-Recognition during prestigious 鶹ýevents, including conventions and board meetings
-Distinguished lapel pin

鶹ýis a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) corporation. Therefore, dues and contributions paid to the 鶹ý (AAJ) are not deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. However, they may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses subject to restrictions imposed as a result of AAJ’s lobbying activities. In 2025, 鶹ýestimates that the portion of dues, fees, and other similar amounts that it expects to receive are allocable to AAJ’s lobbying expenditures is 34%. Accordingly, 66% of fees, dues, and contributions to 鶹ýmay be deducted as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Members should consult their tax advisor to confirm their eligible deductions.
