DescCase Administration: The AAA administers tens of thousands of arbitrations, mediations and other forms of dispute resolution in a given year. The AAA's administrative role in these processes is to provide a forum where disputes can be resolved, to provide rosters of qualified arbitrators, mediators and other dispute resolution professionals, and to apply our rules that govern the conduct of those proceedings. Our administrative services are also provided with a view to our core values of integrity and service. The AAA's work has resulted in a lessening of the burdens on our courts and government. Program Service Accomplishments:The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") has, for over ninety years pioneered the effective use of arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. The AAA does not decide cases. Rather, it provides a forum for the hearing of disputes, tested rules and procedures that have broad acceptance and a roster of over 8,000 impartial arbitrators and mediators to hear and resolve cases. Recognized for their standing, expertise in their fields, and their dispute resolution skills, ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS are nominated to the Association's National Panel by leaders in their industry profession. Their conduct is guided by codes of ethics, such as the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes, developed jointly by the AAA and the American Bar Association.In 2015, there were over 250,000 cases administered by the AAA, which were resolved through mediation or arbitration and less formal methods of dispute resolution.At year end 2015 the AAA, with 23 domestic offices and 3 international offices located in Bahrain, Mexico and Singapore and 82 cooperative agreements with arbitral institutions, universities and chambers of commerce in 52 nations. The AAA's website www.adr.org had over 910,000 visits in 2015, with nearly 3.2 million pages viewed. Additionally, the administration of election services is a specialized and unique capability of the AAA, and is provided to various organizations, associations and unions. Procedures seek to assure the equity of results and give the participants the security of knowing that their democratic rights have been fully and fairly preserved.Desc

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1the aaa's bylaws provide for a broad delegation of authority to the executive committee of the board, which is comprised of 21 members of the AAA's Board of directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2While the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") has no actual knowledge of any family or business relationship between officers, trustees or key employees, we would anticipate that among the over 90 member Board of Directors, that is composed of a wide range of leaders from various fields, that some relationship may exist. However, the AAA has relied upon the responses of officers, trustees and key employees to annual questionnaires designed to elicit the disclosure of these relationships, and although these are noted as reasonable efforts in the instructions for this form, it is with an abundance of caution that we have responded affirmatively to this question.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6The American Arbitration Association's ("AAA's") governing body is made up of 'members', with no separate or distinct 'classes'. Class is noted in the AAA's bylaws with reference to incoming and outgoing groups of members, and does in no way mean any group of members has different rights than another group. Per the AAA's bylaws: "The Board shall be divided into four substantially equal classes. One fourth of the Board shall be elected at each Annual Meeting of the Voting Members. Each class shall serve for four years. No Director, unless serving as an Officer, shall serve more than three terms without a one-year interruption. Vacancies occurring in any class of elected Directors may be filled through appointment for the unexpired term by the Board or at the next Annual Meeting of the Voting Members."
