THE SCIENCE FAMILY OF JOURNALS: SCIENCE, FOUNDED IN 1880 ON $10,000 OF SEED MONEY FROM THE AMERICAN INVENTOR THOMAS EDISON, HAS GROWN TO BECOME THE WORLD'S LEADING OUTLET FOR SCIENTIFIC NEWS, COMMENTARY, AND CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH, WITH THE LARGEST PAID CIRCULATION OF ANY PEER-REVIEWED GENERAL-SCIENCE JOURNAL. THROUGH ITS PRINT AND ONLINE INCARNATIONS, SCIENCE REACHES AN ESTIMATED WORLDWIDE READERSHIP OF MORE THAN ONE MILLION. IN CONTENT, TOO, THE JOURNAL IS TRULY INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE: SOME 35 TO 40 PERCENT OF THE CORRESPONDING AUTHORS ON ITS PAPERS ARE BASED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. ITS ARTICLES CONSISTENTLY RANK AMONG WORLD'S MOST CITED RESEARCH. SCIENCE'S LEADING POSITION STEMS FROM MANY FACTORS: - THE JOURNAL'S STRONG TRADITION OF EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE; - ITS HIGH STANDARDS OF PEER-REVIEW AND EDITORIAL QUALITY (OF THE MORE THAN 12,000 TOP-NOTCH SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPTS THAT THE JOURNAL SEES EACH YEAR, LESS THAN 8 PERCENT ARE ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION); - ITS BOARD OF REVIEWING EDITORS, CONSISTING OF CLOSE TO 200 OF THE WORLD'S TOP SCIENTISTS; - ITS STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, WHICH ENSURES A STREAM OF LIVELY, UP-TO-DATE, AND AUTHORITATIVE NEWS AND COMMENTARY IN ITS PAGES; - THE DEDICATION OF ITS PROFESSIONAL STAFF IN THE U.S., THE U.K., AND OTHER COUNTRIES, INCLUDING 31 PH.D. EDITORS, A CREATIVE PRODUCTION AND ART GROUP, AND A TEAM OF SCIENCE WRITERS, REPORTERS, AND JOURNALISTS SECOND TO NONE; - THE SUPPORT OF ITS PUBLISHER, AAAS, THE WORLD'S LARGEST INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE SOCIETY. TODAY, 134 YEARS AFTER ITS FOUNDING, SCIENCE CONTINUES TO PUBLISH THE VERY BEST IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, NEWS, AND OPINION. WHETHER THE READER IS CONCERNED WITH AIDS, SARS, GENOMIC MEDICINE, MARS, OR GLOBAL WARMING, OR JUST WANTS TO KEEP ABREAST OF WHERE THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD IS AND WHERE IT'S GOING, THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING WORTHWHILE IN SCIENCE. IN ADDITION TO ITS FLAGSHIP JOURNAL, SCIENCE, AAAS ALSO PUBLISHES TWO OTHER SCHOLARLY JOURNALS: SCIENCE SIGNALING OFFERS ORIGINAL REVIEW ARTICLES, PROTOCOLS, TEACHING RESOURCES, AND OTHER RESOURCES ON CELLULAR SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION -- THE STUDY OF HOW CELLS COMMUNICATE THROUGH CHEMICAL SIGNALS, AN INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD WITH IMPLICATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL AREAS RANGING FROM EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT TO CANCER RESEARCH. A UNIQUE FEATURE OF THE SCIENCE SIGNALING WEBSITE IS ITS DATABASE OF CELL SIGNALING, WHICH GRAPHICALLY DEPICT THE CHEMICAL PATHWAYS OF CELL SIGNALING. SCIENCE TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE FOCUSES ON PRACTICAL MEDICAL ADVANCES THAT RESULT FROM ALL STAGES OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE. THE