As the world's largest association of neurologists and neuroscience professionals with more than 44,000 members, the AAN offers access to continuing education, practice tools, networking and advocacy opportunities, and more. Our mission is to enhance member career fulfillment and promote brain health for all. A neurologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, care, and treatment of brain, spinal cord, and nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, concussion, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, headache, and migraine. The AAN exists for the benefit of its members, to do the things collectively that would be nearly, if not completely, impossible to do individually. No matter what stage our members are in their careers, or what their roles are within the field of neurology, our commitment to our members' professional lives is evident in what we do throughout the year. 21 16 218 3473 92537 17345 256075 197 42410595 45387616 1355549 1523556 79300 93087 44101519 47004456 0 0 0 0 24478959 27699144 0 0 0 16885702 17244201 41364661 44943345 2736858 2061111 40076976 54428835 15607462 24685745 24469514 29743090 The AAN strives to enhance member career fulfillment and promote brain health for all. 0 0 0 0 0 Membership: The AAN continued to prove its value to neurology in 2025 by maintaining record membership recruitment and retention.

Several of these important publications saw enhancements or achievements in 2025. The AAN's flagship Neurology(R) journal launched Neurology(R) Open Access, a free online peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles, scholarly reviews, case reports, and study protocols in all areas of neurology and the clinical neurosciences. Neurology(R) also launched the Open Reports feature, which fosters transparency and education about the review process. Finally, Neurology Today(R), the AAN's news source for neurologists and neuroscience professionals, received Apex awards of excellence in two areas. 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 187 0 1 218 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 21 16 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 MN X Kevin C Myren CPA 6129286023 201 Chicago Avenue Minneapolis MN 55415 Mary E Post Chief Executive Officer 51 4.00 X 711988 0 66829 Jason Kopinski Chief Strategy and Programs Officer 24 23 X 428056 0 66729 Angela Babb Chief Operations Officer 47 6 X 373425 0 61748 John Hutchins General Counsel/ Chief Legal Officer 48 2 X 357771 0 63625 Kevin C Myren Chief Financial Officer 27 21 X 348010 0 40194 Deanna Ekholm Chief People, Diversity & Administrative Officer 47 0 X 343492 0 30793 Patricia Baskin Deputy Chief, Publications 50 1 X 203416 0 29296 Shawn Fredrickson Deputy Chief, Technology 44 1 X 204165 0 20873 Amanda Becker Deputy Chief, Practice 20 22 X 202541 0 19753 Christine Kokaisel Deputy Chief, Membership 49 0 X 191671 0 24708 Matthew Kerschner Director, Regulatory Affairs and Policy 45 0 X 194152 0 19829 Lyell K Jones Jr MD FAAN President Elect 5 5 X X 155910 0 0 Natalia S Rost MD MPH FAHA FAA President 10 10 X X 147500 0 0 Carlayne E Jackson MD FAAN Immediate Past President 2 2 X 47500 0 0 Jose H Posas MD FAAN Director 1 1 X 600 2450 0 Maisha T Robinson MD MSHPM FAAN Director (ex officio) 1 0 X 2000 830 0 Nimish A Mohile MD FAAN Director (ex officio) 1 0 X 0 1150 0 Charles C Flippen II MD FAAN Vice President 1 1 X X 0 1000 0 David A Evans MBA DAAN Chair Brain Health Committee/ex officio 1 0 X 200 650 0 Gregory E Cooper MD PhD MBA FA Director 1 1 X 0 800 0 Larry B Goldstein MD FAHA FAAN Director 1 1 X 0 500 0 Bruce H Cohen MD FAAN Director (ex officio) 1 1 X 0 500 0 Shannon M Kilgore MD FAAN Secretary 0 0 X X 0 0 0 Lily Jung Henson MD MMM FAAN Treasurer 1 1 X 0 0 0 Wayne E Anderson DO FAHS FAAN Director 1 1 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Bickel MDFAAN Director 1 1 X 0 0 0 Gregory J Esper MD MBA FAAN Director 1 1 X 0 0 0 Sarah Jane Hon DO MBA FAAN Director 1 1 X 0 0 0 Michael E Markowski DO FAAN Director 1 1 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey C McClean II MD FAAN Director 1 1 X 0 0 0 Jose G Merino MD Mphil FAHA FAA Director (ex officio) 1 1 X 0 0 0 Melissa Yu MD FAAN Director (ex officio) 1 1 X 0 0 0 3912397 7880 444377 87 0 1 0 American Academy of Neurology Institute 201 Chicago Avenue Minneapolis MN 55415 Access facilities/Equipment 1584702 Emergent Software LLC 400 S 4th St Minneapolis MN 55415 Technology consulting in AI, data, software, cloud, and cybersecurity 289945 Grand Hyatt Washington 1000 H Street NW Washington DC 20001 Hospitality Services 285001 Solutia Consulting Inc 1241 Amundson Cr Stillwater MN 55082 IT Services 269441 Founders Series of Lockton Companie 5500 Wayzata Blvd Minneapolis MN 55416 Insurance Broker 211819 28 197 197 Publishing 513110 20384042 20291505 92537 0 Membership Dues 900099 10468169 10468169 0 0 Salaries and Benefits 561000 9664452 9664452 0 0 Reimbursement of Admin Expenses 561000 4711379 4711379 0 0 Conferences 561900 140576 140576 0 0 18998 18998 0 0 45387616 1524262 0 0 1524262 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 201861 0 202567 0 -706 0 -706 -706 0 0 93087 93087 0 0 93087 47004456 45387460 92537 1524262 0 0 0 0 2909171 19007396 1834473 2457878 1490226 0 62175 0 48000 0 48766 2272529 760404 590029 2847310 0 1641004 1406908 1226246 49124 189449 Subscriptions, memberships, contributions 4827367 Honoraria and Stipends 1222604 Income Tax 9258 All other expenses 43028 44943345 0 0 0 5837183 295608 26208815 17292997 0 0 1902493 3090847 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 681879 1068951 2662065 1487089 1286726 1174976 4159880 31505456 40076976 54428835 5267108 5926766 0 0 8320536 16675789 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2019818 2083190 15607462 24685745 X 24093776 29455155 375738 287935 24469514 29743090 40076976 54428835 2061111 3212465 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 BrainPAC 201 Chicago Avenue Minneapolis MN 55415 270644272 0 172184 0 0 0 10468169 1251049 0 1251049 1046817 204232 0 Schedule C, Part I-A, Line 1 The organization provided in-kind administrative services to its FEC registered SSF, BrainPAC 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2662065 1487089 1174976 0 0 0 0 1174976 0 Lease Payable ST 131546 Lease Payable Long Term 920335 Deferred Compensation 1031309 2083190 X Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization follows the provisions of FABS ASC 740-10-25, which requires that the tax position be reviewed and examination by Federal authorities.