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Prior to submission to the audit Committee for review, the substantive input for the Form 990 is gathered and reviewed by senior management based upon responsibility for their respective areas of operations. It is compiled and reviewed by the Finance Department with the assistance of the AAA's independent accounting firm. It is then submitted for review to executive management at the officer level (President and CEO, CFO / Treasurer and General Counsel / Corporate Secretary.) Only subsequent to these reviews is the Form 990 forwarded to the audit Committee, and posted to a Board of Director section of the AAA website. Access to this section of the AAA's website is restricted (password protected) such that it is available only to AAA Board of Director members. Once reviewed by the audit Committee, it is signed by the CFO / Treasurer as the appropriate Officer of the AAA, and transmitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by the AAA's independent accounting firm.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cPer the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA's") bylaws: "At each Annual Meeting of the Directors of the Association, each Director shall complete a Conflict of Interest Disclosure statement, the form of which shall be determined by the Board of Directors. The statement shall disclose all interested party transactions involving each board member entered into or continued during the preceding year, as well as interested party transactions currently before the Board for its consideration." A separate annual Conflict of Interest statement is required by the AAA of its Officers and Key Employees. In both instances, the Corporate Secretary, also the AAA's General Counsel, manages the receipt and review of Conflict of Interest submissions and forwards them to the Audit Committee for consideration. The AAA has relied upon the responses of Officers, Directors and Key Employees to annual questionnaires designed to elicit the disclosure of these relationships, and review of these forms is noted as reasonable effort per the instructions for this form.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aTHE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEWS THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMPENSATION, WHICH IS SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, WHOSE OVERSIGHT IS DESIGNED TO INCLUDE A COMMITTEE OF DIRECTORS, A MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE AAA, REVIEWS COMPENSATION DATA PROVIDED BY AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT, AND MINUTES TO THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS ARE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY RECORDED AND MAINTAINED AT THE AAA. 15B: THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REVIEWS OFFICER AND KEY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION (EXCLUDING HER OWN), AND IS THE FINAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY. THE REVIEW INCLUDES A REVIEW OF MEASURED PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS COMPARABLE COMPENSATION RANGES PROVIDED BY AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT FOR POSITIONS WITH SIMILAR RESPONSIBILITIES.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") makes available its Form 990 for public inspection upon request, and it is available on the www.guidestar.org website as well. The AAA does not provide Form 1023 per guidance on the IRS website as the AAA did not file this form after July 15, 1987, nor did it have a copy on that date. To date, governing documents and policies concerning conflict of interest have not been made available to the public.
form 990, part VII, section B, line 1:The American Arbitration Association ("AAA", "the Association") maintains a roster of over 6,000 impartial ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS to hear and resolve cases. To maintain neutrality and integrity of the alternative dispute resolution process, the Association facilitates payment to arbitrators and mediators on most cases on behalf of the parties to AAA administered cases by acting as a conduit for such payments. In other words, the Association delivers party payments to ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS, and issues a 1099-Miscellaneous form to each ARBITRATOR Or MEDIATOR at year end consolidating all party payments made through the AAA in that period. Any related expenses incurred by arbitrators and mediators are the responsibility of the parties, not the Association. ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS are not considered to be Independent Contractors as defined by the IRS for the purposes of the Form 990, as they provide no good or service directly to the Association. The 3,873 Form 1099-Miscellaneous submissions noted on Part V, question 1a include submissions for payments made by parties to impartial arbitrators and mediators through the AAA. The AAA records these funds in a custodial capacity as a liability on the AAA's balance sheet. These funds are not recorded or recognized as income or expense. The AAA ensures that the IRS receives a 1099-Miscellaneous for the ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS' consolidated annual activity. Some arbitrators and mediators are members of the Association's Board of Directors. However, such service is purely voluntary and no member of the board is compensated for their service as a member of the board, including any member of the board that is also an arbitrator or mediator. Of the AAA's total roster of impartial arbitrators and mediators, there were 312 arbitrators and mediators who received compensation in excess of $100,000 in 2015.
form 990, part VIII, line 2a - 2dSince 1926, the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") has faithfully and consistently adhered to these guidelines, and the revenue-producing activities listed in part VIII are all executed in support of the following: The revenue-producing activities listed in part VIII are all executed in support of the following: 2a - Relates to the purpose of "administering procedures for the resolution of disputes." This is done by facilitating parties' use of various systems of arbitration, mediation and democratic elections. 2b - Relates to the purpose of educating the general public and interested parties by way of educational seminars run by the AAA in various communities in full range of such dispute resolution procedures as described in our bylaws. 2c - Relates to the purpose of training and educating the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution in a full range of such dispute resolution procedures as described in our bylaws. 2d - Relates to the sale of educational publications on the subject of conflict management and voluntary dispute resolution to the general public and interested parties. These include books, pamphlets and other educational materials, as well as digitally formatted publications products and arbitration awards that are publicly available online.