SITE OFFERS ORIGINAL RESEARCH, PERSPECTIVES DISCUSSING IMPORTANT RESULTS FROM BOTH CLINICAL AND BASIC RESEARCH VIEWPOINTS IN ALL AREAS OF MEDICINE, COMMENTARY FROM EXPERTS IN THE REGULATORY, POLICY, AND RESEARCH FIELDS, AND REVIEWS THAT IDENTIFY ROADBLOCKS IN THE TRANSLATION OF BASIC RESEARCH RESULTS INTO PRACTICAL TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC DISEASES AND EXPLORE TACTICS TO OVERCOME THOSE OBSTACLES. IN KEEPING WITH ITS TRADITION OF BREAKING NEW GROUND IN SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING, SCIENCE WAS A PIONEER IN MOVING JOURNAL CONTENT ONLINE, BEGINNING THE SHIFT IN 1995 WITH THE START OF SCIENCE ONLINE. WE ALSO LAUNCHED OUR ONLINE SCIENCE JOBS SITE, SCIENCE CAREERS AND OUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT SITE FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS, NEXT WAVE (WHICH HAS NOW BEEN MERGED WITH THE CAREERS SITE). SINCE THEN, OUR WEB FAMILY HAS GROWN IN SCOPE: - THE FLAGSHIP SCIENCE MAGAZINE SITE (WWW.SCIENCEMAG.ORG) PROVIDES THE FULL TEXT OF THE JOURNAL'S NEWS STORIES, RESEARCH REPORTS, AND COMMENTARY ARTICLES IN A SEARCHABLE DATABASE, ENHANCED BY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, LINKS, MULTIMEDIA, AND USER SERVICES, AS WELL AS A DATABASE OF SCIENTIFIC-PRODUCT INFORMATION. - SCIENCECAREERS.ORG IS THE WORLD'S LEADING RESOURCE IN MATCHING QUALIFIED SCIENTISTS WITH JOBS IN ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, AND GOVERNMENT, WHILE ALSO SERVING AS A NETWORKING HEADQUARTERS WITH JOB LISTINGS, RSUM POSTINGS, A SEARCHABLE MEETINGS-AND-EVENTS DATABASE, AND MORE. - THE SCIENCE EXPRESS AREA OF THE SITE POSTS SELECTED ORIGINAL, PEER-REVIEWED HOT RESEARCH WEEKS AHEAD OF ITS PRINT PUBLICATION DATE, THEREBY MAKING THE WORK AVAILABLE TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS AFTER MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTANCE. - OUR ONLINE DAILY NEWS SERVICE BRINGS BRIEF BREAKING NEWS STORIES FROM THE AWARD-WINNING REPORTING STAFF OF SCIENCE TO SUBSCRIBERS EVERY BUSINESS DAY. IN ADDITION TO DEVELOPING NEW ONLINE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, SCIENCE HAS SHOWN LEADERSHIP IN OTHER AREAS CENTRAL TO OUR CORE CONSTITUENCY -- THE WORKING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHER. WE WERE AMONG THE FIRST SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS TO EXPLORE INSTITUTIONAL SITE LICENSING OF OUR CONTENT, A DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS SINCE BECOME COMMONPLACE AND THAT HAS PUT SCIENTIFIC CONTENT ON THE DESKTOPS OF MILLIONS OF RESEARCHERS. WE WERE AN EARLY ADOPTER OF ONLINE MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION, STREAMLINING THE PROCESS OF GETTING PAPERS OUT OF RESEARCHERS' OFFICES AND INTO THE REVIEW PROCESS. AND, WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVE IN OPENING UP OUR RESEARCH AND OTHER CONTENT TO THE DEVELOPING WORLD THROUGH AAAS'S PARTICIPATION IN ONLINE INITIATIVES SUCH AS HINARI AND AGORA AND IN OUTREACH TO LAY STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH PATIENTINFORM.

