ADDITIONALLY, THE ADMINISTRATION OF ELECTION SERVICES IS A SPECIALIZED AND UNIQUE CAPABILITY OF THE AAA, AND IS PROVIDED TO VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS, ASSOCIATIONS AND UNIONS.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | PRIOR TO SUBMISSION TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, THE SUBSTANTIVE INPUT FOR THE FORM 990 IS COMPILED AND REVIEWED BY THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE AAA'S INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | EACH YEAR, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE AAA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND RECOMMENDING THE COMPENSATION OF THE AAA'S PRESIDENT AND CEO. THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS THEN REVIEWS AND DETERMINES THE PRESIDENT AND CEO'S COMPENSATION. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS WHO DID NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IN CONDUCTING THEIR REVIEW AND MAKING THEIR DETERMINATION, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RELY UPON MARKET COMPARABILITY DATA FOR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS IN FUNCTIONALLY COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDED BY AN INDEPENDENT NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM WITH EXPERTISE ADVISING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM ALSO ISSUED AN OPINION LETTER CERTIFYING TO THE REASONABLENESS OF THE PRESIDENT AND CEO'S TOTAL COMPENSATION UNDER SECTION 4958 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

TO MAINTAIN NEUTRALITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, THE ASSOCIATION FACILITATES PAYMENT TO ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS ON MOST CASES ON BEHALF OF THE PARTIES TO AAA ADMINISTERED CASES BY ACTING AS A CONDUIT FOR SUCH PAYMENTS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ASSOCIATION DELIVERS PARTY PAYMENTS TO ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS, AND ISSUES A 1099-NEC FORM TO EACH ARBITRATOR AND MEDIATOR AT YEAR END CONSOLIDATING ALL PARTY PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH THE AAA IN THAT PERIOD. ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO BE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AS DEFINED BY THE IRS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE FORM 990, AS THEY PROVIDE NO GOOD OR SERVICE DIRECTLY TO THE ASSOCIATION. THE 3,967 FORM 1099-NEC SUBMISSIONS NOTED ON PART V, QUESTION 1A INCLUDE ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENTS MADE BY PARTIES TO IMPARTIAL ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS THROUGH THE AAA. THE AAA RECORDS THESE FUNDS IN A CUSTODIAL CAPACITY AS A LIABILITY ON THE AAA'S BALANCE SHEET. THESE FUNDS ARE NOT RECORDED OR RECOGNIZED AS INCOME OR EXPENSE.
