A mid-volume title with mixed meanings

330,088 itemizations against $88,429,618 implies about $268 per contribution. 16,313 donor records imply about $5,421 per donor and about 20 contributions per donor record. The repeat rate sits with other managerial labels rather than with thin C-suite keys.

MANAGING DIRECTOR is a different occupation page. Folding it into DIRECTOR would mix keys. This overlay cites only $88,429,618, 330,088 contributions, and 16,313 donors.

Executive director, art director, and board director may remain separate strings if that is how they were filed. Normalization is not a controlled job taxonomy.

Free text, not a board roster

The FEC does not distinguish corporate directors from staff directors. Employer text, when present, is the better workplace clue and is not one of this packet’s facts. Best-efforts collection records the donor’s word, not a secretary-of-state officer list.

A person who wrote DIRECTOR on some gifts and EXECUTIVE on others appears in both occupation totals. Occupation is stored per itemization.