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: TO FULFILL THIS MISSION, THE AAAS BOARD HAS SET THESE BROAD GOALS, ENHANCE COMMUNICATION AMONG SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, AND THE PUBLIC, PROMOTE AND DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF SCIENCE AND ITS USE, STRENGTHEN SUPPORT FOR THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISE, PROVIDE A VOICE FOR SCIENCE ON SOCIETAL ISSUES, PROMOTE THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF SCIENCE IN PUBLIC POLICY, STRENGTHEN AND DIVERSIFY THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORKFORCE, FOSTER EDUCATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYONE, INCREASE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AND ADVANCE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SCIENCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: 1) PROJECT 2061 IS A LONG-TERM AAAS INITIATIVE TO HELP ALL AMERICANS BECOME LITERATE IN SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, AND TECHNOLOGY. TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, PROJECT 2061 CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPS TOOLS AND SERVICES THAT EDUCATORS, RESEARCHERS, AND POLICYMAKERS CAN USE TO MAKE CRITICAL AND LASTING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NATION'S EDUCATION SYSTEM. THE PROJECT'S AREAS OF EXPERTISE INCLUDE LEARNING GOALS AND CURRICULUM. THROUGH ITS SCIENCE FOR ALL AMERICANS, BENCHMARKS FOR SCIENCE LITERACY AND THE TWO-VOLUME ATLAS OF SCIENCE LITERACY, PROJECT 2061 PROVIDES A COHERENT SET OF K-12 LEARNING GOALS THAT CAN SERVE AS A FOUNDATION FOR STATE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS. WITH FUNDING FROM NSF, NOAA, NASA, AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, PROJECT 2061'S RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ARE HELPING TO FOSTER A NEW GENERATION OF MORE EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM MATERIALS -IN PRINT AND ONLINE- FOR SCIENCE TEACHING AND LEARNING. PROJECT 2061 ALSO CONSULTS WIDELY WITH CURRICULUM RESEARCHERS AND DEVELOPERS. ASSESSMENT. PROJECT 2061 HAS DEVELOPED AN ONLINE BANK OF HIGH-QUALITY TEST ITEMS AND RELATED ASSESSMENT RESOURCES FOR USE IN MIDDLE AND EARLY HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE (HTTP://ASSESSMENT.AAAS.ORG). EACH ITEM IS RIGOROUSLY SCREENED FOR ALIGNMENT TO NATIONAL STANDARDS AND IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A DIVERSE RANGE OF STUDENTS, INCLUDING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS. THE ITEMS HAVE BEEN FIELD TESTED WITH NATIONAL SAMPLES OF STUDENTS TO GAUGE THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF IMPORTANT SCIENCE IDEAS AND TO IDENTIFY COMMONLY HELD MISCONCEPTIONS. PROJECT 2061 PARTICIPATES IN A NUMBER OF NATIONAL ASSESSMENT EFFORTS AND CONSULTS ON A WIDE RANGE OF ASSESSMENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES. CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT. IMPLEMENTING THE VISION OF THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS (NGSS) (LEAD STATES, 2013) REQUIRES CURRICULUM MATERIALS THAT INTEGRATE THE NGSS THREE DIMENSIONS OF LEARNING: CORE SCIENCE IDEAS, CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS, AND SCIENCE PRACTICES. PROJECT 2061 COLLABORATES WITH RESEARCHERS AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS TO DEVELOP AND TEST MODEL CURRICULUM UNITS THAT SHOWCASE THE NGSS VISION, ARE FEASIBLE TO IMPLEMENT IN PUBLIC SCHOOL CLASSROOMS, AND SHOW PROMISE IN PROMOTING SCIENCE LEARNING OF DIVERSE STUDENTS. TEACHER DEVELOPMENT. IMPROVING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS REQUIRES WELL-PREPARED TEACHERS WHO HAVE A SOLID GROUNDING IN THE CONTENT THEY TEACH AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW DIVERSE STUDENTS CAN BE HELPED TO LEARN. PROJECT 2061'S PUBLICATIONS ARE WIDELY USED IN TEACHER EDUCATION COURSES, AND ITS RESEARCH STUDIES CONTINUE TO SHED LIGHT ON HOW TEXTBOOKS, TEACHING PRACTICES, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BEST BE COORDINATED TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING. PROJECT 2061 OFFERS SEVERAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS EACH YEAR TO HELP EDUCATORS UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT 2061 APPROACH TO SCIENCE ASSESSMENT AND TO USE PROJECT 2061 RESOURCES AND TOOLS TO INFORM THEIR USE OF NGSS. 2) INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES & SCIENCE DIPLOMACY AS SCIENCE BECOMES INCREASINGLY GLOBAL IN CHARACTER, SCIENTISTS ARE MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO REACH ACROSS NATIONAL BORDERS IN THEIR SEARCH FOR COLLABORATORS. AT THE SAME TIME, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MUST PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ILLS