Since 1948, we have proudly represented
the neurological community and supported their
services to patients with disorders of the brain
and central nervous system.

MiSSion StateMent
The American Academy of Neurology is a medical
specialty society established to advance the art and
science of neurology, and thereby promote the
best possible care for patients with neurological
disorders by:
• Ensuring appropriate access to neurological care.
• Supporting and advocating for an environment which
ensures ethical, high-quality neurological care.
• Providing excellence in professional education by
offering a variety of programs in both the clinical
aspects of neurology and the basic neurosciences
to physicians and allied health professionals.
• Supporting clinical and basic research in the
neurosciences and related fields.

since 1948
Many years ago, I was a young neurologist who was fortunate to be the right-
hand man for Dr. Adolph Sahs at the University of Iowa. At the time, he was
working with A.B. Baker, Russell DeJong, Frank Forster, and Joe Brown on a new
organization for neurologists, and Dr. Sahs asked me to help out. I was honored to
help fulfill the vision of this august group, and I signed up as the sixth member of
the American Academy of Neurology. We had our first organizational meeting in
Chicago during the American Medical Association’s annual meeting, and it was a
very exciting time. We knew our profession needed to come together, we knew there
was strength in numbers. Our first Annual Meeting was the next year, 1949, in
French Lick Springs, Indiana, and I’ve been to nearly every Annual Meeting since.
And boy, how those membership numbers have grown!
I can’t begin to describe how the Academy has changed over the years, but I
can tell you one thing that hasn’t changed and I trust will never change: the AAN
has always been improving and responding to the needs of its members. Whether
you are a practicing neurologist, a researcher, or professor of neurology, you know
that to be a member of the AAN is to associate yourself with the best and the
brightest in our profession.

AmeRicAn AcAdemy oF neuRology
In 2006, our neurology universe expanded beyond 20,000 members for the first
time. To be exact, your American Academy of Neurology represented you and
20,232 other neurology professionals at year-end. We are pleased that you believe
our efforts on your behalf bring real value to your AAN membership and enhance
your work as clinicians, scientists, and academicians.
This value is further reflected in significant successes in every area of the AAN. Our
Annual Meeting in San Diego broke all previous attendance records. The science
and education programs were updated with new offerings that were well received
because they responded to the evolving needs of our members.
On the medical economics and advocacy fronts, we pressed hard for fair reimbursement
for our practicing neurologists and were rewarded with significant increases
on E/M codes. Our vendor report on electronic health records and work on payfor-performance
and quality initiatives helped members prepare for major changes
coming in the health care landscape. We supported neurologists at the bedside
with several new practice guidelines, including four on Parkinson’s disease.
Journeying through our universe requires strong leaders and skilled navigators. To
ensure we continue to have the best guidance necessary to meet the challenges of
tomorrow, we initiated a leadership program with key AAN staff members. A group
of promising Academy members will be selected for a leadership training forum
in early 2007. And we welcome new ideas and initiatives from Stephen M. Sergay,
MB BCh, FAAN, who becomes president in May 2007.
The universe is not static, nor is the American Academy of Neurology. As we
continue to grow, our best days are ahead, and we will continue to be home for a
multitude of neurology stars.

AAn FoundATion
Within the neurology universe, the mission of the AAN Foundation is to support
research for the prevention, treatment, and cure of neurological disorders. In short,
we are the conduit through which you invest in the future stars of neurological
research.
Since 1993, the Foundation has raised more than $7.6 million to support 66 young,
promising clinical researchers. Our funding comes from:
• Individual donations from AAN members and the public
• Donations raised for the Fund for Brain Research through giving programs such as
the Giants of Neurology, which recognizes individuals who have made significant
contributions to the field of neurology and creates research funds in their names
• The Foundation’s Gala and Auctions at the Annual Meeting, where 100 percent
of the proceeds support our clinical research training fellowships
• Donations included with membership dues
• Corporate partnerships
Our goal is to be the largest funder of neurological research outside of the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. We are working toward the goal of
securing funds to support the activities of 30 researchers each year.
We will continue to work in partnership with other organizations such as the ALS
Association, the American Heart and Stroke Associations, the National MS Society,
Canavan Foundation, and the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation to establish and
provide clinician scientist development awards.
We hope all members of the AAN family will support these initiatives with their
creative energy, professional wisdom, and generous checkbook!

