V 4The endowment funds are held by a tax-exempt related organization, ABA Fund for Justice and Education FJE. ABA uses the proceeds from the endowment to provide a predictable stream of funding for ABA Programs.
X 2The ABA and the FJE are qualified under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code the IRC as tax-exempt organizations or, in the case of the FJE, as a tax-exempt fund, and are exempt from tax on income related to their tax-exempt purposes under Section 501a of the IRC. The ABA is exempt from income taxes as an association described in Section 501c6 of the IRC. The FJE is exempt under Section 501c3. Management believes there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. While exempt from income tax under IRC Section 501a, the ABA is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the IRC.

Form 990, Part I, Line 4aDivisions include Government and Public Sector Lawyers Judicial Law Practice Law Student Senior Lawyers Solo, Small Firm and General Practice, and Young Lawyers. Forums explore new areas of developing law such as Affordable Housing and Community Development Law, Air and Space Law, Communications Law, Construction Law, Entertainment and Sports Industries Law and Franchising. Sections, Divisions and Forums within the ABA provide members a myriad of opportunities for professional development, leadership development, networking, pro bono contributions, and education within their own particular field of interest and expertise. Sections and Divisions also contribute to policy-making on issues of importance to both lawyers and the public. Sections originate many of the recommendations that become the ABAs policy positions and act as checks and balances on recommendations of other entities. Through the work of these groups, the ABA benefits the public through improvement of both the profession and the legal system
Form 990, Part III, Line 4cMany of these excellent books would not have been published by an outside publisher because their revenue potential is not great enough for a commercial model. However, these publications are of great value to the profession, providing vital information to keep lawyers up to date on developments in the law. Thus, ABA publications serve clients, the public and courts by improving the education and professionalism of the nations lawyers. Because the ABAs mission is to serve the profession, many disciplines and authors are able to publish vital and timely information that would not otherwise be available to the profession.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6Please see response provided to Part VI, Section A, Line 7a.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7aThe ABA House of Delegates House elects the Board of Governors, and the officers which includes the President-elect, the Chair of the House of Delegates, the Secretary and Treasurer. The House is designed to be representative of the legal profession in the United States and is comprised of ABA members in the following representative capacities State Delegates, State and Local Bar Association Delegates, Delegates-at-Large, ABA Section Delegates, ABA Division or Conference Delegates, Delegates from Affiliate Organizations, and Delegates from Territories. For purposes of election to the Board of Governors, the House is grouped into 19 geographical districts. Governors serve staggered three-year terms the House elects approximately one-third of the Board, and the President-Elect at each annual meeting. The Board of Governors consists of one member from each of the 19 geographical districts, 9 section members-at-large, 1 law student member-at-large, 1 judicial member-at-large, 2 young lawyer members-at-large, and 5 Goal III members-at-large. The President, Chair of the House, President-Elect, Immediate Past President, Secretary and Treasurer of the ABA are ex-officio members of the Board of Governors. Every third year, the Treasurer-Elect is included in the Board of Governors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bThe draft form 990 was reviewed by the organizations management. Copies of the final 990 were provided to the Board of Governors and Audit Committee members for review prior to filing with the IRS, sufficiently in advance of the due date to allow Board and Audit Committee members the opportunity to raise questions or concerns they might have.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cEach Board member received the Conflict of Interest COI questionnaire this year. Prior to each Board meeting, staff assigned to the Board of Governors distribute COI forms to Board members and collect the completed COI forms. If a Board member discloses a conflict regarding a matter before the Board, the Board member must disclose the conflict and, if necessary, recuse himself/herself from any matter involving the disclosed conflict, and the recusal is noted in the minutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15aThe President and President-elect are directly responsible to evaluate the compensation of the Executive Director on an annual basis, after consultation with the rest of the Executive Committee. The ABA last contracted with Quatt Associates for a tailored executive compensation study in June 2015 and for advice on metrics in December 2015. The ABA has participated in the Quatt Professional Association Compensation Survey for at least the past five years, which provides compensation data regarding comparable entities. The Survey results are shared with ABA HR and available to the Executive Committee as well. The President and President-elect undertake a contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision after consultation with the rest of the Executive Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15bCompensation of key employees other than the Executive Director is based on comparative analyses conducted by the Associations Human Resources Department. That information is reviewed for the Executive Directors approval and then implemented. Performance determines continued employment as well as any pay increases and possible bonuses.
