(11) Signed on in May 2013 to a letter drafted by The Nursing Community to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies detailing funding requests for FY14. In addition, AACN supported 10 members to participate in the three-day 2013 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.	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.