A central mission of the AAN is to advocate for sound public
policies that positively affect neurologists and their patients. Through
the Donald M. Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum and the Neurology
on the Hill event in Washington, DC, we are empowered to become
advocates. The Palatucci Forum has been described as ‘boot camp’ and
Neurology on the Hill as the ‘battleground.’ The Forum gave me the
skills needed to communicate effectively with legislators and media. On
Capitol Hill, I practiced these skills live.
I’ve come to understand that we are advocates on a daily basis,
whether we realize it or not. But as the old adage goes, ‘there is strength
in numbers,’ and the AAN provides these events to combine our voices
and be heard. My advocacy buddies and the staff at the AAN are my
resource, my encouragement, my counseling couch, and my secret
weapon when I set out to battle!

• PASSAGE OF CRuCIAL VETERANS’ CARE LEGISLATION. The AAN,
the Parkinson’s Action Network, and the National MS Society
successfully teamed to urge Congress to authorize permanently six
Parkinson’s disease (PADRECCs) and two MS Centers of Excellence at
the uS Department of Veterans’ Affairs Health Administration. Through
these centers, neurologists can provide top quality health care for the
military population and perform leading research. This clinical and
basic science research not only benefits veterans, but the entire
nation as well.
• NEW ADVOCACy INITIATIVES ON AED COVERAGE, MANDATORy
REPORTING, NEuROIMAGING. A new position statement on coverage
of anti-epileptic drugs for epilepsy patients enabled the AAN to weigh
in on proposed legislation and regulation in many states. The Board also
approved the first comprehensive position statement addressing driving
and seizure disorders, and we began developing a comprehensive
advocacy position to promote the role of neurologists in imaging.
• RECORD NuMBER OF NEuROLOGISTS CONTACT CONGRESS. More
than 1,300 AAN members—nearly 10 percent of our uS membership
and a 15-percent increase over 2005—responded to our Congressional
action alerts, making more than 5,000 contacts to Capitol Hill offices.
• RECORD PARTICIPATION By AAN IN STATE NEuROLOGy SOCIETy
MEETINGS. AAN staff exhibited and presented at 18 state neurology
society meetings, a new high mark in the AAN’s outreach to and support
of these important organizations.
• STATE SOCIETy LEADERS’ ROuNDTABLE ESTABLISHED. We launched
the State Society Leaders’ Roundtable to foster communication among
state societies, gather feedback on how we can improve our support
of state societies, and encourage better collaboration in the areas of
practice, advocacy, and education. Leaders from 15 state societies
participated in the first gathering.

The PRAcTice
The Medical Economics and Management Committee (MEM) has
recognized that over the coming years health information technology
will transform the practice of neurology. The adoption of electronic
prescribing and electronic health records (EHR) is inevitable. The MEM
wants to help Academy members apply health information technology
to their practices to make patient care safer, more efficient, and more
productive. In 2006, the EHR Work Group completed an evaluation of
seven EHR vendors who make EHRs that are potentially appropriate for
neurologists in practice. Member interest in this report generated more
than 2,000 downloads from the AAN website. The EHR Work Group
will continue to assess EHR vendors and will evaluate the relationship
between ePrescribing and EHRs. The MEM will continue to sponsor a
variety of courses at regional conferences and the Annual Meeting on the
adoption of health information technology by neurologists.

