FOUNDED IN 1883, THE ASSOCIATION TODAY SERVES ITS 24,751 MEMBERS THROUGH PUBLICATIONS, PROGRAMS, AND MEETINGS. IT WORKS TO ADVANCE THE INTERESTS OF THE FIELD WITHIN THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY AND WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA WAS INCORPORATED ON APRIL 5, 1900 BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND FOR "EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND SOCIAL OBJECTS AND PURPOSES, AND MORE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE ACADEMIC AND SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, SPANISH, ITALIAN AND OTHER SO-CALLED MODERN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES." THE CONSTITUTION STATES THAT THE OBJECT OF THE ASSOCIATION SHALL BE TO PROMOTE STUDY, CRITICISM, AND RESEARCH IN THE MORE AND LESS COMMONLY TAUGHT MODERN LANGUAGES AND THEIR LITERATURES AND TO FURTHER THE COMMON INTEREST OF TEACHERS OF THESE SUBJECTS. false false 7362633 11031827 PUBLICATIONS AND LIBRARY SUBSCRIPTIONS: The association serves teachers, students, and researchers through its publication program, which includes PMLA, a widely cited scholarly journal, as well as reference works and book series that meet the pedagogical and professional needs of those who study languages and literature. A cornerstone of the MLA's research publications, the MLA International Bibliography, available online, is a unique reference tool for those doing research in the modern languages and literatures, linguistics, rhetoric and composition, pedagogy, and folklore. More than 1,800 educational institutions subscribe to the bibliography. PMLA is one of the oldest and most respected journals in the field. Between September 2014 and August 2015, 354 essays were submitted by MLA members for possible publication in PMLA. In addition to scholarly articles, each year PMLA publishes the program for the MLA Annual Convention. MLA members receive a subscription to PMLA, and 1,682 libraries purchased a print or electronic subscription to the 2015 volumes. For forty years, the MLA Job Information List (JIL) has facilitated the employment process in the field by listing postsecondary faculty vacancies and making the information available to job seekers whose goal is to teach English or foreign languages and literatures at the postsecondary level. The JIL is published as a digital database of departmental job notices that job seekers can search by field or language, by geographic region, by key words or phrases in job descriptions, and by rank. Access to the JIL database is available free of charge. The MLA compiles and publishes a number of other reference works for humanities teachers, students, and scholars. The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers is widely used by undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities and, increasingly, by high school students. During the 2014-15 fiscal year, the association sold 60,500 copies of the seventh edition of the Handbook, published in 2009, the first edition to offer purchasers a companion Web site, which includes the text of the book and extra features. The Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, which currently comprises 141 volumes, serves teachers by providing guidance about presenting various literary works to students; 3,617 copies of these books were sold in fiscal year 2014-15. In addition, the association sold 1,166 copies of the third edition of the MLA Style Manual. The Texts and Translations series, affordably priced for classroom use, publishes both the original text and the English translation of literary works. The fifty-eight volumes in the series sold a total of 3,478 copies in fiscal year 2014-15. Another MLA series, Research and Scholarship in Composition, contains six volumes and sold a total of 54 copies in fiscal year 2014-15. The Options for Teaching series addresses pedagogical and professional topics of interest to teachers of language and literature. In fiscal year 2014-15, the thirty volumes in the Options for Teaching series sold a total of 1203 copies. We now offer nearly a third of our titles in e-book formats, which are distributed by NetRead. The Literary Research Guide, published online, had subscriptions from 53 libraries and 95 individuals in fiscal year 2014-15. 1550504 133600 1391160 ANNUAL MEETINGS: The principal meeting organized by the association is the MLA Annual Convention. Long a forum for intellectual exchange, this annual gathering brings members together to report on their scholarship, to discuss new information about teaching and other professional issues, and to interview candidates for positions. By providing a forum for scholarly exchange, the convention strengthens work in the field. The 2015 meeting attracted 5,710 registrants. In 1997, the MLA established the Professional Education Assistance Fund to promote the study of modern languages and literatures by providing aid to graduate students to attend the convention; in 2006, it was expanded to provide aid to non-tenure-track faculty members and unemployed members. The fund provided 251 cash awards to qualified students and 68 cash awards to eligible non-tenure-track faculty members and unemployed members to defray their expenses in traveling to and attending the 2015 MLA convention. The MLA also houses the Association of Departments of English (ADE) and the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages (ADFL). The summer seminars sponsored by these organizations bring together administrators of college and university departments of English and foreign languages. The seminars encourage the discussion of common problems and the development of consensus about good practice in writing, literature, and language teaching. At the 2015 ADE and ADFL seminars, 286 participants from 249 departments of English and other modern languages from 195 institutions attended. 