Houses of Congress and federal agencies contacted include the House, Senate and Department of Health & Human Services. Specific issues in which AACN engaged in lobbying activities that consisted of Capitol Hill visits, sending letters to members of Congress and federal agencies include: (1) Signed on in July 2013 to letters drafted by The Nursing Community thanking Representatives Greg Walden (R-OR) and Allyson Schwartz (D-PA) for introducing the Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act of 2013 in the House, as well as to Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Charles Schumer (D-NY) for introducing the proposed legislation in the Senate. (2) Signed on in September 2013 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community to the Senate Appropriations Committee expressing appreciation for support of nursing education, research and practice in the FY13 appropriations bill. (3) Signed on in November 2013 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community to the Budget Conference Committee requesting that federal investments in nursing education and research programs be protected from further cuts in FY 2014 and into the future. (4) Signed on in February 2014 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community urging Representatives not to sign a Dear Colleague letter circulated by Representatives Michael Grimm (R-NY) and Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ). The letter opposes modifications to the Veterans Health Administration's Nursing Handbook that would allow advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to serve as full practice providers. (5) Signed on in February 2014 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community thanking RADM Kerry Paige Nesseler for steadfast dedication to improving America's health during her tenure as Chief Nurse Officer (CNO) of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS). (6) Signed on in February 2014 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community welcoming the newly appointed Chief Nurse Officer of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS), Rear Admiral (RADM) Sylvia Trent-Adams. (7) Signed on in March 2014 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community to Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA) expressing support for H.R. 3833, which would eliminate the new provision in the Affordable Care Act [P.L. 111-148] that requires physicians to document the face to face encounters of nurse practitioners (NPs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and physician assistants (PAs) when ordering certain durable medical equipment for their Medicare patients. By removing this requirement so NPs, CNSs, and PAs can continue to document face to face encounters without a physician's signature, this legislation would eliminate an unnecessary, costly, and burdensome barrier facing Medicare patients who need necessary durable medical equipment to insure safe, lifesaving and timely care. (8) Signed on in March 2014 to testimony drafted by The Nursing Community to the U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS-ED) requesting $251 million for the Health Resources and Services Administration's Nursing Workforce Development programs (authorized under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 296 et seq.]), $150 million for the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $20 million in authorized funding for the Nurse-Managed Health Clinics (Title III of the Public Health Service Act).

(9) Signed on in April 2014 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS-ED) requesting $251 million for the Health Resources and Services Administration's Nursing Workforce Development programs (authorized under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 296 et seq.]), $150 million for the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $20 million in authorized funding for the Nurse-Managed Health Clinics (Title III of the Public Health Service Act) in FY2015. (10) Signed on in April 2014 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS-ED) requesting $251 million for the Health Resources and Services Administration's Nursing Workforce Development programs (authorized under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 296 et seq.]), $150 million for the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $20 million in authorized funding for the Nurse-Managed Health Clinics (Title III of the Public Health Service Act) in FY2015. (11) Signed on in May 2014 to testimony drafted by The Nursing Community to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS-ED) reiterating FY 2015 requests to support nursing. (12) Signed on in June 2014 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community to Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs Sloan D. Gibson reiterating unwavering support for the Veterans Administration's work to modernize the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA) Nursing Handbook. The letter also urged Acting Secretary Gibson to advance the approval process of this modification. (13) AACN supported 16 members to participate in the three-day 2014 Nurse in Washington Internship with scholarships for registration and funding for travel and lodging costs. Sponsored annually by the Nursing Organizations Alliance, the internship teaches nurses how to influence health policy at the local and national level and provides the opportunity to acquire skills needed to work with legislators. Participants attended as individuals and visited their own congressional representatives. 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. 2433205 79722 313884 87215 0 0 2739596 2241584 95855 186948 91182 0 0 2433205 2146328 108454 64175 77373 0 0 2241584 1750775 120260 275293 0 0 0 2146328 1485603 100377 164795 0 0 0 1750775 0 1 0 0 0 0 4677233 4677233 0 4845237 1026102 3819135 0 2343585 1413918 929667 0 3465503 2919875 545628 0 2577641 1525166 1052475 11024138 35987928 3690331 0 0 554728 4245059 31742869 0 2133694 2133694 33876563 24903886 0 0 0 554728 554728 24349158 0 2125953 2125953 26475111 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 fund reached its goal during FY2011, and the Board approved a spending policy to begin using the endowment to fund scholarships the following year. 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 $87,215 of scholarships.

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. 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." 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. 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. 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. 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. 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). 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 when a new CEO was hired in February 2014. 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, 2014. 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. The audited financial statements are posted on the AACN website and are available to the public upon request.