• MAJOR SuCCESS WITH FIVE-yEAR REVIEW. Hard work paid off in 2006
when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced
large increases in work relative value units for the majority of E/M services.
These increases represent an important step toward rewarding time spent
face-to-face with patients rather than on procedures.
• EHR VENDOR REPORT ISSuED. The AAN Electronic Health Records
Work Group released a 50+ page report in 2006 that evaluates EHR
products that best meet the needs of neurologists in small and solo
practices. The report examines the business benefits, functionality, and
financial viability of various EHR vendor applications as they relate to
neurology practices. using this report, neurologists looking to implement
EHR in their practices will save valuable time in researching and
comparing vendors and their products.
• MEDICAL ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT ACHIEVES FuLL
COMMITTEE STATuS. In October 2006, the MEM Subcommittee was
elevated to committee with three new subcommittees reporting to it:
Coding, Payment Policy, and Practice Management and Technology. The
expansion of the MEM means we will have more resources to dedicate
to ever-important medical economics issues.
• ExPANSION OF BRAINS EDuCATIONAL OPPORTuNITIES. The
Business and Research Administrators in Neurology Society (BRAINS)
introduced programming at the AAN Fall Conference, and doubled
attendance at the BRAINS Colloquium at the Annual Meeting. This
increased participation from practice managers will help our members’
practices run more efficiently.
• PRIVATE PAyER OuTREACH. The AAN drafted a letter regarding new
CPT codes for anticoagulation management therapy services that was
sent to over 60 private payers. The letter was well received and our
efforts will continue in 2007 and beyond, as we seek to cultivate long-term
relationships with private payers through the new Payment Policy
Subcommittee of the MEM.

The American Academy of Neurology’s continuous commitment to
professional development of neurology residents, fellows, and those
medical students interested in neurology is commendable and, certainly,
is greatly appreciated. The AAN leadership, staff, and members are
doing an outstanding job by dedicating their time and effort to promote
a nurturing environment for the neurology trainees and by creating a
multitude of opportunities for their personal and professional growth.
By investing in our young, the AAN creates a whole new generation
of competent practitioners, passionate researchers, and dedicated
leaders of the neurological community.

• HELPING FELLOW NEuROLOGISTS. Seeking to share the
practice, education, and science benefits of the AAN with areas
of the world that most need them, we reached out to neurology
professionals in designated low-income countries and provided
more than 100 memberships through our reduced dues program.
• NEW RELIEF FOR SCHOOL LOAN DEBT. The AAN Partners
Program provided a new benefit to members in 2006 that helps
them consolidate federal student loans and reduce monthly
payments by as much as 60 percent.
• BuILDING BIGGER BRAINS. Membership in our BRAINS
(Business and Research Administrators in Neurology Society)
affiliate increased by 23 percent over 2005 as practice managers
and administrators recognized the value of connecting with their
peers and sharing information on increasing reimbursements and
efficiencies while reducing expenses.
• IMPROVEMENTS FOR NEUROlOGy TODAy ® . This popular
AAN magazine moved from a monthly to biweekly schedule,
enabling timelier reporting on neurological issues and trends and
providing a more newsworthy publication to members.

esT Possible cARe
2006 was a year of education accomplishments for the AAN and
its members. The process for defining the educational offerings at
the Annual Meeting was streamlined and aligned with evolving
Maintenance of Certification (MOC) concepts. The design of the
regional conferences was refined in response to member feedback.
Key initiatives in web-based resources and educational opportunities
matured. Importantly, communication has been enhanced with the
American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology regarding the AAN’s
support of its membership in meeting the MOC requirements and
the Neurology Residency Review Council in refining and meeting
resident training requirements. This work will help ensure that
AAN members continue to have the necessary training they need to
provide the best possible care for their patients.

