AACN members and chapters at times may, of their own accord, seek input from AACN staff about specific federal, state or local legislation. AACN staff direct them to contact the appropriate governmental entity for information about the legislation. AACN does not support or oppose any candidate for elective office, nor does it participate in any political campaign on behalf of any client for elective office. AACN members are advised to participate in political campaign activity as individuals on their own time and not as representatives of AACN or its local chapters.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SchD_P05_S00_L04 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The AACN Scholarship Endowment was established in 2001 with a goal of the endowment to reach a maturity level of $2 million and become a self-sustaining funding source. The scholarship program will then be funded by the investment income from the fund rather than the use of AACN's general operating fund. The AACN scholarship program is designed to help members enrich their careers and acquire knowledge and skills beyond traditional academic nursing education. The scholarship program also continues to award some limited scholarships for specific academic courses. Scholarship applicants must assess gaps in their knowledge and skills, identify and evaluate learning opportunities, and develop a plan to show how an AACN scholarship will help them achieve their professional learning goals. In the current year, the endowment funded $91,182 of scholarships.

SchJ_P01_S00_L01a Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a The CEO contract allows for her to bring her husband to our national conference, the National Teaching Institute (NTI), held annually in May. This is the only trip where she is reimbursed for companion travel. This amount is included in her taxable compensation. The volunteer President and President-elect receive a clothing allowance to defray the personal cost for speaking engagements on behalf of the Association. The allowance is for purchases up to $4,000 and is grossed up 50% to ensure the volunteer is not impacted financially by the clothing compensation. The amount paid to the President and President-elect triggers their receipt of a 1099 for the full amount paid in the calendar year.
SchJ_P01_S00_L03 Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 The process of reviewing and setting CEO compensation is the responsibility of the AACN CEO Compensation and Evaluation Committee. This committee is comprised of the President and President-elect, with the Immediate Past President serving as an ad-hoc member (note that all of these are volunteer, non-compensated positions). The current Treasurer and Secretary of the Board join and serve on the committee whenever decisions related to CEO compensation are required (these too are volunteer, non-compensated positions). The Committee performs an annual performance evaluation and a review of comparable compensation data. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) provides consultation to the committee related to CEO compensation benchmarking surveys. The last CEO compensation review and adjustment occurred in September 2012. The CEO is accountable for compensation levels for all other positions. Each team member receives an annual review and compensation adjustment at the beginning of the calendar year. Salary adjustments are aligned with the annual budget and are allocated based on benchmark salary data and the performance evaluation of each team member. The last salary adjustment occurred in January, 2013.

F990_P06_S0A_L06 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) is a membership organization with over 100,000 members throughout the country. The AACN bylaws state that "any person who is interested in any aspect of critical-care nursing and who subscribes to the mission of AACN, agrees to abide by its charter and Bylaws, and meets such other criteria for membership as may be established by these Bylaws or by the Board of Directors, shall be eligible for membership."
F990_P06_S0A_L07a Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a Nominations to the AACN Board of Directors are accepted from the full membership. Nominated candidates are vetted by the AACN Nominating Committee (comprised of appointed and elected members) who determines the slate of candidates for the ballot. The ballot is presented to the full membership for an online election. We must have a minimum 5% of the eligible voters cast a ballot for the election to close. There is no approval by the Board as the AACN directors are elected by the membership. The number of open positions varies each year as the 3-year terms are staggered to ensure continuity on the Board.
F990_P06_S0A_L07b Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b The Bylaws of the Association may be amended by a majority of the Active, International, Emeritus and Lifetime members. In addition, the Association may merge with other national, state, or local organizations only upon a majority approval by the total eligible voting membership.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The completed form 990 and related schedules were disseminated to the Audit Committee for review in advance of a conference call for the purpose to review and approve the return. All Audit Committee members, along with the Chief Financial Officer, were on the conference call and all questions or concerns raised by the committee members were resolved to ensure unanimous approval of the return. The Audit Committee then reports any findings to the full Board of Directors.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The Conflict of Interest Policy is reviewed annually at the Fall Board meeting as this is the orientation meeting for newly elected Directors. Each Director is required annually to complete a Conflicts of Interest Statement that lists any potential conflicts. In addition, all employees agree to Conflict of Interest and Work Ethics statements contained in the Employee Handbook.
F990_P06_S0B_L15 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The process of reviewing and setting CEO compensation is the responsibility of the AACN CEO Compensation and Evaluation Committee. This committee is comprised of the President and President-elect, with the Immediate Past President serving as an ad-hoc member (note that all of these are volunteer, non-compensated positions). The current Treasurer and Secretary of the Board join and serve on the committee whenever decisions related to CEO compensation are required (these too are volunteer, non-compensated positions).

F990_P06_S0C_L19 Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 AACN does not make governing documents or conflict of interest policies available to the public. The financial statements of the organization are published to the membership within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year. The financial report is included in the Association newsletter, AACN Bold Voices, which is available to the public digitally on the AACN website.
