What chairman-of-the-board donors give in federal races

Donors who entered CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD as occupation account for $7,056,050 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files. That sum sits on 5,401 contributions from 671 donor records. The four-word governance title is stored as typed, not as a verified board-chair roster. In compact millions the occupation total is $7.1 million.

Key figures

  • CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD occupation itemizations sum to $7,056,050 from 5,401 contributions and 671 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $1,306 per contribution and about $10,516 per donor record.
  • The four-word title is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified board-chair roster.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

Spelled-out board chair, a $1,306 mean

$7,056,050, 5,401 itemizations, and 671 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $1,306. Mean dollars per donor record are about $10,516. Repeat giving is about 8 itemizations per donor record.

5,401 lines from 671 records is a compact governance-title stack. The $1,306 per-line mean sits above BOARD MEMBER on a per-itemization basis in this extract. Arithmetic means are not medians; a handful of large itemizations can lift the average on a 671-record pool.

671 donor records on 5,401 lines is a compact governance pool: about 8 itemizations per record. The $1,306 per-line mean sits above BOARD MEMBER’s $1,023. Mean dollars per donor record of about $10,516 are among the higher officer-title figures in this extract. The packet has no public-versus-private split and no party flag, so $7,056,050 cannot be read as a board-chair census.

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD is not CHAIRMAN and not BOARD MEMBER

The FEC record does not verify that the donor chairs a public-company, nonprofit, or cooperative board. Executive chairs, honorary chairs, and retirees can all type CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled officer vocabulary.

This page cites only $7,056,050, 5,401 contributions, and 671 donors. BOARD MEMBER, CHAIRMAN, and CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them. Combining those strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC occupation to a homemade cluster.

Donor records and dual chair titles

671 donor records used CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD on some gifts and CEO on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party or corporate form from the four-word string. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $7,056,050.

Committees receiving these itemizations are not named in the packet. The 5,401 lines are occupation-side totals only. Refunds, redesignations, and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Do not treat $7,056,050 as net of refunds unless a later extract says so.

Industry pages group employers, not this chair title

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A bank chair and a hospital chair share this occupation string if they typed CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. Adding $7,056,050 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the spelled-out title next to BOARD MEMBER and CHAIRMAN & C.E.O.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, dollars equal $7,056,050, contributions equal 5,401, donors equal 671, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Quote the three facts together so the four-figure mean is visible next to the headline dollars. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules.

Reading CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD as a four-word governance key

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD in this extract is $7,056,050 on 5,401 itemizations from 671 donor records, or $7.1 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. People who type CHAIR, CHAIRMAN, or BOARD MEMBER may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD key is in $7,056,050.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $1,306 per contribution and about $10,516 per donor record, with roughly 8 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no public-versus-private split and no party field. 671 donor records on 5,401 lines is a compact high-mean pool, not a census of sitting board chairs.

Industry pages should not be added to $7,056,050. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, dollars equal $7,056,050, contributions equal 5,401, donors equal 671.

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, BOARD MEMBER, and CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. can describe overlapping people in ordinary speech and remain separate FEC strings. This page is only CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD: $7,056,050, 5,401 contributions, 671 donors. A homemade governance cluster that adds those keys without naming each source total is a different unit than this occupation page.
