AATB seeks to accomplish its mission by establishing and promulgating standards, administering accreditation and certification programs, interacting with regulatory agencies and legislative officials, and fostering education and research. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1a The Executive Committee of the Board of Governors consists of the Chair, the Chair-Elect, the Immediate Past Chair, the Secretary-Treasurer, and the Association's CEO, who shall be a non-voting, ex officio member of the Committee. In the intervals between meetings of the Board of Governors, the Executive Committee has all of the powers of the Board in the supervision and direction of the business and affairs of the Association other than the power to remove a Governor or Officer, or to amend the Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The Organization has three classes of membership: (1) Individuals who are involved or interested in the banking of tissues for transplantation, or the donation and use of non-transplant anatomical material for education and research, and who support the objectives, policies and standards of the Association ("Individual Member"); (2) Individuals who are employees of AATB-accredited entities that engage in a tissue banking program for the donation or use of donated tissue for transplantation, or non-transplant anatomical material for education and research, including one or more of the following activities - donor screening or acceptability; donor testing; recovery, collection or acquisition; processing or preparation; storage and/or distribution - in accordance with the objectives, rules, policies, standards and codes, including without limitation the ethical standards and codes, of the Association, and that have been accredited by AATB. Such members shall be considered "Individual Members" with the same privileges and obligations as any other Individual Member. (3) Individual Members who are retired; have reached the age of sixty-five (65) years, and whose years of membership in AATB in good standing, plus their age, equal or exceed the number seventy-five (75); and have requested the Membership Committee grant Emeritus Membership ("Emeritus Member"). In addition, after five (5) years of membership in good standing, Individual Members who are disabled, to the extent that they are unable to engage in gainful employment, may request Emeritus Member status; and (4) Individuals and entities, including vendors, exhibitors, suppliers, distributors, group purchasing organizations and others who support the professional, operational and educational needs of tissue banking programs or non-anatomical donation/use programs, Individual Members, AATB-Accredited Institutions, and the Association ("Affiliate Member"). Such Affiliate Members may not be any entity that is eligible for accreditation by AATB. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Rights of members: (a) individual members in good standing have the right to vote and approve members of the board. (b) institutional members in good standing have the right: 1) to receive publications; 2) to assign a representative to vote at meetings of the Accredited Tissue Bank Council (ATB Council). (c) emeritus members have the right: 1) to attend and participate in AATB meetings and 2) such other rights as may from time to time be granted by the Board of Governors. (d) individual or institutional members who are not in good standing are not entitled to exercise any of the rights or benefits of membership. (e) members, unless expressly authorized to do so, do not have the right to speak on behalf of AATB. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b The Organization's by-laws must be approved by the individual members. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Federal Form 990 was prepared for AATB at the time of the annual audit by the independent accounting firm hired to perform the audit. Once completed, the draft Federal Form 990 is submitted to and reviewed by the President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and to outsourced accounting for accuracy. Once reviewed, the draft Federal Form 990 is submitted to the Finance Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors conducts its review, which is recorded in the minutes of the board's meeting. Thereafter, the final federal form 990 is approved by the President & CEO on behalf of AATB and sent to the full board and then electronically filed with the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c AATB representatives are to fully disclose financial and non-financial relationships, including their employment, ownership interests, memberships, arrangements, investments and holdings, including those held by family members, as required on the AATB Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (COI). Conflict of interest reporting is to occur before appointment or election and annually thereafter. A representative is expected to update his or her COI questionnaire also whenever any material change occurs in his or her relationships. AATB representatives are to disclose any direct or indirect interests in a transaction or decision that potentially could be a conflict of interest for the association. Reporting these personal and other business relationships generally does not prevent an individual from working with AATB. AATB will evaluate non-financial and financial relationships for actual or perceived conflicts based on the nature of representative's position(s) and scope of decision-making authority, the substantiality of the relationships, the pervasiveness of the conflict, and whether additional measures are needed to protect the integrity and reputation of the AATB representative and the AATB. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The Board of Governors Compensation Committee determines the compensation for the President & CEO based on an independent analysis that reviews relevant salary surveys and comparable positions. The salary decisions of the Compensation Committee are documented in the employee's permanent file. The analysis for the President & CEO is done periodically by the Compensation Committee, while the analysis for the compensation for all other employees was last performed in April 2023 and subsequently when new positions have been created.. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 All governing documents of AATB are generally available for public inspection upon request. In addition, certain governing documents are available on AATB's website. Form 990, Part IX, line 11g Contractors, consultants, and other professional fees: Program service expenses 976,683.