• REGIONAL CONFERENCES REVAMPED. Regional conferences were
offered in January in Las Vegas and October in Washington, DC. The
conferences were dramatically changed during the summer of 2006
to appeal to more members with new programming options. For the
event in Washington, DC, additional programming included a dystonia
workshop, a half-day update program on multiple sclerosis, an evening
epilepsy therapy program, new programs for BRAINS members, and
a colloquium on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke Clinical Research Collaboration (NINDS CRC).
• NEW ONLINE EDuCATION RESOuRCE DEBuTS. The AAN launched
the Virtual Annual Meeting, providing access to more than 50 programs
and 240 hours of content captured at the meeting, including Plenary
Sessions, Education Programs, and Therapy Programs. These webcasts-
on-demand provide access to programs attendees missed, and enable
members who could not attend the meeting the opportunity to
experience it in their home or office.
• SuPPORT FOR EDuCATION RESEARCH. Two education research
grants were awarded in this new program to promote education
research in neurology, improve neurology education, and promote
career development of educators in the specialty.
• THE RITE CHANGES. The Residency In-service Training Examination
for residents was enhanced with a new preparation “blueprint,”
improved questions, and revised scoring. Contemporary Issues, a
new specialty section, posed questions on core competencies,
ethics/professionalism, HIPAA, driving, end-of-life/palliative care, and
the business of neurology.
• MENTORSHIP PROGRAM LAuNCHED. A new Mentorship Program
will improve recruitment of trainees into neurology by fostering
mentorships with neurologists and provide access, perspective, and
advice for trainees considering neurology as a career and residents
considering specific subspecialties in neurology, especially for those
trainees at an institution in which neurology or a subspecialty of
interest is not adequately represented. The Mentorship Program will
have a positive effect on neurology and members because it provides
a mechanism for networking and growth within the field.

imPRoving
The PRocess
Pay-for-performance, a long-standing reality in primary care, is now on
the horizon for specialists. The AAN has taken an active role to ensure that
neurologists’ interests are protected and AAN members are prepared.
Although some may bemoan the development of pay-for-performance
initiatives, the increasing demand from patients and payers for objective
clinical quality measures ensures the continued expansion of such
programs.
The AAN’s response to this demand results from the extraordinary
efforts of many AAN leaders, including stroke indicators co-author Robert
Holloway, MD, MPH, and quality improvement leaders Christopher
Bever, MD, MBA; Bruce Sigsbee, MD; Edgar Kenton, III, MD; and James
Stevens, MD. The AAN asks our members to participate in voluntary
reporting and provide us with the feedback that is critical in improving
the process.

• 100 TH GuIDELINE PuBLISHED. The AAN’s 100 th guideline was one
of four addressing Parkinson’s disease, which generated considerable
public and professional interest. At a media conference, Robin Elliot,
executive director of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, praised the
guidelines for addressing the most important patient needs. Rasheda Ali,
author and daughter of Muhammad Ali, voiced widely broadcast public
service announcements promoting the guidelines, calling attention to
the specific, significant improvements to care.
• CLEARING THE AIR ON P4P AND QuALITy INITIATIVES. Several
AAN committees and work groups collaborated to protect the interests
of neurologists related to pay-for-performance and new quality-driven
programs. To help members better understand the ever-evolving and
often confusing developments, numerous articles were published in
AANnews ® and Neurology Today ® , and a pay-for-performance
presentation was developed and shared with neurologists at state
society meetings.
• LEADERSHIP PROVIDED ON QuALITy MEASuRES. The AAN is
spearheading quality measures for neurological conditions, ensuring
the use of evidence-based measures as accountability metrics. We led
the development of the Stroke and Stroke Rehabilitation Measurement
Set and supported the Geriatrics Measurement Set (including risk of
future falls) developed through the AMA’s Physician Consortium for
Performance Improvement. Both sets were endorsed by national quality
organizations and were incorporated in the CMS 2007 Physician
Quality Reporting Initiative.
• AAN SPONSORS MS CONSENSuS CONFERENCE. The Academy
convened stakeholders to identify gaps in multiple sclerosis care to
address in new guidelines. Participants, including 19 physicians and
seven patient groups, identified seven areas where increasing knowledge
and awareness of the current best evidence could improve the quality
of care.
• PATIENT SAFETy TIPS AND TOOLS DATABASE REVAMPED. The
Patient Safety Subcommittee launched a new web database of nearly
100 tips and implementation tools vetted by the Patient Safety Tips
and Tools Work Group.