1821125 2312626 MEMBERSHIP DUES: Association activities are designed to serve the professional and scholarly needs and interests of members and to provide members with opportunities to serve the field. In fiscal year 2014-15 the MLA had a total of 24,751 members. Of this number 4,799 were student members, 15,752 were regular members, and 4,200 were honorary or life members. MLA members are eligible to receive MLA publications and to submit essays for possible publication in PMLA. These essays are reviewed by specialists in the field who offer helpful criticism for the improvement of the essays. MLA members are eligible to submit essays for possible publication in Profession, published on MLA Commons and as an annual e-book. Authors for publication may receive comments from the members of the Profession Advisory Committee and other specialist reviewers. MLA members are also eligible to propose convention sessions and to participate in the convention program as speakers; they are eligible to run for office, participate in the association's various governance structures, and serve on association committees that oversee publications, the convention, and other activities. In addition, members may participate in the development of association policies and influence practice in the field concerning, for example, interviewing and hiring, institutional arrangements affecting class size and workload, and the evaluation of scholarship. The MLA Web site provides information about the association and its programs. Visitors can join the association or renew their membership, change address and directory information, learn about the upcoming annual convention, submit proposals for convention sessions, register for the convention and make hotel reservations, and review and order MLA publications. The site includes the MLA Newsletter in PDF, lists of forthcoming meetings, professional announcements, and a searchable program for the MLA Annual Convention, as well as a link to MLA Commons, a network that connects MLA members and provides new avenues for scholarly communication and collaboration. (Profession is published on MLA Commons). Association reports, professional guidelines, and MLA policies and procedures are also posted on the site. 1451602 68259 12185864 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false true false true false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 117 0 true 123 true true true true CA false false false true true false false false false X 17 17 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true true true true true false IN NY X ROSEMARY FEAL 6465765000 85 BROAD STREET SUITE 500 NEW YORK NY 100042434 X ROLAND GREENE PRESIDENT (FROM 01/15) 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MARGARET W FERGUSON PRESIDENT (TO 01/15) 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 KWAME ANTHONY APPIAH FIRST VP (FROM 01/15) 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ROLAND GREENE FIRST VP (TO 01/15) 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 DIANA TAYLOR SECOND VP (FROM 02/15) 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 KWAME ANTHONY APPIAH SECOND VP (TO 01/15) 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 SAMER M ALI EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 EMILY APTER EXEC.COUNCIL MEMBER(FROM 1/15) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BARBARA K ALTMANN EXEC.

In 2014-15, I served on the board of the National Humanities Alliance (NHA). Stephen Kidd, the executive director of the NHA, did the direct lobbying for the NHA. As in the past, the NHA board met to discuss the administration, staffing, budget, and support services for the NHA. The NHA board formulated plans for educating NHA members and members of Congress about the importance and value of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)and of scholarship in the humanistic disciplines. Kidd implemented the actions the board recommended. Humanities Advocacy Day is an activity ofthe NHA. On 16 and 17 March, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, the MLA's associate executive director and director of scholarly communication, attended the NHA's 2015 annual meeting and Humanities Advocacy Day in Washington, DC. Over the two-day period, approximately one hundred fourteen advocates participated in a range of activities, which included advocacy training, an NEH grants workshop, a humanities grants overview session, panel presentations, a keynote luncheon, policy briefings, a Capitol Hill reception, and visits to congressional offices. In 2014-15, the MLA was a member of the Coalition for International Education (CIE), an organization made up of more than thirty national higher education associations. The CIE informs policy makers, education and private-sector officials, and the media about national needs in international and foreign language education and focuses on promoting and supporting Title VI and Fulbright-Hays programs. In February 2015, the MLA signed on to the CIE's letter to the Senate Committee on Health,Education, Labor, and Pensions requesting funding for the K-12 Foreign Language Assistance Program, which was omitted from the draft bill for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The MLA also signed on to the CIE' s April 2015 letter to the Senate and House Appropriations Committees and their Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services,Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS) requesting funding for international education and foreign language studies programs funded through the Higher Education Act. And in July 2015, the MLA cosigned the CIE's letter of appreciation to the House Appropriations Committee and its LHHS subcommittee for maintaining 2015 funding for international education and foreign language studies programs in the 2016 House appropriations bill. The letter also urged the House committee to keep the 2015 funding levels in place during negotiations with the Senate. In addition, Dennis Looney,director of the MLA's Office of Programs and of the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages, and I patiicipated in CIE teleconferences concerning the president's 2016 budget proposal for international education programs and funding for other Department of Education programs. The MLA was also affiliated with the Joint National Committee for Languages (JNCL) in 2014-15. The JNCL comprises more than seventy organizations that focus on language studies and research at all levels of instruction and that help plan national language policies. Dennis Looney acted as the MLA's representative to the INCL. He attended the 2015 JNCL Delegate Assembly meeting, at which representatives discussed the importance of government support for language programs in primary, secondary, and postsecondary institutions of education in addition to administrative matters. 4177807 28057 -232879 1000 3971985 3677104 31374 470329 1000 4177807 3275364 32055 370685 1000 3677104 3072253 36651 167460 1000 3275364 2768747 34666 269840 1000 3072253 0.98080 0.01240 0.00680 false false 327279 34722 292557 1422764 512139 910625 0 0 0 1203182 0 OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASE 101263 DEFERRED RENT PAYABLE 311707 412970 X 17153691 -890512 -890512 18044203 11719 11719 18055922 15644948 15644948 11719 11719 15656667 FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART V LINE 4 ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THE ENDOWMENT FUND HAS TWO PRIMARY USES FOR THE MLA: AS A RESERVE FUND THAT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE MLA'S OPERATIONS AND AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR NEW PROJECTS THAT THE COUNCIL DEEMS IMPORTANT BUT THAT THE ANNUAL MLA BUDGET CANNOT SUPPORT.
