The rule I follow for translating proper names as part of an institutional name is *not* to use quote marks.
Also, it's important to say 'for' because 'of would mean an association of people.

As for whether or not to translate it, the rule I follow is to translate ordinary concepts but not proper names, neologisms, or other tricky terms. The practice of international organizations is to follow the translation with the original name in italics between brackets or parens, followed by the abbreviation in roman style letters.

: Hi Muriel, I agree with your use of "for", but regarding quotes, Buenos Aires is in quotes in the original deliberately (the name was changed and the quotes were added) so I think it's reasonable to leave them in English too.

Hi Emma, I guess we can agree to disagree, but the WHO and PAHO style manuals would have us remove the quotes in English translations.

I would suggest to leave it in Spanish if it is a title and give reference of its translation somewhere in the text.
Such as Asociación de Alergia, Asma e Inmunología “Buenos Aires” - AAIBA (Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Society of Buenos Aires)

And answering your question, from my research I could find any "official" translation. Maybe some of our colleagues may find.

"Buenos Aires" Association of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
As Fabio suggests, I would leave the name in Spanish and put the English in square brackets afterwards.
However, I've checked out the website http://www.aaiba.org.ar/aaiba.php and it says that AAIBA is now a national association (it was originally just Buenos Aires). So you need to keep Buenos Aires in inverted commas in English too.

Discussion
I understand your position on quotes around proper names, but I believe that Ms. Emma has a good point as well. The link provided by Emma, clearly state that the Association was of "... **jurisdicción a todo el territorio Nacional**. Además, teniendo en cuenta pautas internationals, se agregó la palabra Asma. La Institución renació entonces como Asociación de Alergia, Asma e Inmunología “Buenos Aires”."
Quotation marks were placed here because is wasn't a Buenos Aires Association only but a national one, which bring us to the question, how can we give the same "hidden" meaning as it was given in Spanish. In my opinion, this shouldn't be ignored.
