American Ambulance Association

“AAA has active members, associate members, international members, affiliate members, honorary members, individual members, and state association members. Only active members have voting privileges.”

“Active members vote annually for the Board of Directors in accordance with AAA bylaws.”

“The bylaws can be amended with a 3/4 vote of the Board of Directors or with a simple majority vote of 25 percent of the active membership.”

“A copy of the 990 is first reviewed by the CEO. The draft is then sent to the Audit Committee and full Board for review and approval prior to filing.”

“Each director and officer is required to review a copy of the conflict of interest policy, which requires each person to disclose any relationships, positions or circumstances in which he or she believes could contribute to a conflict. Following full disclosure of a possible conflict of interest, the Board of Directors shall determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists and, if so, the Board shall vote to authorize or reject the transaction or take any other action deemed necessary to address the conflict and protect AAA's best interests.”

“The compensation review process includes an evaluation with the Executive Committee using certain agreed upon performance measures. The initial salary was determined using the ASAE salary benchmark report AND the CEO update salary update for trade associations, of equal size and CEO experience.”

“AAA makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public on the AAA website and upon request.”

“AAA represents ambulance services across the United States that participate in serving more than 75% of the urban U.S. population with emergency and non-emergency care and transportation services.”

“AAA's Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of the audit, including the selection of the independent accountant. The process is consistent with previous years.”
