Chairman of the Board donations in the 2008 FEC cycle

Chairman of the Board as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $1,414,765, 541 contributions, and 192 donors. 2008 is a thin-donor governance-title cell: under two hundred donors carry the join. The occupation hub rolls every cycle that used this spelling. The 2008 election-cycle hub rolls every occupation that filed that cycle. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Chairman of the Board is a five-word governance title as typed. Nearby strings — CHAIRMAN, CHAIRPERSON, BOARD MEMBER, and CEO — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $1,414,765 or $7,056,050. Chair and Chairman can split the same people across filings if they typed both strings.

2008’s dollar share is 20.1% ($1,414,765 of $7,056,050). The remainder sits in other cycles on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,414,765.

The Chairman of the Board string across cycles

Under the exact label CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, harvested individual contributions sum to $7.1 million ($7,056,050). The 2008 cell is 20.1% of that occupation total. The FEC file does not verify a sitting board chair or a public-company filing. A share in a presidential cycle is a slice, not proof that the remaining dollars sat in any particular other year. Those other years are not in this packet.

Chairman of the Board is not proof of a public-company chair and not a PAC of the firm. Open Chairman of the Board donations for the $7,056,050 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

2008 receipts and donors

Inside the 2008 cell, 541 itemized contributions map to 192 donors. That is about 2.8 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $2,615; dollars per donor average about $7,369. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

Presidential-year volume can mix primary, general, and other receipts dated to 2008. This packet does not split $1,414,765 by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Chairman of the Board row. 192 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure.

How to read the two dollar columns

Keep $1,414,765 attached to 2008 and $7,056,050 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award, a research grant, or a USAspending obligation. Quote $1,414,765 with both nouns: Chairman of the Board and 2008.

What the Chairman of the Board–2008 join does not claim

Occupation labels are filer-entered. Chairman of the Board is not proof of a public-company chair and not a PAC of the firm. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $1.4 million. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

No motive, no vote, no ranking of occupations. Not a 10-K officer list, not a corporate-secretary extract, and not a nonprofit chair census. Use All occupations to compare other labels; use All FEC ties for other joins. 541 receipts and 192 donors are the volume facts for this join.

Questions

How much did chairman of the board filers donate in 2008?

Filers who wrote Chairman of the Board on FEC individual contribution records itemized $1,414,765 in the 2008 cycle, across 541 receipts from 192 donors. That cell is 20.1% of $7,056,050 harvested under the same exact occupation string. Nearby spellings are counted on other occupation pages.

Is Chairman of the Board the same as Chairman?

This join uses the five-word string CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. Chairman, Chairperson, and Board Member are other keys if filers used those shorter labels. The FEC file does not confirm a current board seat or merge the abbreviations. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Chairman of the Board in 2008 is $1,414,765 on 541 receipts from 192 donors.

What is an occupation-cycle join on LobbyVault?

It is the overlap of one self-reported occupation key and one even-numbered FEC cycle. The occupation hub holds $7.1 million for this string across cycles. The cycle hub holds every occupation that filed in 2008. This page reports only the overlapping cell, $1.4 million, so the two dimensions are not restated as one table.

Does the 2008 Chairman of the Board total include PACs or party committees?

$1,414,765 is an aggregate of individual contributions whose occupation field matches this string. It is not PAC independent spending, not committee-to-committee transfers, and not a party split. This packet has no party field. Open the Chairman of the Board donations hub or the 2008 election cycle hub for committee-level rows.