From my experience, Neurology Now ® has been an excellent
addition to the AAN’s patient education efforts. I have copies
in my waiting room and at the front desk, and my patients
always ask if they can take a copy home. The cover stories
attract a lot of attention, but even if they don’t feature prominent
people, my patients are still attracted to the magazine. They
clearly respond to its coverage of complex neurological topics in
language they can understand. They are very positive about
having this resource available to them. I am pleased that the
Academy has enabled me to provide this magazine to them on a
regular basis.

• MAkING A BIG IMPRESSION. Overall, our media and public relations
efforts made more than 228,573,000 “impressions”—the number of
times people were exposed to the American Academy of Neurology or
the Neurology ® journal brand names through stories in local, national,
and international media. To build stronger working relationships with the
media, staff made personal visits to national outlets including NBC, CBS,
Time magazine, Associated Press, and Bloomberg News. These visits
help position the AAN as a valued resource for journalists.
• MORE READERS FOR ExPANDED NEUROlOGy NOW ® . The leading
neurology patient education magazine increased publishing frequency
from quarterly to bimonthly. Articles examined how actor Marcia Cross
copes with migraines, new treatments for sleep disorders, the forefronts
of brain research, and the therapeutic efficacy of art and dance. Directto-patient
subscriptions increased to more than 100,000 individuals, and
estimated per-issue readership reached 1 million.
• FATHER AND DAuGHTER TAkE A JAB AT PARkINSON’S. The AAN
launched new Parkinson’s disease guidelines at the Annual Meeting.
Concurrently, a Neurology Now ® cover story featuring boxing legend
Muhammad Ali became the most popular issue to date and led to radio
public service announcements recorded by his daughter, Rasheda Ali,
promoting awareness of the guidelines. The spots were broadcast
28,000 times to more than 135 million listeners. Media coverage fostered
53 print articles, reaching more than 3.5 million readers. Audio and
video news releases about the guidelines exceeded 12.5 million media
viewers and listeners combined.
• NEW EDITOR, TITLES IN PATIENT BOOk SERIES. Lisa M. Shulman,
MD, FAAN, was appointed editor of the AAN’s series of education books
created for patients and families. New titles examined restless legs
syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pain, epilepsy, and Guillain-Barré
syndrome.
• NEW COMMITTEE FORMED. Recognizing the need for comprehensive,
coordinated, and consistent communications to the public, the Public
Relations Committee was established to serve as the coordinating body
for all public relations, media relations, strategic marketing, and non-
industry corporate alliance activities of the AAN and its Foundation.

AAN support was instrumental in starting my studies on
the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease. The Clinical Research
Training Fellowship provided protected time necessary to
develop a clinical research program. With these grants,
the AAN is providing key support to assist the transition from
clinical training to translational research training that is helping
to produce the next generation of researchers. These translational
and clinical researchers will develop tomorrow’s treatments for
our patients with neurological diseases.

• RyDELL ASSuMES FOuNDATION LEADERSHIP. Catherine
M. Rydell, CAE, AAN Executive Director, assumed the same role
for the Foundation as adoption of a new business plan restructured
the relationship between the Academy and its Foundation.

Our members enjoy learning, sharing, and discussing the latest
and most exciting neurologic research. The Science Committee helped
satisfy that need with several new programs for the 2006 Annual
Meeting. Two Integrated Neuroscience sessions provided in-depth
subspecialty concentration on the genetics of movement disorders
and motor neuron disease, combining educational programs, scientific
sessions, case studies, poster talks, and invited lecturers. The new Hot Topics
session covered such topics as ‘Cholesterol, Statins and Stroke,’ ‘Complex
Genetics of Parkinson’s Disease,’ and ‘Targeting EGFR in Glioblastoma.’
Another notable debut was the Future of Neuroscience Conference,
a daylong interactive program exploring new developments in stem cell
research. Noted experts used a variety of formats to present high-level
science and practical clinical application related to such topics as
regeneration, Parkinson’s disease, oligodendrocytes, brain tumors,
and ethical and sociopolitical issues.

