        <Explanation>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 continues to award some limited scholarships for specific academic courses as well. 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 therir professional learning goals. In the current year, the association, having achieved the desired goal of $2 million, implemented a spending policy which resulted in providing $77,373 for these scholarships.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>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 2011. 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, 2012.</Explanation>
