Organizational History
Shows the member's official officer appointments managed through the Governance module:
- Current and past officer positions held
- Term start and end dates for each appointment
- Linked to positions defined in Governance
- Automatically updated when officers are assigned or removed
Note: This is a read-only view. To manage officer assignments, go to the Governance module.
Position History
A flexible, manually-managed record of positions held by the member:
- Add any position title (not limited to defined positions)
- Record historical positions from before your organization used OrgBaseHQ
- Include custom term dates and notes
- Useful for tracking informal roles or committee memberships
Organizational History vs Position History: Organizational History shows formal officer appointments from Governance, while Position History is a free-form record you can edit directly on the member's profile for any role or historical position.

View a complete record of the member's participation in organization activities:
- Registered Activities - Events the member signed up for

This helps you track member engagement and identify your most active participants.
