer
Affiliation is generally a closer and more formal connection than association is. I think affiliation is used more in the professional world than outside. There is a connotation of exclusivity with affiliation. If someone is affiliated with, say, one university, he or she is probably not affiliated with other schools.
(Also, regarding preposition choice, note that in the U.S. you would usually say or write that you are affiliated with or associated with a group of people.)
