Constituencies

We use constituencies primarily to indicate the fact that a patron belongs to a group. For example:

            She is a regular supporting member; we have different constituencies for different levels of membership..

            She is a member of the Board.

            He is a staff member.

            She is a volunteer.

            He is a subscriber.

While we do not yet fully use solicitations, we would NOT use constituencies to track prospects. Solicitations are designed for just that purpose.

We are in the process of trying to clean up our records, including attributes and constituencies. In doing this, we've realized our constituencies tend to be repetitive with information found in other places in a Tess record. Out of curiosity --

What do you have constituencies for and why?

Does it seem like better practice to track your prospects for foundation, gov, individual, etc. in a solicitation rather than a constituency?

Thanks!
