The spring meeting normally attracts between 3,000 and 4,000 scientists, which represent the target audience directly benefiting from the scientific offerings of the Society. The two smaller conferences normally attract between 125 and 350 scientists who represent the number of persons benefiting directly from the Society's symposia and workshops.The Society publishes 16 scientific journals that serve as the vehicle for the dissemination of the investigator's research. The Society publishes more than 25,000 pages and receives over 5,500 manuscripts for consideration. Each manuscript has an average of three authors, representing a population of over 17,000 scientists who benefit from the society's publications. In addition, there are over 5,000 subscriptions to the 13 journals self-published by the Society. The majority of the subscribers are libraries providing a large target audience for the journals. Not only faculty, but also students and clinicians refer to the Society's journals providing for a potential target audience in excess of 100,000. 16388741 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 262 0 1 77 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 11 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MD X Patricia Velez 3016347164 6120 Executive Boulevard 575 Rockville MD 208529839 Willis Samson Past President 1.00 X X 2500 0 0 Timothy Musch President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Paul Welling Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Heddwen Brooks Director 1.00 X 17500 0 0 Evangeline Motley Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nisha Charkoudian Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Caplan Director 1.00 X 15000 0 0 Karla Haack Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Halpin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 My Helms Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Beth McCormick Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gina Yosten Director 1.00 X 3750 0 0 Robert Fenton Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Farah Sheikh Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Sturek Director 1.00 X 500 0 0 Kathleen Hering-Smith Advisory Council Representative 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Steen Executive Director 55.00 X 550796 0 32929 Julie K Fortenbery Chief Financial Officer 37.50 X 257472 0 22483 Colette E Bean Chief Publishing Officer 37.50 X 309924 0 51089 Meeghan De Cagna Chief Community and Learning Officer 37.50 X 290879 0 38558 Jennifer T Blenkle Chief Community Officer 37.50 X 180170 0 25086 Jeng-Hung Chian Director of Finance 37.50 X 195480 0 25277 Nicole M Edmund Sr. Director of Membership Growth & Engagement 37.50 X 169816 0 33647 Stacey M Burke Director of Publishing, Open Access Transf, Dig & 37.50 X 173911 0 15131 Sandra V Spandoni Director of Society Governance & Leadership 37.50 X 198558 0 21772 Kathy Lovato Director of Scientific Meetings and Programming 37.50 X 169902 0 14879 2536158 0 280851 26 0 1 0 On Services LLC 6779 Crescent Drive Norcross GA 30071 Audio Visual services for meeting 510324 SMG F&B LLC Aquarium of the Pacific 300 E Ocean Blvd Long Beach CA 90802 Catering for Meeting 472507 Atypon Systems LLC 111 River Street Hoboken NJ 07030 Electronic Publishing Services 306349 KnowledgeWorks Global Ltf 410 Highway 25S Brainerd MN 56401 Journal Production Outsourcing 292951 Dennis Brown 3 Walnut Ave Natick MA 01760 Outsourced Management Fee 170000 6 315601 315601 Publication Income 513120 13656640 13626938 29702 Conference & Meetings 900099 1692041 1692041 Membership Dues 900099 968120 968120 Education Resources 900099 72367 5850 66517 16389168 2039322 2039322 768660 768660 525945 45394 480551 480551 480551 40475848 20071010 20404838 20404838 20404838 Career Services 541900 63511 63511 Other Income 900099 26742 26742 Other UBI 541900 1424 1424 91677 40489817 16292949 161154 23720113 27086 27086 659702 659702 67775 67775 1759383 1276415 468916 14052 7800890 5659472 2079114 62304 727655 511527 209381 6747 809615 564308 243502 1805 741327 559010 176094 6223 170500 170500 29756 5317 24439 47255 47255 308975 308975 1889816 1401662 448858 39296 46025 40901 5124 397366 266373 120843 10150 635638 490813 141661 3164 735956 566862 162854 6240 680757 462024 217562 1171 1479465 1441711 37754 819085 151218 667867 82823 15637 67186 Journal Production 1988651 1928175 60476 Professional Dues 169016 122253 46763 UBI Taxes 47500 47500 Bad debt expense 31389 31389 60606 60606 22214012 16388741 5674119 151152 3797861 7046080 2137244 1585264 197053 23803 1118736 658869 676087 518664 4304060 2029811 2850378 2274249 67465527 72561407 6719252 5608970 420381 203504 3217014 2755710 88599533 93236520 1440878 2052434 6691653 6948649 5358864 4593997 13491395 13595080 X 72924826 77347100 2183312 2294340 75108138 79641440 88599533 93236520 18275805 -13742503 0 X 0 0 0 X 600857 736638 678360 504027 315601 2835483 14304921 14530829 14469134 15791017 16223967 75319868 14905778 15267467 15147494 16295044 16539568 78155351 0 0 0 78155351 1518119 1553733 2172599 2465907 3333927 11044285 1518119 1553733 2172599 2465907 3333927 11044285 39422 80470 110577 68863 61706 361038 1800 980422 539 982761 16465119 17882092 17431209 18829814 19935201 90543435 0.86320 0.88030 0.12200 0.10470 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12, Explanation of Other Income: Miscellaneous receipts - 2020 Amount: $ 1,800. 2021 Amount: $ 492. 2022 Amount: $ 539.

M*4,89,S,1 Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: The mission of the Society is to advance scientific discovery, understand life, and improve health. The purpose of the Society is to expand knowledge related to biological function through scientific and professional publications and electronic media, education, science policy, scientific meetings, program development, and member services. The Society champions the importance of physiology for achieving breakthroughs in health, disease and the understanding of life. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The Society consists of regular, honorary, emeritus, student and trainee, and institutional and corporate members. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a The Governing Body of the American Physiological Society is elected by ballot by the membership. Only dues-paying members in good standing can vote and hold elected office. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b Amendments to Bylaws must first be approved by the Council. Following approval by Council, amendments will be publicized to allow members to discuss the amendment by electronic discussion board for thirty days. Dues paying members then will have an additional two weeks to vote by electronic ballot. The Bylaws may be amended after approval by a majority of the dues-paying members who vote, presuming a quorum is present. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Information for APS' form 990 is compiled by the APS Manager, Financial Systems, Policies and Procedures. The information is used by the Society's tax consultant to prepare a draft of the form, which is reviewed by APS' CFO for accuracy and completeness. The final approved form 990 is submitted to IRS by the tax consultant. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each year all APS Board members, officers, and managers are required to complete a disclosure form in which such covered person discloses his or her relationship or affiliation with any person, firm, or entity which proposes to do business, or who is doing business, with APS, and/or who holds a position of influence with another related organization. By signing the statement, the Board member, officer or manager acknowledges that they have received and reviewed the APS Conflict of Interest Policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a Annually, the American Physiological Society (APS) engages a third party consultant to perform a study of comparable salaries and wages for like organizations in its geographical area. Findings of the study are used to provide guidance to APS' Council (board of directors), who are responsible for approving annual salary and wage scale increases. The Executive Director's salary is approved by a smaller group of the Council (Executive Committee). In addition, the APS periodically engages a third party consultant to review job descriptions for each position to ensure compensation levels are appropriate for the knowledge and skills required to perform the duties of each position. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The governing documents of the American Physiological Society are available to the public via the APS website. The conflict of interest policy and financial statements are not made available to the public.
