Explanation
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6
SINCE 1865, SCHOOL SYSTEM LEADERS HAVE JOINED THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS (AASA) FOR PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT, INFORMATION AND NEWS, NETWORKING, AND REPRESENTATION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND TO SUPPORT THE AASA MISSION TO ADVANCE PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN. AASA REPRESENTS SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS AT BOTH THE BUILDING AND CENTRAL OFFICE LEVEL. AASA'S PRIMARY MEMBERS ARE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS AND THOSE WHO ASPIRE TO THAT POSITION. AASA ALSO INCLUDES COLLEGE PROFESSORS WHO ARE PREPARING SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A
ANY MEMBER IN THE ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP CATEGORY WHO IS SERVING ON, OR HAS SERVED ON WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS, EITHER THE GOVERNING BOARD OR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND IS A MEMBER OF THEIR STATE ASSOCIATION IS ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT OF AASA. THE PRESIDENT-ELECT SERVES A ONE YEAR TERM BEFORE BECOMING PRESIDENT FOR ONE YEAR. FOLLOWING HIS/HER PRESIDENTIAL TERM HE/SHE BECOMES THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT FOR ONE YEAR. INTERESTED CANDIDATES FILE APPROPRIATE MATERIALS AND A $500 FILING WITH AASA NO LATER THAN THE 1ST FRIDAY IN DECEMBER. THE ELECTION COMMITTEE MEETS VIA CONFERENCE CALL TO REVIEW THE MATERIALS AND TO DECLARE THE CANDIDATE(S) ELIGIBLE. THE GOVERNING BOARD AT ITS WINTER MEETING NOMINATES THE CANDIDATE(S) FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT. IF MORE THAN 3 CANDIDATES ARE VYING FOR THE NOMINATION, THE GOVERNING BOARD MUST REDUCE THAT NUMBER TO NO MORE THAN 3. THE GOVERNING BOARD CANNOT ADD CANDIDATES.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS (AASA) USES OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS TO REVIEW ITS SALARIES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THIS REVIEW PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION'S COMPETITIVE POSITION RELATIVE TO PUBLISHED SURVEY DATA AND ASSURES THAT THE PAY OF EXECUTIVES AND OTHER EMPLOYEES IS REASONABLE. THE SALARY OF THE ASSOCIATION'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS DETERMINED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE BY ON MARKET COMPARISONS. THE SALARIES OF OTHER EXECUTIVES AND STAFF WERE REVIEWED BY CANTRILL & MOYER, L.L.C., OF BETHESDA, MARYLAND, IN JUNE 2008. AT THAT TIME, THE CONSULTANT REPORTED THAT THE SALARIES OF THE FIVE HIGHEST PAID EXECUTIVES, EXCLUDING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AVERAGED 101% OF THE MEDIAN SALARY PRACTICE REPORTED BY OTHER ASSOCIATIONS AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE 2008 COMPENSATION SURVEY OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE ASSOCIATION OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA. THE SALARIES OF OTHER STAFF AVERAGED 97% OF THE MEDIAN SALARY PRACTICE IN THAT SURVEY. THE CONSULTANT, CANTRILL & MOYER, L.L.C., ASSISTED THE ASSOCIATION AT THAT TIME TO CALCULATE SALARY INCREASES FOR EMPLOYEES BASED ON THEIR ASSIGNED PERFORMANCE RATINGS. A LETTER WAS SENT TO EACH EMPLOYEE BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN JULY 2008 TO COMMUNICATE THE AMOUNT OF THE SALARY INCREASE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE SALARY TO BE PAID IN FISCAL YEAR 2009. THE ANNUAL REVIEW OF SALARIES WAS NOT CONDUCTED IN 2010 DUE TO A SALARY FREEZE AT THE ASSOCIATION.
