association
When referring to a group of people, "association" is usually a countable noun (e.g., "an association"). When describing a mental connection or a link between two things, it can be used as both countable and uncountable depending on whether you are talking about one specific link or the general concept of linking. In professional contexts, this word is often used in the formal names of organizations, such as "The American Medical Association."