THAT AFFECT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. THE GROWING AWARENESS THAT INDIVIDUAL NATIONS CANNOT ALONE TAKE ON CHALLENGES TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH HAS LED AAAS TO WORK WITH NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND COUNTERPART NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS INTERNATIONALLY. A RESPONSE TO THESE NEEDS REQUIRES THE CREATION OF A SOLID SCIENTIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, AS WELL AS THE PROLIFERATION OF A CULTURE OF SCIENCE WORLDWIDE -AMONG RESIDENTS OF EVERY COUNTRY AND THEIR LEADERS. AAAS'S INTERNATIONAL OFFICE DEVELOPS PARTNERSHIPS AND MAINTAINS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AAAS AND LEADING SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE, INCLUDING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTORS. THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SEVERAL PROGRAMS DEDICATED TO STRENGTHENING THE FOUNDATION FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORLDWIDE, AAAS'S INTERNATIONAL GOALS ARE TO ENHANCE INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE COOPERATION; BUILD SCIENTIFIC CAPACITY AND DEVELOPING HUMAN RESOURCES IN SUPPORT OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES; PROMOTE SCIENCE DIPLOMACY; AND DEVELOP A MORE COHERENT AND COMPATIBLE GLOBAL SCIENCE ENTERPRISE. THE AAAS CENTER FOR SCIENCE DIPLOMACY IS GUIDED BY THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF USING SCIENCE TO BUILD BRIDGES BETWEEN COUNTRIES AND TO PROMOTE SCIENTIFIC COOPERATION AS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF FOREIGN POLICY BY RAISING THE PROFILE OF SCIENCE DIPLOMACY, CREATING A FORUM FOR THOUGHT AND ANALYSIS, AND INITIATING BILATERAL ACTIVITIES. IN 2013, THE CENTER LAUNCHED SCIENCE & DIPLOMACY -A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION DEVOTED TO ISSUES AT THE NEXUS OF SCIENCE AND DIPLOMACY- TO BRING EXPERT PERSPECTIVES IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TO POLICY ANALYSTS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, SCIENTISTS, AND EDUCATORS. OTHER 2013 PROJECTS RANGED FROM AN UNPRECEDENTED SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE U.S., UK AND NORTH KOREA FOR COOPERATIVE SEISMOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND ROCK SAMPLING ON NORTH KOREA'S MOUNT PAEKTU, TO HELPING CONVENE EXPERTS FROM THE DEVELOPING WORLD TO WORK TOGETHER ON RESOURCE ISSUES REQUIRING SCIENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS. 3)CENTER FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SECURITY POLICY (CSTSP) THE CENTER WORKS TO STRENGTHEN DIALOGUE AND INTERACTION BETWEEN THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL (S&T) COMMUNITY AND THE SECURITY POLICYMAKING COMMUNITY. RECOGNIZING THE GLOBAL NATURE OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ENTERPRISE, CSTSP SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND AND PROMOTE THE VALUE OF INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ENGAGEMENT IN BUILDING SECURITY, WHILE RECOGNIZING AND WORKING TO MITIGATE TENSIONS THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC AND SECURITY OBJECTIVES. ADVANCES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HAVE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS, BOTH BENEFICIAL AND ADVERSE, ON NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY. SECURITY POLICIES SIMILARLY AFFECT THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ENTERPRISE. CSTSP WORKS WITH THOSE IN THE SECURITY AND THE S&T COMMUNITIES TO BRING ABOUT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER'S OBJECTIVES, REQUIREMENTS, MOTIVATIONS, CONTRIBUTIONS, AND MODES OF OPERATION. IT WORKS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC AND SECURITY COMMUNITIES BROADLY TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL COMMON ISSUES, CREATE VENUES FOR EFFECTIVE DIALOGUE, DEVELOP MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL SOLUTIONS, CRYSTALLIZE POLICY TRADEOFFS, AND COMMUNICATE THE RESULTING INSIGHTS. 2013 HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED A DISCUSSION WITH THREE CHEMICAL WEAPONS EXPERTS ON SYRIA'S ACCESSION TO THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION, THE CHALLENGES INVOLVED IN DESTROYING SYRIA'S CHEMICAL WEAPONS, AND THE GEOPOLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS OF THE PROGRESS MADE ON THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS ONE OF 10 SUCH PUBLIC PROGRAMS ORGANIZED BY CSTSP IN ADDITION TO 12 ADDITIONAL NON-PUBLIC EVENTS FOCUSED ON A BROAD SET OF BIOLOGICAL SECURITY ISSUES. 4) PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE INTEGRAL TO EVERY ASPECT OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE GENERALLY FAVORABLE PUBLIC ATTITUDES ABOUT SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND THEIR BENEFITS, HOWEVER, TENSIONS CONTINUE TO EMERGE AT THE INTERSECTION OF CORE HUMAN VALUES AND CERTAIN SCIENTIFIC FIELDS-FROM HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL AND GLOBAL CLIMATE-CHANGE RESEARCH, TO THE TEACHING OF EVOLUTION. INCREASINGLY, THIS TENSION HAS INTERFERED WITH SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS, THE QUALITY OF SCIENCE EDUCATION, AND THE BROADER ABILITY OF THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE TO FULLY SERVE THE NEEDS OF SOCIETY. AAAS BUILDS UPON AND MOVES BEYOND TRADITIONAL PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING EFFORTS, TOWARD MORE COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC-DIALOGUE OPPORTUNITIES. AAAS HAS HAD LONG-STANDING SUCCESS IN BRINGING SCIENCE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH WORK WITH SCHOOLS, SCIENCE JOURNALISTS, AND SCIENCE MUSEUMS AND CENTERS; THROUGH RADIO, TELEVISION AND INTERNET BROADCASTING; AND THROUGH NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS TRANSLATING SCIENCE INTO MORE UNDERSTANDABLE TERMS. THROUGH ITS CENTER FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AAAS IS PROVIDING A VENUE FOR MULTI-DIRECTIONAL DIALOGUE ON MANY OF THE TOPICS THAT HAVE RECENTLY CAPTURED NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION, SUCH AS STEM CELL RESEARCH AND CLONING; EVOLUTION AND SCIENCE EDUCATION; SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND NATIONAL SECURITY; BIOTERRORISM; ENERGY POLICY; SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT; THE ENVIRONMENT; CLIMATE CHANGE; GENETIC MEDICINE; EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES; GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS; SPACE EXPLORATION; AND NANOTECHNOLOGY. THE CENTER HAS LAUNCHED A SERIES OF ONGOING ACTIVITIES INTENDED TO BOOST PUBLIC AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF SCIENCE AND THE WORK OF SCIENTISTS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME INCREASING PUBLIC INPUT INTO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND POLICY AGENDAS BY CREATING A VEHICLE FOR REAL DIALOGUE AMONG POLICYMAKERS, THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. TO DATE, ONGOING ACTIVITIES HAVE INCLUDED SUCH EFFORTS AS TOWN HALL MEETINGS ON ISSUES SUCH AS OCEANS, EVOLUTION, AND CLIMATE CHANGE; TREE "FAMILY SCIENCE DAYS," PLANNED IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES, SCIENCE CENTERS AND OTHERS, DURING THE AAAS ANNUAL MEETING;
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 AAAS ENROLLS AS MEMBERS OVER 112,000 SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, SCIENCE EDUCATORS, POLICYMAKERS AND OTHER INTERESTED IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE UNITED STATES AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

AAAS MEMBERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUGGEST NOMINEES (INCLUDING THEMSELVES) FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B AAAS' FORM 990 IS DEVELOPED BY STAFF IN THE FINANCE OFFICE IN CONSULTATION WITH OUTSIDE TAX ADVISORS REGARDING SPECIFIC QUESTIONS OR ISSUES. MANY OF THE SUPPORTING SCHEDULES ARE PREPARED BY A SENIOR ACCOUNTANT; THESE ARE ALL REVIEWED BY THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, WHO OVERSEES THE COMPILATION OF THE FORM 990. THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE REVIEWS THE 990 IN DETAIL WITH THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER; THIS REVIEW MAY INCLUDE THE TAX CONSULTANTS. ONCE THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER HAS SIGNED OFF, THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED WITH CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, WHO EACH RECEIVE A FULL COPY OF THE FORM 990 AND ALL SUPPORTING SCHEDULES. THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE CONDUCTS THIS REVIEW, FOCUSING ON CHANGES IN FORMAT OF THE 990 AND ITEMS OR ISSUES OF PARTICULAR NOTE OR INTEREST TO THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT. STARTING WITH TAX YEAR 2008, THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED IN PERSON WITH THE AAAS AUDIT COMMITTEE, A COMMITTEE CHARTERED BY THE AAAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE COMMITTEE RECEIVES A FULL COPY OF THE 990 INCLUDING ALL SUPPORTING SCHEDULES. THE REVIEW IS CONDUCTED BY AAAS STAFF WITH THE OUTSIDE TAX ADVISORS PRESENT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAIL. THE COMMITTEE REVIEW FOCUSES ON CHANGES FROM THE PRIOR YEAR, NEW DISCLOSURES, AND OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST. COPIES OF THE 990 INCLUDING ALL SUPPORTING SCHEDULES ARE PROVIDED TO THE AAAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