The Academy’s publishing activities also represent a significant share of all
revenues. The journal Neurology ® contributes over $7.5 million to the $9.4 million
in publishing revenues earned in 2006, and remains one of the most visible benefits
of membership.
The Annual Meeting continues to be the premier event for the Academy. The 2006
Annual Meeting revenues of $7.8 million represent 26 percent of total revenues.
San Diego set an attendance record for Annual Meetings to date.
Overall expenditures in 2006 were $25 million. Program expenditures represent
82 percent of total expenditures and include the following major areas:
• Annual Meeting expenditures consumed 25 percent of the organization’s
resources, providing significant opportunities for continuing medical
education and scientific presentations.
• Publication expenses include the cost of member subscriptions to Neurology ® .
• Our three boards and more than 50 supplementary standing committees,
subcommittees, and task forces contribute significantly to the overall direction
and operation of the Academy. Through these committees, members are
directly involved with determining strategic direction for the Academy, its
programs, and services.
• Support services are 18 percent of the $25 million of expense for 2006.
While this is up slightly from last year, it remains an enviable percentage,
allowing more dollars to be directed toward programs and services critical
to the mission of the Academy and its members.

Consolidated net assets increased $5.2 million in 2006. Long-term investment
gains coupled with interest on cash balances contributed just under $3 million to
the increase. During the year, the Academy increased its long-term investments
with the addition of $4 million transferred from the cash account. Total unrestricted
net assets of $27 million are essential to offset any potential downturn in
publishing revenue as a result of declining advertising revenue, provide working
capital reserves, potential acquisition of a building for the Academy operations,
and maintain membership dues at current rates. A five-year comparison of the

The Academy’s financial results are audited by an independent outside firm, and
we maintain an open policy concerning finances. The complete audit report is
available on request or may be viewed on the Academy’s website www.aan.com.
Each year brings new challenges for the boards, committees, and staff to add value
to your membership dollars and to offer products and services that serve you. We
pledge to work toward meeting these challenges in the coming years.

AAn FoundATion TReAsuReR’s RePoRT
2006 was a year of significant positive change for the Foundation. The Foundation is
now charged with the responsibility of raising all corporate support for the Academy’s
Annual Meeting. At the end of December, $3.5 million in commitments had been
received representing 89 percent of the 2007 goal. The Foundation now receives
a service fee on all monies raised for the Academy, allowing us to operate
independently of a commitment of operating support from the Academy. This added
responsibility for the Foundation does not diminish the importance of our work
to support other educational programs sponsored by the Academy, including the
Dystonia/Spasticity Workshops and the Donald M. Palatucci Advocacy Leadership
Forum, in addition to our own research training fellowships.
The year ended with some dramatic changes to our balance sheet as a direct result
of this new responsibility for the Foundation. Cash is $2.3 million greater than a year
ago, and receivables are greater by $435,000. This is offset partially by the increase
in accounts payable, representing the amounts collected for and due to the Academy.
Our financial position was strengthened in 2006 with a $581,000 increase in
unrestricted net assets.

Revenues for 2006 were $4.97 million, an increase of $1.04 million over 2005.
Service fee revenue of $296,000, as mentioned above, is a new source of support
for the Foundation. A significant portion of the expenditures (71 percent) continues
to support programs of the Academy and fellowships.

While the year showed some encouraging results for the Foundation, we remain
committed to exploring new means of generating income in support of the mission
and goals of both the Academy and the Foundation with the help of our Corporate
Roundtable sponsors.
But we also continue to rely on individual support. your contributions and
planned gifts make an immeasurable difference in the lives of those affected with
a neurological disorder. We thank you for supporting and sharing in our mission!
