I think you did it rigbt. In general you capitalize the content words and not prepositions, artícles etc. At least this happens according to my experience. Example: Servicio Oficial de Difusión Radioléctrica ( SODRE)

As Polenta said, you've got it right.

If you want to see lots of examples go to the Spanish Wiki. (search for wiki libre in google) and then type asociación + any other single letter into the search box once you're there.

For example:

asociación b

Asociación Bienestar y Desarrollo
Asociación Bancaria
Asociación Baloncesto Mérida
Asociación Bancaria de Venezuela
Asociación Brasileña de Ateos y Agnósticos
Asociación Barcelonesa de Laringectomizados
Asociación Barrial Tupac Amaru
Asociación Británica para el Avance de la Ciencia
Asociación Brasileña de Hispanistas
