Wiki source for Organizational
**====Organizational:====**
- This is where you list experiences for political organizations, such as the National Governor's Association or the National Conference of State Legislatures, religious organizations, such as First Presbyterian Church, and miscellaneous organizations, such as Boy Scouts of America or Rotary International.
- The following are commonly included under Organizations: associations, agencies, groups, centers, leagues, coalitions and forums.
- Also included in this section: chambers of commerce, farm bureaus, trustees (e.g. of university systems or private schools) and boards of overseers.
- Leadership Institute experiences are also included as organizational experiences.
- Take spans where provided. If no spans are given, but the politician says they are currently a member, enter 'present' in the 'Span' field. If it seems like the politician is no longer in an organization, add 'Former' to the title. If you are unsure, leave span blank and do NOT add 'Former' to the title.
- Multiple positions at the same organization during the same years can be separated by a slash (/). If positions have different years, list entries separately.
**Do not list any type of awards, including honorary positions, even if they are listed by the candidate.**
Example:
Member, Jonestown Chamber of Commerce, 1988-1998
Member, American Association of University Women, 1985-1993
Eagle Scout, Boy Scouts of America
Vice President/Member, Friends of Yolo County Library
Member, Advisory Council, Portland Symphony
Board Member, University of Pennsylvania
Former President, California Teachers Association
Former President, Texas Municipal League
**NOTE:** There may be organizational experience listed for some candidates. Do not delete, simply add the new information following the formatting rules. Update previous entries where possible. You can take off years if they don't make sense.
